 apprenticeship;  gender balance.

of our French companies. Of course, the German system, which has always been very supportive of apprenticeships, produces a signi fi cant number of apprentices. But it is the widespread expansion in our companies in France that has enabled this progress for the last few years. A comprehensive approach to the topic, which starts in March and April to prepare for the following school year, enables us to identify the skills wewish to bring into our companies. Naturally, we also try to hire best young people whenever job opportunities arise. For 2020/2021 and beyond The four indicators monitored will continue to be measured. The absenteeism target rate remains at 3% . The target accident severity rate has been lowered to 0.3 . The frequency rate 1 target has been lowered to 10 , but above all a the frequency rate 2 target is now set at 20 . The apprenticeship rate target has been increased to 3.5% for the 2021/2022 fiscal year (compared with 3%) so as to continue our commitments as a socially responsible company.

Explanation of changes over time:

With regards to absenteeism The absenteeism rate was very slightly worse. It rose from 2.9% to 3.4%. The target was 3%. That was an ambitious target, but the year was marked by the Covid-19 crisis. All companies have absenteeism action plans. With regards to severity and frequency rates The two occupational accident rates, now tracked for years, continue to fall. Efforts must now be as focused on more vulnerable groups, especially seasonal and temporary workers. The inferior rates there, even if they fall within the norms of our industry, have persuaded us to implement a suitably targeted action plan. The FR2 monitoring plan is monitored monthly at the highest level of the Group, and action plans are adapted to the context of each plant. Concerning apprenticeship The improvement in our indicators in the work-study area and especially apprenticeship came about largely through the work
