Atos confirms its position as the leader of secure and decarbonized digital, by providing customers with the most comprehensive, end-to-end decarbonization capabilities on the market to enable and accelerate their journeys to net zero.
The new “A to Zero” offering is a complete portfolio, supported by two new integrated data platforms. It incorporates climate change strategy and target setting, emissions calculations, Digital Decarbonization Assessments (DDA), reduction of carbon emissions, as well as innovative industry solutions such as Digital Twin, Decarbonization Level Agreements (DLAs) or low-carbon datacenters. Voluntary carbon offsetting with nature-based solutions helps clients compensate for emissions and neutralize CO2.
