11、eded to find a way towards more circularity.Capgemini and AMAZON WEB SERVICES(AWS)have come together to develop a solution.This required the digitalization of hundreds of thousands of documents and parts that make up an aircraft,turning fragmented historical data into digital assets to increase the
12、reuse rate of parts,and thus boost the adoption of circular economy practices.MOVING THEAEROSPACE INDUSTRYTOWARDS A CIRCULARECONOMYA COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF EXISTING PARTSCapgemini and AWS leveraged their combined innovation and technology capabilities to create the Lifecycle Optimization for Aerospac

14、ion process,optimizing lifecycle analysis of aircraft parts,and guiding decisions to extend their lifespan,the platform is accelerating adoption of circular economy practices in the aviation industry.The ability to consider the aerospace industrys entire value chain,including maintenance,and being a
15、ble to accurately monitor the condition of an aircraft at any time constitute key levers for the industrys overall transformation.Air France and Safran participated in the development of the platform and will be among its first users.Collecting historical information helps the aerospace ecosystem ow

25、istic work.CAPGEMINI INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 202389TABLE OF CONTENTS_ Capgemini demonstrated its agility and resilience once again in 2023.The Group withstood the slowdown in demand which was most likely due to higher inflation and rising interest rates.We continued to invest and consolidate our st
26、atus as a partner to our clients supporting their business and technology transformations.Despite the decline in demand,the Group improved its operating margin.The markets reaction to Capgeminis performance demonstrated investors trust in the Group,in its captain,Aiman,and his entire crew.It is a we
27、ll-known fact that we see who the best helmsmen are in light winds!It is therefore no coincidence to me that Capgemini is a partner to the Americas Cup,an iconic sailing competition that takes innovation and technology to the highest level.Everything still,and always,comes down to technology and inn
28、ovation.Artificial intelligence has become the driving force behind transformation,with the sudden emergence of generative AI.Everyone has seen how,at tremendous speed,it has transformed the day-to-day lives of businesses and citizens alike.In record time,this technology has started being used in wa
29、ys that we never thought imaginable,and its potential is seemingly boundless.In any case,generative artificial intelligence is ushering in a new era.The press likes to point out the risks associated with it(hallucinations,bias,the spread of deepfakes,intellectual property rights violations,high ener
30、gy consumption,etc.).But we are truly on the verge of a revolution that will boost productivity and completely reshape many sectors.So,as always,we must redouble our vigilance and our efforts.Some might be tempted to rely entirely on regulation.But we should remember that what we need to control is
31、how technology is used.We must beware of giving in to the absurd idea of censoring technology itself.Your Board of Directors,which I have the pleasure of chairing,ensures the proper governance of the company.Its composition changed again in 2023.At your Annual General Shareholders Meeting,two new me
32、mbers were voted in:Megan Clarken and Ulrica Fearn.They very quickly contributed to our work through their sector expertise and their understanding of financial aspects,inclusion and diversity,digital transformation and the US and Asian markets.I started this letter with a sailing metaphor,and Id li
33、ke to end it with reference to a sport that is even more beloved at Capgemini.The 2023 Rugby World Cup,which we sponsored,brought out the enthusiasm and attachment that many of our employees feel towards this sport.At the risk of offending some,I would like to pay tribute to the winners,South Africa
34、.The countrys team showed uncommon strength of character.They beat France,England and New Zealand,each time by one tiny point.It is a testament to collective spirit,resilience and extraordinary mindset and strength of character.And that is the beauty of this sport.Serge Kampf would undoubtedly be ex
35、tremely happy to see that his passion for rugby reigns as strong as ever in the Group he founded over fifty years ago.Serge was crazy about rugby,because he believed that it was the ultimate team sport.You cannot achieve anything in rugby without total engagement from all teammates,and every try is
36、an achievement for the entire team.These collective values resonate intensely with those of Capgemini and continue to guide us today.“EVERYTHING STILL,AND ALWAYS,COMES DOWN TO TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION.”PAUL HERMELINCHAIRMAN OF THE BOARDCAPGEMINI INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 20231011LETTER FROM THE CHAI
37、RMANAIMANEZZATCHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER“WE ARE A BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFORMATION PARTNER TO OUR CLIENTS.WE WORK HAND IN HAND WITH BUSINESSES AT EVERY STEP OF THEIR VALUE CHAIN.”_ 2023 has been a year of growth for the Group.We anticipated a slowdown in the market and we succeeded in asserting o
38、ur resilience by navigating the macroeconomic headwinds throughout the year.This allowed us to achieve excellent results which placed us amongst the most performing companies in our sector while we continued to gain market share.And for this,I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all our Capg
