Governance Conscious of the strategic importance of sustainability, the Company has defined an adapted governance and organisation at the highest level. Hence, oversight has been established at the Board of Directors level with the Ethics, Compliance and Sustainability Committee (“ ECSC ”). For further information about the ECSC, see “– Corporate Governance – 4.1 Management and Control”. The ECSC is responsible for assisting the Board of Directors to oversee the Company’s: – – Culture and commitment to ethical business, integrity and sustainability; – – Ethics & Compliance programme, organisation and framework for the effective governance of ethics and compliance, including all associated internal policies, procedures and controls; and – – Sustainability strategy and effective governance to ensure that sustainability-related topics are taken into account in the Company’s strategy and objectives.

Under the Board Rules, the Board of Directors delegates the day- to-day management of the Company to the CEO, who, supported by the Executive Committee, makes decisions with respect to the management of the Company, including sustainability. The Executive Committee has the responsibility to provide top level expectations and direction while overseeing and validating the sustainability strategy. This entails validating sustainability targets including those integrated into the Top Company Objectives. The Executive Committee is supported by several committees or boards linked to the Company’s four sustainability commitments: – – the Environment Executive Steering Committee, the Inclusion & Diversity Board as well as the Product Safety Board, all chaired by EC members; – – the Steering Committees of the Human Rights and Sustainable Supply Chain Roadmaps, both sponsored by Executive Committee members. Other sustainability topics such as Health & Safety and Business Integrity are brought directly to the attention of the Executive Committee.
