Both companies have been named leaders by Ecovadis for unwavering commitments to sustainability and net zero
Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, has today announced it has partnered with Atea, the market leader in IT infrastructure and related services for businesses and public-sector organizations, to deliver green and sustainable IT services in the Nordic and Baltic regions.
Atea, who has previously established a longstanding partnership with Schneider Electric, has been named Schneider Electric's first Elite IT Solutions Provider Partner in the Nordics, and will harness the power of Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure portfolio to help its customers manage their IT consumption in a sustainable and efficient way.
With over 7,500 employees located in 85 cities, in seven European countries, Atea has a powerful presence across all the markets it serves. Over 4000 members of its workforce, for example, are dedicated service personnel, who are perfectly placed to support end-users with sustainable IT and managed lifecycle services.
Schneider Electric is one of the world's leading providers of uninterruptible power, IT and data center infrastructure solutions, and the company has been recognized as one of the worlds most sustainable organizations for many years. Schneider Electric has, for example, been awarded a Platinum Sustainability rating by Ecovadis, which has also recognized Atea as a leader in sustainability by awarding the company its highest rating.
Schneider Electrics net zero commitments align well with our long-term, environmental strategy, and it is a great honor for us to be appointed as their Elite Partner in the Nordics, said Chris Ashby, Director of Strategic Partners, Atea. Sustainability is not a sprint, but a marathon and we must persevere for a long period of time if we are to achieve the level of sustainable transformation required. We are also completely dependent on cooperation with likeminded partners, which is why we believe our partnership with Schneider Electric will be integral.
