Tanneries / 1% increase in consumption in 2022 compared to 2021, 6% decrease in intensity by product over the same period The tanneries continued their work to improve energy efficiency. As a result, consumption fell sharply at the Montereau (-12%) and Vivoin (-7%) sites. At the Tanneries division level, consumption increased compared to 2021 (+1%) due to the acquisition of the Mégisserie Jullien in 2020, which increased its production capacity year on year (+9% compared to 2021). Calf tanneries also increased their production in 2022. However, at these sites, the ratios of energy consumption per leather produced improved (-12% on average). At existing facilities and during renovations or the setting up of premises, particular attention is paid to the following points: supervision of equipment by centralised technical management (GTC), replacement of production equipment with alternative equipment that has improved energy performance, thermal insulation, insulation of pipes or replacement of lighting with LED bulbs. In line with the actions identified by the energy audits that have been conducted at all tanneries, and to contribute to the Group’s carbon footprint reduction programme, the Vivoin tannery reduced its annual gas consumption by 5% by optimising the operation of its boilers. The Montereau tannery has reduced its gas consumption by 24% by optimising process water temperatures and the operation of production machines. Renovation projects for the Tanneries du Puy buildings are continuing and the Annonay tannery has launched a detailed study of its main building. The Cunéo tannery in Italy generates 13% of its electricity consumption using solar panels installed on its roofs. Farms / 11% decrease in consumption by farms in 2022 compared to 2021 Electricity is the main energy (78.7%) consumed by farms, in particular, gas is used to maintain the temperature of the tanks. In Australia, during the cold season, an additional fuel oil boiler is used to heat the water in the tanks of one of the farms. Several studies were launched to find a low‑carbon heating solution on this farm as well as to store the surplus solar energy produced on the new Australian farm and redistribute it to other farms. In 2022, the energy consumption of the Farms division (breeding, processing and inspection of hides) decreased by 11% thanks to the optimisation of water temperatures in the tanks and the relocation of the hide inspection centre to new less energy‑intensive premises. Textile / 7% increase in consumption in 2022 compared to 2021, 16% decrease in intensity by product over the same period With the strong growth in activity, the energy consumption of the Textile division (HTH) increased by 7% in absolute value compared to 2021, however efforts to manage consumption have made it possible to limit this increase by reducing consumption per unit of textile produced (-16%). This management of consumption is the result of an ambitious policy initiated in 2020 for all sites in the sector, which resulted in the performance of energy audits leading to energy saving actions.

The plan to reduce consumption for all HTH sites follows four major axes: optimisation of equipment operation (humidity regulation system at SIEGL, high‑performance fans at ATBC, presence detection for HTH lighting); s building insulation and consumption management with the introduction of monitoring software (GTC, BMS, Deepki); s phasing out of fossil fuels as energy production resources (geothermal energy, pellet boilers, photovoltaic panels); s raising employee awareness through internal communications. s Leather / 3% decrease in consumption in 2022 compared to 2021 Despite the increase in activity, total energy consumption in 2022 decreased by 3% in absolute value and the ratio by 10% compared to2021. Electricity is the main source of energy for leather goods workshops (68% of total energy consumption in 2022): lighting, air conditioning, ventilation, office equipment and sometimes heating are the main consumption items. Electricity consumption in 2022, compared to the level of activity, decreased by 4% compared to 2021. Gas is used exclusively for heating the division’s 13 leather goods workshops. Gas consumption in 2022 compared to the level of activity decreased by 19% compared to 2021. Among the key actions, the Maroquinerie de Bogny‑sur‑Meuse implemented a system to manage the operating time of several heating, ventilation and air conditioning items that use energy and made key investments (thermodynamic water heaters and LED relamping in the car park) which significantly reduced the site’s electricity (18%) and gas (33%) consumption. J3L / 11% increase in consumption in 2022 compared to 2021 J3L has a management tool that enables precise tracking and monitoring of the sites’ various energy consumptions. The installation of electricity sub‑meters, which would allow more precise control of the various processes and the implementation of targeted actions, is being studied. A commitment handbook, currently being formalised, gives an overview of the commitments made by J3L in favour of sustainable development, in particular those related to energy management. It contains the conclusions of the energy audits initiated at the end of 2020. Among the planned actions are the replacement of the fuel oil boiler at Polissage Brun with a wood boiler (-17.3 tCO eq) as well as the insulation of buildings for J3LP and Polissage Brun. As part of the energy sobriety plan, the temperature of the premises was reduced by 2° C. The shutdown of machines, electrical appliances and heating systems in the evenings and at weekends, as well as the shutdown of machines in the event of prolonged non‑use, are some of the best practices encouraged and communicated to all sites. Site lighting is being transitioned to 100% LED and the installation of motion sensors is being studied for exterior lighting. 2
