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

route planningassistance p A shared initiativewill be undertakenby operationsmanagers,route planning departments and commercial teams in order to improve how collection routes are organized and motor vehicles shared to reduce the numberof unnecessarykilometersdriven. Similarly, Derichebourg entered into a partnership in 2016 with Michelin Group to manage its tire stock. Accordingly, the Group has 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 manufacturinga new tire. The introductionof tire pressuremonitoring

has also helped to reduce fuel consumption. The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with a scenario without these measurementswas 59 metric tons of CO 2 equivalent in 2019 (Michelin data). Accordingly, through these different initiatives, by 2022 the Group wants to: keep vehicle consumptionbelow42 liters/100 km; p reduce the volumeof diesel used; p reduce CO 2 emissions from the Transportation activity by close to p 10%comparedwith 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 indicatormonitoringfuel consumptionper metric ton transported, as they have been the transportationactivity monitoringindicators since the full implementationof the AlertGasoil ™ solutionin 2019. These indicatorscould not be measuredover the full year last year; the value presentedwas that as of September 30,2019. The measurement is now completedover the fiscal year and have been able to restate the 2018/2019value to compare it to that obtained this year. A very slight downward trend was therefore been noted, due in particular to the increased power of the new trucks. This power is now limited to the minimum. For downstream transportation, the Group also prioritizes the use of maritime or river transportation,where possible, which is cheaper and helps to protect the environment. New site openings are, whenever possible,next to waterways.

As a reminder,most of the Group's subsidiarieshave access to river or maritime infrastructure, including: Marseille (Purfer), Rouen and Valenciennes (Revival), Houston (DerichebourgRecycling USA), Nantes (AFM Recyclage),Brussels and Liège (DerichebourgBelgium), Karlsruhe (DerichebourgUmweltGmbH) and Strasbourg(Eska). 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 BordeauxPort Authoritysite). The Group also continues the use of rail transport. This mode of transportationis an alternativeto road transport (one wagon for every two trucks). It is less developed than water transport, due more to structuralreasons than any real desire on the Group’spart.
