Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) announced that it has joined the Global Enabling Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), a global organisation supporting digital sustainability. With this membership, Dassault Systèmes joins a growing number of major information, communications and technology companies and organisations from around the world committed to promoting social and environmental sustainability through technology.

This commitment strengthens GeSI's work to use innovative digital solutions as a force for good, as we pledged to do in the context of Agenda 2030. We look forward to a long term partnership with Dassault Systèmes".
