MANAGEMENT OF CSR RISKS 2.5.3 RELATED TO THE COMPANY’S ACTIVITIES, ITS INVESTMENTS AND SUPPLY CHAIN CSR risk identification and analysis Introduction Eurazeo may be concerned by risks that could affect its investment activity. An internal control and risk management system has been established. It is led by a dedicated department under the supervision of the Executive Board, and serves to identify, prevent and limit the impact of these key risks. CSR is an integral part of risk assessments conducted.

To achieve its objective, Eurazeo ensures the deployment of actions: for Eurazeo, as a company in its own right; • for Eurazeo as an investor; • for Eurazeo’s investments and suppliers. • Risk-related actions carried out at Eurazeo as a company (with 101 employees based in France, the United States, Luxembourg and China) as well as those carried out as part of its investment activity are described in several sections of this document: section 3.4 Risk management, internal control and main risk • factors, p. 186; section 2.1 CSR in investment policy, p. 90. • This Section 2.5.3 focuses on the risks associated with Eurazeo’s supply chain and its investments.
