Capgemini confirms its ESG commitment with an updated policy and enhanced objectives

Capgemini intends to drive progress and lead in the transition to a more sustainable economy. As part of its ESG policy set in 2021, the Group has already reached many objectives and will continue to build on this momentum through its updated ESG Policy. Some notable achievements include, as of end 2024:

• Reducing its absolute Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 93% and Business Travel emissions (Scope 3) by 62% per employee compared to 2019, already achieving its objectives for 2030 (-80% for absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions and -55% per employee for Business Travel emissions);
• Achieving a 98% share of renewable energy in the Group’s electricity consumption, in line with its objective to reach 100% in 2025;
• Increasing women’s representation in the global workforce to 39.7%, for an objective of 40% in 2025, reflecting an increase of almost 7 points since 2019. Furthermore, women now account for 29% of the Group executive leadership positions, up from 17% in 2019, in line with its objective of 30% in 2025;
• Reaching an average of 77 learning hours per employee, significantly above the objective set of an increase of 5% each year since 2019;
• Demonstrating its leadership in data protection and cybersecurity with the recognition of external rating agencies (Bitsight, RiskRecon and Cybervadis).

The updated ESG Policy forms the basis for the Group’s sustainability priorities and will continue to be embedded in its activities and offerings by leveraging technology, human capital, and alliances with key partners:

• The Group has added an investment commitment in high-quality carbon credits, in addition to its objective to reduce its emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 90% to become net zero by 2040, as validated by the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard, reflecting its commitment to address excessive carbon in the atmosphere today.
• In addition, the Group pledges to maintain at least 40% of women in its global workforce and raises its objective for women in global executive positions to 35% by 2030.
• On digital inclusion, Capgemini extends its target to 10 million beneficiaries, and starting in 2025, will be aligning its reporting method to industry leading B4SI[1] impact framework, which focuses on the depth of impact on individuals, rather than the number of people reached through community programs only.
• Capgemini also aims at strengthening the ethical use of AI by its employees, as this technology will deeply reshape the economies.
• The Group aims at helping its clients achieve their sustainability commitments by enlarging its portfolio of offerings.

“ESG is fundamental to our corporate strategy and long-term value creation. This enhanced ESG policy reflects our commitment to innovation, ethical leadership and meaningful impact in order to create a future where our teams, our clients and our partners can thrive, in a responsible and resilient economy,” said Aiman Ezzat, Chief Executive Officer at Capgemini.
