Rugby

Rugby holds a special place in the history of Capgemini.

Our founder, Serge Kampf, was not only a visionary in business but also a lifelong rugby enthusiast. He believed deeply in the values the sport embodies—teamwork, respect, discipline, and a passion for excellence. From the very beginning, rugby has been woven into the fabric of our company culture, shaping the way we work, lead, and innovate.

As the game continues to grow globally, attracting a diverse and passionate fan base, it mirrors our own commitment to inclusion and the power of diverse perspectives in driving innovation. That’s why our connection to rugby is not just historical—it’s a living, evolving partnership that continues to energize our people, and our purpose.

“Rugby is a team sport in which you can’t accomplish anything without the rest of your teammates”

Serge Kampf, founder of Capgemini
