MONTREAL, Quebec and PARIS, France, March 6,
2025 /CNW/ - CGI (TSX: GIB.A) (NYSE: GIB), one
of the largest independent IT and business consulting services
firms in the world, announces that it has been awarded the
Sustainable IT label - Level 2 (Numérique Responsable - NR),
covering its operations in France
as well as Luxembourg,
Morocco, Romania and Switzerland. This certification is a testament
to the company's commitment to sustainable digital models.
CGI, which was awarded the Level 1 label in 2022, continues
to make progress in its continuous improvement approach to digital
responsibility, becoming the first digital services company with
over 5,000 employees to be awarded the Level 2 label.
The Sustainable IT label is based on a set of guidelines
developed by the Institut du Numérique Responsable, a think
tank whose mission is to raise awareness of the challenges of
responsible digital business, in partnership with the French
Ministry of Ecological Transition, Energy, Climate and Risk
Prevention, ADME – the French public ecological transition
agency - and the World Wildlife Fund. Numérique Responsable
recognizes companies that adopt ethical and ecologically
responsible practices, as part of a demanding and clearly defined
approach to reducing their environmental footprint and having a
positive impact on society.
"Obtaining the level 2 Numérique Responsable label demonstrates
our ongoing commitment to a more responsible digital technology,"
says Caroline de Grandmaison,
President France and Luxembourg at
CGI. "It highlights both the concrete initiatives we have
already put in place, such as training 9,000 employees in
eco-design, and our close collaboration with major customers,
including EDF, in developing environmentally-friendly
solutions. This certification also underscores our proactive
action plan, which we are committed to implementing over the next
three years, to support our ambition to combine technological
innovation and environmental responsibility."
The more stringent level 2 label was awarded to CGI following a
comprehensive audit of its employees, customers, suppliers and
partners that was conducted by the independent firm Baker Tilly, on
behalf of the LUCIE agency.
The audit assessed CGI against 52 criteria, focusing on five
main areas:
- Strategy and governance - integrating digital
responsibility into the organization's strategy, formalizing and
deploying a dedicated policy, etc.;
- Supporting the responsible digital strategy - driving
the NR approach to get internal and external stakeholders on board,
integrating digital accessibility, and supporting the development
of NR skills;
- Lifecycle of digital services - promoting sustainability
and extended lifecycles beginning with the purchasing phase onward,
adopting responsible management of equipment, software,
applications and services, as well as infrastructure and data;
- Extend a responsible digital approach - encouraging the
sharing of tools and knowledge, and leveraging digital technology
as a lever for action;
- External levers of digital service companies - promoting
responsible digital services in commercial offers and integrating
these into the continuous improvement of services.
Following this audit, CGI defined a three-year progress plan,
with priority given to implementing responsible design in the
services offered to customers, in line with the initial training
objective. CGI is also in the process of adopting the standards for
responsible artificial intelligence. The concrete outcomes of this
continuous improvement approach will be monitored by assessing the
environmental footprint of projects.
