The target has been achievedfor the first time this year. In addition, the number of complaints received during the year was also down sharply (down 63% from the previous year) with a total of 13 complaintsrecorded. In order to facilitate and thus make the reporting and processing of complaints even more reliable, it was decided to use the new QHSE intranet,whichwill allow for centralizedmonitoring. The future Group procedure for managing complaintswill specify this new structurein 2021. In addition, various actions are carried out on a daily basis at the Group’s operating sites to create ties with neighbors and improve site integrationinto the local landscape. Several sites (Athis-Mons, Bruyères-sur-Oise,Gennevilliers, Vitre, etc.) regularly organize school visits or open house days on the theme of recycling.

The Groupmarkedthis commitmentby signing the FrenchBusinessClimate Pledge in August 2019. Several subsidiarieshave already begun defining their carbon trajectory aimed at contributingto carbonneutrality.

To address the challengeof global warming,the Grouphas undertaken to implementthree key steps: measuringits greenhousegas (GHG) emissions; ●

reducingthem; ● offsettingthem. ●

MEASUREMENT Greenhouse gas emissions are calculated under Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions associated with energy), accounting for 169,221 metric tons of CO 2 equivalent for the fiscal year 2019-2020. The Group’sgreenhousegas emissionscan be brokendown into: electricitypurchased:18,787 metrictons CO 2 equivalent; ● consumption of fossil fuels related to the facilities: 88,593 metric ● tons CO 2 equivalent; fuel consumption related to travel: 61,841 metric tons CO 2 ● equivalent. 52.4% of GHG emissions are related to on-site energy consumption (excludingelectricity)and 36.5%related to transportation. These emissions increased by 20.3% compared to the previous fiscal year in absoluteterms. This increase is related to the acquisitionof the two aluminumand lead refineries in Spain that use gas for their production tools (refining furnaces). On a like-for-like geographical basis, greenhouse gas emissionsdecreasedby 8.4%.
