OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.2 People and work environment

The network also empowers its members to act as role models, inside and outside of the Company. Now as a global network, OUTfront will pursue its mission of empowering, coaching, raising awareness and nurturing our inclusive culture for a richer diversity in every country in which we operate. Disability and inclusion in the workplace 3.2.6.5 At Capgemini, we firmly believe that people with a disability, visible or invisible, bring great value and a unique, specific perspective to our business, while reflecting the diversity and variety of the society we live in. We comply with national and international legal and labor requirements on this topic ( e.g. quotas of people with disability to be recruited in countries such as France, the Netherlands…) and recruit these individuals convinced that their presence contributes to more diverse and effective teams. Key achievements in{2017 are: in{2017, Capgemini joined the International Labour X Organization’s “Global Business and Disability Network”, a network of multinational enterprises, employers’ organizations, business networks and disabled persons’ organizations who share the conviction that people with disabilities have talents and skills that can enhance virtually any business; by signing the Charter, we commited to further fostering X inclusion of disability in the workplace following national standards and international best practice, and to share our expertise in{IT to improve disabled people’s quality of life; in France, we pursue our efforts of integrating people with a X disability by recruiting 3% in{2017 (two{times the average in the IT industry in France) and by funding a dedicated internal department for promoting disability in the workplace (Mission{Handicap). We partner with organizations, governmental and non-governmental, to share best practice and contribute to local and national initiatives aiming at higher levels of inclusiveness in the workplace. We also successfully ran again “Défi{H”, a technology innovation and mentoring program led in partnership with engineering schools around a technology/IT{project aimed at improving the lives of people with disabilities.

Since then, numerous sites and countries have joined the network, first across the US and Canada, then in the UK and in 2017 successfully extended to APAC region, including India, to cover more than 10 countries, and adding more each year. Started by three committed individuals, OUTfront LGBTQA+ gathers more than 400 employees across the globe representing all areas of our business. India has reached a significant milestone in the Group’s commitment to create a safe, discrimination-free and welcoming space for all our colleagues, regardless of their sexual preferences by creating its LGBTQA+ network. By doing so, we remain true to our promise of a committed Group to diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities for all. In addition to this, Group CSR acknowledged the need to enshrine this commitment at global level: the global OUTfront network started operating in H2, by connecting more strongly the existing country / region networks and providing advice and support to the colleagues who wish to create, in their country, a similar network. The networks operate internally in compliance with our principles, values, and the ethics and compliance rules. The level of disclosure of sensitive personal data at a local level remains fully in control of the individuals and is defined with the local HR community’s guidance as support in accordance with applicable local legislation. There is no personal data collected at global level at any time through the network. The local networks empower a strong, connected community, which contributes to: recruit, develop, and retain LGBTQA+ individuals by fostering X a safe environment within Capgemini; increase awareness and understanding of the LGBTQA+ X community, including the specific challenges it may face, thus increasing inclusiveness; demonstrate the synergies between our LGBTQA+ community X and those of our clients, therefore deepening client relationships; drive market-facing awareness of the Capgemini brand in the X marketplace, aligning closer with our clients, technology and business partners in new ways of driving relationships; raise Capgemini’s profile and employer branding as a safe and X welcoming place to be out, or an ally, at work. An important part of the network’s mission is to embark and coach business stakeholders (and as a priority, leadership teams, the HR{and recruitment communities) so that the allies network becomes ever broader, spreading a strong inclusiveness message.
