comprehensive set of guidelines on purchasing ethics, on the
selection and management of suppliers.
Purchasing principles
In our purchasing activities, the Group takes into account
environmental issues, social impacts, human rights, and the fight
against corruption. The ten key principles of the United Nations
Global Compact guide Capgemini’s activities throughout our
business. In other words, the Group is committed to ensuring that
we only work with suppliers with ethical practices and which
respect human rights.
Our procurement procedures are based on the following
principles:
treating suppliers fairly;
◗
selecting suppliers based on value, performance, price and
◗
sustainability;
selecting suppliers in accordance with a justifiable and
transparent process;
preserving the confidentiality of supplier information;
◗
managing supplier risk;
◗
ensuring supplier contracts have clauses relating to ethical and
sustainable procurement;
maintaining relationships with suppliers based wholly on
◗
competition.
Supplier diversity and equal opportunity is encouraged: we aim to
allow qualified small and very small businesses the opportunity to
receive a share of the market. Our “eco-system” approach with
major clients aims to foster this and level the entry barrier where
practical.
