Capgemini has a long-term commitment to environmental sustainability with a strategy that focuses on managing and reducing our own environmental impacts, while also using our business expertise to help clients address their own sustainability challenges.

The Group focuses on climate action and our commitment to become a Net Zero business by 2040. This commitment is underpinned by a target to reduce our Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040, compared to a baseline of 2019. To ensure we make rapid progress, we have also set science-based targets for 2030 focused on driving a reduction in Scope 1, 2, and all our major Scope 3 impacts, including business travel, commuting and purchased goods and services emissions.

Our Net Zero ambition builds on strong progress over the last decade in decarbonizing our business. Hence, we have set additional supporting targets to ensure we are powered by 100% renewable electricity from 2025 onwards and have a fully electric company car fleet from 2030 onwards.

Alongside our focus on renewable energy, we are improving the energy efficiency of our operations. The Energy Command Center (ECC) launched in 2022 has helped drive a significant reduction in energy consumption across our main campuses in India. It is a unique initiative to reduce our own emissions, using smart technology to optimize the use of resources and to monitor asset health.

While rapid and ambitious decarbonization aligned to the SBTi’s Corporate Net Zero Standard must be at the heart of our climate commitment, we recognize that the voluntary carbon market offers a way to scale up the needed climate finance and tackle the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today. Our carbon credit program will support a mix of activities that both avoid new greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere and that remove them. Our focus is on both nature-based and technological solutions.

A robust governance structure which includes key representation from across the business has enabled us to turn our ambition into action, embedding climate action into every level of our organization. Executive level governance is provided by Net Zero Board which comprises our Group CEO and other members of the Group’s Executive Board and Committee. Annual targets are cascaded down to a country and function level to ensure climate action across the entire Group.
