Abstract: The article discusses IT technologies in the implementation of climate projects. Modern digital technologies
are developing very quickly and are present in all business sectors. It is IT that helps companies to make the
transition to a model of advanced harmless production, which means the use of safe materials, intelligent
systems, etc. Corporate Social Responsibility is what promotes sustainable development and is the basis of
the transition to zero carbon emissions. By supporting initiatives to develop effective standards for
environmental protection and protection, companies are making a small but very important contribution, and
new products, coupled with professional expertise, provide opportunities for making sure investments leading
to the main global goal of protecting the environment.
1 INTRODUCTION
The Ministry of Economy has prepared the first
version of the concept of the Russian system of
climate projects. It describes the rules for
implementing projects to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and the circulation of carbon units in the
Russian Federation, which, according to the authors,
will create conditions for green investments and
reduce the carbon footprint of Russian products.
Experts welcome the appearance of the document, but
talk about the need for a full-fledged national system
of carbon regulation.
The essence of the concept is a description of
approaches to the implementation of projects to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions or increase the
absorption capacity of ecosystems by Russian
companies.
The main effect should be “creating conditions for
attracting green investments and reducing the carbon
footprint of products” through the development of
national standards for climate projects and the
creation of their national register and the Russian
register of carbon units (de facto, the results of
projects expressed in tons of CO2 equivalent, which
can be sold or set off, all transactions will be recorded
in the register) (Ginzburg, = 1997).
The Ministry of Economy notes that the concept
is "synchronized with the draft law on state regulation
of greenhouse gas emissions and the Paris Agreement
(PS)", and hopes that the Russian system "can be
linked to PS mechanisms and other national and
international registers of carbon units."
2 MATERIALS AND METHODS
The global market for carbon units began to take
shape during the first period of the Kyoto Protocol
(2008–2012). In 2015, a new global climate treaty,
the Paris Agreement, was approved, the economic
mechanisms of which are still being developed. So
far, a number of regional schemes operate in the
world, including in the EU, a number of provinces in
China, a number of US states and Canada (usually in
the form of quota systems and carbon markets), and
voluntary schemes.
Currently, environmental issues are quite acute.
There are a huge number of environmental problems:
global warming, climate change, depletion of natural
resources, improper waste disposal, deforestation,
ozone depletion, and air pollution. Environmental
pollution is one of the most dangerous threats
(Temnov, 1987).
According to the Levada Center, Russians
consider environmental pollution more dangerous
than terrorism, military clashes, man-made disasters
and other threats facing humanity. 48% of
respondents agree with this. At the same time, air
pollution causes even greater worries and doubts

among people. FinExpertiza, an auditing and
consulting company, estimates that in the first quarter
of 2020, the number of cases of high air pollution
increased by 57% compared to the same period last
year.
Environmental monitoring is the information
basis for a wide range of environmental activities.
The data obtained are used for scientific research,
environmental assessment and management decision-
making.
The Global Environmental Monitoring System
provides insight into the ambiguous impact of
anthropogenic activities on the environment. For the
analysis of the received data, as well as for
forecasting based on the results of processing these
data, enormous computing power is allocated. A
convenient and flexible data analysis system is
extremely important for solving environmental
monitoring problems (Temnov, 2000).
It should be noted that one of the most important
components of the environmental policy of each state
is the training of competent specialists capable of
coping with environmental problems of varying
complexity and scale. Here it is worth mentioning
information technology.
Modern digital technologies are developing very
quickly and are present in all business sectors. It is IT
that helps companies to make the transition to a model
of advanced harmless production, which means the
use of safe materials, intelligent systems, etc.
Atos is a global leader in digital transformation,
providing high-tech services in the areas of
consulting, systems integration, managed services
and business process outsourcing, cloud computing,
security and big data management. The company's
annual turnover is 12 billion euros, and the number of
employees is 110,000 people in 73 countries.
3 RESULTS
The accumulated knowledge and experience,
understanding of the peculiarities of doing business
allow us to provide comprehensive solutions for
businesses in various industries. Atos is the
International IT Partner of the Olympic and
Paralympic Games and is also listed on the CAC40
Paris Stock Index. Atos operates under the Atos,
Atos|Syntel and Unify brands.
Atos' goal is to create a digital future that is an
integral part of progress. The broad expertise of Atos
contributes to the development of knowledge and
education in the field of digitalization, bringing our
society closer to scientific and technological
excellence.
Atos enables its customers, employees, and

