OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

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

For health and safety, the Group standards that apply to all our employees are implemented and guaranteed by the local HR and Health and safety policies in all the countries in which we operate (see section 3.2.7 Health and safety). We expect our suppliers and subcontractors to respect the same standards that apply in the country where we work with them, as stated in our Supplier Standard of Conduct (see{section 3.1.5 Responsible Procurement). As a next step towards duty of care on this area, the Group will extend the risk assessment to health and safety through pilot assessments within the supply chain in{2018. For environmental risk, the Group has a Group Environmental Management System (ISO{14001:2015) in place that identifies and manages environmental risks in accordance with international and local regulations and in accordance with our Group environmental objectives and targets. This includes managing risks within our supply chain. We have expanded our risk management procedures in{2017 with a climate change risk assessment that will be rolled out to all Capgemini countries as part of the regular management system approach (see section{3.4 Environmental sustainability). Our approach In{2017, we completed a first{risk assessment and mapping of our supply chain identifying the countries and areas that pose the greatest risk. We proceeded by: using the Group’s risk management approach for robustness X and consistency; using external indicators on human rights (by independent X civil society organizations) to assess risk by country; using internal expertise in the Procurement teams, notably X Category managers to identify high-risk categories; focusing on the high-risk categories with high spend to X prioritize; collaborating with Risk & Insurance, Ethics{&{Compliance and X CSR. The first-year risk mapping encompasses three top risk countries and three top risk categories. The high-risk countries identified are: China, Guatemala and X India, based primarily on human rights and health & safety indicators. The top 3 categories identified as high risk, based on our X operational footprint, are: Travel, Subcontractors and Property rent.

In our decentralized organization, every legal entity has an obligation to comply with these same principles as well as with local legislation, translating the Group’s commitment into concrete local policies and actions that further improve human rights within our sphere of activity. Modern Slavery Act Since{2015, Capgemini{UK is taking steps to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in its organization and supply chains, thus complying with the “Modern{Slavery{Act” legislation in the{UK and strengthening our commitment to human rights not only within Capgemini, but across the supply chain. A transparency statement was issued, available to all stakeholders on the website. https://www.capgemini.com/gb-en/wp-content/uploads/sites/ 3/2017/07/transparency_statement_with_signature_latest.pdf It states that Capgemini{UK has a zero-tolerance approach to bribery, corruption and human rights abuse, and does not accept that it is necessary for grave human rights abuses such as forced and compulsory labor, slavery, servitude and human trafficking to be part of today’s modern businesses and supply chains. Capgemini{UK is committed to its employees, clients and suppliers to taking appropriate steps to eradicate modern slavery in the business and the supply chain. A risk mitigation plan is in place since to ensure continuous improvement. Duty of Care Law As of{2017, the French law{2017-399 known as “Duty of care law” (or “corporate duty of vigilance law”) sets an obligation for French companies which employ more than 5,000{employees worldwide to establish and implement a vigilance plan with the reasonable measures taken to identify and prevent serious violations with respect to human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the health and safety of persons and the environment, resulting from their activities, the activities of companies they control and the activities of sub-contractors and suppliers on whom they have a significant influence. In line with the Group’s international commitments, ethical standards and business strategy, a responsible approach to procurement and the supply chain was launched in{2015. Our relations with suppliers and subcontractors are defined by a framework and set of rules aimed at working in a responsible and sustainable manner, respecting our ethical commitments and complying with international and local regulations (see below, Responsible Procurement). Following the duty of care law obligation to prevent human rights, health and safety and environmental abuse, we have conducted a first-year risk assessment building on the Group’s Responsible Procurement framework and using the Group’s Risk Management approach and methodology, focusing primarily on human rights.
