LEADING Sustainability

The time for talk is over: We must move from pledges to real action.

The challenges of meeting net zero and achieving the sustainability of our planet are becoming more intense and urgent.

The impact of climate change, shrinking biodiversity, and our inability to live within our planetary boundaries, are all factors that make it increasingly clear that it is time to accelerate our thinking, but more importantly our actions, and move rapidly towards full, timely, inclusive, and at-scale action on the ground.

From September 17^th 2023, Capgemini is once again present at Climate Week NYC, one of the largest annual climate event gatherings in the world. We are involved in several initiatives highlighting the journey from business to planet, including sponsoring Climate Group’s RE100 Award, taking part in World Climate Foundation’s Energy Transition & Biodiversity summits as well as hosting our own event on Monday September 18^th. Find out more below.

On this page, we also share our insights, exploring the broad range of sustainability challenges and potential solutions, including state-of-the-art climate tech, the importance of ESG data, energy for the future, new business models, as well as our innovation roundtables – probing ideas to future-proof an industry.

Throughout, we are focused on ambitious but realistic solutions that leverage the most appropriate climate tech. We are ready to advise, shape, and help organizations to take that leap forward with practical and concrete steps, to ensure that we get the future we all want.

The future starts now.

Sustainability for our future

Biodiversity: Preserving the fabric of life

We examine the importance of protecting biodiversity and its significance to organizations. Biodiversity encompasses the entire variety of life on Earth. It is necessary for the planet to function and provides the conditions for human existence. Damage to biodiversity, called biodiversity loss, threatens this delicate balance by stripping away the protection that healthy ecosystems provide. To address this issue, organizations must take strategic action to reduce their impact on the natural world.Based on the findings of our research, it is clear that current efforts aimed at biodiversity preservation and restoration are insufficient. Only 24% of respondents indicate that their organization has a biodiversity strategy, and it is estimated that the financing gap for biodiversity exceeds $700 billion annually.

Rethinking sustainability

How can technology be a key lever in the response to the twin major issues that we face today – the climate crisis and the threat to biodiversity?

A world in balance

We explore companies’ progress toward sustainability and look at how it can be accelerated.

Climate tech and data: Key enablers

Data for net zero

The growing urgency around climate change has placed it at the forefront of global issues. To avoid its worst impacts, global greenhouse gas emissions must be halved by 2030 and lowered to net zero by 2050.In this Capgemini Research Institute report, we look at why data is key to bridging the gap between net zero ambition and action.

Sustainable IT

Are organizations focusing enough on sustainable IT – the backbone of a greener future?

Reflect, rethink, reconsider: Why food waste is everybody's problem

Being a significant emitter of greenhouse gases, food loss continues to be a major problem across the lifecycle of food.In our Capgemini Research Institute report, we explored the issue of food waste in depth to understand its causes as well as potential solutions from the perspective of both organizations and consumers. To this end, we conducted a detailed survey of 10,000 consumers and 1,000 large organizations in the food manufacturing and food retail space and interviewed experts from academia, organizational supply chains, and startups.
