Capgemini, one of the world’s foremost providers of consulting, technology and outsourcing services, a member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) since 2004, is pleased to announce that it has pledged its support to the “Caring for Climate” initiative. Launched in July 2007 at the UNGC Leaders Summit, the project is designed to advance business commitments on climate change in markets around the world.
Paul Hermelin, CEO of Capgemini, is one of 200 Chief Executive Officers world-wide, who have signed up as official supporters of the initiative to commit to the development of corporate strategies and practices to reduce carbon emissions, publicly disclose their emissions and work together with governments where the Group is located to develop climate friendly policies.
The UNGC brings business together with Governments, large companies, United Nations agencies, labor and civil society to advance 10 universal principles notably in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.
“Our support of this initiative is another important step in our commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. Moreover, it is very much in line with the actions we have begun in recent years to minimize our environmental impact and to save energy expenditure in the workplace”, says Paul Hermelin.
Capgemini has been one of the few companies in its sector to disclose as much of its carbon footprint as can be calculated in both the annual report and as part of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)
