GROUPAMA CSR POLICY

Respondingto societal issues is part of the history of Groupama,a mutual insurance company that has always been driven by its values: proximity, engagement, performance, and solidarity. the Group focuses on people and customersatisfaction,as reflected in our purpose: We are here to allow as many people as possible build their lives confidently.To do this, we rely on humane, caring, responsible communities. Our actions and measures initiatedduring the health and economic crisis in 2020 perfectly illustrate this sense of sharing and support for stakeholders. Rooted in the territories, the Groupamagroup is thereforeattentive to its environment and has a long-term vision for its actions. We believe the CSR approach is a key factor in our employees’ commitment and motivation, in innovation, operational efficiency and the reinforcementof the quality of our relationshipwith external and internal audiences. the Group has adopted a CSR plan for 2019-2021. Its objective is to mobilise as many people as possible for shared sustainable development, serving the Group’s strategic issues. The plan was constructed using a collaborative approach, teaming up the coordinators and departments of the companies, the employees (2,500 of them expressed themselves), and the elected representatives, with the ambition of further anchoring CSR in the Group’s everyday activities. The 2020 CSR review is presented in the Declaration of Extra-financial Performance. The CSR strategy is based on four commitment priorities: A caring employer committed to collective success ❯ For a number of years, beyond the quality social status (social protection, employee savings, etc.), Groupama has made many commitments as a responsible employer in line with the social issues of CSR, such as professional equality, non-discrimination, and promotionof diversity, employmentof workerswith disabilities, and quality of life at work, while at the same time increasing employees’ engagement levels. This momentum continues at the Group level and within the companies,reinforcingthe recruitmentof new profiles and the employabilityand adaptabilityof employees,in a content of strong development of digital. The biannual Group Opinion Survey assesses changes in the level of employee engagement (76% in 2018, up 3 points compared with 2016; the next poll will be conducted in March 2021). In terms of employer responsibilityduring the 2020 crisis, the key objectives were to preserve employee health, maintain team cohesion, and ensure business continuity.
