Strong Leadership and Solid Values: The Foundation of our Business

Our seven core Values provide the basis for our rules of conduct within our teams: Honesty, Boldness, Trust, Freedom, Solidarity/Team Spirit, Modesty and Fun. Today, these values are at the heart of our identity as a socially responsible company. They shape our sustainable ethical culture and encourage a mindset which encompasses integrity and ethical behavior. We rely on our top management's leadership and our local teams' participation to ensure these values have global reach and relevancy.

Capgemini named a 2016 World’s Most Ethical Company^® by the Ethisphere Institute for the 4th consecutive year.

We do acknowledge that our presence has an impact on the environment, both direct and indirect, at various levels. At Capgemini, we focus both on internal and external efforts to promote and encourage environment protection. We firmly believe that Nurturing the Environment for Inclusive Growth should be the basic principle to operate on. Internally, we have undertaken a number of initiatives that are designed towards reducing our per employee carbon emissions, reducing waste and conserving our natural resources. Externally, the focus is on efficiently handling waste, creating digital platforms for building solidarity and promoting community action for harmonizing environmental factors.

Our Environmental Impact

We strive to minimize the environmental impact of our operations while supporting our clients’ sustainability initiatives. Currently, we’re addressing the following key areas:

• Energy usage: approximately 70% of our electricity usage is linked to our data centers, in which we host our clients' IT equipment. Our Merlin center has won numerous sustainable business awards as the most sustainable data center in the world. We offer training in environmental compliance for key facilities and property managers, and global awareness training for all employees. We actively monitor our power consumption, implementing advanced energy saving measures such as high efficiency lighting and smart energy systems.
• Business travel: while recognizing the critical importance of face-to-face contact with clients, our business travel and hotel stays contribute to our carbon footprint. We introduced videoconferencing and messenger services to aid remote and global collaboration. We encourage the use of public transport, including company bus services and rail passes in certain countries. Virtual working and flexible hours enable employees to work remotely and travel outside peak periods
• Waste management: from refits to refurbishments, our business activities generate waste. We provide recycling facilities in our offices, and employ environmentally friendly disposal and electronic equipment recycling. We discourage unnecessary printing and photocopying. All electronic equipment is recycled according to local legislation.
