CEO Statement

Our culture and business ethics are guided by our seven Group Values. These have existed as long as the Group and they are now second nature to us and are at the very heart of everything we do.

Since 2003 we have been formalizing our CR & Sustainability strategy which is under the responsibility of the Group General Secretary who reports into the Board Level Governance & Ethics Committee. In 2004, Capgemini committed to the UN Global Compact and in 2007 as a natural evolution to the way in which we wish to operate, we signed up to the UN Global Compact “Caring for Climate” initiative and are now prepared to take the next steps.

We are determined to fully utilize the talents of all our people as they are the real asset of the company. With our encouragement, together, we can make a real contribution, for our clients, suppliers and business partners, to the communities, for our own wellbeing and for the sustainability of the world in which we live and operate.

We do this in our own special way through a long tradition of encouraging our employees to have the courage to develop and implement innovative and ingenious solutions to the challenges of all our stakeholders.

We have seen a lot of progress on our commitment to CR & Sustainability. An ongoing internal CR & Sustainability awareness campaign ensured that we could capitalize on our best practices across the Group and raise awareness of CR.

We will continue to take our role as a responsible company seriously and encourage our employees, clients, suppliers and partners to all play their part. We will only be able to face the challenges of sustainability with a comprehensive understand and full commitment of everybody.”
