CSR report (serving as statement of extra-financial performance) Being a major player in the circular economy

At its Gennevilliers site (92), in 2020 the Group invested in a new recycling line dedicated to large household appliances (washing machines, dishwashers and tumble dryers). This investment proved necessary in view of the increase in the market in the Île-de-France region, which only has one unit for this flow. The “latest generation” sorting cabin allows better recycling rates and improves working conditions for operators. The site is operated in conjunctionwith the integration company Envie, which Derichebourg Environnement has been partneredwith since 2007. Following the increase in tonnages received at the Bruyères-sur-Oise site (Val d'Oise), the Group decided to install a mobile line in parallel to the existing fixed line. This new line has been in operation since mid-July2020. Phase 1 of the fixed line was also modified to improve the working conditions of operators and increase the recycling and recovery rates thanks to a better extractionof the oils and gases present in the circuits of the Cold LHAs. An electronic dashboard provides real-time monitoringof the line's priorityperformanceindicators. Waste Management (WM)contracts The Group was also one of the pioneers for the reintegrationof WEEE into the official collectioncircuit. Accordingly, in partnership with the ECOSYSTEM and ECOLOGIC eco-organizations and under “Waste Management” contracts, the Grouphas implementedWEEE sortingoperationsfor batchesof ferrous metals intended for shredding on most of its different operating sites (140 sitesincluding17 shreddingsites). These so-called “missing” WEEE (as they are outside of the eco-organizationprocess) are reintegratedinto the official streamto be

processed correctly in compliance with current regulations, and they are reportedto eco-organizations. This activity, which complies with the French energy transition for green growth law, was initiatedin 2019 for professionalWEEEs. Again in this context, the Group entered into a partnership in September 2019 with the ECOLOGIC eco-organization to handle professionalkitchens. For the 2019/2020 fiscal year, the Group contributed to reintegrating over 55,000 metrictons of WEEE into the official processingstream, up 33%comparedto the previousfiscal year. Overall, the Group processedmore than 206,100 metrictons of WEEE in its 11 specialistfacilities in France. In line with this dynamic growth, the Group aims to increase its WEEE recyclingcapacityfor the differentstreamsby 2021/2022.

The amounts sent into the recovery stream include both the tonnages sent for energy recovery and the tonnages sent for material recovery, accordingto their gross tonnage.Every effort is made to find newways to improvetheir recovery. The increase observed over the previous fiscal year is due to the introduction of new energy recovery partnerships and to the consolidationof our existingpartnershipsfor mixed recovery. The Group is still working on an internal solution to recover shredding waste and has introduced a unit within the technical service department to develop recovery channels. Numerous tests with different equipment manufacturers and new potential outlets were conducted throughout the fiscal year. A shredder was modified and

dedicated to the processing of shredder residue in order to reach a higher recovery level and obtain a high-quality SRF (solid recovered fuel). The Group responded to a call for proposals issued by the Strategic Committee for the Channel (Comité stratégique de filière – CSF) “transformationet valorisationdes déchets”. In 2019, under the aegis of the FrenchNational IndustryCouncil (Conseil national de l’industrie- CNI), the committeeundertookwork to developthe French channel for solid recoveredfuel (SRF). This project of producing SRF from shredder residue was officially approved by the CSF on May 28, 2019 and is part of the 14 certified projectsnationwidethat will be supportedin their development.
