SUMMARY

faced with the challenge of renewing agricultural generations, Groupama offers farmers comprehensive support from experts (prevention, retirement, succession), ■ in savings, as part of the enhancement of the range of sustainable and responsible offers, Groupama Gan Vie launched an offer in 2023 focused on human development (education, equality, etc.) in line with our customers’ main concerns, ■ Groupama’s 50 fund was awarded the SRI label in 2023, ■ th the level of commitment to prevention is reflected in nearly 200,000 awareness ‑ raising actions, including the “Les Gestes Qui Sauvent” campaign, which exceeded 100,000 people in 2023 since its launch at the end of 2021; an extensive advice section has been posted online on groupama.fr; ■ the Group is doing its part to contribute to the ecological transition: ❯ by making sustainable investments; over the year, at the Group level, €1.2 billion in additional sustainable investments were made, bringing the total estimated investments to €5.3 billion; 91% of the Group’s assets under management (excluding unit ‑ linked assets) are managed according to ESG criteria, ■ by developing resilience offerings, such as the new format of crop insurance, including grassland insurance, in 2023 – and the contribution to climate change mitigation: insurance for renewable energy systems including photovoltaic panels (50% of installations insured by the Group), launch of insurance for low ‑ carbon projects in agriculture, doubling of the insurance portfolio for electric vehicles since 2021, and now around 14% of car repair cases using reuse parts (compared with 11% in 2022).

Groupama is committed to supporting its customers and members as they face the challenges of transition, which create new needs in terms of insurance, service, and savings, including: ❯ non ‑ commercial proactive calls again exceeded 1 million in 2023, ■ Groupama’s elected representatives and employees supported members and customers during weather ‑ related events in 2023, such as the earthquake in southwest France in June, inclement weather in the south in September, the Ciaran and Domingos storms in autumn, and floods in Pas ‑ de ‑ Calais in November, ■
