Sustainable business

Build a resilient future. Secure long-term competitive advantage.

Unlocking sustainable business delivers immediate value and resilience, and it’s no longer optional, making it one of the biggest opportunities for organizations in the next decade. Our research shows that 75% of executives view sustainability as a core future-proofing strategy to drive long-term growth, competitiveness, innovation, and resilience. As climate risks intensify, organizations must go beyond mitigation and prioritize climate adaptation.

Sustainable practices also provide tangible benefits. Around two-thirds of organizations cite business value – including profitability, cost savings, and operational efficiency – as a strong driver of sustainability investments. Sustainability is more than compliance – it’s a catalyst for transformation and performance.  

At Capgemini, we help clients connect strategy and resilience to accelerate sustainability. We empower them to set ambitious goals, through innovative solutions, data, AI, and energy consumption management, to address climate risks, and embed sustainability across their business for long-term success.

“Sustainability is a powerful lever for business resilience and value creation. It’s no longer just about compliance but about innovation, building trust, and long-term impact. At Capgemini, together with our clients, we’re ready to seize this opportunity and lead the way.”
