Approach to ESG

Now more than ever, we, as a global business and technology transformation partner, are expected to lead in the transition to a more sustainable economy and drive progress for positive futures with transparency.

At Capgemini, we pursue a consistent Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy embedded in all our activities by leveraging technology, human capabilities and alliances with key partners.

We published our first ESG policy in 2021, and we are proud to have achieved clear milestones on climate change mitigation and adaptation, equal opportunities, employability, inclusion, responsible business practices as well as data protection and cybersecurity, to name but a few. These results demonstrate our unique ability to apply our expertise and partnering power to help solve some of the most challenging global issues.

        *Our initial objective, as published in our ESG Policy in 2021, was to become net zero well ahead of 2050. Since then, we have refined our net zero targets in line with the Science Based Target initiative’s (SBTi ) new Corporate Net-Zero Standard. Capgemini’s refined net zero targets have been assessed by the SBTi and were approved in July 2022. Our new net zero headline target is to achieve a 90% reduction in carbon emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2040, compared to a baseline of 2019.