39、emini team members for their dedication and mobilization.Ultimately,this years performance was a crowning moment in a particularly dynamic decade.In ten years,the Group more than doubled in size,our operating margin increased by four points,while earning per share and our free cash flow almost tripl
40、ed!The scale of this performance reflects the extent of our Groups transformation,our discipline in execution and the accuracy of our positioning:we are a business and technology transformation partner to our clients.We work hand in hand with businesses across the executive C-suite and at every step
41、 of their value chain.The senior executives I meet with are fully engaged in transitioning towards a digital and sustainable economy and they trust us to guide them on their journeys.Today,we are creating value and tangible business results through our industryspecific solutions for the worlds leadi
42、ng businesses,and we are actively involved in their transition to net zero.And you can take our clients word for it!In this report,you will find many client stories and conversations with leaders from Alstom and Telia attesting to this.On a more personal note,the Group holds a special place in my he
43、art.I am extremely proud of how far we have come,both in terms of the strong acceleration the Group has demonstrated in recent years and how today,our clients consider us to be a strategic partner.We cannot look back on 2023 without mentioning the breakthrough in AI and gen AI.It represents a huge o
44、pportunity for all businesses and we are a major player in this domain.Thanks to our expertise in this area our clients can explore,test and deploy at scale solutions that are capable of delivering undeniable business value.In just a few months,we succeeded in establishing partnerships with the bigg
45、est names in the market:Microsoft,Google,AWS,Salesforce and Mistral AI and our 2 billion investment plan will further strengthen our leadership.This past year,we have taken important steps in ESG as well.We are a responsible business and we are systematically taking the necessary actions to create a
46、 more sustainable and inclusive world.We are leading the way with bold innovations to reduce our carbon footprint:96%of the electricity the Group consumes is now renewable and our carbon emissions,across all three scopes,have decreased by 30%since 2019.In terms of social responsibility,we continue t
47、o make strides and employee training and upskilling remain our number one priority.The Group has strengthened its commitment to diversity and inclusion and I am proud of the way we are upholding the values of respect,tolerance and inclusion.In this report you will discover what Capgemini stands for,
48、its vision and the value we bring to our clients.Youll also be able to look back on an exceptional year of sponsorship rugby,golf,hybrid motorsports.Our transformative power has crossed over into sports!Im glad we will continue this journey into 2024 with the sponsorship of the emblematic Americas C
49、up.Today,while the global context is uncertain on many levels,I remain optimistic.I believe in the potential that technology has to build a digital and sustainable economy and we are committed to keeping people at the heart of it.I am confident in the Groups ability to grow and I know I can count on

91、 to stay at the forefront in serving client business needs?ANNE LEBEL:This is an essential question for those of us working in human resources.The blurring lines between business and technology across all industries require a new breed of talent that combines technical skills and industry expertise
92、But that is just the start.In todays fast-changing world,we attach increased importance to social and emotional capabilities:adaptability,empathy,storytelling because these are character traits needed to understand the challenges our clients face today.A good example of these challenges is the surge
93、 of generative AI onto the scene in 2023.Our responsibility is to ensure that our people are at the forefront of technology to bring value to our clients.To this end,Capgemini announced in July 2023 that it would invest 2 billion to strengthen its leadership in AI over the next three years.Weve adop
94、ted a holistic approach to encouraging and nurturing talent through which we provide our employees with industryspecific knowledge at every stage of their careers.This starts on day one:new team members are onboarded in an industry,they are expected to develop a defined set of skills,they are traine
95、d through our industry campus,and even certified in order to recognize their expertise accordingly.They also join an online community,where they can address industry challenges through expert support,knowledge assets,peer engagement and by collaborating with partners.So,its really a long-term commit
96、ment.We are a global and diverse company,and it is important to grow and learn from each other.Our professional communities bring together experts no matter where they live and work and,through them,individuals can receive tailored online support,peertopeer learning and participate in community even
97、ts so that employees can develop the skills they need to perform and grow in a more informal setting.People also learn from experience.Our commitment extends to crafting career pathways that enable individuals to broaden their expertise by transitioning seamlessly across diverse roles and business d
98、omains._ What makes working at Capgemini special?A.L.:Over the past few years,Capgemini has focused on providing a highly engaging people experience,with attention given to key moments that matter in our employees lives.We take pride in our culture and founding values such as fun and team spirit.We
