The strong purpose, ethics, and values that guide our actions

- Capgemini’s core values are the guiding principles that shape our daily choices and actions. Alongside our ethics and our purpose, they form the foundation of our success and our contribution to an inclusive and sustainable future.

Technology’s transformative power should benefit all. Commitment to inclusion, equal opportunities, and digital skills for all is encapsulated in our purpose: “Unleashing human energy through technology for an inclusive and sustainable future.” Our ethical culture means doing the right thing, complying with legal frameworks, acting with honesty and integrity, training and guiding teams and leaders to be accountable, and showing them what ethical behaviors and leadership are, every day. It means questioning practices and processes, not assuming perfection, listening, challenging ourselves, and making the right decisions - an ongoing exercise in humility and responsibility.

Our seven values at the heart of our identity

Since the beginning, Capgemini’s founder Serge Kampf, and our leaders ever since, have believed that strong values and ethics are the building blocks for a sustainable business. Our values - Freedom, Trust, Team Spirit, Honesty, Boldness, Modesty, and Fun - guide us and remain the foundation for the decisions we make.

Ethics and human rights

Our ethics and human rights initiatives inspire open dialogue, reflection, and a commitment to doing what’s right:

  • Ethics guidelines: Our Code of Business Ethics outlines ethical principles and expected behaviors. Additional guidelines detail specific topics, such as conflicts of interest and our Code of Ethics for AI.
  • Human rights at Capgemini: To protect and promote respect for human rights, we deploy training, awareness initiatives, human rights assessments, and due diligence processes.
  • Training and communications: Ethics@Capgemini, an annual training program, drives know-how around tricky ethical situations.
  • Active listening, through EthicsPulse: All employees can share feedback on our values and culture. Insights from the Pulse survey contribute to the ethics action plan.
  • SpeakUp helpline: Our ethics helpline is a tool to listen, maintain confidentiality, and protect reporters from retaliation, enabling timely and fair actions. Web- and phone-based, it is hosted by an independent provider.

Recognized for our commitment to ethics

As one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies®, we regularly ask for employee feedback on our ethical culture, empowering our teams to enrich our understanding and drive continuous improvements.
