4 CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY Rappel de titre 2

Building a positive future for all

“We are a group on the move, anticipating and adapting to profound changes in society and new expectations from citizens.”

Lastly, in a world in which digital technology is increasingly gaining ascendancy over human involvement, we also have a responsibility not toallowthemost vulnerablegroups tobecome “digitally excluded”. We are working with local organisations and non-profits to foster access to digital technology and services as well as to develop innovative digital solutions to help people in precarious circumstances and those with disabilities. Every year, more and more of our employees join forces with the Group to support community projects that put digital inclusion and the potential offered by new technologies to work for the most disadvantaged in society. Our corporate responsibility policy is rooted in our conviction that labour-related, environmental and social performance now goes hand in hand with financial performance, and that they are mutually reinforcing. This balance between financial imperatives and the new challenges of a more sustainable society is a new paradigm for the company, and should help us build a positive future for all. These founding principles make Sopra Steria a unique and different group. We are a group on the move, anticipating and adapting to profound changes in society and new expectations from citizens.

With over 46,000 employees in 25 countries and almost 11,000 new hires in 2019, we have a significant impact on employment and local development. Recruitment is a high priority to serve the Group’s plans as well as a key responsibility in terms of economic activity in the areas in which we operate. We have been working for several years to significantly reduce the environmental impact of our business and lead our value chain in a continuous improvement process. These efforts were recently recognised and validated afresh by CDP Climate Change when it included the Group in its A List – the highest level of recognition – for the third year running. In response to the environmental urgency and our stakeholders’ expectations, we decided to strengthen our environmental policy for the coming years: from 2019, we set ourselves even more ambitious greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and stepped up our action programmes to design more environmentally responsible services and solutions, notably in the area of digital sustainability. These new targets, aligned with the trajectory of limiting average global warming to 1.5°C, have been validated by SBTi  (1) and aim to achieve 85% lower per-employee greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 relative to 2015.
