RULES OF PROCEDURE

3.6.2.2

Before each CAG‑CSR Committee meeting, Committee members are sent, in good time, with reasonable lead time and subject to confidentiality requirements, a file containing documentation on items on the agenda requiring prior analysis and review. The Executive Vice‑President Corporate Development and Social Affairs, and the Group Director of Human Resources, systematically participate in the meetings of the CAG‑CSR Committee. The Group Director of Sustainable Development participates at least twice a year for subjects relating to CSR. The secretarial duties of CAG‑CSR Committee meetings are provided by the Director of Corporate Law and Stock Exchange Regulations and Compliance Officer, and secretary of the Supervisory Board, under the responsibility of the Chairwoman, or by a member of the CAG‑CSR Committee appointed as rapporteur by the Chairwoman. At the first Supervisory Board meeting following a meeting of the CAG‑CSR Committee, the Chairwoman gives an oral report on the Committee’s work to the members of the Board, a summary of which is then included in the minutes of the Board meeting. The CAG‑CSR Committee uses the Herboard secure digital platform (see § 3.5.3.2) . Minutes of CAG‑CSR Committee meetings are drawn up at the end of each meeting and sent to all members of the Committee, who are invited to comment. Any observations are discussed at the next Committee meeting, which approves the final text of the minutes of the previous meeting. The CAG‑CSR Committee uses a dashboard to plan and prepare its work in a balanced way over the year.

3.6.2.3 The main provisions of the CAG‑CSR Committee’s rules of procedure are set out in chapter 3 of the universal registration document. FUNCTIONING The operation of the CAG‑CSR Committee complies with the principles applicable to Board committees (see §3.6.1). The Chairman of the Supervisory Board can be invited to certain CAG‑CSR Committee meetings in order to hear his or her opinion in matters of appointments or governance, which was not the case in 2022. As part of its responsibilities in terms of social and environmental responsibility, a meeting dedicated to the presentation of exposure to CSR risks has been held every year since 2021 with the Audit and Risk Committee. The purpose of this joint meeting is to strengthen coordination and sharing between the two committees on this related subject. On 24March 2010, the Supervisory Board adopted rules of procedure which specify the rules governing the composition, powers and operating procedures of the CAG‑CSR Committee. These rules of procedure are regularly reviewed to adapt to legal and regulatory changes and to take into account the recommendations of the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) and revisions to the Afep‑Medef Code. The full text of the CAG‑CSR Committee’s rules of procedure is made available at each update at https://finance.hermes.com/en/ governing‑bodies‑rules‑procedure‑articles‑association/.
