Due diligence procedures for portfolio companies Eurazeo includes aspects relating to substances in the air, water and soil during acquisition due diligences as described in Section 3.1.1.2 on the criteria analyzed. In the event of actual pollution, Eurazeo identifiesthe cost of site decontaminationupstreamof the investment and/or of installing equipment to reduceor stop discharges. Following an acquisition, relevant action plans are monitored over several years, as described in the chart of CSR strategy deployment in Section 3.1.1.2. The monitoring includes the investment expenses

relating to compliance work or projects to mitigate and treat the discharges.

Finally, Eurazeo encourages the issue of certifications to reinforce and assess the environmental strategies of companies for which this is a major challenge.
