PARTNERSHIP WITH UNICEF
While children are the least responsible for climate change, they are likely to bear the greatest burden in the future. As a responsible business committed to environmental sustainability, Capgemini takes a 360 approach to reducing our environmental footprint, assisting clients with sustainability, and empowering the next generation with green skills. That is why Capgemini is bringing its resources and expertise to support UNICEF’s Green Rising Initiative, which aims to mobilize millions of young people at a grassroots level to drive climate action. Capgemini will work with UNICEF’s Generation Unlimited, a leading global Public-Private-Youth Partnership, initially on two educational youth-led projects in this three-year partnership.

THOUGHT LEADER IN THE ENERGY SECTOR FOR 25 YEARS
A change in public perception along with sustained, realistic regulations will be necessary if we are to meet global climate goals. That is one key finding of the World Energy Markets Observatory (WEMO), our annual thought leadership and research report created in partnership with Vaasa ETT and Enerdata. The report also highlighted the power of consumerled conservation efforts, such as the EcoMode campaign in the UK that resulted in a remarkable 12% reduction in household energy consumption. Now in its 25th edition, the report tracks the development and transformation of electricity and gas markets across Europe, North America, Australia, Southeast Asia, India and China. It is prepared by a global team of over 100 experts and includes 40 articles, all backed by rigorous analysis.
SHARING OUR COMPANY’S SUCCESS WITH OUR EMPLOYEES
The 10th Capgemini employee share ownership plan (ESOP) was subscribed to by more than 50,000 employees in the 32 participating countries. Our annual ESOP is a key tool for enabling staff to share the value they help create, and for attracting and retaining talent. The capital increase represents 1.8% of the Group’s issued share capital and will contribute to maintaining Capgemini’s employee share ownership level at around 8% of capital at year end.
