A Commitment to Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability

Capgemini maintains a strong corporate commitment to sustainability and actively strives to minimize our own impact on the environment. Corporate responsibility and sustainability are integral to the way we have done business in the past, the way we do business today, and the way we will continue to operate in the future.

Since 2003, we have pursued a corporate responsibility and sustainability strategy, led by senior management in coordination with the Capgemini Group's General Secretary. In 2007, this strategy was added to the remit of the Ethics and Governance Committee of the Capgemini Board.

In 2004, we joined the UN Global Compact, where members support and respect 10 principles relating to human rights, the environment, labor rights and anti-corruption. In 2007, we joined the UN Global Compact’s 'Caring for Climate' initiative.
