How Capgemini reduced energy use by 24% in 8 months
The Times of India|November 25, 2022
There are multiple large monitors at Capgemini’s energy command centre in its Bengaluru campus that show clearly how much energy is consumed by what. Among the broad categories, airconditioning of the offices consumes as much as 65% of the total energy, data centres about 30%.
How Capgemini reduced energy use by 24% in 8 months

The centre was established in March this year to track and reduce Capgemini’s scope 1 and scope 2 emissions – those greenhouse gas emissions that are completely under its control. The system uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to do that. Viswanathan Rajendran, senior director of real estate infrastructure and facility engineering services at Capgemini, says the French multinational company has been able to reduce energy consumption at its offices in India by 24% since March. That’s massive, considering more than half of Capgemini’s 3.5 lakh employees are in India, working out of some 13 facilities across the country.
