Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Capgemini's ethics are mixed. The company faced a data breach where 20GB of sensitive data, including source code, was allegedly stolen. Critics highlight its IT contracts with government agencies like ICE and DHS for immigration enforcement, and a $2 billion agreement for the Defense Health Agency. Capgemini sources 98% renewable electricity and reduced Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 91% since 2019, though Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods increased by 17%. However, the UK median gender pay gap rose to 18.4% (2023), with employee salary satisfaction rated 3.0/5. Its ethics hotline received 1,643 alerts, with 30% substantiated.

Better Health for All

-10

Capgemini's services, when applied to the healthcare sector, demonstrate a positive health impact. The company developed the Endopath AI system to reduce endometriosis diagnosis times by up to two years and a Gen AI-driven methodology that reduces datapoints for protein sequence design by over 99%, accelerating drug discovery.

1
Capgemini also supported a clinical trial with over 46,000 patients, achieving a 95% patient satisfaction rate.
2
While the percentage of their total service portfolio dedicated to health is not specified, these initiatives provide modest health benefits. For healthcare data responsibility, Capgemini has adopted Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) as its global data protection policy, updated in April 2025 for Controller activities and April 2023 for Processor activities to comply with EU and UK GDPR.
3
However, a study cited in the articles revealed over 200 million healthcare records were lost, exposed, or stolen in the US over the past decade, indicating a significant industry-wide challenge that Capgemini's services aim to address, but without specific performance metrics for its own direct impact.
4
Regarding risk transparency, the company acknowledges the risk of disreputable players accessing patient data due to profit motives and the security risks of outdated solutions like fax machines.
5
It also states that unrestricted sharing of patient health information would be an unforgivable violation.
6
However, it does not provide specific metrics on its own transparency practices or any adverse events. For clinical trial ethics, Capgemini designs clinical study protocols that adhere to stringent regulatory guidelines like ICH-GCP, ensuring accuracy, legitimacy, efficacy, and patient-centricity.
7
The company also notes new requirements to increase diversity in clinical trials, suggesting an area of ongoing focus.

0
