MONTRÉAL, Feb. 8, 2023
/PRNewswire/ - CGI (TSX: GIB.A) (NYSE: GIB) announces the
publication of its 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Report, which details the company's commitments, quantified targets
and progress on its three global priorities of People, Communities
and Climate.
"As a leading global business and IT services firm, we
understand the important role we play in operating as a responsible
and ethical company on behalf of our three stakeholders—clients,
consultants and professionals, and shareholders," said George D. Schindler, President and Chief
Executive Officer. "We are proud to employ our expertise in
collaboration with clients, educational institutions, and local
charities to improve the economic, social, and environmental
well-being of our shared communities. Together, our aim is to
ensure that everyone can positively benefit from the empowering and
innovative impacts that technology can deliver."
CGI's 2022 ESG Report incorporates new topics such as the
decarbonization of the company's supply chain, support for the
economic prosperity of communities, nature and biodiversity,
sustainable IT, and human rights—all in line with the United
Nations sustainable development goals. The report also expands the
coverage on diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), health, and
the well-being and safety of CGI professionals. This year marks the
company's transition from use of the term "corporate social
responsibility (CSR)" to "ESG" to further support measurable and
transparent disclosure and alignment with compliance indices
requirements.
Over the past year, key highlights of CGI's progress on its
three ESG priorities of People, Communities and Climate
included:
- Championing digital inclusion for all by delivering 1,200
educational programs to over 500,000 people around the
world―equating to helping improve the lives of more than 5 people
for every one CGI employee;
- Helping create societal value in the local communities where
CGI employees live and work through volunteering and pro bono
activities benefitting over 1.2 million people worldwide, including
through a new "CGI for Good" volunteering support platform; and
- Reducing the company's CO2e emissions by 65% from
the 2014 baseline.
CGI's ESG goals and progress are independently assessed by
leading external organizations such as EcoVadis and the Dow Jones
Sustainability Indices (DJSI). EcoVadis awarded CGI a platinum
rating for Sustainability Performance in 2022, its highest rating,
in recognition of the company's disciplined approach in integrating
sustainability across daily business practices worldwide. CGI also
received a score of 62/100 from DJSI for its sustainability
performance, compared to the industry average of 25/100.
