Sopra Steria : Our environmental policy

Our environmental policy

At Sopra Steria, we firmly believe that digital technology can create opportunity and progress for all.

When closely linked to humanity, it creates a virtuous circle that benefits society as a whole.

Sopra Steria has chosen to be a "contributive" company involved in building a sustainable world in which everyone has a part to play. We see our contribution as sustainable, human and enlightened.

Cyril Malargé

Chief Executive Officer, Sopra Steria

A fundamental requirement of our day-today activities is that they must contribute to a more sustainable world. I'm proud of our people's commitment and motivation in working to ensure that Sopra Steria is a responsible company that serves the common good.

Forward thinking companies such as Sopra Steria are taking action on climate change now. They are reducing their emissions and supporting the move to a zero-carbon economy. They are also engaging their stakeholders, building resilience in their supply chains, and delivering low-carbon solutions and services to their clients.

Innovative Group policy, aligned to the new SBTi Net Zero Standard

Sopra Steria has been innovating to protect the environment for ten years and is a pioneer in this area. The Group has for several years been a leader on climate action and resource protection.

Sopra Steria is an active contributor to international initiatives aimed at mitigating climate risks and supports the transition to a net zero carbon economy in the Group delivery of it services to clients. Its greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reduction targets, linked to its direct activities, are approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi (1)) and aligned on the 1.5°C trajectory for limiting global warming.

Sopra Steria has committed to the new SBTi standard (Sopra Steria was one of the companies invited to 'Road Test' this new standard) to become Net Zero in 2040 in support of limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5C. This commitment preserves the emission reduction per employee (intensity) target for its direct operations (offices, datacentres and business travel) under UN Climate Neutral Now programme, where Sopra Steria continues to remain Climate Neutral for direct operations since 2021.

The Group's environmental strategy is supported by a policy broken down into 7 priority actions:

of our Environmental Management System (EMS), which provides a framework

for the Group's policy and environmental priorities.

notably energy, and contributing to the circular economy by optimising equipment lifespan and waste management, notably for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

and ensuring it does not fall below 95%.

from our direct activities (offices, data centres and business travel), as well as those from our indirect activities (waste, commuting & homeworking and purchase of goods and services).

Targets validated by SBTi: Cut GHG emissions per employee by 85% by 2040 (Scopes 1, 2 & 3, business travel, offices and on-site and off-site data centres, baseline 2015), reduce absolute GHG emissions by 42% by 2025 (Scopes 1 & 2, on-site offices and data centres, baseline 2015), reduce absolute GHG emissions by 21% by 2025 (Scope 3, off-site data centres and business travel, baseline 2015).

by reporting our impact on biodiversity transparently, taking the steps necessary for its preservation, raising awareness among our stakeholders, support public and private entities and working with local communities.

(employees, clients, suppliers, partners, etc.) in the continuous improvement process.

Targets validated by SBTi: work with major suppliers committed to the environment - ensure that Group's leading suppliers, accounting for at least 70% of supply chain emissions, control their GHG emissions, and, that 90% of them have set GHG emissions reduction targets by 2025 -, pursue a responsible purchasing policy favouring products and services with a low environmental impact, raise awareness among our stakeholders and contribute to the work of opinion leaders and

influencers, develop our employees' engagement.

into the value proposition (digital environmental sustainability, sustainable digital, impact of solutions and services on the environment).
