Atos chooses SAP tool to boost sustainability

The solution will go live in early 2012

IT services provider Atos is to deploy SAP's BusinessObjects Sustainability Performance Management (SPM) tool to better monitor its performance against its sustainability goals.

SPM will allow Atos to collect data related to sustainability, and allow it to automate sustainability management and reporting operations.

It can also compile disclosures and create reports that help ensure Atos is fulfilling its objectives.

"SPM turns our business data into knowledge and can allow us to make real changes and check whether our sustainability initiatives are providing benefits, such as cost savings. This can help us plan for new initiatives," said Giles Hutchins, Atos global director of sustainable solutions.

Hutchins said the company chose SAP because of its approach to sustainability.

"SAP takes sustainability very seriously both from a software and a data management perspective. It also already works with the Carbon Disclosure Project around reporting and has other applications in its portfolio that are aligned with sustainability. This means it is a good match for us," he said.

Atos plans to go live with the application in early 2012, and roll out the product to sites across 42 countries.
