Duties The Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee oversees issues relating to corporate governance and ensures the implementation, via the Company’s corporate bodies, of the principles and rules of good governance outlined in the AFEP-MEDEF Code. It may make proposals concerning changes in the functioning or powers of the Board or its internal rules of procedure. It examines the Group's commitments and policies, as well as their implementation, in terms of ethics, compliance, corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, in particular the way in which the Company takes into account questions relating to climate change, equal access to employment and equal pay and the way in which the Company implements a non-discrimination and diversity policy, in particular as regards the balanced representation between women and men on its governing bodies.
The Committee examines and gives its opinion on situations of conflicts of interest of which it has become aware or which are reported to it by the Chairman or the Board of Directors, and reports such situations to the Board. It conducts an annual evaluation of the functioning of the Board and its Committees, and every three years oversees a formal assessment entrusted to a specialist external consultant (see section 4.2.2.5 “Evaluation of the functioning of the Board of Directors and its Committees”). Each year, alongside the Appointments and Compensation Committee, it examines the individual situations of the directors according to the criteria defined by the AFEP-MEDEF Code and reports its findings to the Board. In the event of the appointment of new members to the Audit Committee, it examines, jointly with the Appointments and Compensation Committee, these members' expertise in the field of finance, accounting and statutory audit.
