Guided by our dream

While most companies have a Vision and Mission, CGI goes a step beyond. We have a company Dream:

To create an environment in which we enjoy working together and, as owners, contribute to building a company we can be proud of.

Since our founding, this Dream serves as the inspiration for our actions.

There are three fundamental aspects to our Dream:

  • Creating an environment in which we enjoy working together: We assemble and retain, all around the world, extraordinary women and men who share this Dream and who thrive on working as a team.
  • As Owners: We are shareholders of CGI; it is "our" company; we participate in its growth and development and we nurture an ownership mentality.
  • Contribute to building a company we can be proud of: We participate in building a highly ethical company, one that reflects our aspirations and where pride comes from the satisfaction of our clients, our members, our shareholders, and from the communities in which we live and work.
