Auto And Tech | Akkodis, a global digital engineering company and Smart Industry pioneer, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a ‘Enterprise Innovator’ in a report published by HFS Research, a major global research and analysis agency. The paper “HFS Horizons: Sustainability Services, 2024” analyzed 25 service providers’ value propositions, innovation capabilities, GTM strategies, and market impact factors.
Akkodis was named Horizon 2 – “Enterprise Innovator” after a review of its service capabilities, which included advice, frameworks, tools, and solutions, as well as services delivered through various models. Enterprise innovators are recognized not only for providing functional (mainly compliance-based) transformation, but also for generating distinct sustainability offerings that connect sustainability to all aspects of a business.
The research examines market trends in which emerging technologies are assisting businesses to improve data management, streamline ESG reporting, and implement net-zero plans. It emphasizes Akkodis’ comprehensive sustainability products, which incorporate technologies such as AI, GenAI, IoT, and blockchain, establishing them as major differentiators. The report also underlines the company’s strong commitment to circular economy concepts and extended producer responsibility, which include resource reuse, recycling, and product design for disassembly and longevity. It also highlights how Akkodis has incorporated diversity and inclusion into its business model, notably in industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and the gig economy.
The study also recognizes Akkodis’ expansion into sustainability services in industries such as energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services, as well as its expansion of partnerships with companies such as Salesforce, Microsoft, and Siemens, as well as its ability to provide tailored sustainability solutions, which increases its impact and expertise in this space.
Jan Gupta, President of Akkodis, stated, “This ranking reflects Akkodis’ expertise and advisory-led approach to sustainability.” Our sustainability products achieve essential results such as lower lifecycle emissions, increased resource efficiency, CO2 tracking, and greater regulatory compliance. He went on to say, “Akkodis believes that ‘Tech for Good’ is critical, and that the Smart Industry revolution must serve as a catalyst for long-term development. Smart Industry may act as a powerful change agent, bridging the digital divide and creating a more inclusive world. Our clients trust us to create with purpose, assisting them in making a beneficial impact on both the environment and society.”
