Capgemini Study Finds 68% of Executives Prioritize Climate Adaptation as Net Zero Gaps Widen
A new Capgemini Research Institute report finds that 68% of executives now say their organization actively prioritizes climate adaptation, up from 56% in 2025, yet only 15% have fully quantified the financial impact of climate-related disruptions. The fifth edition of A World in Balance: The resilience reset, based on a survey of 2,100 executives at 701 organizations with more than $1 billion in annual revenue across 13 countries, also shows the share of organizations falling behind on net zero goals rising to 11% in 2026 from 1% in 2025, with 29% saying they have postponed their net zero objectives, compared with just 8% last year. Nearly nine in 10 organizations report climate-related supply-chain disruptions, and more than seven in 10 executives say securing access to critical resources such as energy, water and materials now influences sustainability decisions more than emissions-reduction targets. Sustainability spending reached 1.04% of revenue last year, above the 0.8% initially allocated, and 83% of organizations plan to increase climate adaptation spending over the next 12 to 18 months. Cyril Garcia, Global head of Sustainability services and Corporate Responsibility at Capgemini, said climate disruptions have become the new normal and that leaders can no longer defer climate action.
Capgemini to sell US government unit to ITC Federal after ICE backlash
Capgemini said on Saturday it had entered into an agreement to sell its US subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions, to ITC Federal, a US provider of IT solutions and enterprise services to federal law enforcement, homeland security and defence agencies. The French IT giant put the subsidiary up for sale in February following controversy over a contract to supply US Immigration and Customs Enforcement with a tool designed to identify and locate foreign nationals. Capgemini said the transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks. The subsidiary represented 0.4 percent of the group's global 2025 revenue and less than two percent of its US revenue. Capgemini operates in about 50 countries and is one of France's largest listed companies.
Capgemini launches thirteenth employee share ownership plan
Capgemini announced the launch of its thirteenth Employee Share Ownership Plan, offered to approximately 97% of its employees. The plan will be implemented through a capital increase reserved for Capgemini employees for a maximum of 3,000,000 shares, equal to 1.77% of outstanding shares, and is intended to maintain employee shareholding at around 8% of Capgemini SE's share capital as the 2021 ESOP reaches its term at the end of the year. The Board of Directors of Capgemini SE, at its meeting of June 10 and 11, 2026, authorized a dedicated share buyback envelope, distinct from the €2 billion multi-year share buyback program announced on July 30, 2025, which could be used within the next 12 months to neutralize all or part of the dilutive effect of the capital increase. The reservation period will run from September 11 to 30, 2026, followed by a subscription and revocation period from November 10 to 13, 2026, with the subscription price set on November 5, 2026, and the capital increase completed on December 17, 2026. Employees may subscribe through leveraged and guaranteed subscription formulas, with hedging transactions handled by Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank over the course of the plan until December 17, 2031.
Capgemini and LIMRA Report Finds 42% of Consumers Confused by Life Insurance Policies
A new report from the Capgemini Research Institute and LIMRA finds that 42% of consumers are confused, uncertain, or unconvinced by the life insurance information they encounter, with one in four dropping out of the purchase journey before completion. The World Life Insurance Report 2027, which surveyed more than 6,100 consumers worldwide, identifies overly technical language at 37%, affordability concerns at 35%, and a perceived lack of relevance to life stage at 25% as the top reasons people walk away. While 51% of consumers plan to use generative AI tools to research and compare products, two-thirds still prefer working with a human advisor to finalize coverage, and 85% want advisor interaction at some point in their journey. The report also finds that nearly 40% of policyholders rarely hear from their insurer after purchase, and half of those who discontinue coverage do so within the first three years. Best-in-class insurers, representing only 10% of all carriers, achieved 41% higher revenue growth over the past three years and 12% lower lapse rates than mainstream peers by combining consumer-led strategies with intelligence-powered operations.
Ambarella reported fiscal second-quarter 2027 revenue of $108.1 million, up 13.2% from $95.5 million a year earlier, with record edge-AI revenue driven by growth in automotive and IoT markets and strong demand for its 5-nanometer CV75 and CV72 systems-on-chip. However, GAAP gross margin declined to 57.7% from 58.9%, and non-GAAP gross margin fell to 59.3% from 60.5%, while company-defined non-GAAP net income rose to $8.2 million from $6.4 million, aided by a $9.0 million project-termination credit. The company also signed seven-year agreements with distributor Macnica and engineering firm Capgemini to expand its indirect sales channel, and introduced its first stand-alone AI accelerator, the X7. Third-quarter guidance calls for revenue of $115 million to $124 million and non-GAAP gross margin of 59.0% to 60.0%, suggesting potential stabilization. Despite the growth, Ambarella recorded a GAAP operating loss of $8.1 million and a net loss of $6.7 million, with stock-based compensation of $22.7 million exceeding non-GAAP net income, and the company holds $272.3 million in cash and marketable securities.

AI accelerates electricity demand, prompting a new wave of grid adaptation and investment
The rapid expansion of AI-driven data centers is increasing electricity demand and making it significantly harder to predict, according to a new report from the Capgemini Research Institute. Nearly 80% of utilities expect more extreme and volatile demand patterns, while over three-quarters struggle to forecast future needs accurately. Around one in five data center power requests may never materialize, distorting forecasts and creating a capital allocation dilemma. At the same time, 60% of utilities expect AI to play a growing role in improving grid efficiency, but only 16% have implemented advanced AI-driven approaches. The report also finds that 68% of electricity executives anticipate shortages due to data-center demand outpacing supply, and more than half identify load concentration as a major obstacle to reliable service.
