and external stakeholder feedback and the Company’s initiatives on emissions reduction, in particular its ambition to develop the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft by 2035. For further information, see “– 1.2.2 Environment”. The scope of this salient issue will therefore focus on the human rights risks of sourcing and integrating new technology in the transition to decarbonisation. Work on defining actions will continue in 2021. Forced and Child Labour and Other Labour Rights Following feedback from external stakeholders, and based on the size and complexity of the Company’s supply chain, this salient issue was expanded to include “other labour rights” focused on the Company’s supply chain. Key actions include reviewing the alert systems for human and labour rights, extending the scope of supplier assessments including human and labour rights and focusing on critical, rare earth and con ict materials. For further information, see “– 1.2.6 Responsible Supply Chain”. Diverse and Inclusive Workplace This salient issue is focused on the Company’s workforce and contract workers. As well as prioritising inclusion as one of the key commitments within the Company’s sustainability strategy, actions being progressed in this area include eliminating barriers to recruitment and talent development, focusing on inclusive leadership and reinforcing business ownership and accountability for Inclusion & Diversity (“ I&D ”). For further information, see “– 1.2.4(b) Inclusion & Diversity” in the next Section. “Respect human rights” was prioritised by the Company as one of the four sustainability commitments agreed by the EC and the ECSC at Board level during 2020. This also included agreement of an ambition for human rights: “to embed and advance human rights throughout our business, operations and supply chain” . Commitment to Respect Human Rights Building on the human rights commitments and expectations that have existed in various key documents for many years, including within the Airbus International Framework Agreement, signed in 2005, the Company’s Code of Conduct and the Company’s Supplier Code of Conduct, during 2020, the Company started work to map, consolidate, articulate and embed its commitments to human rights standards and principles, as well as its expectations in this respect, aligned to international human rights standards and principles including the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights, the ILO Core Conventions on Labour Standards and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. This work will continue in 2021. Grievance and Remediation During 2020, a number of actions were taken to fur ther strengthen human rights in the Company’s “SpeakUp”, investigation and remediation processes. These included reinforcing references to human rights within the Company’s OpenLine and investigation policies and clarifying the internal reporting process for human rights concerns. IV. Initiatives Prioritising Respect for Human Rights

the current management arrangements and new actions required as well as the identification of measures of effectiveness. Risks related to these salient issues were embedded into the Company’s risk portfolio in the frame of the Company’s ERM system. This work will be further developed in 2021. Impact of Products and Services on the Right to Life and Liberty Given the wide scope of this salient issue, which touches on each Division, and feedback from external stakeholders, the Company will focus attention in the first instance on its defence portfolio where potential actions include the strengthening of human rights considerations into the Company’s Defence and Space Division product lifecycle. Initial work in this area started in 2020 and included the mapping of the product lifecycle process and planning of initial integration of strengthened human rights considerations into country guidance memos that will be part of the review process of the Company’s dealings with sanctioned countries. Further actions will progress throughout 2021. Data Privacy Privacy risks in the Company exist in relation to its employees, customers and any other individuals that will be impacted by the use of its products and the management of its business. However the scope of the data privacy salient issue is focused on the risk derived from personal data being processed by the Company ( e.g. , data on employees, suppliers, etc.). The risk linked to the misuse of the Company’s products by customers (having potential impact on the privacy of individuals) will be addressed as part of the “impact of products and services” salient issue. To further deploy the Company’s privacy programme throughout the business and af filiates, Data Privacy Focal Points are nominated in the functions and af filiates of the Company (currently one focal point for every 350 employees). The Data Protection Office trains, provides methodologies to and coordinates the Data Privacy network and provides expertise to the business. The Data Protection Office manages risk by: – – deploying the Airbus Privacy Programme across the whole Company; – – providing data protection laws and regulation guidance and methodologies to the business. Promoting awareness and understanding of the risks, rules, safeguards, and rights in relation to personal data processing; – – cooperating with national data protection authorities; – – maintaining Data Subject Access Rights including the mandatory “right to be informed” and ensuring the lawful basis for processing; – – reporting and mitigating risks through the Company ERM system. Key issues under review include the transfer of data outside Europe, the impact of Brexit and cyber security. See “– Risk Factors”. The Transition to Decarbonisation This salient risk was initially “Impact of Climate Change on Livelihoods (climate vulnerable communities)”.
