Atos and the WWF have announced a three-year strategic partnership to leverage technology to support biodiversity conservation and to encourage businesses to decarbonise.

The partnership has been designed to tackle three key priorities – business transformation, financing and influence.

As part of the partnership, Atos will also support two carbon capture and restoration projects managed by WWF France: the Posidonia project, which aims to protect the meadows of Posidonia, a plant noticeable by its extensive capacity to stock carbon, in the Mediterranean region and the Nature Impact project for the conservation or restoration of forest biodiversity in France, using the approach developed by WWF based on Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES).

Véronique Andrieux, CEO WWF France, said "We are very excited to announce our partnership with Atos, which is already delivering results on optimising and increasing the reach of some of WWF's conservation projects. Helping us better identify changes in the habitats of key biodiversity areas or modernising some of the data collection and analysis tools used by our wildlife conservation teams are some of the outcomes already achieved by our common work. Our partnership with Atos represents a significant step forward, enabling us to harness technology for helping deliver our conservation objectives."

The Atos Group has been committed to minimise the environmental impact of its activities across the value chain worldwide for over 12 years.
