CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

R 6.1.4.5 DIVERSITY IN SENIOR MANAGEMENT As stated in section 4.4.3.3 of the Company’s registration document, the Group is strongly engaged against discrimination and promotes diversity. The Group encourages the hiring of more women managers and undertakes to guarantee that women have the same working conditions as men. Accordingly, promoting the principle of gender balance and hiring more female managers are objectives of the Group. As a result, it has adopted the following two priorities and related quantitative targets, which form part of the 2014-2018 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) roadmap: W to increase by 25% the number of women in key roles: at the end of 2018, that target had been exceeded, with 15.2% of the Group’s key roles held by women, an increase of 32% versus the end of 2013;

W to reduce by 15% the gender pay gap for non-managerial employees (65% of the Group’s workforce) as a whole within the Group; at the end of 2018, the gender pay gap for non-managerial employees was 12.9%, better than the target initially set for the end of 2018. The new 2019-2021 CSR roadmap to be published in 2019 broadens the indicator of female representation among managers, with the aim of increasing the proportion of women in managerial roles by 20%. Promoting women to the Group’s key roles is part of an ongoing action plan that follows on from measures already implemented by the Group in recent years. Please refer to section 4.4.3.2 of the Company’s registration document for further information. As regards the Executive Committee, efforts to increase female representation started several years ago, and 22% of its members were women at the end of 2018 which is on improvement compared to 2017.
