All Business Units action plans to progressively reduce their carbon intensity emissions (tCO 2 /€m) (sections D.5.3.3 and D.5.3.4). monitor their carbon emissions and must put in place the proper As defined within the GHG Protocol, Atos’ emissions are sub-categorized between Scopes 1, 2 and 3 and the Scope 3 is 2 parts (part A and part B): again sub-divided into fifteen distinct categories. For operational and monitoring purposes Atos’ Scope 3 has been regrouped into activities under operational control or direct influence. The categories include emissions from energy for offices, datacenters 3” regroups categories covering Atos’ main challenges and Atos’ Scope 3 – part A. This sub-scope called “Operational Scope since 2008. The coverage was 95.53% in 2016 compared to 91.32% in 2015 and 82.75% in 2014. and travel (planes, cars, trains and taxis).
