II. Governance The Sustainability – Develop & Engage department manages the global strategy and framework for community impact in the Company and supports the operations of the Airbus Foundation. A global network of community impact focal points representing the major countries where the Company operates drive local partnerships and engagement, as welI as a committee of specific topic experts who provide overarching assessment, guidance and recommendations. A corporate top sustainability objective related to community impact is set annually, with awareness and adoption supported by the Company’s transversal sustainability networks. Community Impact is also integrated into the business through a policy and processes at operational levels, including a formalised assessment and decision mechanism for corporate donation requests submitted by business lines. In addition, there are standard reporting lines to the Sustainability & Environment organisation, with top level oversight provided by the ECSC at the Company’s Board of Directors level.

The Airbus Foundation and its Endowment Fund are non-profit entities of general interest registered under French law, with specific Articles of Association that define their respective missions and remits. The strategy of the Foundation is governed by its Board of Directors and the Airbus Foundation and Airbus Foundation Endowment Fund annual reports and accounts are submitted annually to the French authorities, as required by law. III. Implementation/Activities 2023 continued to be a year of transition and evolution of the community impact framework.

The Company also focused on enabling the future, piloting new projects that contribute to social value and shape a shared value approach. Shared value aims to bring societal needs together with business opportunities and resources to create a win-win situation for all parties, which is both scalable and sustainable.
