OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.4 Environmental Sustainability

Environmental Performance 3.4.2 The Paris Agreement on climate change has further underlined the need for businesses to take swift and significant action in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We focus on making long term reductions to our material environmental impacts, particularly energy use in our offices and data centers and our business travel emissions. Environmental initiatives are driven at a country level, enabling each Capgemini entity to concentrate on their key impacts, as well as adapt their approach to the local business environment and culture. Science-based targets 3.4.2.1 Our Group-wide commitment to improving our environmental performance is underpinned by a set of environmental targets, which are measured against a 2015{baseline. Our headline target focuses on carbon reduction, with a commitment to decoupling our development as a business from our greenhouse gas emissions. The number of people delivering our services is perhaps the most significant factor in determining our emissions and therefore our headline target focuses on reducing our total emissions per employee. This headline target is supported by additional reduction targets focused on our three most significant sources of emissions: office energy use, business travel and data center energy use. These targets provide a framework within which to drive agendas at a local level.

We were delighted to receive validation of our headline target from the Science-Based Target initiative (SBT) in{2017, underlining the credibility of our approach and becoming one of the first in our sector to achieve this validation. The SBT confirms that our long-term goals are consistent with the global effort to keep average temperature increase well below the 2°C threshold agreed at the COP{21 climate conference in Paris. Reducing Our Emissions 3.4.2.2 In{2017, Capgemini’s total greenhouse gas emissions for the entire Group were 499,756{tCO 2 e √, which represents a significant 6.0% reduction since last year (or 6.1% reduction since our base year of{2015) – particularly notable given our average headcount has increased by 5.9% last year. As a result, we are showing strong progress against our headline Group target of a 20% reduction by{2020, with a 15.2% reduction in emissions per head since{2015 (from 2.99{tonnes{CO 2 e per head to 2.54{tonnes of CO 2 e per head √{ (1) . Primarily this has been driven by a reduction in our energy-related emissions per head of 12.7% and a reduction of our travel emissions per head of 9.9%.

3.4.2.3 Improving energy efficiency Across the Group, total reported energy use reduced by{8.6% energy use (or 5.7% since{2015) and a 15.7% reduction in data in{2017 compared to the previous year, from 445,079{MWh to center energy use (22.7% since{2015). We also reduced total 406,713{MWh √ (which represents an 11.8% reduction compared emissions associated with our use of energy by 7.6% in{2017. to{2015). This reduction is made up of a 5.0% reduction in office

For the purposes of measuring GHG emissions per head, an average headcount over the year has been calculated for both{2016 and{2017, which represents a more (1) accurate calculation than using the December{2016 head count as compared to the December{2017 headcount. As a consequence, the headcount data here may vary slightly from the figures quoted in other sections of this report.
