London, UK – 28 May, 2024

Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, has announced its award-winning Atos ANTZ Mentor Programme (AAMP) has achieved over £2 million in societal savings since its launch in 2015.

AAMP brings together Atos employees with prison leavers and people who have experiences social challenges to support them in making the transition to employment, or education and a meaningful contribution to society. The programme has supported 134 mentees, with 108 entering into jobs and education.

The programme is delivered in partnership with social value specialists, ANTZ, that has a long track record of working with organisations to deliver social impacts.

In 2023 alone, Atos mentors spent 450 hours supporting 21 mentees, 80% of which were prison leavers, in London and Manchester. Together they have achieved a 0% reoffending rate, compared to a 26% national rate, and supported 5 mentees into work.

AAMP is funded through an innovative partnership with Tier 1, which has recently been awarded The King’s Award for Enterprise, that recycles and refurbishes Atos and Atos customers IT hardware.

Samantha Jones, SVP for Public Sector, Health and Life Sciences said: “AAMP has successfully reduced reoffending and helped those experiencing social challenges in seeking access to employment and training. It’s a great example of Atos advancing what matters in communities across the UK. The dedication and commitment of our mentors and mentees is inspiring and delivering real change to people’s lives.”
