Capgemini recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as a 2017 World’s Most Ethical Company®

Recognition honors those companies who lead with integrity and align principle with action.

PARIS, 13-Mar-2017 — /EuropaWire/ — Capgemini, a global leader in consulting, technology and outsourcing services, has again been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute, the global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, as a 2017 World’s Most Ethical Company®.

Capgemini has achieved this global recognition consecutively for the last five years––one of only two in the consulting industry to do so, underscoring its commitment to maintaining high standards of ethics and corporate integrity across the Group and throughout its global business practices.

Philippe Christelle, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer (CECO) at the Capgemini Group said: “We are delighted to be acknowledged by Ethisphere as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for the fifth year running. For Capgemini, as we enter our 50th Anniversary year, this is an important recognition of our strong and sustainable ethical culture that is inherent across the Group. Capgemini’s culture is a tangible differentiator for all our stakeholders: from clients and employees through to shareholders and the community groups with which we interact on a daily basis around the world.”

Timothy Erblich, Chief Executive Officer at Ethisphere said: “It is our mission to define and advance the standards of ethical business practices that fuel corporate character, marketplace trust and business success. The World’s Most Ethical Companies recognition is first and foremost a measurement exercise with the honor being reserved for those who excel. We would like to congratulate Capgemini for consecutively maintaining its position as a World’s Most Ethical Company for the last five years. It has set a high benchmark for the industry, by evolving with the changing business environment while remaining steadfast in its commitment to corporate ethics and compliance.”

This is the eleventh year that Ethisphere has honored those companies who recognize their role in society to influence and drive positive change, consider the impact of their actions on their employees, investors, customers and other key stakeholders, and use their values and culture as an underpinning to the decisions they make every day.

Methodology & Scoring
The World’s Most Ethical Company assessment is based upon the Ethisphere Institute’s Ethics Quotient®(EQ) framework which offers a quantitative way to assess a company’s performance in an objective, consistent and standardized way. The information collected provides a comprehensive sampling of definitive criteria of core competencies, rather than all aspects of corporate governance, risk, sustainability, compliance and ethics.

Scores are generated in five key categories: ethics and compliance program (35%), corporate citizenship and responsibility (20%), culture of ethics (20%), governance (15%) and leadership, innovation and reputation (10%) and provided to all companies who participate in the process.
