EURAZEO’S CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Eurazeo organized a meeting to raise the awareness of all of its employees and the CSR managers of its investments, it included a speech by a recognized expert on these issues. Lastly, a specific awareness campaign on climate change issues was organized for Eurazeo PME employees during the annual seminar. Groupe Flash rolled out a training program dedicated to CSR and the fight against corruption in 2017, through its Genius Academy e-learning platform. It includes a module devoted to “ecological behaviors”, in which employees are encouraged to act in an environmentally responsible way at work, to promote the use of public transport and to limit business travel. At the request of certain customers, it also asks its transport suppliers to take eco-driving training courses. In 2017, Péters Surgical India organized monthly training sessions on HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) issues. The courses covered such topics as water and electricity savings, prevention of pollution, identification and means of protection against chemical and biological risks. In 2017, Vignal Systems, a subsidiary of Vignal Lighting Group , organized two training sessions for its employees in the field of environmental protection. The first was devoted to waste sorting and the second to accidental chemical spills.

Expenditure, resources and measures devoted to compliance and the prevention of environmental risks and pollution No significant pollution or environmental risks have been identified in direct relationship with Eurazeo’s activity as an investor. Eurazeo did not set aside any provisions or incur any compliance expenditure during the year. Within the investments, a combined total of more than €4 million was committed to compliance work in 2017, and nearly €3 million was set aside in provision for environmental risks. Lastly, neither Eurazeo nor any of the companies in the Grenelle II law reporting scope paid any compensation in respect of environmental disputes in 2017. In the process of reviewing investment projects, due diligence on environmental issues is conducted by specialized firms or internally by Eurazeo’s CSR Department. The risks identified are factored into the investment decision and the subsequent monitoring of the investment. Consideration of environmental risks in investments is dealt with in Section 3.4, p. 186.
