Atos Receives an MSCI ESG Rating of ‘AAA’

October 6, 2022

PARIS, Oct. 6, 2022 — Atos today announced that it has been awarded the AAA rating– the highest rating available– in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) ESG rating 2022, ranking it among the top 7% of companies in the “Software and Service” industry for sustainability.

Atos has held a leader position since 2017, and with this result it demonstrates its continuous improvement and commitment to sustainability as well as its excellence in ESG practices. MSCI’s analysts recognized Atos’ industry-leading strong management practices to address carbon emissions, including its targets to reduce its carbon emissions. These targets are aligned with latest STBi targets and aim to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2039 at the latest.

This award also highlights Atos’ leadership in clean technology initiatives with its solutions to facilitate customers’ decarbonization capabilities through its A to Zero portfolio of digital platforms and advisory services.

Additionally, the MSCI´s analysts noted a stabilized and reinforced governance at Atos and recognized diversity amongst the Board of Directors, which is made up of more than 50% women as of August this year. This strengthened governance supports the successful execution of Atos’ strategic transformation project in order to create value for all its stakeholders.

MSCI ESG Research provides MSCI ESG Ratings on global public and a few private companies on a scale of AAA to CCC. Ratings are based on industry-specific ESG risks and the ability to manage those risks relative to peers. The MSCI research is designed to provide critical insights that can help institutional investors identify risks and opportunities that traditional investment research may overlook. The MSCI ESG Ratings are also used to create the MSCI ESG Indexes.

“We are really proud to receive this triple A assessment which confirms Atos’ continued commitment to a sustainable future for all as expressed by our statement of purpose and our ambitious climate targets,” said Diane Galbe, Senior Executive Vice President at Atos. “As a leading company in digital transformation, we are committed to reducing our own carbon footprint and also enabling our clients to take action to reduce their own emissions through our portfolio of innovative digital solutions.”

Atos has a leading position in the IT sector in the DJSI index, a Platinum Award from EcoVadis, a Prime status in the ESG assessment carried out by ISS and an ‘A’ rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project.
