Responsible business

We believe that business has an obligation to act responsibly, a belief which is realised across our organisation. Responsible Business is present in our operating practices, the innovative solutions we provide to clients, the partnerships we hold with third parties and the roles we play in the communities in which we live and work.

Our approach is focussed on three distinct pillars: Climate, People and Communities. But an equally important foundation is our approach to responsible operations, ensuring we meet or exceed legal obligations for good governance and participate in important voluntary measures such as the UN Global Compact and Sustainable Development Goals.

This joined up approach puts Responsible business at the heart of everything we do. It helps us to achieve the ‘CGI dream’ of creating an environment in which we all enjoy working together and contributing to building a company we can be proud of.

Communities

Part of CGI’s heritage is to build relationships with the communities in which we live and work. We do this through activities such as volunteering and fundraising to help members engage, not only with the local area, but with each other.

Responsible operations

CGI’s values form the foundation of our corporate governance practices. We are proud to operate as a responsible business to balance the interests of our key stakeholders: our clients, our shareholders and our members
