work groups. More specifically, for the supply chain, IAEG has developed the following materials for voluntary use by companies: – –a supply chain environmental survey, which the Company implemented in 2019 and which will be used as environmental assessment module, as mentioned in the section Assess above; – – an Environment Management System ( “EMS” ) implementation guideline to encourage a wider uptake of EMSs as appropriate for each supplier in a phased approach and cost effective, consistent and supportive manner; – –a definition of an Environmental Qualification Programme to help assess and develop the environmental maturity of suppliers. Under the Company’s leadership, the IAEG (initially focused on environment) extended its scope of actions to environmental, social and governance topics. In 2022, and co-led by the Company, a contract has been established between IAEG and its selected service provider to build a sectoral approach for supplier assessment which was deployed in 2023. As a co-founder of the International Forum on Business Ethical Conduct (“ IFBEC ”), the Company is supporting the application of global standards for business ethics and compliance. IFBEC members have established a Model SCoC which expresses the minimum ethical standards to be applied by suppliers throughout the aerospace and defence industries. It also encourages suppliers to go beyond legal compliance, drawing upon internationally recognised standards in order to advance in social and environmental responsibility and business ethics. All Company suppliers are now being asked to sign a confirmation of compliance with the principles of the latest version of the SCoC, or to confirm their own practices are aligned with the principles set out in this Code, and to cascade these principles throughout their own supply chains. In 2019, the Company joined the Responsible Business Alliance’s RMI, in order to further enforce activities of responsible sourcing while applying industry standards for supplier due diligence and data management in accordance with the OECD framework. In 2023, the Company extended its membership to the whole Responsible Business Alliance ( “RBA” ) initiative. Communication The Company is continuously raising awareness on its four sustainability commitments and related initiatives, both across its supply chain and own workforce, in particular via awareness sessions, presentations in regular forums or marketplaces. Different communication means are used: a toolkit which is updated annually, posters, kakemonos, a dedicated intranet website, participation in internal events promoting sustainability initiatives. Training and awareness The Procurement Academy defines positions, competences, skills, and associated training to ensure procurement employees in all Divisions are ready to face current and future challenges. Since 2022, sustainability is embedded into the Procurement competences and a dedicated “Procurement Sustainability Officer” position is in place.

To support people upskilling, on top of existing Company-wide training courses on sustainability, the Procurement Organisation implemented: – –a human rights virtual training for Procurement which was initially tested in 2022. 150 buyers and supply chain quality managers in charge of identified risky suppliers were registered in 2023; – –a substance management awareness for Procurement in order to improve the understanding of the substance regulatory framework and of the internal projects aiming at increasing the quality of the data provided by the suppliers. On top of the compulsory commitment to the SCoC (notably for health & safety and ethics & compliance), the Company provides health & safety training to its in-situ subcontractors. This training is mandatory in order to have access granted to the Company’s facilities. Since 2011, the Company has been promoting employment of disabled people by its suppliers starting with a particular focus on France. Disability-friendly companies often take part in the call for tender process either through direct offer or partnership. The procurement volume with disability-friendly companies has been multiplied by five over the decade going along with the development of the disability-friendly companies’ ecosystem. In 2023, the sourcing volume with disability-friendly companies is around € 68 million of annual turnover which represents a 25% increase compared to 2022. Around 70 disability-friendly companies are working with the Company to date. The Company will continue to develop business with disability-friendly companies either through direct contracting or partnerships or subcontracting, primarily in France and then also in Spain and Germany. In addition, the Company is actively developing inclusion awareness. For instance, in November 2023, the Company organised a (Dis)Ability forum in Toulouse with 41 disability friendly companies and five strategic suppliers for the Company. Around 350 people attended this event. In the frame of the Handicap Mission, the Company has signed in April 2023 a partnership with the GESAT, the economical network of the French Disability Friendly Companies, in order to develop further the subcontracted As part of the Company’s roadmap on circularity, a plastic-free supply chain project was launched in 2019 and extended to production in 2021 within the Company’s Defence and Space Division. The aim of this project is to reduce, reuse and recycle single-use plastic waste and packaging in the Division’s scope of involvement by 2025. The Division managed to reduce the use of single-used plastic by 73% in logistics (2023 versus 2020 baseline) and by 16% in production (2023 versus 2021 baseline) at all sites in 2023. This achievement has been possible through different actions such as the implementation of plastic-free alternatives (eg. tape) or improved processes, including the use of recycled material, for packaging.
