A proportion of variable pay for executives and “Level IV” leaders is tied to the achievement of the Company Lost Time Injury Frequency rate target. Lost Time Injury Frequency rate performance also impacts success share payout made to employees. (1) For the Lost-Time Injury (LTI) Frequency Rate scope, please see footnotes in paragraph IV. – Health & Safety Performance – Graph 1. below. For the LTI Frequency Rate – commercial aircraft business scope, see same section. (2) Work related deaths are treated individually and are not included in the Severity Rate (3) 2022 Severity Rate figure of 0.046 amended to 0.117 following a change of calculation methodology related to the allocation of lost time days to a reporting period and so enabling comparison with the 2023 figure. (4) Near-Miss reports may include safety observations in some domains. (5) The reporting period for training related metrics is from 1 October to 30 September. Some training may be repeated but not every year, causing fluctuations in annual training hours. (6) The mental health consultations scope is Company’s commercial aircraft activities, Airbus Helicopters and Airbus Defence and Space in France, Germany, Spain and United Kingdom, excluding affiliates, including calls by employees’ family members.

II. Governance The Company has updated and re-issued its Company-wide health and safety policy, which takes into account ISO 45001 and was jointly authorised by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Human Resources Officer (“ CHRO ”). This policy reaffirms the commitment to the protection of people, particularly vulnerable populations, as well as the business. It clearly states the Company’s Zero-Harm aspiration and the role of leaders in the journey to a culture in which everyone takes appropriate responsibility for their own safety and that of others. This conspicuous dedication underpins the Company-wide work to improve health and safety performance. The Company Occupational Health and Safety (“ OHS ”) Governance Board has also continued to stimulate improvements. Chaired by the CHRO, the Governance Board met twice in 2023. Topics supported by the Governance Board included the health and safety policy, the ambitions for employee wellbeing support, the management of supplier health and safety risks, and the goal of extending the Company’s coverage of health and safety management systems certified to ISO 45001. A number of management documents have been issued or revised in support
of the policy and the ISO 45001 ambition. These include the “Operational Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Function Organisation Manual”, the “Incident Management” method, and the “Supplier and Contractor Health and Safety Management” method. The Function Organisation Manual describes the structure of resources in the function, the governance of occupational health and safety management and the interface with other functions of the Company. To support the globally collaborative approach for a harmonised management system, Regional Heads of Environment, Health and Safety have been appointed in 2023 in North America and in the Asia Pacific region, complementing the EHS Focal Points nominated for Africa, Middle East and India. Whilst ISO 45001 certification coverage has slightly increased, approximately one third of the Company’s entities in home countries and one quarter of its employees are currently covered by a certified health and safety management system. Work progresses steadily to increase this scope because certification helps to mitigate physical, reputational and financial risks.
