OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.4 Environmental Sustainability

Our CCRA also focuses on ensuring employee safety when extreme weather events occur and providing sufficient support to those whose families and homes may be affected by them. Our commitment to managing our climate risk effectively continues to be recognized externally. In{2017, we received a score of A- in the CDP Climate Change disclosure, placing us in the top{22% of companies disclosing to CDP.

In order to ensure business continuity and build resilience against the increasing likelihood of adverse climatic events, we are also reviewing current policies and processes in place that mitigate the impacts of these events. For any gaps identified, improvements are suggested to ensure that we are able to continue to deliver high quality services to our clients, even when faced with the more extreme impacts of climate change. Engagement 3.4.4 The biggest environmental impact we can have as a company is not from our own operations but through the solutions we deliver to our clients and through the influence we have over our people and our suppliers. Our engagement stream is in part about creating a coherent communications approach to encourage and inspire our people to take action on environmental issues. We set consistent standards for our suppliers on a range of environmental, ethical and social criteria (see{3.1.5 Responsible Procurement for further details) and we collaborate closely with our clients to enable us to achieve shared sustainability aspirations. Engaging our people 3.4.4.1 Whilst most activity is driven at a country level, we run an annual Group-wide campaign during World Environment Week, with global communications supported by events and communications at a local level. In{2017, we themed our communications around the four elements earth, air, water and fire, publishing daily articles on our intranet site outlining Capgemini’s sustainability aspirations, and individual actions employees can take to reduce their own impact. 2017{also saw us hold our first ever “Global Carbon Hackathon”, which brought together over 200{talented Capgemini developers, data scientists and sustainability enthusiasts from across 11{countries. Teams were given access to millions of data points about Capgemini’s carbon footprint and had two{weeks to come up with creative new ways to visualize this data or ideas for new applications that would use the data to inspire and drive change. The quality of the submissions was so high that 2018 will see us take forward several of the best ideas to be deployed, with one winning team tasked with developing their solution and harnessing the input and expertise of other participating teams. Examples of communication, awareness and training provided at a local level include during: Capgemini{France screened the films “Demain” & “Before the X Flood” in more than ten{offices to raise awareness of the topic of climate change. 25,000{LED lights were also distributed to employees to encourage people to make the change to more energy efficient lighting at home. Capgemini{France also initiated several “bee{clubs” to increase involvement in Capgemini’s bee hive biodiversity program; Capgemini{Belgium ran a social media campaign encouraging X colleagues to share their sustainability pictures and stories (cycling to work, carpooling, taking the stairs and so on). This inspired our Young Talent Community to run their own sustainability event focused on sharing ideas;

Capgemini{North America held two webinars focussed on the X topics of Smart Cities and Water and recorded three sustainability podcasts; Capgemini{UK relaunched its external website and intranet X site under the new “Positive Planet” campaign, with videos, blogs, webinars and events to celebrate and raise awareness of the UK sustainability program; Capgemini{Germany ran several engaging campaigns to X encourage employees to think about their impacts whilst in the office, including a poster campaign around reducing paper use and a sticker campaign to encourage switching off the lights; at our Serge Kampf Les Fontaines learning campus we ran a X tree-planting campaign in partnership with the Mytree{association. This involved planting 50{fruit trees at the campus, reforesting 52{hectares in the Amazon (equivalent to the size of the campus) and encouraging our clients to take similar action; Capgemini{France and Capgemini{UK both developed new X sustainability computer-based training courses during{2017. Engaging our clients 3.4.4.2 The biggest environmental impact we can have as a company is through the solutions we deliver to our clients. We are committed to actively supporting our clients to address their own sustainability challenges and believe there are huge opportunities for our business in this area. Many of our technology solutions already have significant environmental benefits, helping our clients improve efficiency or reduce resource consumption, and we are identifying ways in which these benefits can be further leveraged. We are working to build low carbon innovation into new and existing client service offers. As a provider of IT{services and consulting, we have the opportunity to collaborate with clients to help reduce their carbon footprint and wider sustainability impacts through the advice that we offer and the solutions that we design and deliver. Capgemini also recognizes that operational efficiency is a key driver in ensuring longevity for our clients, a driver that is often complemented by reduced carbon emissions. Digital transformation brings many opportunities to develop new business services while improving the time to market. We are using and mastering Internet of Things, Cloud, Big{Data, Mobility, Automation and Artificial Intelligence tools to help our clients create innovative services. Sustainability must be a key factor of this transformation as{IT has the potential to be both the cause and the solution for sustainability issues; as such, planetary limits and net impacts must be considered when designing and implementing IT{solutions. Designing lean architectures, that are respectful of the environment, optimizing energy consumption and computer resources, data transmission, data center hosting, quality coding and the Internet of Valuable Things is our way to promote an innovative and sustainable Digital transformation.
