Values

Our Seven Values

Seven shared values have been at the heart of Capgemini since our formation. These values influence the way we meet client needs while respecting the regulatory requirements of each country in which we operate, and the way we promote ethically sound practices within Capgemini and in our partnerships.

HONESTY, 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. 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.

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 a Group of over 200,000 people of around 120 different nationalities.

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, loosening up, 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.

Sustainability

At Capgemini, we are proud to be taking strong steps to contribute to a Positive Planet. Our environmental sustainability strategy is all about reducing our own environmental impacts against ambitious targets, building business resilience against climate change and supporting our clients with their sustainability challenges. We are committed to cutting our carbon emissions and were one of the first companies in our sector to have our carbon reduction target validated by the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi). Our headline target is to reduce our carbon footprint by 20% per employee by 2020 and 30% by 2030.

Between 2015, when we first established our targets and set our baseline, and the end of 2018, we made strong progress. We have reduced our overall carbon emissions per employee by 18.5%. In fact, our performance has contributed to the global Group accomplishing its 2020 sustainability goal 2 years ahead of schedule.

Our carbon footprint in North America is driven primarily by emissions from business travel, which comprises eighty percent or our overall emissions. To tackle this challenge, we focused on partnering with our business leaders to reduce the amount of traveling necessary to perform the work we do for our clients. Our business has changed in numerous ways over the last few years. Strong revenue growth in North America has enabled us to grow our workforce, while also investing in virtual collaboration technologies and great facilities that enable our workforce to excel at working virtually. Our focus on customer-centricity has led to the establishment of large, locally based accounts. And last but not least, our finance leaders have driven a focus on cost sensitivity and higher margins. This work has enabled us to reduce our emissions from business travel by over 15% per employee since 2015. Meeting our goals requires us to practice discipline and further reduce our non-billable travel. We must also look to the future and work to position ourselves as true champions of digital by focusing on effectively delivering projects with a distributed, remote project team.

In addition to business travel, we have reduced our energy consumption per employee in our offices by 16.5%, despite continuing expansion into further sites and markets. It’s taken a great amount of effort by our site administrators and Corporate Real Estate leaders, as well as all our employees, to establish and maintain our ISO 14001-certified Environmental Management system, which has been a key tool in improving our energy efficiency and waste management processes. We established environmental criteria for the selection of new facilities, and work with our landlords to make sure we receive the highest possible value from our leases. We implemented lighting schedules and automatic on-off switches for our lights wherever possible and post switch-off messaging everywhere else.

Finally, over the past two years, we’ve been making a concerted effort to engage with our employees on sustainability. We launched our Positive Planet program and began a quarterly webinar series to spread the message about our accomplishments, challenges, and other topics related to business, technology, and the environment. We also hosted the first ever Green Futures Hackathon, in partnership with our Millennial Innovation Council (MIC) and Community Action, Responsibility and Environmental Sustainability (CARES) Employee Resources Groups. In the coming years, we’ll continue to engage more of our employee in our efforts and leverage their passion for sustainability help meet our goals.

We as a company continue to strive for creating a more positive planet for ourselves and the clients and communities we serve.
