4 STATEMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Societal challenges
4.4.2.3 Data security measures To combat cyber risks and meet its data protection obligations, the Group has equipped itself with specific action plans which are reviewed at least once a year by the Risk Committees (cyber security action plan) and the Audit and Finance Committee (Reporting and GDPR action plans). The Group has structured itself around a DPO (Data Protection Owner) network, responsible for implementing the actions at each entity, and a further two specific action plans carried at Group level by the IT Systems Department and the Legal Department. The actions will be supplemented by intrusion audits conducted as part of either the internal audit plan or the IT tracking process. The Group monitors an indicator relating to the number of potential violations following incidents ( e.g. loss of PC, phishing, ransomware, etc.) and may decide to report these violations pro-actively to the competent authorities (CNIL in France, for example) if it believes there is a significant risk. To date, the CDA Group has proactively and preventively reported two incidents to the competent authorities in France and the Netherlands. These incidents could potentially give rise to customer data breaches, although they are not proven. 4.4.2.4 Involvement with local communities This chapter provides a few examples of the many initiatives taken by the sites to demonstrate their involvement with local communities. Local dialogue Regular meetings are held with the different stakeholders to take account of their needs and expectations, improve dialogue and collaborate on collective solutions or actions as needed: public partners, socio-professional partners and associations. Group subsidiaries are present or active in local associations, both those related to the environment, and owner and neighbour associations. On this last point, most of the Leisure parks organise events with the neighbourhood that are real moments of exchange. A site priority is to study and reduce the noise pollution that may be generated by its activities. All Group sites regularly measure noise, and specific measures are taken: the grooming schedule adapted according to time of day and by route, quieter snow-making machines and rollers near housing, the ski lift drive station located uphill, equipment buried below ground, show sound volume varied according to wind direction, appropriate event (festival) measures, roofing on entertainment areas, layout of the rides, informing local residents about events, taking part in conciliation Committees, etc. Involvement in education (some examples) l Parc Astérix collaborates with the ENVA (Maisons-Alfort veterinary school) on matters relating to its Delphinarium and welcomes young people from the Sport dans la ville [Sport in the city] association to introduce them to the business segments at the park. l In 2019, the Group’s real estate agencies participated in the creation of a training course on the specificities of mountain real estate. Having co-constructed the programme for third year with Inseec and another partner, and by offering students a five-month professional training course following the first semester of the course, real estate agencies are committed to training the professionals of tomorrow.
l The Ski areas promote the discovery of their careers among local schoolchildren or apprentices. l Many Group site managers are involved in professional training courses. Promoting heritage (some examples) l ADS financially supports the Les Arcs Film Festival and Music Festival. Serre Chevalier has been a partner of the altitude jazz festival since its inception, by providing packages to the musicians of the festival, with concerts and musical events in the area. l Origine Grand Massif is a quality label supported by our GMDS subsidiary. Driven by a desire to protect local values, this initiative offers over 40 local producers the opportunity to obtain an “appellation” in the farming, crafts, culture and food and drink sectors. The main objective is to bring visitors and local producers together to share special moments. Support and solidarity (some examples) Lastly, Group companies support local aid operations and social and sports partnerships: l for the third year in a row, the Group supported Sport dans la Ville by co-financing sports facilities at the foot of residential areas and by introducing young people to the Group’s careers; l the Group’s ski lift companies contribute to the financing of the French Ski Federation (FFS), regional committees and sports clubs. This money comes from the sale of Carré Neige insurance and additional patronage funding. For example, our ski areas in Savoie contributed €1.6 million, €0.62 million of which in patronage funding, to the Comité de Ski de Savoie (Savoie Ski Committee). In addition to this financial support, the clubs receive technical and logistics assistance for the preparation (snow provision, grooming machine hours, maintenance) and organisation of training and competitions (planned openings, private events). The clubs work to promote leisure skiing and identify young talents in the club, then offer them high-level training in alpine, nordic and freestyle skiing, snowboarding and telemark skiing; l the Group’s Savoie ski areas actively participate in initiatives aimed at facilitating ski access for young people in the department for more than 4,000 skier-days per year (Youth Ski Plan of the Savoie departmental Council, UNSS departmental Committee, Plan Handisport, Savoyard Association of Discovery Classes, etc.). They also participate in the Clés College programme, which gives a 50% reduction to secondary school students who attend school or live in Savoie. Similar initiatives take place in each department; l some examples of support for disadvantaged young people or sick children: operation Petits Princes in French parks in collaboration with SNELAC during the solidarity day, support of La Plagne and Serre Chevalier for the 82-4000 association to promote the discovery of high mountains for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds; collection of professional clothing for the Cravate Solidaire at Parc Astérix; Parc Astérix regularly welcomes children and families from Secours Populaire, as does Walibi Belgium through Arc-en-Ciel, which brings together close to 370 associations active in the youth sector. In November 2019, 1,700 beneficiaries of the Restos du Cœur de la Vienne and other departments of Nouvelle- Aquitaine came to spend the day at Futuroscope, invited by the Park. The sponsorship and donations over the year totalled almost €1.6 million.
