Commitment to the environment

Contributing to an improved and sustainable environment

CGI is committed to building long-term partnerships with clients, members (our term for employees) and shareholders. We believe that the needs of our stakeholders are interrelated and that all benefit from socially responsible behavior, including doing our part to create a sustainable environment.

As a high-growth company, CGI understands that growth must not come at the expense of the communities where we do business or of the environment in general. This is why CGI is committed to contributing to the protection of the environment through responsible and environmentally-oriented operating practices. In addition, members are encouraged to participate in undertakings geared toward improving the environment in both their workplace and their community. For instance, we encourage efforts to conserve energy and water as well as reduce waste, and encourage the use of recycled materials when possible. In addition, our client-proximity business model places members close to clients, which, in addition to communication technologies such as video conferencing, helps reduce travel-related pollution.

Business unit leaders are responsible for bettering the environment of the communities in which they operate, and are empowered to determine the best way in which their local office participates. This grassroots approach to our environmental commitment ensures that all CGI communities benefit in the best manner possible.
