Seven{values at the heart of{the{Group 1.1.3 In{1967, Serge Kampf was amongst the very first to understand the added value a services company would bring to a world where the IT{market had barely emerged. He created Sogeti, which became Cap Gemini Sogeti, then Capgemini Ernst{&{Young, and finally Capgemini, based on several major principles that continue to guide us in everything we do today: first and foremost, an entrepreneurial spirit, followed by a passion for clients, an obsession with drawing out the best from people, a commitment to being ethically irreproachable at all times, and extremely high expectations with regards to performance. From the very beginning, he understood that our industry is based on the contribution of both men and women who work hand-in-hand and share common values that cannot be compromised upon. Seven{values permeate Capgemini’s corporate fabric, from the time of their inception by our founder. These values inspire and shape our corporate culture and professional conduct. They motivate us as a Group and as individuals. Intangible by nature, they lie at the heart of all our actions as an ethical and responsible company. They form the basis of Capgemini’s reputation. Honesty signifies loyalty, integrity, uprightness, a complete refusal to use any underhanded method to help win business or gain any kind of advantage. Neither growth nor profit nor independence have any real worth unless they are won through complete honesty and probity. And everyone in the Group knows that any lack of openness and integrity in our business dealings will be penalized at once. Boldness , which implies a flair for entrepreneurship and a desire to take considered risks and show commitment (naturally linked to a firm determination to uphold one’s commitments). This is the very soul of competitiveness: firmness in making decisions or in forcing their implementation, an acceptance periodically to challenge one’s orientations and the status quo . This boldness also needs to be combined with a certain level of prudence and a particular clear-sightedness, without which a bold manager is, in reality, merely dangerously reckless. New brand and visual identity To celebrate and build on its 50-year{heritage, Capgemini unveiled a new brand and visual identity in October{2017. This new identity reflects the unique character and strengths of the Group: dynamism, precision, and people. The new logo contains a wordmark that has been handcrafted in a script directly inspired by Group founder Serge Kampf. Combined with the redesigned spade symbol, this logo can be seen as a unique and human company signature, encapsulating the belief that technology is nothing without the people behind

Trust , meaning the willingness to empower both individuals and teams; to have decisions made as close as possible to the point where they will be put into practice. Trust also means giving priority, within the Company, to real openness toward other people and the widest possible sharing of ideas and information. Freedom , which means independence in thought, judgment and deeds, and entrepreneurial spirit, creativity. It also means tolerance, respect for others, for different cultures and customs: an essential quality in an international group. Fun means feeling good about being part of the Company or one’s team, feeling proud of what one does, feeling a sense of accomplishment in the search for better quality and greater efficiency, feeling part of a challenging project. Modesty , that is simplicity, the very opposite of affectation, pretension, pomposity, arrogance and boastfulness. Simplicity does not imply naivety (“simple does not mean simpleton!”); it is more about being discreet, showing natural modesty, common sense, being attentive to others and taking the trouble to be understood by them. It is about being frank in work relationships, having a relaxed attitude, having a sense of humor. Team spirit , meaning solidarity, friendship, fidelity, generosity, fairness in sharing the benefits of collective work; accepting responsibilities and an instinctive willingness to support common efforts when the storm is raging. These values are embodied in Capgemini’s brand promise: “People matter, results count”. We believe that our clients’ success does not depend on technology only, but also on the women and men who give that technology life and who make all the difference. Our approach thus enables companies and organizations to respond faster to market trends, to adapt and to improve their performance. Truly multicultural, Capgemini works on the basis of its trademark “Collaborative Business Experience TM ”, which gives priority to the ability to listen, to be flexible, agile and creative — essential qualities to ensure the success of our clients. it. The iconic Capgemini spade is now fluid and dynamic, reflecting the evolving technology landscape and an ability to constantly adapt with the precision and accuracy that are so fundamental to successful client delivery. Finally, the color palette is more vibrant and invigorating. The darker blue represents the depth of experience and the dependability of people, while the lighter blue represents the new world:

energetic, inspiring, and free-thinking.
