A renewed strategy: 3.1

“Architects{of{Positive{Futures”

“Architects of Positive Futures” 3.1.1 Firmly grounded on the Group’s 50-years old values, our commitment to social responsibility has been both a guiding principle and an area for continuous improvement and renewal as we grow and consolidate our business in a broad geographical space. As a provider of consultancy, technology and Digital services, Capgemini Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility runs across key areas where our activity has a clear and direct impact: creating a diverse and inclusive work environment, thus enabling our people to fully develop professionally and bring the best value to our clients, reducing our impact on the environment and helping clients to reduce their impact, and contributing to the development of the societies in which we operate with our specific capabilities and skills. Our approach is aligned with and respects all national and international laws and regulations, such as the fundamental conventions on labor standards of the International Labor Organization, the principles of the{1948{Universal Declaration of Human Rights (where we refuse the use of forced and child labor) and the OECD guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. These principles guide all our national and international commitments on social responsibility.

To keep pace with our clients’ demands and stay relevant in the market we need to embed sustainability, both social and environmental, in the heart of our business. We are architects of positive futures, collaborating with clients and partners to build solutions that promote environmental sustainability and help societies address the impact of the Digital and automation revolution. We have defined key objectives within each one{of the three{pillars of the strategy, with appropriate targets for{2020. The three{pillars are: Diversity: building an inclusive workplace, attracting and X retaining a diverse workforce to enable Capgemini and our employees to thrive. Diversity is embedded in our HR and Talent policies and processes; Digital inclusion: using our skills to help societies address the X impact of the Digital and automation revolution; Environmental sustainability: minimizing our environmental X impacts, building business resilience against climate change, and supporting clients with their sustainability challenges. The strategy is solidly grounded on Capgemini’s culture and longstanding ethics and values. Capgemini’s leadership has committed to embed these principles in our ways of working, decision making and thought leadership. Our implementation approach is to empower people to become “Architects of Positive Futures”.
