OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.4 Environmental Sustainability

Environmental Sustainability 3.4 Capgemini is committed to using its expertise in consulting, technology and outsourcing to deliver the positive environmental benefits of the Digital revolution. According to the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), these could be significant with the potential for the Information, Communication Tehnology (ICT) to cut ten{times more CO 2 e than the ICT sector emits, as well as make an important contribution to improving resource efficiency.

This comes at a time when significant and growing environmental challenges are already having an impact globally. Rapid urbanization and increased consumption rates are leading to the depletion of natural resources and damage to fragile ecosystems. The impacts of climate change are increasingly being felt by communities around the world. Capgemini’s Environmental Sustainability program is our response to both these challenges and these opportunities, with a focus on four core streams of activity: Environmental Management 3.4.1 As a global company operating in over 40{countries around the world, we need to ensure we have rigorous procedures in place to manage our environmental impacts and respond to an increasingly complex legislative landscape. We measure our environmental impacts globally, using one{centralized system to capture millions of data points from around 400{facilities and covering the travel patterns of nearly 200,000{people. We have a robust Environmental Management System (EMS) to help each Capgemini entity to identify and manage its environmental impacts, as well as act to reduce these impacts and ensure we meet Group-wide targets. Group environmental policy 3.4.1.1 The Group Environmental Policy, endorsed by CEO Paul Hermelin, sets out the measures required by all Capgemini entities in support of our Global Environmental Sustainability program. It reinforces our commitment to the continual improvement of environmental performance across our global operations, specifically in the areas of energy, business travel and waste management. The policy can be found at: https://www.capgemini.com/resources/group-environmental-policy Our Global Sustainability Center of Excellence, a team of environmental experts, leads the way in ensuring we manage all of our environmental risks and impacts effectively, and remain compliant with all legal and regulatory requirements. Since{2009, a growing number of Capgemini entities have implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) in accordance with ISO{14001. We have seen how this structured approach towards continuous environmental improvement helps drive results. By Advancing our environmental management 3.4.1.2 system

streamlining our internal capabilities and establishing an Environmental Center of Excellence, we have made it possible to implement ISO{14001 and respond to revisions to the standard in a very efficient and effective way. In late{2016, Capgemini Group achieved its first{global ISO{14001{certificate for its Environmental Management System (EMS), the culmination of several years’ effort developing a global one team approach to environmental management. During{2017, Capgemini{Poland achieved ISO{14001 certification for the first{time, joining a global certificate which now covers ten countries, 208{sites and operations associated with 142,215{people. A further five{countries have retained individual ISO{14001{certificates covering all or part of their operations, meaning that across the Group more than 82% of our operations by headcount are now ISO{14001{certified. We are committed to increasing this coverage further, with a target to ensure all Capgemini entities with a headcount of over 1,000{people are ISO{14001{certified by the end of{2020. Measuring our impacts 3.4.1.3 Capgemini’s material operational environmental impacts result from our use of energy (in both offices and data centers), our business-related travel and from the disposal of office waste. These impacts, together with smaller impacts such as from water consumption and fugitive air-conditioning emissions are measured and reported as part of our sustainability accounting and reporting processes. Other environmental impacts, such as those on biodiversity, land use, noise pollution and the sourcing of raw materials, while regularly reviewed, are not currently considered significantly material to our operations and consequently are not discussed further in this report.
