OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.3 Social impact and digital inclusion

Partnering with DEF, Capgemini reached 900{beneficiaries in{2017 in ten{government primary and junior schools, creating e-learning centers under Raising Standards of Education and Going Digital (RAISED) project, in collaboration with the local administration of the Gautama Buddha Nagar District of Uttar Pradesh. E-learning prepares students of today to become responsible Digital citizens for their community and its empowerment for the future. http://defindia.org/ Donations : channelling donations to relevant partners that can help us achieve our goals (see{3.3.3). Client Partnerships : working with clients and business X partners on Digital inclusion initiatives is hugely beneficial to our relationship, our level of impact and our reputation. Sponsorship : the leadership at global and local level, HR and X CSR will work with the business teams to ensure they are equipped to accelerate the streamlining of our partnerships and beneficiaries, and to engage employees adequately. Donations, if channelled appropriately and by choosing the relevant partners, will help us accelerate our impact. They have been progressively aligned to education and skills (2015-2016) and will now align to Digital inclusion up to a certain level (80% by 2020), while leaving a level of autonomy (20%) for local business and employees to engage in equally relevant social challenges from a local perspective. These local needs will differ from one country to the other, reflecting different situations and challenges. As an example, we have rationalized our social impact partner base by 20% in North America in{H1, aligning to education{&{skills, and in{2018 will pursue opportunities to play in the Digital inclusion space.

As an example, an impactful Digital inclusion initiative in India is: The Digital Empowerment Foundation, (DEF): aims to connect X underserved communities of India by providing them with access to information. With the belief “Inform, Communicate and Empower”, DEF finds sustainable Digital initiatives to overcome information poverty in rural and remote locations of India, and empower communities with Digital literacy, Digital tools and last mile connectivity. Key drivers for Digital inclusion 3.3.2 Leadership engagement : we will share our Digital inclusion strategy and framework and cascade group guidelines and policy for approving donations and volunteering opportunities. Employee engagement : we will create awareness and equip X our workforce to engage in existing initiatives, drive conversations with clients on our Digital inclusion agenda in search of potential areas for collaboration and enable them to use their key skills to take positive action. Donations 3.3.3 In{2017, we have contributed €3,371,900 to social impact initiatives across our geographies through donations made to local and global non-for-profit organizations, charities, educational institutions and other, mostly local, partners. Donations are mostly charitable contributions, but there is also a significant and growing number of pro-bono hours given to the community by participating in social impact projects, initiatives, or in skills-based schemes to support the non-profit organizations with their specific challenges ( e.g . with business consulting or IT{skills to help them improve their effectiveness). Our aim is to engage employees more strongly to use their skills for a positive social impact through innovative projects and actions led with local business leadership, partners, and whenever possible with clients, for higher collective social impact.
