Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)

We committed under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to set a near-term target by 2025 at the latest. As our new Climate Roadmap evolves, we will integrate net-zero objectives aligned with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal while maintaining our reduction trajectory on Scopes 1, 2, and 3 under the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.

Climate strategy

We integrate environmental responsibility into how we conduct business, manage our operations, and support ecosystems in the communities in which we live and work. We demonstrate our commitment by conducting our activities responsibly and applying environmental best practices throughout our operations. This mainly involves our office operations, data center activities, procurement of IT assets, and business travel.

Our climate strategy includes the following:

Resource Management
  • Follow the three Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle) targeting e-waste
  • Complete ISO 14001 certification of locations
  • Use eco-efficient cooling to reduce data center water consumption
Energy
  • Shift data centers and offices to renewable energy based on availability
  • Reduce energy consumption
Travel
  • Reduce car fleet and transition to electric vehicles
  • Reduce emissions impact of air travel
  • Reduce emissions impact of commuting
Supply chain
  • Help reduce the carbon impact of our supply chain
  • Promote circular economy principles
Stakeholder collaboration
  • Develop CGI Partners* awareness, engagement and empowerment
  • Support and collaborate with our clients on environmental objectives
  • Pursue activities with communities and organizations