Atos has long been committed to the path of
sustainable development and provides its customers
with services that help companies achieve digital
transformation in order to protect the environment.
Constantly expanding its portfolio of solutions, the
company acquired the consulting agency EcoAct,
which specializes in developing strategies to combat
negative climate change.
Atos is increasing its sustainability consulting
capacity by joining forces with EcoAct. Based on the
joint expertise of Atos and EcoAct, a global
decarbonization center of excellence will be
established. It will be based on a comprehensive
approach to decarbonization, providing customers
around the world with comprehensive analysis
services, identifying ways to achieve carbon
neutrality, and providing digital solutions to
decarbonize digital and business processes
(Schreiber, 1977).
For the remaining CO2 emissions, voluntary
offsets will be implemented to help companies
achieve carbon neutrality.
The acquisition of EcoAct opens up new
opportunities for the development of the
decarbonization business, allowing Atos to expand its
range of consulting services and start providing
carbon offset services, thus providing unparalleled
value to our customers' business, while also
strengthening Atos' position as a leader in
decarbonized digital business. technologies.
On the way to environmental protection, small
and large enterprises in various industries are faced
with the problem of choosing and implementing a
sustainable development initiative. Every company
needs to have a specific strategy for protecting the
environment in order to achieve a sustainable result
from digital transformation.
It is now of utmost importance to provide clients
with consulting services on the implementation and
integration of innovative technologies that prevent
environmental pollution, including climate risk
analysis.
With the help of experts in the field, it is easier for
leaders of organizations to make informed investment
decisions, drawing on extensive experience in
developing digital transformation programs that meet
customer needs and support their business processes.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that digital
transformation is beneficial primarily to the

companies themselves, because they can draw
attention to their initiatives and thereby contribute to
the development of sustainable development
technologies in other markets. Moreover, artificial
intelligence and the Internet of Things can be used to
intelligently calculate energy efficient production
models (Egamov, 2015).
4 DISCUSSIONS
It cannot be said that IT projects are accounting,
economics and office work. Rather, these are three
directions in which developers will still be moving
towards perfection for a long time, and few people
can see what is beyond the horizon. All the brilliant
achievements in the automation of bureaucratic and
financial-accounting work are patched up to this day
with clouds of auxiliary programs and Excel tables,
without the possibility of automatic transfer of data
from month to month. At the same time, there are
many real areas of application of the work of
developers with a clearly defined task and
functionality that is difficult to implement. There is
no need to think about how to do something
dynamically and beautifully, but you just need to do
it in a practical and efficient way. Practice shows that
it is impossible to rush in the IT field, and one should
not hope for instant success. Information technology
is developing too fast. To count on economic success,
you need to focus on dynamic IT projects that involve
continuous development, and not a specific static
result.
The modern information sphere is a growing
world of threats. No matter how strange it may seem,
but progress in the IT sphere has become steadily
accompanied by an increase in the quantity and
quality of malicious code and negative behavior,
especially by “offended” company employees
(Porfiriev, 2010). It is very difficult to build a bastion
of protection around the entire perimeter of possible
negative phenomena. The other side is constantly
improving the mechanisms and quality of attacks.
This is not an enterprise access system, but
nevertheless such IT projects are extremely in
demand and vital for any company, especially for
large businesses. When formulating such tasks, the
risks of IT projects are significantly lower if the
development team takes already tested and
implemented ideas as a basis, and does not develop
“its own opinion” from the very beginning. Currently,
there are many proven solutions for creating high-
quality protection, and most importantly, they all
provide the accumulation of knowledge and
heuristics for distributed application in the field. In
fact, relying on a well-known solution, a company
can make its IT project as a connection of its own
infrastructure to protection mechanisms that “by
themselves” develop in line with the growth of
threats.
Corporate Social Responsibility is what promotes
sustainable development and is the basis of the
transition to zero carbon emissions. By supporting
initiatives to develop effective standards for
environmental protection and protection, companies
are making a small but very important contribution,
and new products, coupled with professional
expertise, provide opportunities for making sure
investments leading to the main global goal of
protecting the environment.
Now the cost of energy for most companies is
about a third of all production costs. At the same time,
we are seeing a gradual decline in the cost of
renewable energy. It is also worth considering that
many companies at all stages of the production of
products expect energy suppliers to reduce CO2
emissions - and no industry is an exception.
By adhering to the policy of reducing the carbon
footprint, the company reduces its negative impact on
the environment, which undoubtedly makes it more
attractive to job seekers. Also, by conducting
campaigns on sustainable development, enterprises
contribute to the promotion of responsible
consumption ideas (Nikoláeva, 2018).
There are three main tools through which
companies switch to renewable energy sources:
electricity purchase agreements;
solar photovoltaic systems;
mini power plants.
If an enterprise is located in a green energy area,
it may sign an agreement with the utility or some
independent power producers to purchase energy
from renewable sources. This helps reduce your
carbon footprint.
However, a number of enterprises face
difficulties:
Renewable energy is not sustainable often
due to weather conditions it stops being
produced;
A synergy of conventional and renewable
energy is required, rather than a replacement
for the former.
5 CONCLUSIONS
Because of the lack of understanding of this, many
companies waste money on expensive developments.

Thus, the article studied IT technologies in the
implementation of climate projects. Modern digital
technologies are present in all business sectors.
IT helps companies make the transition to a
leading-edge, clean manufacturing model, which
includes the use of safe materials, smart systems, and
more.
So, summing up the results of the graduation
project, it should be noted that information
technology is a set of methods and means of
purposefully changing any properties of information.
Information technology in the field of management
makes the highest demands on the "human factor",
having a fundamental impact on the qualifications of
the employee. Information technology is an important
component of the process of using information
resources.
