DIVERSITY POLICY FOR MANAGEMENT BODIES

The Group decided to implement a progressive increase in both female and international representation on the Group’s Executive Committee.

At December 31, 2023, the international representation on the Group Executive Committee is at 58%. The Executive Committee also shifted from female membership rate below 10% in 2016 to 28.9% in 2023. The Group’s mid-term objective is to reach at least 30% by 2025 and the long-term objective is to achieve the same percentage of women in the Executive Committee as in the Group’s headcount.

Capgemini also intends to increase female representation within Group executive leaders, representing 10% of positions with the greatest responsibility within the Group, and more widely in the Vice-President community by similarly setting annual objectives in this respect for the Group’s key managers. The Group has set a target of 30% of women in executive leadership positions by 2025.

These objectives are combined with the strengthening of the Group’s internal policies to ensure the implementation of regular and fair practices supporting this strategic direction, enabling diversified and non-discriminatory global representation at all levels of the organization.

Finally, the Board of Directors has set Executive Corporate Officers objectives to increase female representation in the Group in the variable part of their annual compensation.

This diagram illustrates the group's target of achieving 30% representation of women in executive leadership positions by 2025.
