Paris, May 30th 2016 - Atos publishes its 2015 Corporate Responsibility Integrated Report following the guidelines set out by the Global Reporting Initiative (https://www.globalreporting.org/Pages/default.aspx) (GRI) and the International Integrated Reporting Framework (IIRC).

All the information has been assured by an external auditor and is gathered in two documents: the Corporate Responsibility Report and the Registration Document.
