TEANECK,
N.J., June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Cognizant (NASDAQ: CTSH) has expanded its global
collaboration with AT&T by joining the AT&T Connected

eliminating one billion tons (the Gigaton Goal) of CO2 emissions by

Joining the CCI is a natural expansion of Cognizant's
relationship with AT&T and represents a strong marriage of
technology, expertise and a shared commitment to helping

business outcomes and profitability," said Manoj Mathew, Head of Cognizant's Sustainability
Services Practice. "Cognizant's deep expertise in connectivity
solutions around IoT, 5G and Edge, along with specific solutions
focused on driving sustainability outcomes across industries will,
we believe, help achieve AT&T's Gigaton Goal, while helping our
shared clients become more resilient and successful in an
unpredictable world."
Cognizant's Sustainability Services Practice draws on

consulting services, using IP tools and accelerators and drawing
upon the expertise of dedicated sustainability professionals within

clients build sustainability outcomes into their digital and
business transformation roadmaps from "Scope 1" direct emissions to
"Scope 3" reductions across the entire value chain.
"Collaboration is key to measuring and reducing emissions across
global value chains," said Shannon Thomas
Carroll, AVP of Global Environmental Sustainability at
AT&T. "As we work to cut the emissions footprint of AT&T's
operations, we want to use our core competency — connectivity — to
help other businesses do the same. Having Cognizant join us in this
effort will only enhance our ability to make a true impact, and I'm
excited for the work that we'll do together to help create a more
environmentally sustainable future."
