The history of Capgemini

Capgemini was founded in 1967 by Serge Kampf. In the 1970s, Serge was the first to combine technical and organisational consulting with custom proximity, with a view of the future role that IT would play in the business world.

Serge started the company off in a two-room apartment which would later be converted into an office.

By 1975 the company had become an IT leader in Europe, establishing a presence in 21 countries.

Building on his European success, Serge started to go international by 1989 and was seen as one of the world leaders in the IT sector.

Capgemini is now one of the global leaders in digital and cloud services, delivering new business models and agile operations to keep its clients at the forefront of the marketplace.

Capgemini’s role in helping others be sustainable

Being sustainable is a key factor in many companies today, with a global effort to move towards net zero.

Capgemini advises businesses on consciously accelerating sustainability by defining  actionable strategies, developing measurable commitments, smart investments and enacting culture change to be proactive towards bettering the planet.

Some of the methods include:

• Capgemini says it is imperative for the planet and business to move to new business models like a circular economy, to preserve value and drive change
• It looks to help clients define commitments to the planet beyond net zero 
• Implementing solutions into businesses that embed sustainability across the organisation
• Also using a digital twin model of a business to stress test plans and strategies against future scenarios related to climate, economy and planetary boundaries

Cyril Garcia, Group Executive Board member, Head of Global Sustainability Services and Corporate Responsibility at Capgemini says: “We are committed to partnering on your climate transition, helping re-invent your organisation to create enduring sustainable value and impact.”
