OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.4 Environmental Sustainability

While certain local variations may exist, the Group’s main environmental aspects and impacts (for which data is collected) are shown in the table below.

Main Environmental aspects

Aspects and impacts applicable to the Capgemini business

Business travel (55.88% of our GHG emissions)

The international and domestic business travel we undertake, by road, rail, air, and from staying in hotels, all involve the combustion of fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other pollutants into the air. Tackling this remains a major challenge for our industry, which is reliant on the mobility of its people in order to best utilize their skills and experience in serving customers worldwide. We use a significant amount of electricity, natural gas, district heating and oil to light, heat and power our offices and data centers. Data centers are particularly energy-intensive due to the high level of IT equipment to be housed, powered and cooled. Our energy use has an impact in terms of the depletion of finite fossil fuels and associated GHG emissions. Energy security is also a growing area of concern in several of the countries where we operate. Much of the waste that the Group produces is generated by office consumables and packaging, as well as smaller amounts of food waste from on-site cafeterias or brought in by our people. The transportation, processing and disposal of this waste emits GHG emissions, with high levels of methane emissions associated with waste sent to landfill. Whilst waste emissions make up only a very small percentage of our total GHG emissions, waste management is also important in the context of mitigating against natural resource depletion and minimizing our material use. Given the nature of our services, our use of water is relatively low and has not been identified as a material environmental impact across the Group. However, concerns over water scarcity are growing in key countries where we operate such as India and Brazil and will continue to grow in future with the impacts of climate change. This makes it important that we play our part in measuring and controlling our water use. The manmade gases used in our air conditioning units are known as fluorinated gases (or F-gases) and whilst used in small quantities these have a high global warming potential. We measure and report on the F-gas leaked from air conditioning systems over time (or due to system faults).

F-gas (0.16% of our GHG remissions)

We measure and track our environmental impacts through our global carbon accounting program, with a central team managing the data processing and validation, to ensure consistent, high quality and accurate carbon data is available across the Group. We remain committed to continuous improvement, both in terms of data quality and in terms of providing meaningful insights to inform our program. This includes, for example, gradually increasing the coverage of our reporting to reach the high level of 99.0% coverage of our operations we are currently at (with the remaining 1.0% estimated), as well as adding new emission sources to our inventory. Our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions have been calculated following the methodology outlined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Reporting and Accounting Standard, using an

operational control approach. Our managed approach to environmental data collection and reporting is essential for meeting corporate reporting obligations, such as the French Grenelle{II legislation at Group level and the Carbon Reduction Commitment legislation for Capgemini{UK. It also enables us to participate and score well in various voluntary sustainability disclosures such as CDP and Vigeo-Eiris, as well as to meet information requests from our clients. We are recognized externally for the comprehensiveness of our approach to carbon accounting, with the Capgemini{Group was recognized by Bloomberg as being part of the “100%{Carbon{Club”: an elite group of companies which transparently report on 100% of their Scope{1 and Scope{2{GHG{emissions.
