Technology and Sustainability: Not or

Our journey toward a sustainable future is driven by measurable actions and clear objectives, as part of our roadmap to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2040. Per our highlighted recent initiatives, we are dedicated to making a tangible difference through responsible digital transformation. We recognize that achieving ESG goals requires more than just internal efforts; it demands collaboration and commitment across industries and sectors. 

Our approach involves setting ambitious targets, such as reducing carbon emissions, promoting digital inclusion, and ensuring responsible governance and innovation. These goals are not just aspirational—they are integrated into our daily operations and solutions. For example, we are actively working to minimize the environmental impact of our infrastructure and services or the ecological footprint of our operations, aligned with global sustainability standards and even our very own Carbon Estimator tool, which is designed to provide customers with estimates of the carbon emissions from their new or existing purchases for all standard offerings in our Orange Business portfolio.

One of the most significant ways we demonstrate our commitment is through our flagship solution, the Evolution Platform. This innovative digital infrastructure is designed not only to support business agility but also to advance sustainability objectives. 

The Evolution Platform is a comprehensive, cloud-enabled digital ecosystem that integrates connectivity, security, and data management. It allows organizations to modernize their operations, optimize resource utilization, and accelerate digital transformation - all while maintaining a focus on ESG principles.

The platform’s sustainability benefits are rooted in its design and operational principles: 

• Energy Efficiency: The platform leverages virtualization and cloud-native technologies to reduce energy consumption and hardware waste. 
• Carbon Footprint Reduction: By supporting hybrid cloud and edge computing, it minimizes the need for physical infrastructure and reduces long-distance data transmission, which are major contributors to carbon emissions. 
• Supporting Circular Economy: Its modular architecture allows for upgrades and extensions, extending hardware lifecycles, and reducing electronic waste. 
• Enabling Responsible Business: The platform provides real-time analytics to help organizations monitor and improve their environmental impact, fostering responsible resource management. 

We understand that meaningful progress in ESG requires collaboration. That’s why we work and engage closely with partners, customers, and industry stakeholders to co-create solutions that meet shared sustainability goals and reduce our joint carbon footprints. Our partnerships are built on trust, innovation, and a shared commitment to responsible growth. 

Together, we aim to win deals that prioritize sustainability, ensuring that digital transformation benefits everyone in the ecosystem - businesses, communities, and the planet - and which need not compromise our ideals and positioning.
