The Capgemini BPO Sustainability Service can be configured to incorporate CA Technologies leading eco Governance software to comprise a complete managed service. The Sustainability BPO service is part of Capgemini BPO's wider Supply Chain Management BPO services since it is Capgemini's firm view that all 'Future Supply Chains' must take account of sustainability.

Peter Walsh, Head of Sustainability for Business Process Outsourcing, Capgemini said, 'We are delighted to be providing this service to Tesco, which confirms the value and global reach of our BPO sustainability managed service.
