Planting the seeds of a greener future 

Environmental Reponsibility

 

At Sopra Steria, we understand that despite our best efforts, our operations have an environmental footprint. But we don’t just acknowledge the problem – we take action to address it and limit our impact on global warming. Our commitment to sustainability is exemplified by initiatives such as the electrification of our lease car fleet and the Sopra Steria Forest in Belgium. Here we’re demonstrating our commitment to environmental stewardship by transforming former farmland into a vibrant forest, creating green spaces for the community, and contributing to CO2 absorption.  

Let's celebrate International Day of Forests

Sopra Steria supports the UN and EU goals of transitioning to a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) has validated our targets for reducing emissions from direct activities, which are independently verified annually.  The “Sopra Steria Net Zero 2040” standard focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions while limiting compensation for remaining emissions to 10%.  

We commit to

  • Green mobility
  • Renewable energy

Working alongside local communities and vulnerable populations

Sopra Steria’s commitment to community

The Group is committed to helping vulnerable people by focusing on four types of actions:

  • Digital inclusion, - Access to education,
  • Access to employment,
  • The right to water.

To fulfil this commitment, which involves more than 1,000 of our employees, the Group has set up two foundations situated in France and India and sponsors local charities.

The community fundraising events that are organised every year illustrate the commitment of our employees.

Mobilised around charitable causes which are also linked to environmental issues, employees raise funds for both the Group’s community programs and for associations of their choice. These events are organised in India as “Share and Support Day”, in the United Kingdom as “Community Matters”, in Scandinavia as “The Challenge” and in Poland as the “Charity Challenge”. Community initiatives that tackle local issues also involve employees within those countries in which the Group operates, such as Italy, France, Belgium, Spain, France, Poland and Morocco.

In Germany, Norway and the United Kingdom, employees can finance associations as well as the Group’s educational program in India through salary contributions.
