Our commitment
We are committed to improving the well-being of communities where we live and work and giving our members the time and resources to support local causes. Increasingly, we seek to direct our aid and efforts to help ensure that everyone can benefit from the digital world, including the most disadvantaged, and can more fully participate in our society, democracy, and economy. We also mobilize as a company, and through our members, to support the humanitarian needs of people.

Giving back to our communities with CGI for Good
CGI for Good is our digital volunteering tool designed to empower our professionals to respond to the unique needs of their communities. It supports volunteering as a core company value.
When fully implemented, the online tool will give 90,000 CGI professionals a single place to discover local volunteer opportunities, recommend projects of their own and manage pro bono projects. The tool will help us reach our goal to have 100% of our business units implementing pro bono projects by 2026. It also will provide added transparency for reporting our progress on community-impact goals to stakeholders—including indices that audit and rate our performance against Environmental, Social and Governance criteria (ESG).
