IT services giant Atos has invested in an Indian wind farm in order to offset carbon emissions generated by services and data centres.

The move comes as Atos seeks to halve its carbon footprint of 170, 000 tonnes by 2015. The move co-insides with reducing power usage across the company and developing modern green facilities.

Atos corporate social responsibility executive Phillipe Mareine said that: "To become a zero carbon company, Atos strives to improve carbon performance in all areas of its activities," adding that, "In this respect, we have launched many initiatives including remote working, zero email, building energy management, and carbon audits.
