NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE STATEMENT: OUR ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our industrial facilities and offices [NFPS]
Using renewable energy at BIC facilities Electricity consumption at BIC facilities accounts for 8% (1) of the Group’s total emissions. Through the commitment "Writing the Future, Together" – #2 Acting Against Climate Change, BIC aims to use 100% (2) renewable electricity by 2025. Building on its experience, BIC established a roadmap for this goal. This roadmap reflects a strategy in which each country or facility reviews its opportunities for sourcing renewable electricity, consistent with their regulatory and operational constraints. In keeping pace with the frequent market and regulatory changes affecting this sector, BIC is focusing on renewable energy certificates (3) , green contracts and long-term Power Purchase Agreements as well as electricity production potential of certain facilities. More specifically, in 2021: in France, BIC purchased renewable energy certificates ● (Guarantees of Origin - GoO) for all its factories plus the Clichy headquarters. This means that all BIC ® products manufactured in France were produced using renewable electricity;
in Greece, GoO certificates have been purchased for all the ● BIC Violex facility’s electricity consumption since 2016; in Spain, the BIC Iberia and BIC Graphic Europe facilities have ● been using renewable electricity through the purchase of certificates (GoO) since 2018; in the United States, the purchase of renewable wind energy ● certificates (US RECs) covers the energy needs of most American facilities; in Brazil, the Manaus facility has been using wind energy since ● 2018 through the purchase of iREC certificates; in Mexico, BIC launched a tender for the purchase of ● long-term renewable energy (Power Purchase Agreements), thereby specifically supporting the development of new infrastructure; in Manaus (Brazil), solar panels have been installed; ● in South Africa, the purchase of GoO certificate covers all the ● factory’s consumption; since 2018, 100% of the lighter factories have been powered ● by renewable electricity, and research is underway to develop the self-sufficiency of the facilities (recovery of waste heat, development of photovoltaic and solar thermal energy, etc.); the Cello Stationery Products site has installed solar panels ● since 2019.

Location-based. (1) Initial Writing the Future, Together – #2 Acting Against Climate Change commitment of 80% renewable energy was achieved in 2020 therefore (2) a new target of 100% was established. Electricity generated from biomass (including biogas), geothermal, solar, water (including hydro) and wind power is considered renewable. (3)
