Risk management

Our Enterprise Risk Management process ensures that risks are effectively managed across CGI and that all significant risks are reported at the enterprise level.

Responsible procurement

As a global company operating in 40 countries, we understand our duty to work with suppliers who are environmentally and ethically responsible throughout their overall operations. We are committed to embedding sustainability principles in our procurement policy.

Corporate governance

High corporate governance standards are foundational to the way we conduct business at CGI. We recognize and embrace our responsibility as a global company to engage in business practices that are ethical and in compliance with the letter and spirit of all applicable laws and regulations. Our Board of Directors and standing committees have ESG-related responsibilities and oversee the management and impact of ESG topics.

Corporate Taxation

As CGI is operating in many European Union countries, the European Country by Country report is hereby published for the financial year from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. We comply fully with all applicable tax laws, rules and regulations in the countries where we operate. As a matter of principle, we oppose tax evasion and recognize our key role in fostering economic and social development in the communities where we live and work. We operate only in jurisdictions where we have business activity and do not transfer value to low tax or tax haven countries.

Ethics

We operate our business ethically and in compliance with the letter and spirit of all applicable laws and regulations. Our Code of Ethics and our Third-Party Code of Ethics outline our expectations for all CGI Partners', officers, directors, vendors, contractors, and partners.

Data privacy

Whether we process personal data for our own needs, or do so for our clients or third parties, CGI is committed to providing levels of data protection aligned with industry best practices and in compliance with our legal and contractual obligations.

ESG governance

Our ESG governance objectives are set under the guidance of several groups: the CGI Board of Directors, our ESG Executive Steering Committee, our ESG global and local teams, and our ESG networks and working groups.

Security

Through a multi-layered approach that recognizes the protective value of both technology and the human element, we implement appropriate security practices and solutions, along with investing in awareness and training for our CGI Partners. Expanding our capabilities to identify and detect threats early increases our ability to manage vulnerabilities and respond to threats in a timely manner and to limit the risk of major incidents and breaches.
