OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.4 Environmental Sustainability

Our energy reduction has been driven by a broad range of energy initiatives from around the Group, focused on six{key areas:

Energy Focus Areas

◗ Smart Meters & Demand Logic ◗ Energy audits ◗ Fuel leak detection sensors ◗ Facility level reduction targets 1. MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT

3

◗ Reducing under-utilised space ◗ Moving to LEED or BREEAM FHUWLƬHG EXLOGLQJV 6. SPACE UTILISATION

◗ Building Management Systems ◗ Passive Infrared Sensors ◗ Timers & thermostats 2. BUILDING CONTROLS

◗ Energy Policy ◗ 6ZLWFK Rƪ FDPSDLJQV ◗ Computer-based training 5. POLICY AND ENGAGEMENT

◗ LED lighting ◗ +LJKO\ HƯFLHQW FKLOOHUV ◗ UPS technology 3. ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY

◗ Solar PV installation ◗ Solar thermal installation ◗ Renewable energy purchasing 4. RENEWABLE ENERGY

including LED lighting installations, optimization of our Building Management Systems, and upgrading to more efficient heating, ventilation and cooling systems have led to a total energy saving of around 1.3{million kWh per year and an associated cost saving of over €110,000; in the Netherlands we have achieved a 44% reduction in X energy use (made up of a 50% reduction in data center energy use and a 29% reduction in office energy use. This has been driven in part by the closure of one of our major offices and a significant data center during{2017; in North America, overall energy use has increased by 4.3%, X which largely reflects an increase in our data center energy use of around 8.8%. By contrast, our office energy use has reduced by around 4%, driven largely by improved space optimization including the closure of six{sites, the remodeling of three{others (Atlanta, Toronto, Burbank) and a significant focus on improving the energy efficiency of lighting, appliances and infrastructure at our Manhattan office; in France, we have been progressing a space optimization X program, with the closure of 16{offices and four data centers reducing our floor area and our total energy use. Recent energy audits have helped identify several energy efficiency enhancements and improvements to internal lighting have been made, including the installation of LED lighting and passive infrared sensors.

Key achievements this year at a country level include: despite an 9.1% headcount increase, Capgemini India achieved a 1.5% reduction in energy use. Key energy initiatives implemented this year include the installation of state-of-the-art chillers which use water cooling to reduce energy use at our Hyderabad and Pune campuses, the continued roll out of LED lighting across our Indian offices and a program to replace old uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) systems with modular installations which can reduce energy use by as much as 50%. We have also continued the deployment of large scale solar photovoltaic installations at our Mumbai, Pune and Chennai campuses. In total, 3,705{solar panels have been installed, including on the roof and along pedestrian walkways, leading to a generation capacity of around 2.8{million kWh of solar energy per year; we reduced total reported energy use by around 23% in the X UK and total energy emissions by 34%. More than two thirds of this reduction is due to an ongoing data center optimization strategy, and reflects the closure of one of our older, less efficient data centers in{2016 followed by the partial closure of another in{2017. The refurbishment and upgrade of one of our key offices at Telford has enabled us to utilize space more efficiently in this location, and thereby close two{other offices in the same area with low utilization. In addition, energy efficiency initiatives across our estate
