The Board of Directors regularly assesses its composition and the various areas of expertise and experience contributed by each of its members. It also regularly identifies the direction to be taken to ensure the best possible balance with regards to international development and the diversity of the Group’s employees, changes in its shareholding base, the various challenges facing Capgemini, including sustainability issues, as well as the Group’s medium-term strategic direction. It ensures that the Board retains a range of experience, expertise, and nationalities, and respects gender balance, while ensuring the commitment of all Directors to the Group’s fundamental values. To this end, the work of the Ethics & Governance Committee, chaired by the Lead Independent Director, is invaluable.
