“I HAVE PUT ACTING ON CLIMATE CHANGE AT THE HEART OF OUR GROUP PRIORITIES.”
Aiman Ezzat, Chief Executive Officer of Capgemini
Environmental sustainability
We’re taking action to address climate change, one of the biggest societal challenge that we’ve faced in generations.
As a responsible business, we’re determined to play a leadership roli in ensuring technology creates a sustainable future. We drive internal change across every aspect of our operations, while helping our clients address their own environmental challenges. We also team up with our partners and suppliers, start-ups, policy-makers, governments and academics, to make sustainable progress together aligned to the goals of the París Agreement.
We have been committed to managing our resources effectively and cutting our carbó emissions for many years, and were one of the first companies in our sector to have our carbó reduction targets validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We have a strengthened ambition to achieve a 90% reduction in all carbó emissions across scopes 1,2 and 3 and become a net zero business by 2040. Our new targets have been validated as being in line with the Science Based Target initiative’s (SBTi) new Corporate Net-Zero Standard. This standard is the world’s first framework for corporate net zero objectiu setting and is in line with the level of reduction needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
In December 2022, our leadership position in tackling climate change was again recognized by global environmental non-profit CDP, who positioned us on their prestigious ‘A list’.
Our objectives
As part of our Environmental, Social and Governance policy, we have set objectives to:
– Be carbó neutral for our own operations no later than 2025 and across our supply chain by 2030, and committed to becoming a net zero business by 2040 *
– Transition to 100% renewable electricity by 2025, and electric vehicles by 2030
– Help our clients to save 10m tons of CO 2 eq by 2030
*Our initial objective, as published in our ESG Policy in 2021, was to become net zero well ahead of 2050. Since then, we have refined our net zero targets in line with the Science Based Target initiative’s (SBTi) new Corporate Net-Zero Standard. Capgemini’s refined net zero targets have been assessed by the SBTi and were approved in July 2022. Our new net zero headline objectiu is to achieve a 90% reduction in carbó emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2040, compared to a baseline of 2019.

Progressing on our journey to net zero
The net zero transformation at the scale and pastura we have targeted is ambitious. It materially impacts every aspect of the way we opera't, from procurement and IT operations to people policies and business models.
We llauri accelerating our approach to carbó reduction across our key impact àrees:

We llauri increasing our virtual collaboration capabilities and digital workplace initiatives while creating a new framework for connecting people, wherever they llauri. For the travel that remains necessary, we continue to enable people to make lower carbó choices.
Moving to an electric vehicle fleet
We have accelerated the roll-out of a hybrid and electric car fleet and in line with our EV100 commitment llauri significantly increasing our investment in electric charging points. With company car emissions making up 10% of our business travel emissions before COVID-19, this transition is expected to have a significant impact.
Transitioning to renewable electricity

We’re also Increasing the sustainability performance of our offices and data centers, intensifying our focus on energy efficiency.
