3.1.4 ASSESSMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

with the expectations of the Directors and with the Group’s issues. They believe that the Board of Directors plays its role in all its areas of competence. In terms of membership, the Directors consider that the size of the Board and the proportion of Independent Directors are adequate relative to the Company’s challenges and that the Board of Directors is sufficiently independent from the Company. The vast majority of the Directors feel that they have the information needed to participate effectively in the proceedings in a timely manner. It was emphasised that this point was being improved, in particular thanks to the summaries provided. In addition, the Directors consider that the minutes adequately reflect the discussions and decisions taken. The items requiring attention raised by the Directors allowed the Compensation and Appointments Committee to define areas for improvement, which were proposed to the Board of Directors.

Every year since 2005, the Company has assessed the operations of its Board of Directors and committees and, in this framework, contracts for an external assessment to be carried out every three years, in accordance with the recommendations of the AFEP ‑ MEDEF Code. After the external assessment, performed in 2021, the 2022 assessment was conducted internally on the basis of a questionnaire that was validated by the Compensation and Appointments Committee. The results of this assessment were then discussed in the Compensation and Appointments committee meeting of 08 March 2023 and in the meeting of the Board of Directors of 16 March 2023. With regard to the 2022 assessment, the Directors consider that the Board of Directors operates in a very satisfactory manner and that the effective discussions continue to be in line
