Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]Our commitment to net-zero emissions for our own operations (scope 1, 2 & 3 business travel) is a landmark step in our sustainability journey. This signals our definitive intention to take a global leadership role on climate change and confirms our responsibility to the global priority of transitioning to a low-carbon economy.
To turn our net-zero goal into action, we defined a climate roadmap with measurable short- and medium-term targets. These targets focus on operations that we control and that are within our operational scope. In early 2021, the CGI CSR executive steering committee agreed to this roadmap. It will serve as our action plan for the entire net-zero initiative.
In addition, we assembled an internal climate working group to support and drive a range of domestic actions toward meeting our ambitious goal. Working in collaboration with the CSR executive steering committee to cascade our priorities into local climate actions, the working group provides information and progress to the committee and is comprised of local climate leaders and thought leaders from CGI in areas such as real estate and procurement.
