On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2024, Capgemini proudly reaffirms its commitment to creating an inclusive and accessible workplace for all employees, particularly colleagues with disabilities and neurodivergent individuals. This campaign highlights their ongoing dedication to fostering an environment where everyone can contribute their unique creativity and innovation through year-long initiatives, ultimately driving their collective success.
Capgemini's commitment is strengthened by the recent pledge signed by Aiman Ezzat, CEO, Capgemini which prioritizes the inclusion of persons with disabilities within their organizational framework, reinforcing their belief that an inclusive workplace is essential for the growth and success of all employees.
Throughout the year, Capgemini has collaborated with various internal teams to enhance accessibility in multiple facets of their work environment, including office spaces, digital tools, communication methods, and training programs.

Disability inclusion is central to their D&I strategy, with initiatives like #CapAbility and #NeuroAbility offering support and networking for neurodivergent and colleagues with disabilities, strengthening their inclusive culture.
