OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.1 A renewed strategy: “Architects{of{Positive{Futures”

Materiality approach 3.1.3 We constantly strive to ensure our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy is aligned with stakeholder expectations. An analysis of the relative importance of social and sustainability aspects and issues was first{undertaken in{2014 with internal and external stakeholders. In{2017, a series of internal interviews and workshops were conducted with senior leadership in the Company in preparation for the{2017{first-year Integrated Report; their inputs are captured in the materiality analysis in the Integrated Report. Materiality discussions with internal and external stakeholders (investors, clients, unions, civil society organizations…) in{2018 3.1.4 The Group Board of Directors of Capgemini launched the Ethics{&{Compliance Program in{2009 to further strengthen the ethical culture that has been a core part of the Group since its creation. As part of this program, the Group set up a global network of Ethics{&{Compliance{Officers, and launched a Code of Business Ethics, Group Anti-Corruption Policy and Group Competition Laws Policy to reassert our values in every country in which we operate. All employees are expected to comply with the principles embedded in these three fundamental documents, and to complete an online training course (e-learning) on each of them. In addition to demonstrating the Group’s deep-rooted values and strong ethical culture, the Ethics{&{Compliance{Program is a key factor in attracting, developing and engaging employees by nurturing a strong ethical culture. Creating an ethical environment also strengthens our reputation, contributes to develop new business and positions the Group as a “Leader of leaders”, in line with our strategy. Ethics{&{Compliance organization The managers of the Group’s operating units (SBUs/BUs) are accountable for ethics and compliance in their respective units. They are also responsible for driving the Ethics{&{Compliance{program in line with local legislation, regulations and procedures. The Chief Ethics{&{Compliance Officer (CECO) is responsible for the Ethics{&{Compliance program across the entire Group. The Ethics and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the program and its achievements annually (see section{2.2.4). General Counsels also serve as Ethics{&{Compliance Officers (GC-ECO) in their jurisdictions. They ensure implementation of the Ethics{&{Compliance program within their regions and liaise with the CECO. Ethics & Compliance

will ensure continuous improvement in understanding the topics that are relevant for them on which we will be required to take action. All Grenelle{II indicators (article{R.225-105-1 of the French Commercial Code) are listed in the table in section{3.5, including definitions for indicators on which we do not report. For{2017, we have reported on the indicators that are most relevant to our business which are mostly the same as last year. For the independent third-party certification purposes, we have started to select the most significant indicators as a preparation for{2018{reporting under the new French law.
