b. Health and Safety I. Introduction

the global presence of competent professionals, to support a consistently high standard of health and safety management throughout the Company, including all necessary measures for the identification, evaluation and elimination or mitigation of health and safety risks. In 2020, the Company has needed to commit considerable health and safety efforts to the management of COVID-19 pandemic issues. This has restricted the resources available for the development of our global aspiration of ISO45001 based management systems. However, work has continued in this regard at the corporate level, albeit more slowly and the commitment remains unchanged. Currently about one third of the Company’s core entities are already ISO45001 certified, or are OHSAS18001 accredited and are progressively transferring to ISO45001. III. Risk Management The health and safety function has naturally taken a leading role in the COVID-19 crisis management. Together with other Company functions, such as procurement, facility management and site management teams; experts from the medical, industrial hygiene and safety teams have defined and coordinated the measures necessary to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. To mitigate the risks, the following key actions have been performed: – – providing guidance on the core barrier measures supported by awareness campaigns and material including posters, videos and e-learning courses; – – securing distancing rules and other controls in buildings and common areas; – – purchasing and distributing surgical masks and digital thermometers; – – supporting infection testing activities, both on and off-site; – – following-up COVID-19 positive cases and close contacts; – – reiterating and reinforcing the mental health support by providing, for example, employee Helplines and comprehensive guidance for maintaining both mental and ergonomic health while remote working.

The Company’s philosophy is that the protection of people is not only about compliance, it is an ethical and commercial imperative. The Company wants to be a company where the safety, health and welfare of people is valued as an integral part of our business sustainability. It therefore strives to maintain world class standards of health and safety. In 2020, theCompany has pursued health and safety performance improvements in our top company objectives, continuing our journey to ensure that everyone feels responsible for the health and safety of themselves and others.

The Policy applies company-wide to Airbus commercial aircraft activities, the Company’s Helicopters Division and Defence and Space Division, including affiliates in which Airbus has a controlling holding.
