Capgemini has transitioned its cafeteria kitchens across offices in India from Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to nature-based Bio-CNG (biogas), as part of an initiative implemented in 2024 to advance sustainable operations. Bio-CNG is a renewable fuel produced from organic waste through anaerobic digestion, where biodegradable waste is converted into methane-rich gas that is purified and compressed for use in commercial kitchens. The transition is supported by dedicated gas bank infrastructure, enabling a safe and seamless shift from conventional fuels.
By adopting Bio-CNG for cooking operations across its campuses, Capgemini is enabling a cleaner and more sustainable energy model for its cafeteria infrastructure. The initiative supports a circular economy approach by converting organic waste into usable energy, while reducing reliance on conventional fossil fuels.
This initiative aligns with Capgemini’s broader environmental commitments and its focus on embedding sustainability into everyday operations. By integrating renewable energy alternatives into campus infrastructure, the company continues to strengthen its efforts towards reducing its carbon footprint and advancing circular economy practices.
Capgemini’s facilities in India operate on 100% renewable energy, reflecting the company’s progress in transitioning its operations toward cleaner energy sources. Capgemini’s Energy Command Center (ECC), a global first initiative implemented in India, is a digital platform that leverages IoT to monitor and optimize energy consumption across campuses in India. Capgemini’s Bengaluru campus became the first corporate campus in India to receive the ‘Net-Zero Energy – Platinum’ certification from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) for generating at least as much energy as it consumes. Furthermore, its campuses in Hinjewadi, Talawade, and Airoli have also been awarded the IGBC Net Zero Energy Platinum certification, recognizing their strong energy performance and use of 100% renewable electricity.
