Capgemini named on CDP’s prestigious ‘A List’ for leading effort
to address climate change

Paris, January 22, 2020 – Capgemini has been commended for its climate action this year, achieving a place on, global environmental impact non-profit, CDP's prestigious ‘A List’ for climate change.

Joining the A list recognizes Capgemini’s commitment to climate change issues as part of its Architects of Positive Futures ambition. Achieving a place on the A-list is a significant endorsement of Capgemini’s environmental sustainability strategy to decarbonize its operations through continuously improving energy efficiency, reducing the carbon footprint of its services and processes, and setting ambitious emissions reductions targets in line with climate science.

This recognition places the company as one of small number of high performers out of the 8,400 who responded to the CDP’s disclosure requests.

Paul Hermelin, Chairman and CEO of the Capgemini Group said: “Business has a critical role to play in stabilizing global warming – the climate crisis must be the next catalyst for widespread reinvention and transformation. This is why we have made tackling climate change issues a number one priority for us and we are delighted to have been recognized for our approach by the CDP. This recognition reflects our active commitment toward the Net-Zero Economy. As a leading responsible company, we aim to leverage our expertise, innovation and technology to also help our clients transform for a sustainable future.”

The CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. Capgemini was recognized in a detailed and independent review that considers issues such as awareness and management of climate change risks and how organizations demonstrate best practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.

Capgemini’s improved score recognizes the robust approach taken to manage climate-related risks, as well as the huge progress the company has made in cutting its greenhouse gas emissions. Capgemini met its 2020 carbon reduction targets two years ahead of schedule, with significant investments made in improving energy efficiency, switching to renewable energy sources and reducing business travel. The company continues to progress towards its 2030 science-based targets.
