Pledge overview

As well as supporting its clients to reduce carbon emissions from their operations, Capgemini has publicly committed to reduce its own carbon emissions and retire carbon credits equivalent to the emissions from its own operations no later than 2025 and across its supply chain by 2030. This is part of Capgemini’s broader commitment to becoming a net zero business by 2040. This ambition is underpinned by SBTi targets aligned to the 1.5 degree climate pathway and action plans covering emissions from energy, travel, commuting, supply chain, waste and water. Capgemini is committed to transitioning to 100% renewable electricity by 2025 as part of RE100 and to reach 100% electric vehicles in its fleet by 2030 as part of EV100.

As part of its longstanding commitment to sustainability, Capgemini has already planted over 1.3 million trees, including over 1 million trees in India. Whilst the reduction of absolute emissions remains the priority, to become a net zero business Capgemini will retire carbon credits equivalent to its residual emissions with a portfolio of projects including a significant investment in nature-based solutions. Within the portfolio, Capgemini expects to plant at least 20 million trees over the next ten years. We are currently in the process of identifying the precise projects, including types and locations, that will deliver our commitment.
