It is a testament to the vision, dedication and hard work of my colleagues to implement the program. The systematic focus on inclusion in the configuration of our solutions can be seen in our Digital Workplace experience solutions."
Dr. Michael Fembek, Director of the Zero Project said "We truly appreciate the attention and detail Atos applies to disability inclusion and its accessibility work. As a result, we are delighted that the Zero Project network - experts with and without disabilities - sees and confirms this impact as well and has selected Atos as a Zero Project Awardee 2022."
