CGI Supports Gulf Coast Oil Spill Recovery Efforts with Ongoing Volunteer Work, $45,000 in Donations

Friday, Sep 03, 2010

CGI Group Inc. (NYSE: GIB; TSX:
GIB.A), a leading provider of information technology and business process
services is continuing its ongoing efforts to help victims of the BP oil
spill along the Gulf Coast with volunteer work and company matched employee
donations.

CGI has partnered with three organizations assisting with oil recovery
efforts: Bay Area Food Bank (BAFB), Baton Rouge Area Foundation (BRAF) and
National Wildlife Federation (NWF). Over the last three months, CGI members
have rolled-up their sleeves volunteering with the Bay Area Food Bank in
Bayou La Batre and Coden, Alabama, handing out more than 30,000 lbs of food
to 650 local families. CGI also matched dollars to employee donations and
combined efforts totaling $45,000 are being dispersed among the three
organizations.

CGI's Troy, AL office organized volunteer days for the company and spearhead
a day to include members from the Troy community who joined them as they
traveled along the coast and handed out food to victims affected by the oil
spill.

Wanting to assist in the recovery of the region, leaders of CGI's 50-person
team in Louisiana approached BRAF this summer to partner and match employee
donations made for relief efforts. On August 26, 2010, CGI VP and former EPA
CIO, Molly O'Neill presented NWF with a check also with funds donated by CGI
members and matched by the company.

"As a company, we are committed to giving back to the communities we live
and work in," said Donna Morea, CGI President in the US, Europe and Asia.
"I am proud our members pull together during times of need and remain
passionate about helping others."
