The Group has zero tolerance for bribery and corruption.

Responsible behaviors and business practices

Fighting against corruption

As a responsible and ethical business, Capgemini has zero tolerance for corruption.

We voluntarily signed the UN Global Compact in 2004, committing to “work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.”  
 
Our Anti-Corruption Compliance Program is part of this commitment to maintain and promote world-class standards of business integrity and trust, wherever we operate.

Fair and open competition

We are committed to conduct our business in a way guided by the principles of fair and open competition, and in full adherence to the applicable competition laws. Complying with such legislation leads to better business, and builds the trust of our clients and the general public.

It also prevents financial and reputational damages to Capgemini. Hence we have adopted a Group Competition Laws Policy which is binding for all Capgemini employees. 

Responsible procurement

We strive to guarantee an alignment with our ethical standards, and the expectations of our clients.

For over ten years, the Group has had a mandatory purchase order policy and Global Purchasing System, which gives a clear picture of all our activities, from sourcing to payment. 

Our Supplier Standards of Conduct sets the minimum commitment we expect from our suppliers with regard to CSR, ethics and anti-bribery, regulatory compliance, and business relationship standards.

Cybersecurity and data protection

We are committed to protecting all data entrusted to us and defending our business, and our clients, against cyberattacks. 

Defending human rights

We strive to protect and promote human rights across our value chain, and in accordance with international standards. 

Our approach to ESG

There has never been a better time to leverage technology and human capabilities to tackle Environment, Social and Governance challenges.

Our policies

Having established policies by which we all abide – the Group, our clients, our people, and our partners and suppliers – helps us ensure our integrity as well as our compliance with the law.
