Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability
Reducing our Environmental Footprint and Maximizing our Social ImpactAs a leading global company with significant business partnerships, Capgemini is committed to maintaining and promoting world-class standards of business integrity. Our company values, which incorporate the principles of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability, guide our relationships with clients, employees, and the communities and environment in which we operate. Our approach to sustainability addresses both our environmental and social impacts, supporting our vision to remain an employer of choice, while meeting client demands for socially responsible partners. In 2007, we formally incorporated CSR and environmental sustainability principles in the remit of our board’s Ethics and Governance Committee.
The Group respects local laws and customs while supporting international laws and regulations. These policies have been integral to the way we have done business in the past and will continue to play a central role in influencing our practice in the future.
Our Vision and MissionAt Capgemini, we live and breathe the philosophy that people matter and results count.

We believe this human-centered approach to technology is what makes the difference for your business.
Our Mission: with you, we create and deliver business and technology solutions that fit your needs and drive the results you wantCapgemini enables you to transform your organization and improve performance. We aim to empower you to respond more quickly and intuitively to changing market dynamics.

In the services business, success is powered as much by shared values as by employee skills. Capgemini's business objectives and shared standards are designed to benefit not only shareholders and employees, but also every other participant in the value chain. It is our firm belief that these objectives can only be achieved through mutual respect and cooperation.
Seven ValuesSeven shared values have been at the heart of Capgemini since our formation. These values influence the way we meet client needs while respecting the regulatory requirements of each country in which we operate, and the way we promote ethically sound practices within Capgemini and in our partnerships. They are:
HonestyParticularly the refusal of unfair business practices aimed at obtaining a particular contract or advantage. In line with this principle, Capgemini has established clear rules with respect to commissions and gifts of all kinds.BoldnessIn the sense of an entrepreneurship and desire to take considered risks balanced by prudence and clear-sightedness, without which a bold manager can become reckless.TrustIt implies a willingness to empower employees and teams, and to allow managers to experience the effects of their initiatives and decisions. Trust also implies an open mind and genuine transparency in the flow of information, and is at the heart of our Collaborative Business Experience®.FreedomIt includes creativity, innovation, independence of mind and respect for others in their diverse cultures, habits, and customs, all of which are crucial for a company with a presence in 40 countries and that has over 100 nationalities among its employees.Team spiritWith clients, employees, and partners; the ability to share in both good and bad times.ModestyIn relations with others and in our approach to issues.FunWithout which any corporate vision is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to implement.We’ve created a formal code of ethics to clarify and promote these practices. Learn more about the way our long-standing values and practices are reflected in our corporate responsibility and stewardship, the way we collaborate with our clients, and the way we relate to our employees.Historic Overview
Blazing a trail from Grenoble to Mumbai.Paul Hermelin
“"“Forty years on, our challenge is to maintain our momentum, while preserving our differences and the spark of innovation that enables us to work in an original way both together and with our clients.” "”Paul HermelinCEO CapgeminiOther Solutions
Since the company’s founding in 1967, Capgemini has established itself as one of the top 5 IT services and consulting companies worldwide. Over the past 4 decades, we have witnessed periods of success, challenge and reappraisal.
Our long-term growth and the accompanying expansion of our service offering have relied on internal evolutions, international acquisitions and organic expansion. The following timeline gives an overview of our journey:The early years (1967-1975)
Capgemini traces its roots to the French city of Grenoble, where Serge Kampf founded Sogeti in 1967. By 1975, the acquisition of 2 large IT services companies, CAP and Gemini Computer Systems, had established the company as a European leader, present in 21 countries.Time for expansion (1975-1989)
The company continued to grow and develop, shifting its focus from capital-intensive machine solutions to high-value intellectual services. By 1989, internal restructuring, European expansion and American market entry had positioned the company among the 5 leaders in its sector worldwide.New strategies for growth (1990-1997)
Capgemini built a world-class management consulting practice through a series of strategic acquisitions including United Research (1990) and the Mac Group (1991) in the U.S. and Gruber Titze and Partners (1993), and Bossard (1997) in Europe.Building the future (1998-present)
As the global IT market evolved, we increased emphasis on two of our businesses: local professional services and outsourcing. We have also developed an approach we call Rightshore®. This approach relies on both offshore capabilities – including 19,900 people in India as of June 2009 with the acquisition of Kanbay, as well as offshore centers in Morocco and Argentina – and nearshore resources in countries including Poland and Spain.
Capgemini India offices are located in Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune and Kolkata.

