NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE STATEMENT: OUR ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY

Milestones [NFPS]

We assessed the overall consistency of the Statement in • relation to our knowledge of the entire Company The procedures conducted in a limited assurance review are substantially less in scope than those required to issue a reasonable assurance opinion in accordance with the professional guidelines of the French National Institute of Statutory Auditors (Compagnie Nationale des Commissaires aux Comptes); a higher level of assurance would have required us to carry out more extensive procedures.

For the key performance indicators and other quantitative ● outcomes (1) that we considered to be the most important, we implemented: analytical procedures that consisted in verifying the correct • consolidation of collected data as well as the consistency of changes thereto; substantive tests, on a sample basis and using other selection • methods, that consisted in verifying the proper application of definitions and procedures and reconciling data with supporting documents. These procedures were conducted for a selection of contributing entities (2) and covered between 19% and all the consolidated data selected for these tests.
