We are delighted to announce that CGI has once again achieved the Gold Award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme, a prestigious recognition from the Armed Forces Covenant that highlights our commitment to the UK armed forces community. This achievement demonstrates our dedication to supporting those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, as well as their families, and underscores the value we place on their skills, resilience, and unique perspectives.

The Gold Award represents the highest level of commitment to the armed forces within the corporate community, and we are proud to be among the organisations that uphold this standard. Since we first received this award in 2019, we have continued to evolve our support and engagement, striving to make a meaningful difference in the lives of veterans, reservists, and military families who contribute so much to our work on mission-critical IT systems and defence projects.

Our commitment goes beyond employment; CGI’s community of CGI Partner-created and led networks thrive around shared experiences and common bonds. Our Uniformed Services Network plays a vital role in guiding our initiatives relating to our commitment to the armed forces, providing resources, and fostering a sense of belonging for colleagues with military ties. Through this network, we support charitable efforts and engage in STEM outreach, including recent contributions to PTSD Resolution and skills-building opportunities for the Sea Cadets.

We encourage all organisations to consider the value of signing the Corporate Covenant and the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme to strengthen and recognise their support for the armed forces.

Our journey continues, and we remain committed to championing the armed forces community in everything we do.
