ESG achievements
- Capgemini’s ESG policy is deeply embedded within our Group strategy. It guides our decision-making, shapes the development of our solutions and services, and informs our relationships with all stakeholders. We go beyond simple compliance with applicable regulations, actively incorporating national and international best practices and recommendations into our approach. As a responsible leader, we believe that technology and innovation should open opportunities for all. We’re committed to making a positive impact across our ecosystem and we aspire to be a benchmark for our contribution to society.
Three years after having published our first ESG policy (2021-2024), we are proud to have achieved clear milestones on addressing climate change, upskilling, inclusion, equal opportunities, digital skills for all, responsible business practices, as well as data protection and cybersecurity, to name but a few. These achievements reflect our ability to leverage our expertise and collaborative approach in addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Here are a few highlights of our ESG achievements in 2024.
Capgemini has a long-term commitment to environmental sustainability-managing and reducing our own environmental impacts, whilst also helping clients address their sustainability challenges. We have a science-based validated target to become net zero by 2040, reducing our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 90% (vs 2019). We also have near-term reduction targets for our Scopes 1, 2, and major Scope 3 impacts, including business travel, commuting and purchased goods and services. In 2024, 98% of our electricity consumption came from renewable sources, up from 28% in 2019, accelerating our commitment as an RE100 member to reach 100% renewable electricity by 2025. In addition, the scope of our Energy Command Center(1) was expanded to 23 campuses and 66 buildings in India, allowing for enhanced management of energy consumption. We focus on reducing business travel emissions through a low-carbon digital delivery model, transitioning to a 100% electric vehicle fleet by 2030, and minimizing the impacts of employee commuting through remote work enablement and sustainable mobility support options. This strategy has helped us to reduce our business travel emissions by 51% (vs 2019) and our commuting emissions by 35% (vs 2019).
In addition to decarbonizing our business, we are also committed to scaling up our investment in climate and nature solutions, through a portfolio of projects that will generate high-quality carbon credits (as defined by independent standards) that deliver social and environmental co-benefits.