99、want new joiners to feel welcome from day one,so our onboarding includes a buddy program for early support and networking opportunities.At Capgemini we truly believe in our hybrid model:with hybrid working possibilities and flexibility in terms of working hours and work location,our employees can ba
100、lance their professional ambition with their personal life.We have active employee-led networks,such as WomenCapgemini,OUTfront and CapAbility,dedicated to advancing diversity,equity,and inclusion both in the workplace and in society at large.Employees today are driven to tackle social causes such a
101、s climate change and biodiversity.Through our global tech challenges,they can learn how to use technology for innovative solutions.This commitment to being an employer of choice was once again rewarded last year by our inclusion in the Universum Top 50 most attractive employers for IT students globa
102、lly._ How does Capgemini build leadership?A.L.:We recognize that a new type of leadership is needed to“unleash human energy through technology for an inclusive and sustainable future.”This is reflected in our leadership vision,and we look for well-rounded leaders who put the client first and can del
103、iver our strategic ambition to be a leading transformation and technology partner.We put a premium on promoting,to leadership positions,employees with a variety of skills,knowledge,and experience.Mobility within the Group has always been a key lever to grow leaders and enrich their experience.We exp
104、ect our leaders to inspire people and be attentive to diverse needs.Guiding teams in their development,providing feedback,betting on talent,and taking risks to develop people are key principles we want our leaders to demonstrate.And as a multicultural company,we expect leaders to be inclusive.They a
105、re equipped to adopt and promote inclusive managerial practices.Unconscious bias and inclusive behaviors are embedded into all our flagship leadership trainings.In 2023,our executive and senior leadership volunteered to host inclusion circles,to have open discussions with their teams either about un
106、conscious bias or the value of diversity and inclusion in business.And its not just about acquiring generative AI expertise.It is about leading in this field and applying the technology in new and meaningful ways across our clients value chains._ How does Capgemini help its people to grow?A.L.:We wa
107、nt to build a company of“learnitalls”,not“knowitalls”,turning potential into business value and ensuring our employees sustainability and long-term employability as their careers progress across Capgemini and beyond.We have developed a diverse and rich learning offering,aligned with our strategic ob
108、jectives.Our digital learning platform embeds learning paths developed with prestigious knowledge and technology partners including Harvard Business.We are committed to increasing the learning hours of every employee.In 2023,we exceeded our global target of 5%growth in learning hours across the comp
109、any compared to the previous year.ANNELEBELCHIEF HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER“WE EMPOWER OUR TEAMS OF 340,000 PEOPLE TO CREATE BUSINESS VALUE FOR OUR CLIENTS.”CAPGEMINI INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 20232223TALENTOUR PEOPLESPEAKSKILLS EVOLUTION“Capgemini has this amazing in-house digital training platform cal
110、led Next.We update it every year to make sure we promote new content on the latest technology.Im aware that were operating in a space where technology is evolving at unprecedented speed.Its vital for us to be constantly upskilling our existing workforce,to make sure their skill sets stay up-to-date
111、and relevant.When I joined in 2019,I mandated that every employee in our service should get several hours of technical training each year.We built wide-ranging training and certification programs for our teams with hyperscalers like Microsoft,Google and AWS to give staff opportunities to develop new
112、 technical skills.As the complexity of what we are managing increases,were encouraging our specialists not only to deepen their expertise in their chosen technology but also to expand their knowledge more broadly,so they can effectively manage two or three technologies.”LEADERSHIP“Over the past four
113、 years Ive been involved in the EmpowHer program,an international network of organizations that empowers women to grow and develop,nurturing their freedom and capacity to excel in entrepreneurship.This has really helped me build my leadership skills.It gives me 360-degree feedback and assessments,an
114、d helps me identify my strong points and the ones I need to work on.I was put in touch with a mentor,whos based in India and has given me invaluable tips and opened networking opportunities to me.Today I manage a team of 1,200 people 45%of whom are women.I think they appreciate that Im authentic wit
115、h them;sometimes I speak to them in a Moroccan dialect,so they feel at ease.Theyre also interested in learning how I became a manager after starting my career so young.This is important since Morocco now has a growing pool of engineering talent on the international scene and I want to encourage youn

117、 go so well.For that to work,weve created a safe environment so that they feel sufficiently supported to ask for help when needed.We need to clearly set realistic goals together,not just their ultimate goal,but also the signposts along the way.For me,performance management is demonstrating we care a
118、bout someones development.Its not about following a process although clearly a process is involved,but its really about getting under the covers of why someone has joined Capgemini and why they want to pursue their career with us.Its being clear on an individuals dreams and aspirations.We need to un
