"Our “SpeakUp” policy details our ethics helpline and is a natural extension of our values-based culture and high ethical standards. It is a web and phone-based ethics reporting, incident management and

advisory tool, hosted by an independent service provider and managed by Group Ethics and supported by our global network of Ethics & Compliance Officers and Human Resources (HR) investigators. SpeakUp is voluntary, confidential, and allows anonymity, unless stated differently by a country’s local law which is detailed within the policy. It is made available by Capgemini to our team members,

customers, suppliers and business partners."

“SpeakUp is voluntary, confidential, and allows anonymity, unless stated differently by a country’s local law which is detailed within the policy. It is made available by Capgemini to our team members, customers, suppliers and business partners. SpeakUp is a commitment from Capgemini to listen to voices when raised in good faith to be fair when investigating an alert, to respect organisational justice and maintain confidentiality; and to protect the reporter from any form of retaliation.”

“Building on our commitment to foster a positive and inclusive workplace, our internal “Respectfully Us” programme, launched in 2019, drives a programme of activity that encourages all of us to stand up to inappropriate behaviour in all its guises by ‘breaking the silence’. We have trained independent inclusion & Respect Ambassadors across the UK business. Employees can approach the Ambassadors informally, as trusted advisors, with any concerns to look at ways to resolve inappropriate behaviour in a respectful and open way.”
