Atos Origin To Offer Carbon Neutral Hosting Services

Atos Origin, an international IT services company, has announced that it will offer carbon neutral hosting services to support clients on their journey towards more sustainable operations. Clients that chose to outsource their IT infrastructure and applications to Atos Origin’s carbon neutral datacentres, will benefit from the company-wide continuous improvement program aimed at further reducing the CO2 footprint of its datacentres.

Atos Origin’s carbon neutral hosting services are the result of three key actions. Firstly, addressing its Power Usage Efficiency (PUE); secondly applying global Carbon Audit program applied to all its datacentres worldwide and thirdly engaging The Carbon-Neutral Company to help compensate the carbon footprint produced by its datacentres - 117,000t CO2 through investment in a windmill turbine project in the Thar Desert, India.

“Sustainability is at the core of our corporate strategy and we are delighted to be the first IT provider to offer carbon neutral hosting services. We fully understand the importance of technology in reducing the carbon footprint of our own organisation and those of our clients, which is why we have developed our Green IT solutions portfolio to support our clients on their journey to a more sustainable business,” said Thierry Breton, Chairman & CEO, Atos Origin.
