Capgemini

Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.

OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.

EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?

PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

Carbon per FTE (full-time-equivalent employee) — the diagnostic measure for people-leveraged businesses where headcount, not capital, drives delivery. Captures the office, energy and travel footprint per person.

Capgemini reached its 2025 target to use 100% renewable electricity across all operations, a key milestone in its net zero by 2040 trajectory. The Group continues driving energy efficiency through its global Energy Command Center. Renewable electricity procurement is embedded in the firm's Scope 1 and 2 reduction strategy, which has delivered a 94% reduction from the 2019 baseline. The 2030 target requires -80% absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions and the 2040 target -90% absolute.

Capgemini has committed to retiring carbon credits for 100% of residual operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and is progressing toward 100% coverage of residual total emissions including Scope 3. In 2025, 100% of residual operational emissions were covered and 57.81% of residual total emissions had carbon credits retired. The firm frames this as 'climate and nature solutions' scaled commensurate with total GHG emissions, targeting full coverage by 2030 as part of its net zero by 2040 commitment.
