Where responsibility becomes impact
Digital technology has the power to tackle major environmental and social challenges, and with that power comes responsibility. That’s why Corporate Social Responsibility is not a separate initiative; it is embedded in how we operate every day. Aligned with the Orange Group, our actions are driven by an ethical and sustainable approach to generate value for customers, employees, and society.
Lead the Future: The Orange strategic blueprint
Lead the Future, the strategic plan launched by the Orange Group in February 2023, sets out a new business model guided by environmental, social and governance considerations. Our commitments, actions and capabilities have garnered recognition and certifications from external organizations.

Orange Business commitment to sustainable cloud practices
Cloud computing powers our digital world. The benefits of cloud computing are clear: scalability, flexibility, enhanced innovation, and accessibility, enabling greater user mobility and collaboration, as well as faster time to market. However, because it is “always on”, cloud also consumes large amounts of electricity. Transitioning to more sustainable cloud computing is imperative, and Orange Business is committed to it as part of our support for responsible digital practices.
Orange Business drives measurable steps toward a sustainable future
Despite recent reports that sustainability is no longer at the top of boardroom agendas, we are reinforcing our sustainability commitments. Like many other enterprises we stay the course. To us, sustainability is not a nice-to-have nor a regulatory obligation, it is an imperative at the strategic core of our business. Sustainability strengthens business resilience and ensures the future of our business.
How Orange Business is helping you cope with climate change
When we sat down with the operations leader of a large enterprise, he recounted how a sudden flood had forced them to shut down a critical manufacturing facility for several weeks. He said his team had focused on responding to disasters rather than planning for them. Climate change was not on the boardroom agenda until it hit them directly. From this, you can see there is no escaping the fact that shifts in our planet’s weather patterns are starting to test organizations' agility and preparedness for the frequency and intensity of natural disasters. It is paramount that they act now to secure long-term resilience.
