08:25 AM EST, 03/06/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CGI (GIB-A.TO) on Thursday said it has been awarded the Sustainable IT label - Level 2 certificate, covering its operations in France as well as Luxembourg, Morocco, Romania and Switzerland.

CGI, which was awarded the Level 1 label in 2022, is the first digital services company with over 5,000 employees to get the Level 2 label.

The Sustainable IT label is based on guidelines developed by the Institut du Numerique Responsable, a think tank working to raise awareness of responsible digital business, in partnership with the French government and the World Wildlife Fund. Numerique Responsable recognizes companies that adopt ethical and ecologically responsible practices.

"Obtaining the level 2 Numerique Responsable label demonstrates our ongoing commitment to a more responsible digital technology," says Caroline de Grandmaison, President France and Luxembourg at CGI. "It highlights both the concrete initiatives we have already put in place, such as training 9,000 employees in eco-design, and our close collaboration with major customers, including EDF, in developing environmentally-friendly solutions."

The company's shares were last seen down US$1.45, to US$102.30, in pre-market New York trading.
