OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.1 A renewed strategy: “Architects{of{Positive{Futures”

Responsible Procurement 3.1.5 Our supply chain supports both the delivery of our services to clients and our day-to-day business operations. In these activities we uphold our own exacting ethical principles and meet the standards of our clients. For more than ten{years we have had a purchase order mandatory policy and a central purchasing system (Global Purchasing System, GPS) which provides us with a clear view of our procurement activity. Capgemini’s Procurement function operates in accordance with the Blue{Book requirements, including Capgemini values, our Ethics{&{Compliance policies, and our social responsibility and sustainability policies. It complies with all relevant international and national laws and regulations. Capgemini has currently has more than 20,000{active suppliers and subcontractors active in its global system. We recognize that a supply chain spreading across continents may some pose level of risk, and that we must exercise vigilance in respect of human rights and the environment. Our commitment to supplier relationship is reflected in the comprehensive set of guidelines on purchasing ethics, the selection and management of suppliers. Purchasing principles In its purchasing activities, the Group considers environmental issues, social impacts, human rights, and the fight against corruption. The ten{key{principles of the United Nations Global Compact guide all of Capgemini’s activities. In other words, the Group is committed to ensuring that we only work with suppliers that demonstrate ethical practices and respect of human rights. Our procurement procedures are based on the following principles: treating suppliers fairly; X selecting suppliers based on value, performance, price and X sustainability; selecting suppliers in accordance with a justifiable and transparent process; preserving the confidentiality of supplier information; X managing supplier risk; X

ensuring supplier contracts have clauses relating to ethical X and sustainable procurement; maintaining relationships with suppliers based wholly on X 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. Our suppliers are expected to conduct their relationships with us and our clients, commercial partners and other suppliers on a fair and ethical basis and in compliance with our core principles of sustainability. These principles apply both to the products and services provided and to the suppliers’ activities. Contractors’ and suppliers’ staff is expected to work according to the same Corporate Social Responsibility criteria as our own employees; in tandem, we apply the same health and safety and diversity criteria to contractors and suppliers as to our own employees. Our Supplier Standards of Conduct In{2015, Capgemini developed and implemented its “Supplier Standards of Conduct (SSC) & Compliance Management Requirements” that structures all the above principles for our supply chain and also reminds that Capgemini operates to a “Purchase Order Mandatory” policy. Suppliers are requested to agree upon the principles that are set out in this document prior to working with us; we are defining the appropriate thresholds that will apply in{2018 to ensure effective risk management. Since{2016, we have put in place a group-wide supplier management process. This process further enforces the SSC{approach for new suppliers to the Capgemini Group and is implemented into our operating countries. “Capgemini Supplier Standards of Conduct & Compliance Management Requirements” document is available here: https://www.capgemini.com/resources/capgemini-supplier- standards-of-conduct-compliance-management-requirements The Supplier Standards of Conduct list our requirements regarding Ethics{&{Compliance, social responsibility, sustainability and our Purchase Order Mandatory policy. Furthermore, our suppliers have the possibility to notify us of any known or suspected improper behavior in their dealings with Capgemini or by Capgemini employees or agents through a dedicated channel.
