Recognition in the study

Capgemini’s recognition in the list reflects its ability to combine strategy, engineering and digital transformation to deliver sustainability outcomes that create measurable business value.

The report says that companies should consider Capgemini for engineering-intensive sustainability work, including sustainable product design, lifecycle assessment, manufacturing decarbonisation and supply chain transformation.

“I believe this recognition reflects how we help clients turn sustainability from ambition into a source of resilience, competitive strength, creating enduring business value, through the combined power of strategy, engineering, AI and data.

Inside IDC’s report

The IDC MarketScape study offers a comprehensive analysis of the global sustainability strategy services market.

It looks at how sustainability is used as a lever for enterprise value creation, operational resilience and capital allocation.

It has profiled leading global firms, detailing strategic direction and sector-specific expertise for companies including Accenture, Atos, Bain & Company, BCG, Capgemini, CGI, Deloitte, EY, Fujitsu, IBM, KPMG, McKinsey, NTT DATA, PwC, Schneider Electric and TCS.

The study found that vendors are increasingly embedding sustainability KPIs into core business metrics, leveraging generative and agentic AI for disclosure and scenario modelling.

It says that the market rewards vendors that “connect environmental ambition to financial outcomes, operationalise through AI-enabled platforms and sustain transformation via managed services”.

Leading vendors are positioned to drive enterprise transformation through the integration of sustainability services into business strategy.

Dan Versace, Senior Research Analyst on ESG Business Services at IDC, says: “Sustainability strategy is no longer a compliance checkbox; it’s the new engine of enterprise value, capital allocation and operational resilience.

“In 2026, the winners will be those who embed sustainability into the P&L, harness AI as a core enabler and transform ambition into measurable business outcomes.”
