Capgemini sets its ESG objectives to reinforce the impact
of its sustainable development strategy

Paris, December 6 2021 – In accordance with commitments made earlier this year, Capgemini unveiled today a framework of 8 priorities and 11 ambitious objectives, that are gathered into a new ESG policy (Environment, Social and Governance). This marks a new concrete milestone for the Group’s responsible approach.

Capgemini believes that digital transformation should benefit all of humanity and intends to be a benchmark in terms of its contribution to society, beyond its commitments to employees, clients and investors. In line with the Group’s purpose (“Unleashing human energy through technology for an inclusive and sustainable future”), Capgemini’s ESG strategy covers fighting climate change, investing in human capital, as well as responsible governance.

“In these challenging times for our planet and our communities, the Group is mobilized to speed up the transition to more sustainable and inclusive economies,” said Aiman Ezzat, Chief Executive Officer of the Capgemini Group. “There has never been a better time to leverage technology and human energy to tackle Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) challenges. This framework will help us unite our 300,000 employees with our clients and partners around achieving these quantified and transparent objectives, to leverage the potential of technology for the benefit of society.”

Building on a long history of societal commitments, Capgemini has set a framework of priorities and ambitious objectives through this ESG policy, covering each of the three ESG pillars and impacting the 11 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals that are relevant to its business:
