(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 3-Feb-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Atos has been positioned as a Leader in Digital Sustainability IT Solutions and Services in Europe by Information Services Group (ISG), a leading global research and advisory organization. The recognition highlights Atos’ role in advancing environmentally and socially responsible digital transformation through AI-driven and data-centric approaches.

ISG’s assessment reviewed more than 35 technology providers active in the digital sustainability space, evaluating their ability to support organizations in reducing the environmental footprint of their IT operations. The resulting analysis is intended to serve as a comprehensive benchmark for the evolving market of green IT solutions. Within this framework, Atos emerged among the highest-ranked providers, reflecting the breadth and depth of its sustainability-focused offerings.

The ISG report examines companies that deliver sustainability-oriented solutions across core IT infrastructures used by enterprises in all sectors. This includes consulting, engineering, cloud and data centre services, managed services, and software solutions designed to improve the environmental performance of IT systems. The evaluation covers areas such as energy efficiency in data centres, optimization of end-user devices, sustainable software development, and responsible deployment of AI and machine learning technologies. Central to this assessment are practical use cases, including lowering energy consumption, increasing the use of renewable power, and designing more efficient digital architectures.

Beyond environmental considerations, ISG also evaluated how providers address the social dimension of digital sustainability. This includes ensuring that technology solutions are accessible to employees with physical disabilities or neurodiverse needs. Atos was recognized for embedding inclusivity and responsible digital practices into its overall strategy, reinforcing its commitment to ethical and sustainable innovation.

Atos’ leadership position was attributed to its comprehensive portfolio of sustainable IT solutions, particularly its Sustainable Digital Workplace offering. The company combines proprietary tools with strategic partnerships with organizations such as SAP, Microsoft, and Greenspector to help enterprises measure, manage, and reduce the carbon footprint of their technology environments. Atos demonstrated strong capabilities in conducting full IT carbon assessments, modernizing legacy systems, improving energy efficiency in high-performance computing, optimizing applications and AI workloads, and implementing lifecycle management for digital devices. Its use of role-based sustainability dashboards was also highlighted as a key differentiator. Additionally, Atos was acknowledged for pioneering decarbonization-level agreements within IT outsourcing contracts, committing to measurable emissions reductions over time.

A notable example of Atos’ impact in sustainable digital workplaces is its collaboration with the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Through this partnership, Atos has helped design and implement what is described as the most environmentally sustainable digital workplace in the UK government to date. Built on circular economy principles, the initiative prioritizes longer device lifecycles and the use of high-quality refurbished laptops, significantly reducing both carbon emissions and electronic waste.

Miriam Hanckmann, Head of Atos Sustainability Portfolio, stated that the ISG recognition reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to digital decarbonization. She emphasized that Atos is demonstrating how sustainability can be integrated with cutting-edge technology deployment, enabling customers to adopt responsible digital practices without sacrificing performance or innovation.

Michael Herron, Head of Atos UK & Ireland, highlighted the DEFRA partnership as a clear illustration of how Atos supports clients in their digital transformation journeys. He pointed to tangible results in emissions reduction, water conservation, and e-waste minimization as evidence of a proven and scalable model that other organizations can follow with confidence.

Matt Warburton, Principal Consultant and Digital Sustainability Lead at ISG, noted that Atos distinguishes itself through its delivery of sustainability-focused IT solutions and services. He pointed to its strengths in circular workplace services, green software engineering, high-performance computing, accessibility, and responsible AI, all of which are designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing business value. He also acknowledged how these capabilities complement Atos’ broader operational technology and data expertise.
