General organization of the Group 2.3

Operational structure 2.3.1 The operational structure of the Group combines the key principles that have guided its development since its creation: the first{principle, decentralization of the operating conduct X of business, seeks to ensure that operating managers act as entrepreneurs, committing to a budget and personal and collective objectives, the attainment of which decides their variable compensation; the second{principle is the collective ambition to lead the X markets in which the Group operates and to develop internationally to serve its clients and partners. The Company must therefore set operating managers ambitious commercial and financial performance objectives and provide them with the necessary means to react rapidly to market requirements, to provide consistent responses to changes in demand and to implement the new opportunities offered by particularly rapid and abundant technological innovation; the third{principle is financial performance, which enables X external growth and development, ensuring the independence of the Group. The Group’s organizational structure combining these principles was implemented from January{1, 2016. It is in effect at the date of publication of this Registration Document, although an approach launched by the Group in October{2017 aims to better respond to client needs, irrespective of the offerings presented. The current structure comprises Basic Business Units (BUs) of a size that allows their managers to remain in close contact with their clients and technology partners, to know their employees well and to tightly manage the projects they entrust to them. These basic units are grouped by business covering a given market corresponding to either a geographic area or a sector or offering, known as “Strategic Businesses Units”, “domains” or “practices”. This grouping by business ensures compliance with specific business models, the sharing of experience and the industrialization of distributed delivery processes and methods responding efficiently and consistently to the demands of international clients. There are currently eight Strategic Business Units (SBUs): five{global Strategic Business Units: X Consulting Services, under the Capgemini Consulting ❚ tradename, comprising strategy and Digital transformation consulting expertise and innovation creative design expertise also provided by the IDEAN and F{212{entities, Cloud Infrastructure Services, i.e. , the design, installation ❚ and maintenance of client IT infrastructures, whether based on own tools (data{center) or the use of public or partially privatized capacities (Cloud),

These Strategic Business Units operate through the legal entities comprising the Group and present in around 40{countries, which are in turn grouped into eight{geographic areas{ (2) , useful for reporting purposes and comparing performance year-on-year: North America; X the United Kingdom and Ireland; X France; X the rest of Europe, comprising Germany and Central European countries, Benelux, Nordic countries and Southern Europe; and finally the Asia-Pacific and Latin America (LatAm) region. X This organization by business and geographic area is accompanied by a light transversal structure carrying specific offerings. For example, in Digital transformation, three{offerings are proposed focusing on the customer relationship, Big Data and data analytics, respectively, while in industrial Digital, offerings focus on the Digital Customer Experience, Insights & Data and Digital Manufacturing. An identical approach was adopted to stimulate Group efforts in Cloud and IT security services.
