Case Study: Mercedes-Benz reduces CO2 emissions by 50% with Capgemini

Capgemini modernizes a premium automotive manufacturer’s application landscape to accelerate its transition to a CO2 neutral enterprise

Mercedes-Benz AG sought to become a CO2 neutral enterprise and fulfill its sustainability strategy but faced a rising environmental impact from its IT landscape. The vendor, Capgemini, identified the application infrastructure as an area for significant improvement and proposed modernizing a key backend service for vehicle master data.

Capgemini consolidated several deployments into a central, shared service on a container platform, implementing a modern microservice architecture. This solution resulted in a dramatic reduction of approximately 50% in both energy consumption and CO2 emissions, while also lowering hardware needs and operational costs. Capgemini demonstrated that application modernization is a powerful tool for achieving major corporate sustainability targets.
