CSR report (serving as statement of extra-financial performance) Reduce the Group’s environmental footprint

finalized in Germany. The Group is planning to roll them out to the Americas next year. Assessing the reduction measures shows that we have already achieved an annual reduction of 6% in consumption and 2% in CO 2 emissions; eco-driving training for all drivers by 2022. p Eco-driving brings together the issues of sustainable development (efficient use of energy) and road safety by providing employees with every solution to be implemented on a daily basis for responsible, economic and ecological driving, whilst reducing road A shared initiative will be undertaken by operations managers, route planning departments and commercial teams in order to improve how collection routes are organized and motor vehicles shared to reduce the number of unnecessary kilometers driven. Similarly, Derichebourg entered into a partnership in 2016 with Michelin Group to manage its tire stock. Accordingly, the Group has risks and fuel consumption; route planning assistance. p

chosen to place the emphasis on extending the life of tires by retreading and regrooving them, where this is possible, helping to reduce the amount of raw materials consumed compared with manufacturing a new tire. The introduction of tire pressure monitoring has also helped to reduce fuel consumption. The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with a scenario without these measures was 66.8 tons CO 2 equivalent in 2018 (Michelin data). Accordingly, through these different initiatives, by 2022 the Group wants to: keep vehicle consumption below 42 liters/100 km; p reduce the volume of diesel used; p reduce CO 2 emissions from the Transportation activity by close to p 10% compared with December 31, 2018. Monitoring of the energy performance of transportation (for the Recycling business) is carried out using the following indicators:

These indicators replace the indicator monitoring fuel consumption per ton transported as they have been the transportation activity monitoring indicators since the full implementation of the AlertGasoil ™ solution in 2019. In addition, TK'BLUE, the independent transportation rating and certification agency, has recorded significant changes in the following impacts since the last fiscal year:

As a reminder, most of the Group's subsidiaries have the benefit of river or maritime infrastructure: Marseille, Rouen, Houston (USA), Nantes, Brussels and Liège (Belgium), Karlsruhe (Germany), Strasbourg, Valenciennes, etc. This is the case for the Group’s two most recent shredding lines: Gennevilliers (on the HAROPA – Paris Ports site) and since late September 2018, the new Bassens shredding line (located on the Bordeaux Port Authority site). The Group also continues the use of rail transport. This mode of transportation is an alternative to road transport (one wagon for every two trucks). It is less developed than water transport, due more to structural reasons than any real desire on the Group’s part.

24% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; p 13% reduction in fine particulate emissions (PM2.5). p

For downstream transportation, the Group also prioritizes the use of maritime or river transportation, where possible, which is cheaper and contributes to protecting the environment. New site openings are, whenever possible, next to waterways.
