Government

Ministries at the centre of State development

Citizens and businesses lead and pace governments and ministries. Playing a key role, they both originate numerous reforms and are responsible for their implementation. Their actions must therefore be tangible, rapid, effective and generate results in record time.

These complex challenges mean that Ministries undergo in-depth transformation while meeting their budgetary constraints. To be successful, this type of transformation must be based on three factors:

  • Innovation and new technologies must contribute to digitalising administrations, giving them greater agility and operational efficiency.
  • Change must be explained, helped and guided through all operational and decision-making levels to make sure it is accepted and adopted by both users and civil servants.
  • Discussion and cross-fertilization between administrations and compliance with information system constraints, etc. ensure that any transformation generates value.

A State vision focussed on efficiency

Sopra Steria helps the State achieve greater agility and efficiency. Our experts build creative and disruptive solutions based on citizens’ issues and viewpoints. This vision makes it possible to identify areas for improvement and to bring citizens and public services closer together. Using an approach that transforms people and technology, the State is fully rooted in the reality of citizens and private-sector players.

Building the State of the future together

At Sopra Steria, we have recognised experience in supporting Ministries, Public Agencies, Pensions and Social Security Departments such as the French Ministry of Finance (Customs, IS Directorate, Treasury, etc.), French Ministry of Education, French Ministry of the Environment, inter-ministerial organizations, urban centres (in particular the Paris City Hall) and German federal administrations.

This experience enables us to streamline best practices and solutions in infrastructure management, cybersecurity, Cloud, AI, Blockchain, enterprise automation, drones, IoT and many other technologies.

As a trusted partner, we provide you with a comprehensive approach and service: including strategic advice, systems integration implementation and transformation design.

Our Sopra Steria experts work closely with your teams on a geographical, cultural and linguistic level. Whatever your territorial reach, they apply the appropriate technology and create tailored value-added solutions to your current and future challenges.

A results-oriented value proposition for the State

Sopra Steria helps public institutions evolve towards a new generation of administration, making each transformation an opportunity for progress. By genuinely focusing on the needs of citizens and businesses, we combine the most relevant advisory services and technologies to modernise the State while respecting its constraints and budget.

 

Sopra Steria strengthens its commitment to environmental sustainability

Title* : Sopra Steria strengthens its commitment to environmental sustainability
Sopra Steria, the European leader in digital transformation has been recognised as one of the world's leading companies in the fight against climate change. It continues its strategy to reduce its environmental impact, mitigate climate risks and support the transition to a low carbon economy. Sopra Steria was recognised with an award by the CDP (a global disclosure benchmark for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts).

An initiative rewarded

Sopra Steria achieved a performance score of A, the CDP's highest. This distinction rewards the company's involvement and innovation in its environmental responsibility policy and actions.
 
"Across the Sopra Steria Group, a large network of players is working on implementing our environmental policy, convinced that our company can act to help fight climate change," says Vincent Paris, CEO of Sopra Steria. "I am very happy with this distinction awarded by the CDP that recognises our commitment to the transition to a low-carbon economy," he added.
 

Increasing use of renewable energy throughout the Group

For several years, Sopra Steria has been reducing its environmental impact by using energy from renewable sources. The Group announced that it has more than tripled the proportion of renewables in the energy consumption of its offices and on-site data centres, from 20.4% in 2015 to 69% in 2016. The Group's objective is to reach a level of 85% by 2020.
 
For Sopra Steria, using renewable energy requires renegotiating its energy purchase contracts and acquiring innovative instruments for both fuel and electricity consumptions:
 
For fuel consumption:
 
In the United Kingdom, Sopra Steria is one of the first companies to acquire "Green Gas" certificates from Natural Capital Partners. Through this initiative, the Group consumes biomethane, which comes from renewable sources, instead of natural gas, a fossil fuel.
 
For electricity consumption:
 
  • In 2016, Sopra Steria acquired 17,884 MWh of hydropower electricity in France through guarantees of origin. Powernext, a registrar for guarantees of origin, and Origo, a distributor of guarantees of origin to Sopra Steria, certified the renewable origin of this electricity. 
  • Sopra Steria also acquired through Natural Capital Partners International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs) for hydropower in India covering its consumption of electricity from the grid in 2016.
The Group reduced its (Market-based*) greenhouse gas emissions per employee in its offices by 46.7% and emissions by its on- and off-site data centres by 32.3%.
 
CarbonNeutral® certification contributes to a sustainable economy
Sopra Steria offsets its residual emissions by investing in two wind farms in the south of India (Harapanahalli Wind and Theni Wind). The Group’s business travel, offices and data centres are certified CarbonNeutral®.
