The coverage rate for Eurazeo was 100% in 2017; for Eurazeo and its investments, it was 76-87% in 2017.

Waste recycling Eurazeo recycled four metric tons of waste in 2017, representing 38% of the total amount produced. At its Gerardmer site, MK Direct ’s Linvosges brand reuses waste fabrics from its production. Pallets in good condition are reused internally; others are donated are donated for use in heating. Furthermore, all waste from packaging (plastic, cardboard, ties) and office activities (paper, plastic bottles) is recycled. In 2017, Linvosges reused 90% of its non-hazardous waste. On Orolia ’s Lanham site (United States), all existing waste streams (paper, packaging, plastics, metals, cables) are sorted and processed by a specialist recycling company. In addition, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) such as computers is recycled by a local computer company. Waste prevention, reduction and disposal measures Paper is the biggest source of waste for Eurazeo . According to ADEME statistics, an employee in the services industry in France produces between 120kg and 140kg of waste on average each year in his or her place of work, of which between 70% and 85% is paper and cardboard. Eurazeo collects and recycles its main sources of waste, such as paper, batteries and cans. In 2014, the collection and recycling of coffee capsules was also initiated. In 2017, more than five metric tons of paper were collected and recycled by Eurazeo and Eurazeo PME. The environmental impact of this initiative is equivalent to saving 90 trees, more than 150,000 liters of water and 2,775 kg of CO 2

equivalent. Eurazeo encourages its employees to use paperless documents and to limit printing. It has also implemented a paperless system for pay slips and other company documents for all employees. The installation of a microfiltration system to purify tap water directly has allowed Eurazeo to eliminate the use of plastic bottles. The waste incinerator at the Novacap site in Yangzi (China) recovers heat and generates steam that is consumed at the site. Over the last 16 months, 3,900 metric tons of waste have been recovered, producing approximately 40 metric tons of steam every day. Novacap has also invested in a new bicarbonate production unit in Singapore that incorporates the principles of circular economy: optimized process to reduce water consumption by almost 90%, • reduce CO 2 emissions by almost 90% and drastically reduce liquid and solid emissions; CO 2 consumption provided by a partner of the industrial platform • as raw material (avoids 25,000 metric tons of CO 2 equivalent). Measures to combat food waste At Léon de Bruxelles , orders of mussels are managed on the basis of a consumption indicator determined based on the origin of the product and activity. Deliveries are made near daily, thereby ensuring that customers receive fresh mussels, while limiting losses. Work on business forecasts allows better management of the quantities ordered, on all the products. In addition, bonuses paid to restaurant managers are determined in part on the basis of respect for actual raw material consumption compared with theoretical consumption.
