This initiative is aimed at taking action in these areas in conjunction with Ekinops, while also paving the way for future cooperation with suppliers.

"This carbon reduction plan reflects a true partnership that is centered around measurable environmental benefits," said Sé bastien, Sustainable and Risk Manager at Ekinops, "It aligns with our climate goals and also enhances the environmental commitments of both companies."

Ekinops will continue to improve its methods of measuring the carbon footprint of its products, identify opportunities for emission reductions in manufacturing, usage, and logistics, and continuously track environmental performance. The company will also assess energy usage under different configurations and design modular, repairable, and recyclable products. In the long term, Ekinops plans to increase the proportion of renewable and low-carbon energy used in the manufacturing process. At the same time, Orange Business will incorporate supplier innovations into its network and product design, and integrate these innovations into future solutions.

"This carbon reduction initiative is an important milestone in embedding sustainable development into our operations and supply chain," said Sandra Servi, Chief Procurement Officer of Orange Business. "By working closely with our partners, we can accelerate our transition towards a low-carbon digital future and create lasting value for our organization, communities, customers, and the environment."
