General environmental policy (a) Aware of its responsibility in terms of indirector direct impacts: the Group has developed incentives with regard to the ❯ environment with its customers and suppliers for several years, through its insurance offerings, its prevention and awareness actions, its SRI products,and its purchase contracts; furthermore, we are convinced that we can also improve our ❯ direct impacts particularly by reducing our CO 2 emissions, our paper consumption,etc. We are therefore continuingour efforts to achieve thegoals that we haveset in this area. By virtue of our insurance business, the direct impacts of companies of the Group on the environment are limited: our businesses do not constitute threats to biodiversity, water or soil use. However, we have developed a policy to reduce our consumption (paper, water, energy) and our CO 2 emissions, motivated at the Group level by the CSR Department, in collaboration with Groupama Supports & Services (G2S). In addition to these in-house commitmentsand informingemployees, the Group is aware of the role it can play in raising awareness about the protection of the environment, among its various stakeholders andparticularlyamong its members andcustomers.
