Presentation of the Group and its activities Strategy and objectives

Strategy and objectives 1.4

The Group’s strategy in the Recycling 1.4.1 business: “A dense network” The Group is currently the fourth largest European actor in terms of revenue, behind EMR, TSR, and Chi-Ho Environmental Group (Scholz). The Group’s ambition is to move up one place in the next five years, whether through organic or external growth. The acquisition of Ecore should make it possible to achieve, or even exceed, this ambition. The strategy to support this ambition is as follows: consolidate our position as leading supplier in steel and metallurgy by delivering products in line with customer specifications and expanding our customer base, especially for ferrous scrap metal; implement the best sorting technologies available, so that the full added value of the various products is maintained, and reduce the share of residue headed to landfill; have a management team that implements the same strategy uniformly throughout the Group, and train employees; update the Group’s IT tools while leaving intact the main feature, that make it one of the most relevant tools in the market (knowledge of inventory and real-time margins at all Group sites); develop niche businesses where there are fewer players, such as induced heavy metals plant, aluminum or lead refining, and cold preparation of mixtures for steel mills that produce stainless steel. The Group also seeks to develop additional sorting for the non-ferrous metals that result from the shredding process. Ultimately, the Group aims to earn 20%-25% of revenue from the Recycling business in these segments; expand the collection network, in France and abroad by being present in each country as either a national or regional leader and explore external growth opportunities over the long term. The Group is well positioned to be a consolidator for a market at cyclical lows.

The Group’s strategy in Multiservices 1.4.2 in the light of new challenges: “A strategy of innovation and digitalization” The markets in which Derichebourg Multiservices operates are growing rapidly and are starting to undergo profound changes. The development of digital. Technological progress will enable the development of new and better performing tools. This is also the case for building maintenance, whether preventive or repairs. Digital tools represent an opportunity to move upmarket by switching to increased building maintenance. At the same time, the production of occupancy data will continue to grow with regard to energy consumption as well as for occupant services. More stringent environmental requirements have impacted the energy efficiency market, which has been growing steadily for several years, driven by renovations caused by the fight to limit global warming. Growing demand for outsourcing. In order to focus on their core business, companies find it increasingly necessary to outsource part of their operational activity to take advantage of the skills and management of others and have better flexibility and cost control for their economic structure. Emerging emphasis on well-being at work. This trend is changing the Multiservices market and requiring us to make new customized offers for our customers. It has become necessary to move from being a service provider to incorporating service excellence, for both end users and our customers.