Read the passage given below and answer the following Questions:
The questions relate to the words or phrases bold in the following passage. However, the entire passage may have to be read before attempting the questions.
An old specter is haunting Delhi. Abandoned elsewhere in the world by a merciless history, it has taken refuge in a place where there is no Pope or Czar to overcome. Communism, the unraveled lie of the last century, may have lost its original homelands in Russia and Eastern Europe. Doesn't matter, there are always theorists in thrall who can argue with such dialectical conviction about the inevitabilities of scientific error in practice. So, there is always a socialist afterlife beyond the detritus of the Soviet empire and the fallen vassal states.
There are also revolutionaries like Prakash Karat armed with the book to guard against the possibility of Marx being exiled to the souvenir shop. Thank God, the revolution of Karat is bound by the armchair. The world as he sees it is a world hostile to the revolutionary ideal, and where counter-revolutionary viruses are on the offensive. He has identified them, and his diktats against them are the most decisive commandments in Indian politics today.

Read the passage given below and answer the following Questions:
Bamboo is a woody plant of the grass family. There are about 1,000 species of bamboos. They grow throughout the tropical and semitropical regions of the world, especially in southern Asia, at altitudes ranging from sea level to 13,000 feet (4,000 m). The pygmy bamboo of Japan is about the size of field grass, while in China, India, and the northern Andes Mountains of South America there are bamboos 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter and 120 feet (37 m) tall. The Culm, or stem, of most species of bamboo, like that of most grasses, is hollow and jointed. The culms grow rapidly, reaching their full height in two months or less. They do not grow thicker; the new shoots (sprouts) have their full diameter when they emerge. Delicate leaves growing from the upper nodes (joints) give the top of the Culm a feathery look. Bamboo grows in dense groves, new culms being produced by rhizomes (underground stems).Many species of bamboo flower only at long intervals"30, 60, or 120 years. When flowering occurs, all plants of that species, all over the world, flower at about the same time. Then the culms die. The grove, however, does not die, because some rhizomes survive to send up new shoots and some seeds take root. But it takes about five years for a grove to become fully reestablished, and the culms are not suitable for harvesting until they are three to five years old.
In some parts of Asia entire houses are made of bamboo. Bamboo poles form the framework and bamboo splints are woven into latticework for walls and partitions. Split bamboo is used for floors, and roofs are made of bamboo leaves laid on bamboo poles. Sections of Culm with a node at one end, depending on their size, serve as cups, bottles, jars, and other containers. Bamboo shoots are used in many Oriental (especially Chinese) dishes, and bamboo seeds can be roasted and eaten. Knives are made from the outer wall of the Culm, and paper from the inner wall. Many products are made of bamboo for export or tourist trade in Asian countries. Masts of boats are made from culms, and culms with the nodes bored out are used as water pipes. Bows and arrows are also made from bamboo. Large amounts of bamboo are imported into Western countries to make curtains, umbrella handles, walking sticks, fishing poles, baskets, chairs, cages, and wicker work. Cellulose extracted from bamboo is used in the manufacture of rayon and other man-made textiles. Carbonized bamboos served as the filament in early electric light bulbs. Bamboos are members of the family Gramineae. There are more than 50 genera. Only two species are native to the United States. Arundinaria gigantean is the giant cane of the canebrakes of the South. It grows as far north as Virginia and as far west as Louisiana. It reaches 25 feet (7.6 m) in height. The switch cane, A. tecta, grows to 12 feet (3.7 m), and may be found from Maryland and Indiana to Texas. Bamboos that grow as tall as 100 feet (30 m) include Bambusa arundinaceous of India (which now also grows in Florida) and Dendrocalamus giganteus of Burma.
Q 4. What is not true about the Bamboos?A. Bamboo seeds can be used for eatingB. Bamboos were used as bulb filament in earlier bulbsC. Bamboo culms are not suitable for harvesting before five yearsD. Some of the houses are completely constructed by bamboos
