We care about our planet

As a high-tech company, we are aware of our industry impact on climate change and global warming. That is why we are committed to creating new technologies that do good — helping our planet stay greener while improving viewers’ lifestyles by enabling them to enjoy their favorite content anytime, anywhere.

We strive to protect our planet by:

• Ateme has reduced the energy consumption of a 100‑HD‑service headend by 91% since 2018. This major achievement reflects our ability to innovate continuously to optimize energy efficiency while limiting resource use.
• Designing future-proof software that extends the lifespan of our solutions.
• Sourcing and designing recyclable hardware.
• Following an eco-design approach for our own product lines. All our products are assembled in France. The hardware from our KYRION range is compliant with European legislation as it is 100% RoHS, REACH, and WEEE, restricting the use of certain hazardous substances. We also ask our suppliers to use only “no-clean” processes during manufacture of electronic cards, in order to limit water consumption.
• Reducing our own environmental impact, we set a target to halve our carbon emissions by 2030, as stated by the 2015 Paris Agreement.
• Collaborating with other companies in the industry to focus on best practices around energy consumption. Since 2021, Ateme has been a founder member of the Greening of Streaming initiative.

Carbon Footprint

Since 2021, our company has been working with Greenly to carry out its annual carbon footprint assessment. Greenly uses a methodology fully aligned with the GHG Protocol, the internationally recognized standard for greenhouse gas accounting. This approach ensures comprehensive coverage of emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3.

To better reflect the international scope of our operations, we updated our calculation methodology in 2023, switching from the ADEME Bilan Carbone framework to the globally recognized GHG Protocol. Additionally, in 2025, the reference year was revised and set to 2023 instead of 2020, in order to avoid biases related to the COVID period and to rely on more representative data. Emission factors were also updated using the most recent available data, which led to a revision of the results from previous years.

Carbon Footprint 2025

Over the last years, our emissions have evolved from 25k tCO2e in 2023 to a significant drop in 2024 and now a more precise result with 21k tCO2e (91% of physical data).

In 2025, the digital sector was the main contributor, accounting for 72% of total emissions (around 15k tonnes of CO₂e), followed by product purchases (14%), and business travel(3%).

Per employee, digital activities generated 27.6 tonnes of CO₂e, highlighting the significant impact of our digital infrastructure.

Carbon Footprint 2024

For the last few years, our emissions have evolved from 25k tonnes in 2023 to a significant drop in 2024 with 19,3k tonnes of CO₂.

In 2024, the digital sector was the main contributor, accounting for 64% of total emissions (around 12k tonnes of CO₂e), followed by product purchases (15%), business travel (10%), and service purchases (3%).

Per employee, digital activities generated 24 tonnes of CO₂e, highlighting the significant impact of our digital infrastructure.

Carbon Footprint 2023

In 2023, the digital sector was the main contributor, accounting for 70% of total emissions (around 17k tonnes of CO₂e), followed by product purchases (17%), business travel (5%), and service purchases (3%).

Per employee, digital activities generated 42.9 tonnes of CO₂e, highlighting the significant impact of our digital infrastructure.

Carbon Footprint 2022

In 2022, the digital sector was the main contributor, accounting for 58% of total emissions (around 14.8k tonnes of CO₂e), followed by product purchases (24%), business travel (5%), and service purchases (4%).

Per employee, digital activities generated 45.6 tonnes of CO₂e, highlighting the significant impact of our digital infrastructure.

Carbon Footprint 2021

In 2021, the digital sector was the main contributor, accounting for 60% of total emissions (around 12k tonnes of CO₂e), followed by product purchases (25%), business travel (3%), and service purchases (4%).

Per employee, digital activities generated 41.7 tonnes of CO₂e, highlighting the significant impact of our digital infrastructure.

Science Based Targets

Launched in June 2015, following COP21 and the Paris Agreement, the Science Based Targets initiative(known as SBTi) is a collaborative project between the Carbon Disclosure Project(CDP), the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resource Institute (WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

The objective of this initiative is to encourage companies and organizations to define greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets and strategies in line with the scientific recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Thus, Ateme has had its “ near-term target” approved by SBTi and is thus committed to joining the global effort to limit global temperature increase to 1.5°C compared to preindustrial temperatures.

For Ateme, this commitment corresponds to a 42% reduction in absolute GHG emissions from Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030 (compared to 2020) and to the measurement and reduction of Scope 3 emissions.

Planet Tech’Care

Since 2022, Ateme has been a signatory member of the “ Planet Tech’Care” initiative, which brings together responsible digital players who are convinced that digital technology represents major opportunities for innovation in the service of ecological transition.

By signing the manifesto, Ateme:

1. Acknowledges that environmental changes are a major challenge for humanity on which digital actors have an impact and must mobilize.

Ateme commits to this:

• Publicly via the signature of the manifesto
• To raise awareness of the initiative within its sphere of influence

2. To contribute, at its level, to the control of environmental risks, by committing to:

• Carrying out a measurement of the environmental footprint (at least carbon footprint) of its digital products and services
• Identifying and implementing actions to reduce its environmental impact
• Identifying and implementing actions to extend the lifespan of its digital products and services
• Sharing this information and actions with relevant stakeholders
