We support our planet by innovating to protect the environment

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity.

At Sopra Steria we believe the world is how we shape it and we harness the power of innovation to drive positive change in business and society. Our services only matter if they work for people, our planet and if they serve a greater purpose.

We have transformed the way we work to ensure everyone in the company plays their part in supporting a healthier planet. Where people can breathe clean air, the planet’s natural resources are conserved, and future generations can be protected from suffering the worst effects of climate change.

Digital sustainability has a key role to play in the transition to net zero

Digital transformation plays a key role in enabling organisations to realise positive sustainable outcomes. At the same time the IT sector has its own footprint. We’re committed to fighting climate change by reducing the environmental impact of our own operations.

We see our role in helping our clients on their journey towards net zero by building and deploying our digital services in an environmentally sustainable way.
