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
  • Reducing energy consumption
  • Recycle, reduce and reuse electronic waste
  • Science based targets to limit global warming

We focus on

Title* : Sustainable Environment: Taking action and innovating for the environment

Taking action and innovating for the environment

We, Sopra Steria, recognise that we must reduce the impact of our activities on the environment.

By making the careful use of resources part of our culture, we strive to run our organisation in a way that minimises its environmental footprint. But we do more, with programmes such as carbon offsetting, investment in renewable energy and projects delivering access to water.

To deliver our environmental policy, we are implementing an action programme based on four approaches to Sustainable Development:

Applying the principles of the low-carbon economy

  • Adopting science-based targets for our greenhouse gas emissions,
  • Engaging customers, partners and suppliers in reducing their emissions,
  • Implementing an internal carbon price,
  • Procuring renewable energy amounting to 69% of the electricity consumption of on-site offices and data centres;

Being carbon neutral

  • Making our offices, data centres (on- and off-site) and business travel CarbonNeutral®, so that by engaging us, customers and suppliers reduce the carbon footprints of their value chains;

Managing sustainability

  • Operating an Environmental Management System certified to ISO 14001;

Developing the circular economy

  • Applying the principles internally and making;suppliers and customers aware of their opportunities for action;

Developing environmentally friendly services

  • In the fields of energy, transport and dematerialisation, in particular;

Contributing to local and international initiatives

  • Collaborating with other economic players in addressing climate change and environmental degradation.
