How the planning service works
CGI will work closely with the client to understand the current service model, areas that work well along with pain points, and aspirations for the new service.

Understanding any client constraints or key targets will be essential to allow us to work with the client to build a viable high level plan to deliver on their required outcomes, providing advice and guidance on best practise and solutions. All of this can be used to then support the client's business case development.

As we progress, this will be developed into a detailed project plan to manage the overall project to successful delivery, that brings together all key stakeholders to build a strong delivery partnership.

Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

CGI is passionate about protecting the environment. This is evidenced by our UK corporate policy, backed by Science Based Targets (SBTs), to be Net Zero by 2026 and to be operationally Carbon Neutral by the end of 2022.

Equally important 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.

We are committed to protecting the environment through mindful stewardship and responsible operating practices, as well as delivering a robust set of environmental and energy solutions for our clients.

Highlights of our commitment include, but are not limited to:
- As part of our global commitment to be net-zero by 2030, CGI in the UK has also committed to set science-based emissions reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative aligned with climate science and is a signatory of the Race to Zero
- CGI’s appointment of a dedicated UK programme manager to deliver against our Net Zero targets.
- Extension of 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.
- CGI’s ‘No Planet B’ initiative - Engaging with our members, clients, suppliers and communities, to identify and deliver additional benefits including tree planting and canal restoration projects.
As and when we engage in the call-off for our services, we will ensure that we remain aligned to our approach to fighting climate change, and we will work with the buyer to define specific Social Value deliverables and reporting metrics as part of the engagement.
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

At CGI we are proud of being a Responsible business and are committed to a more inclusive and sustainable world. We believe that business has an obligation to act responsibly, a belief which is realised across our organisation.
Aligned with the five government social value “themes" of Covid-19 recovery, tackling economic inequality, fighting climate change, equal opportunity and wellbeing, CGI’s approach is focussed on three distinct pillars: Climate, People and Communities.
CGI recognises the richness that diversity brings to our organisation, embracing this diversity within our business culture. We are committed to challenging ourselves to ensure we leverage diversity and inclusion to spur collaboration and bring innovation to our clients, creating an environment where every member can bring their whole selves to work.
We have several peer-to-peer employee networks designed to support our members in many ways. These networks offer encouragement and support and deliver activities and raise awareness to ensure everyone has the opportunity to contribute to our success.
We are committed to recruiting women, students, those with disabilities and other historically under-represented groups. For example, we are partnering with various university training partners to deliver our Technology Industry Gold accredited Degree Apprenticeships, and we advertise our roles on specialist job boards such as Evenbreak (disability) and myGWork (LGBT+).
We ensure that all organisational policies, pay, hours of work, training, performance review schemes, disciplinary or other procedures and benefits are designed to promote equal opportunity and provide protection for all members.
As and when we engage in the call-off for our services, we will ensure that we remain aligned to our approach to equal opportunity, and we will work with the buyer to define specific Social Value deliverables and reporting metrics as part of the engagement.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

At CGI, we are acutely aware of the pressures on individuals in our modern-day society, and also how the health of our company and the wellbeing of our members are closely tied. To address these pressures, we train our staff members in Mental Health First Aid (our MFHA network consists of over 300 Mental Health First Aiders), and through our ‘Oxygen’ programme (CGI’s award winning health and wellbeing programme) we support our members with physical and mental wellbeing resources, and we are extending wellbeing initiatives such as step challenged to our members, clients and suppliers.
We pride ourselves on being known as a responsible company, where we pull together as a friendly team, helping all our members to bring their whole selves to work. Our member wellbeing initiatives have received awards from the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personal Development) and CHS (Corporate Health Standard) Wales.
Part of our heritage is to build relationships with the communities in which we live and work. An example of our commitment to wellbeing in the community is the way in which we support and sponsor local and community groups and sports clubs nominated by our members. Over the last year we have sponsored kits for more than 500 different clubs and groups. Each CGI member has a dedicated day each year for volunteering activities, whether that's supporting a charity of their choice or participating in one of our many community initiatives, such as tree planting and canal restoration days.
As and when we engage in the call-off for our services, we will ensure that we remain aligned to our approach to wellbeing, and we will work with the buyer to define specific Social Value deliverables and reporting metric as part of the engagement.
