Presentation of the Group and its activities Environmental Services business

Management and distribution of end-of-life vehicles (collection, processing and monitoring of materials) through its ECO-VHU subsidiary for automotive manufacturers The Derichebourg Group has a network of over 300 approved dismantling plants in France (internal or third-party) enabling it to fulfill territorial network requirements, thereby putting the Group in a favorable position to sign framework contracts with car-makers and importers. Treatment of by-products from steel mills and other industries The Group performs customized services such as the preparation of bailed ferrous scrap metal, which is used as cooling chutes. Collection of paper, cardboard, common industrial waste The Group provides the customers in its regional network with collection and sorting services for common industrial waste, paper, and cardboard. The Revival subsidiary in Noisy-le-Sec operates a site in the Paris region, with a processing capacity of 88,000 t/year, which fits neatly into the urban landscape. Public Sector Services business 1.2.2 This part of the Group’s business generates approximately €153 million in revenue. It operates in France and Canada. The efficient management of household waste and urban cleaning is a major challenge for local authorities. It determines the quality of life of citizens and the fulfillment of economic, social and environmental obligations that are an increasing burden on them. Poly-Environnement (France) and Derichebourg Canada handle all types of household waste and their collection processes: traditional and selective (glass, newspapers and magazines, household packaging, green waste, paper/cardboard, etc.), both door-to-door and by voluntary drop-off. These subsidiaries also collect roadside waste and large items, manage several household waste materials recovery facilities and transport waste to treatment and recycling facilities. Poly-Environnement offers to manage all aspects of local authorities’ urban operations and cleaning (street sweeping, cleaning contaminated soil, public waste bins and containers, graffiti removal, etc.). Poly-Environnement’s subsidiaries also provide a door-to-door collection service for household and similar waste in six of the 10 Paris districts ( arrondissements ) where waste collection is operated privately, and collection of household waste in three districts in Marseille (the 2 nd , 15 th and 16 th ). After the end of the fiscal year, Poly-Environnement renewed its Paris household waste collection contracts for six years. It also renewed the Plaine-Communes contract, for which an additional work package was won. Public contracts are usually for a period of five to seven years, and it is common for local authorities to request new equipment when they renew them. The Group responds to tenders that give significant weight to technical considerations, thus making it possible to highlight the quality of the service and the resources deployed by the tenderer, not only the lowest price, in order to obtain a solid return on capital employed. This business employs about 1,600 employees.

During the 2020-2021 fiscal year the Group processed 626,600 metric tons of non-ferrous metals, an increase of 13.4% compared to the previous fiscal year. The table below breaks down the sales of non-ferrous metals (including stainless steel waste) by country of destination:

Others 8%

Italy 8% USA 3%

Spain 26%

China 8%

Germany 11%

France 15%

Benelux 21%

The share of non-ferrous metal volumes exported to China is around 2%. Services provided 1.2.1.2.3 The Group also provides services (around €129 million/year) in the following areas: Treatment of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) In the context of the implementation of the directive on Extended Producer Responsibility, France has chosen to entrust the collection and processing of goods marketed in 15 segments to collective schemes. Since the creation of these segments, the Derichebourg Group has positioned itself with collective schemes that handle WEEE, mainly for processing activities. The Group processes 225,100 metric tons per year of WEEE over 11 sites. The Group has chosen to be present in only two out of five WEEE streams: other non-refrigerated large household appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, stove tops); large refrigerated household appliances (refrigerators and freezers). For the processing of large cooling household appliances, Derichebourg Environnement has teamed up with one of the international leaders in the ecological processing of refrigeration products containing CFCs or HFCs in their refrigeration circuits or insulation. A 50%-owned subsidiary called Fricom Recycling has been created with this partner, Oeko-Service (better known under the name of SEG). In 2019, in Bassens (Gironde), the Group installed the first French platform able to recycle both refrigerators and hot water tanks, both containing fluorinated gases representing high potential elements in terms of global warming; the Group has decided to no longer process small household appliances because of the risk of fire caused by the presence of lithium-ion batteries. Derichebourg supports collective schemes in the achievement of their objectives to increase volumes collected and recovered. WEEE treatment streams are steadily growing.
