If the issue is not solved by the manager, or if the employee is not comfortable discussing the matter with his/her manager, or if other procedures for dealing with individual grievances are not applicable, the employee may use the employee-dedicated Raising Concern Procedure (RCP). Through the RCP, employees may seek advice and guidance on appropriate action from the local{GC-ECO, or even directly from the CECO in Paris. Operating since late{2013, the RCP is applied on a case-by-case basis in the countries where the Group operates, in accordance with applicable legislation. Commitment to Human Rights Capgemini’s commitment to Human rights is deeply rooted in its values and culture since its creation in{1967. The Group has conducted its business on an ethical foundation, encouraging and enabling its employees and suppliers to operate within the same principled framework. As a responsible and ethical company, we comply with the Principles of the{1948{Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO) refusing the use of forced labor or child labor. This commitment is further embodied by the signature of the UN{Global Compact in{2004. Accordingly, we support and comply with the ten{principles in the areas of the environment, human rights, labor rights, and the fight against corruption. Our Ethics{&{Compliance principles and program, our CSR{strategy and all the Group’s policies (HR, Procurement…) reflect this commitment and provide guidance on their effective application in every aspect of our activity, in every country in which we operate.
