Capgemini has taken a major step toward sustainable operations in India by transitioning cafeteria kitchens across its campuses from Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to Bio-CNG. Implemented in 2024, the initiative reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to integrating environmentally responsible practices into its daily operations.
Bio-CNG, a renewable fuel derived from organic waste, is produced through a process known as anaerobic digestion. In this process, biodegradable materials are broken down to generate methane-rich gas, which is then purified and compressed for commercial use. By adopting this alternative fuel, Capgemini is promoting a cleaner energy model while reducing dependence on conventional fossil fuels.
The transition has been supported by the installation of dedicated gas bank infrastructure across its facilities, ensuring safe and efficient operations. This shift enables cafeteria kitchens to operate using renewable energy while maintaining consistency and reliability in daily functions.
The initiative is rooted in the principles of a circular economy, where organic waste is converted into a valuable energy resource. By utilizing Bio-CNG, Capgemini is contributing to waste reduction and resource optimization, aligning its operational practices with broader environmental goals.
Capgemini’s operations in India already run entirely on renewable energy, demonstrating significant progress in its sustainability journey. The company continues to explore innovative solutions to further reduce its carbon footprint and enhance energy efficiency across its campuses.
A key component of this strategy is the Energy Command Center, a digital platform developed to monitor and optimize energy consumption using advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT). This system enables real-time insights and improved energy management, supporting the company’s sustainability objectives.
Capgemini’s Bengaluru campus has achieved a notable milestone by becoming the first corporate campus in India to receive the ‘Net-Zero Energy – Platinum’ certification from the Indian Green Building Council. This recognition reflects the campus’s ability to generate as much energy as it consumes, setting a benchmark for sustainable infrastructure.
In addition, campuses located in Hinjewadi, Talawade, and Airoli have also been awarded the same certification, highlighting their strong performance in energy efficiency and reliance on renewable electricity. These achievements underscore Capgemini’s focus on building environmentally responsible workplaces.
With a global presence spanning more than 50 countries and a workforce of over 420,000 professionals, Capgemini continues to deliver technology-driven transformation solutions across industries. The company combines expertise in strategy, engineering, and digital innovation to help organizations adapt to evolving business environments.
The adoption of Bio-CNG across its Indian campuses represents another step in Capgemini’s broader sustainability agenda. By embedding renewable energy solutions into everyday operations, the company is reinforcing its commitment to responsible growth and environmental stewardship while contributing to a more sustainable future.
