Microsoft’s<br />

Sustainability Journey &<br />

the Value of Partnerships<br />

Stelios Agapios<br />

Senior Account Executive for Greek<br />

Public Sector at Microsoft<br />

Stelios Agapios, Microsoft<br />

George Sifakis: I'd like to turn to Microsoft. Microsoft shares an ethos with <strong>Ideagen</strong><br />

<strong>Global</strong> that not many Fortune Two companies would ever, and it's because of the<br />

shared ethos and pathos, two wonderful Greek words. It is why we're presented<br />

globally by Microsoft. In terms of the opportunity for the sustainability journey that<br />

you're on, Stelios, can you tell us what that journey looks like?<br />

Stelios Agapios: Microsoft is not new to the sustainability journey, and we started<br />

this journey back in 2009. Our first target was to become a carbon-neutral company,<br />

and we succeeded in 2012.<br />

In 2020, we set up new targets to become carbon-negative, water-positive, and a net<br />

zero waste company until 2030. This was our first target. The second is that from<br />

2030 to 2050, we want to remove from the atmosphere all the emissions that we<br />

created from our establishment in 1975.<br />
