4 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR) Declaration of Extra ‑ financial Performance

4.2.6 SUBCONTRACTING AND SUPPLIERS

Focus on 2023 A three ‑ part plan was developed collectively by G2S, the regional mutuals, and various subsidiaries: as part of the adaptation of the requirements of the Sapin 2 law relating to the ethical assessment of third parties, a partner assessment portal (PEP’s) has been made available to Group companies in order to assess the integrity of non ‑ customer third parties before entering into a relationship. The issue of the implementation of the Sapin 2 law–the fight against corruption and influence peddling–is addressed in the next point. ❯ incorporating CSR into calls for tenders – a step completed since February 2023, with the inclusion of sustainability in calls for tenders: a questionnaire containing nine standard questions, with specific questions depending on the sector, is sent to candidates; noted that in 2023, the supplier CSR charter was completely rewritten, incorporating reinforced elements of vigilance and mentioning the whistleblowing right for service providers; ❯ the deployment of “inclusive purchasing” and the use of STPA companies – a step completed in June 2023: the Group Purchasing Department has put its Sourcing Showcase online on Sharepoint (catalogue of STPA service providers for all Group players, as well as a section on how to take CSR criteria into account in a call for tenders and contracts); ❯ CSR assessment of suppliers: started in 2022 and still ongoing. Assessing our suppliers over time – with regular campaigns based on questionnaires, evaluations, and action plans – on their CSR commitments reduces supplier risks and allows us to develop an interactive relationship with them and thus make progress with these stakeholders. ❯ Within the Group procurement WG, a workshop was set up, including G2S, the regional mutuals, and the French subsidiaries, to choose a common solution for the companies. In 2023, the AFNOR ‑ ACESIA solution was chosen and will be activated in the coming years. The solution will be rolled out gradually, initially with strategic suppliers (60% of the Group’s total expenditure, excluding insurance purchases). which particularly favours long ‑ term relationships with SMEs, incorporation of CSR criteria into the selection of suppliers, and consideration of the territorial responsibility of a large group; a “CSR” clause is inserted into the contracts. Clauses relating to the fight against corruption and influence peddling and the prevention and management of conflicts of interest are provided; ❯

Risk of negative environmental and social/ societal impacts from subcontractors and suppliers The Group is a producer of services, using commercial buildings. Purchases are made mainly in the following areas: IT and telecommunications, intellectual services (strategy consulting, HR consulting, training, marketing, travel, etc.), general resources (building management as a whole: construction, occupant services, etc.), software and insurance purchases. Dealing with this risk involves taking social and environmental issues into account in our purchasing policy and factoring their responsibility in these areas into our relations with suppliers. Risk control levers the Group ethics charter incorporates the supplier relationship and a purchasing ethics charter has been added to the internal rules of Groupama Assurances Mutuelles. It discusses three aspects in particular: consideration of methods of manufacture of materials, the behaviour of suppliers in respect of these methods of manufacture, and the supplier’s compliance with the labour law and the rules of the ILO; ❯ in our calls for tenders, we ask our suppliers, in connection with the “supplier CSR charter” or specific contractual clauses, to declare whether they respect the principles of the ILO, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Charter of the Global Compact (working conditions, respect for the environment, ethics); ❯ the integration of the CSR approach in the choice of new suppliers (adjustment of our procurement line with the sustainability approach); for example, 100% of our calls for tenders will include CSR criteria with a weighting ranging from 5% to 30% of the overall rating; ❯ Groupama, for the suppliers it works with, meets the obligation of vigilance by obtaining the documents provided for in the texts; ❯ there is a written policy on outsourcing of activities; ❯ Groupama organises GDPR training for buyers and employees (for example, 100% of Group purchasing department’s buyers have been trained); ❯ Groupama has signed the intercompany charter of 2010 (which became the responsible supplier relations charter ), ❯ (1)
