Fighting climate change
As a member of the Government Digital Sustainability Alliance, CGI leads others to protect and improve the health of our planet.
CGI in the UK has committed to achieve net zero by 2026, based on Science Based Targets (SBTs), achieving an 84% reduction in emissions across our operations from our 2019 baseline. We will use our Carbon Impact Tool to identify and track contracting body contract associated emissions, building these into our net zero plans to reduce any negative environmental impacts of contracts.
We have extended our climate change commitment into our supply chain such that 50% of our suppliers, by spend, will have set their own SBTs to reduce their climate impact by 2026. This will apply to suppliers we engage to support the delivery of call-off contracts. We are supporting suppliers through quarterly net zero knowledge sharing webinars. So far 23% of our suppliers, by spend, have set SBTs.
Our environmental engagement programme 'No Planet B' influences CGI members, clients, suppliers and communities to support environmental protection and improvement. We achieve this through activities such as litter picking and our tree and hedge planting programme where, together with clients and suppliers we have planted 19,500+ UK native trees. Our members partner with clients and suppliers on tree-planting days. We will invite contracting bodies and their ecosystem partners to participate in such activities, connecting them with the environment and increasing protection and enhancement awareness.
CGI's UN-supported research programme, Sustainability Exploration Environmental Data Science (SEEDS), brings organisations, academics and experts together to collaboratively devise/deliver environmental solutions. SEEDS is accelerating efforts to address climate change by researching climate mitigation solutions and waste reduction.
We will continue our partnerships with charities and Social Enterprises, including Canal and River Trust to mobilise action on environmental protection objectives through collaborating with local communities.Tackling economic inequality
CGI prides itself on making positive impacts on the communities where we live and work throughout the UK, mirroring the Government’s levelling-up agenda. We are growing and diversifying our supply chains, recognising the benefits this brings to our clients, including offering better value for money and providing expertise and knowledge that promotes and delivers innovative solutions.
We will continue to provide new employment and training opportunities including professional, graduate and apprenticeships, ensuring STEM careers are accessible for all. To create new skills in the IT industry, we offer a range of apprenticeships and partner with several universities to deliver our Technology Industry Gold accredited Degree Apprenticeships.
We support social enterprises including Breakthrough, providing mentoring and interview skills to prison leavers, enabling them to become work-ready. We will continue to inspire the next generation of IT professionals through our STEM camps, held across the UK in partnership with underserved schools and communities. Our CGI Young Dreamers programme works in partnership with government clients to support social mobility by broadening the future career prospects of students from underserved backgrounds.
CGI supports the Government’s priority to grow and diversify supply chains by providing opportunities for smaller organisations to work with us in delivering key solutions to our clients. Since 2016 we have provided opportunities for over 600 SMEs. We are signatories of the Prompt Payment Code. Throughout our engagements, any change control will include a check on potential inclusion of SME, Social Enterprises or new businesses. This will, where appropriate, include advertising opportunities on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender. We also welcome input from our clients, as they often have valuable insight into supplier offerings.
For transparency, we will report on the number, value and proportion of contract spend being undertaken by SMEs and Social Enterprises per call-off contract, to contracting bodies.
