Environmental Sustainability

Supporting companies globally requires an expansive business footprint. At Atlas, we strive to be a strong environmental advocate for sustainable business practices. We’re committed to building sustainable operations, improving energy efficiency, and reducing waste throughout our locations.

What is Atlas doing to be a steward of the environment?

Atlas continually works to address our environmental impact on society, for the planet, and for our long-term success.

  • Energy

    Atlas follows and implements best practices to reduce energy consumption and harmful emissions.

  • Waste

    Atlas is dedicated to reducing our waste as we conduct business, and to recycling the waste we do produce.

  • Sustainable Offices

    Atlas aims to host our offices in sustainably certified, environmentally friendly buildings.

Energy and Emissions

In 2024, Atlas prioritized reducing its carbon footprint through smarter office space use and sustainable travel practices.

  • 23% reduction in office space, contributing to a 31.4% decrease in electricity consumption.

  • Regional meetings replaced long-distance travel for events, reducing travel emissions.

  • Future plans include measuring remote work emissions to support greener practices through our Planet A impact community.

Waste Management

Atlas promotes sustainability through waste reduction initiatives across all offices.

  • Recycling programs, reusable kitchenware, and coffee pod recycling reduce daily waste.

  • Over 10,000 plastic bottles saved in 2023 using Chicago’s water dispenser.

  • Electronic waste is donated or responsibly recycled through local partnerships.

Sustainable Office Buildings

Atlas makes energy-efficient practices a priority. Our environmental commitment is to increase the number of sustainably certified office buildings and shared workspaces for our organization.

Where possible, we’ve partnered with certified green building spaces so that the offices we lease follow global environmental standards. This includes our Chicago, Illinois (LEED Certified Gold), our Medellin, Colombia location (LEED Silver), and our Shanghai (LEED Certified Platinum) offices.

These buildings are efficient and cost-effective, providing healthier workspaces for our employees and the environment.
