offices in France has been estimated based on a conversion factor derived from 2014 actual data, with the data adjusted to take account of the floor area of each facility. Including other cases when actual data was not available, France’s estimated data accounts for approximately 11.1% of total Group energy use, 10.8% of total office energy use and 0.4% of total GHG emissions. Travel: Emission factors as produced by the Carbon Neutral X Company have been used to calculate the emissions associated with hotel nights in all countries. Travel: In the Netherlands and Belgium, emissions data X associated with car travel include personal car use as well as business mileage as it cannot be separated. Travel: New rail and taxi expenses data for India was available X for the first time in{2017. Since corresponding data for 2015 & 2016 was not available, it was estimated proportionately for Capgemini India for those years. Travel: Guest house data for India was reported for all X employee stays in guest houses for the first time in 2017. Since corresponding data for 2015 & 2016 was not available, it was estimated based on 2017{data. As no emission factors for guest houses are currently available, we completed an analysis of energy emissions of one guest house and derived a conversion factor of 1 guest house room night ={0.5{hotel room night. Where specific data related to energy, business travel, waste X and water was not available, it has been estimated based on appropriate methods as described at the beginning of this section. Data for 2015 and 2016 has also been restated in the case of significant improvements being identified to the data, correction of errors or estimated data being replaced with actual data Table key: N/A ={Not Applicable where data sources are not X applicable. identify the top climate hazards posed to each of our operating countries. The model analyzes six{main hazards: extreme weather, extreme temperatures, changing weather patterns, water stress, rising sea levels and loss of natural capital. This information is then used to create a model which maps likely impacts and assesses the outcomes of these impacts for our business. We believe our business will experience the outcomes of these impacts in six{areas: project delivery; X mobility; X

Notes Data identified in these tables by a √ mark has been reviewed X by KPMG with a reasonable level of assurance. Data included in the tables is for the reporting period X January{to December{2017 (unless otherwise indicated). “Scope” is a reporting term from Greenhouse Gas Protocol, X which is used in carbon accounting to categorize emissions reported according to the level of control a company has over an emissions source. All emission sources: With the exception of electricity and X hotel nights (mentioned below), emissions have been calculated using the emission factors recommended by DEFRA: https://www.gov.uk/measuring-and-reporting-environmental- impacts-guidance-for-businesses. Energy: Electricity emissions have been calculated in line with X the location-based approach. “Regional” electricity emission factors for{UK (DEFRA), the{US (eGrid), Canada (NIR 2015) and Australia (NGA 2015) are used. For all other countries, an emission factor from International Energy Agency (IEA) has been applied to calculate Scope{2 emissions from purchased electricity. Energy: Given the nature of our business, many of Capgemini’s X offices have large server rooms. These are not considered to be data centers but their presence should be taken into consideration when comparing the energy usage of our offices against those in other sectors. Energy: “T&D losses” refers to electricity transmission and distribution grid losses i.e . the energy loss that occurs in getting the electricity from the power plant to our facilities. Energy: “Other Energy Sources” includes the use of natural X gas, diesel or gas oil, LPG, district heating and cooling in our offices and data centers. Energy: Due to the continued absence of reliable data from the energy supplier, 80% of electricity consumption for all Climate resilience 3.4.3 Climate change impacts and global temperature increases are not only a future inevitability, they are already being experienced. As well as minimizing our own contribution to climate change and working with clients to enable carbon reductions, we need to ensure we have the capability to adapt to climate change. This means, for example, ensuring business continuity and supporting the wellbeing of our people in the face of extreme weather events. Over the last 18{months, we been developing and deploying a Group-wide Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) approach to further integrate climate change risk into our corporate risk management. This will ensure the risks of climate change are planned for and we remain resilient in a changing global climate. The CCRA assesses the vulnerability to climate change of our assets, workplace locations, employees and the national infrastructures we rely upon. We have undertaken significant analysis of scientific, peer reviewed research and models to
