#UnitingBusiness: Elie Girard, CEO Atos

May 11, 2020

Check out this video testimonial by Elie Girard, CEO Atos, responding to the current crisis:

"The following COVID-19 is not directly linked to climate change, but it reveals further our fragility as human beings and companies. And I am sure that this consciousness itself we'll accelerate the reduction of carbon footprint by companies around the world. This is not a nice to have. This is a must have. At Atos, we can see decarbonization becoming a major need in our industry and in the industries of our customers, transforming the way we design, develop and use digital technologies. My wish, my hope and my commitment is to make Atos' digital journey sustainable for all in the many years to come."
