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

Reducing the Group's environmental footprint 1.5

The DerichebourgGroup has implemented various actions to reduce the energy consumption of its production units. The most significant are: the installationof frequency converters on shredding lines to adjust p the energy supply to requirementsin real time; the gradual replacement of shredding unit motors by more energy p efficientmotors; the acquisition of four new shear balers equipped with frequency p convertertechnologies. Furthermore,the second phase of regulatory energy audits took place in 2019 and 2020 for all of the relevant French subsidiaries. For activitieswith the highest energy consumption,these audits are carried out by specialist companies in the energy efficiency sector. These companies are committed to meeting the requirements of the EuropeanNF EN 16247 (1 to 4) standard and will enable the Group to preparean energy efficiencyactionplan for 2022. The action plan will be monitoredalongsidethe monitoringof the new indicator defined in the CSR roadmap, i.e. the energy consumptionof the operatingsites per ton treated.

Improving the impact of our facilities 1.5.1 In July 2019,Derichebourgsigned a €130 millionloan agreementwith the European Investment Bank (EIB) in order to contribute to the long-term financing of a multi-year investment program in France in the area of recycling and circular economy. Investments under this multi-year investment program will mainly be for improving recovery rates of materials processed, adapting shredders to use the best available techniques (in the area of water treatment, smoke treatment and noise protection) and reducing the consumptionof fossil energies (trucks and handlingmachinery). Improving siteenergy efficiency 1.5.1.1 DerichebourgEnvironnementis committedto a pro-activeapproach to managing its energy consumption, notably through ISO 50001 certification in the Refinal Industries and DerichebourgUmwelt GmbH subsidiaries.

This indicator takes into account consumption of electricity and off-road diesel on sites. As gas consumption is not significant, it has not been included(except for Refinal Industries'two aluminumrefining sites) for reasons of simplicity. Refinal Industries is not included in the scope of this indicator as, on the one hand, its activity is very specific, and on the other, it is governedby ISO 50001certification. The downward trend of this indicator is primarily linked to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Indeed, the Group's facilities operated for several months at under capacity, which explains the overconsumption per ton processed.
