- For the ninth consecutive year, Sopra Steria has been recognised for its environmental commitment by the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project), an independent, international non-profit organisation that promotes transparency and progress in environmental transition.
- The Group has once again been included in the CDP's "A List", a distinction reserved for organisations that are the most committed to transparency, management and reduction of their climate impact, particularly greenhouse gas emissions.
- In 2025, only 877 companies – or 4% of the organisations assessed – appear on the CDP's A List.
Paris, 14 January 2026 – Sopra Steria, a major player in the European technology sector, for the ninth consecutive year has been ranked among the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) A List, which recognises the world's best-performing companies in terms of combating global warming and adapting to the new climate reality. This recognition underscores the strength and maturity of Sopra Steria's environmental transition strategy, built on the company’s long-standing commitment to sustainability and continuous refinement of its action plans.
The CDP ranking is an international benchmark for environmental assessment, and comes in recognition of the Group’s ability to transform its climate commitments into operational results, particularly in scope 3 – which covers indirect greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain - which accounts for the majority of the Group's carbon footprint.
Axelle Lemaire, Executive Director of Sustainable Performance at Sopra Steria, comments: "This distinction awarded by the CDP reflects above all the operationalisation and acceleration of our climate action plans. In a particularly uncertain geopolitical and regulatory context, Sopra Steria has chosen to stay the course and intensify its efforts to decarbonise its activities, particularly in Scope 3, through responsible purchasing and the efficient use of IT. Our ambition is clear: to put Sopra Steria on a path that remains compatible with net zero emissions by 2040, while supporting our clients in the environmental transition of their production and distribution models."
An accelerating climate roadmap
Sopra Steria has been committed to a structured CSR strategy for more than 15 years and is pursuing a climate trajectory aimed at net zero emissions by 2040, in line with SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) benchmarks. This ambition is based on the deployment of concrete action plans across all geographies, covering the entire value chain of the company's activities.
- Energy efficiency and building management plans (Scopes 1 & 2): optimisation of energy use and responsible management of office and data centre infrastructure operated by Sopra Steria according to particularly demanding criteria.
- Responsible purchasing programme (Scope 3) : Scope 3 is the Group's main lever for decarbonisation, accounting for 99% of the company's greenhouse gas emissions (291 ktCO₂e in 2024). Sopra Steria is working to strengthen the assessment and proactive mobilisation of its tier 1 suppliers, with 77% of expenditure on key supplier accounts covered by CSR assessments in 2025, and a target of 80% coverage, for 2026. This programme includes digital sobriety, which concerns all IT purchases (hardware, software and cloud services) representing 34% of the Group's carbon footprint.
CDP promoting international sustainability standards
With the world's largest database of corporate environmental programmes, CDP scores are used to guide investment, procurement and transition decisions towards a zero-carbon, sustainable and resilient economy. Aligned with the requirements of the European Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), CDP ensures a better understanding and integration of sustainability compliance standards (ESRS) and encourages the adoption of international standards in this area.
In 2025, more than 640 financial institutions, representing more than $127 trillion in assets, asked companies to report their environmental impact, risk and opportunity data via the CDP platform. More than 22,100 organisations responded, representing more than half of global market capitalisation.
