Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, publishes its 2017 Corporate Responsibility Report and announces that it has successfully fulfilled the requirements of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards “Comprehensive” option in accordance with the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC).

The GRI is an international independent standards organization widely used for its CSR reporting guidelines.

For the sixth consecutive year, Atos has published an integrated report which includes the group’s key information: its financial results, strategy, materiality, and its CSR challenges and initiatives.

This ongoing commitment demonstrates Atos’ outstanding sustainability performance and sets Atos apart as a responsible employer, a leader in data protection and a trusted partner in the digital transformation of its clients.

In this integrated report, Atos confirms its progress towards achieving the extra-financial objectives of its Ambition 2019 plan and the success of its Digital Transformation Factory which is at the heart of the digital transformation of its customers and a value-added model for all stakeholders. Innovation, ethics, transparency and data security are also key priorities for Atos for inclusive and sustainable growth.

Thierry Breton, Chairman and CEO of Atos, states: “Atos is recognized as a European and global leader in CSR as we pay as much attention to the sustainability of our innovative offerings as to the support we provide our customers in achieving their own goals in a responsible and sustainable way through our digital solutions.
