IMPROVE THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF OUR FACILITIES AND FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE

OUR COMMITMENTS

To meet our targets, we are committed to working on two fronts: ■ reducing the energy intensity of our activities; ■ the use of renewable energies. In 2021, the CSR Department organised several SBT workshops with representatives of the Logistics, Operations, Environment, Sales and Purchasing Departments of the various regions (EMEA, Americas and Asia) in order to raise their awareness and involve them in the process of reducing Group emissions. At each of our production sites, areas for improvement have been identified and action plans implemented to reduce our energy consumption and carbon impact. The CSR Department (reporting directly to the Group President) was appointed to oversee the climate strategy, a priority integrated into the strategic pillars of MANE’s Sustainable Development Policy. As part of the new governance set up in 2021, the CSR Department is part of the Global Management Team (GMT). The role of the GMT, in association with the Group Executive Board (GEB), is to design and implement the Group’s strategic priorities. With the integration of the CSR function into the GMT, the GEB therefore takes into account the risks and opportunities related to climate change in the preparation of strategies, budgets, investments and business plans. The progress made in our climate strategy is analysed in detail during management reviews. These are held each year both at the regional level, with the site managers and the managers of the functional departments concerned, and at the global level (at headquarters) with the members of the CSR Committee, which include the members of the GEB, and the Group President. The purpose of these meetings is: ■ to assess the effectiveness of the actions implemented as part of our climate strategy; ■ to identify opportunities for improvement; ■ to enable senior executives to guide their decisions. GOVERNANCE

So far We are aware that the risks associated with global warming can be seen as both a threat and an opportunity. This is why we take into account the impact of our activities on the climate in our strategic thinking. We have long been committed to reducing our carbon footprint. In 2007, we signed the Caring for Climate commitment. This historic commitment is now reinforced by our commitment to twomajor international initiatives in the fight against global warming: ■ in 2015, we signed the Paris Pledge for Action, committing the Group to align its climate strategy with the objective of the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels; ■ in 2019, we joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to translate our commitment into concrete, science-based targets. After an initial target achieved and exceeded by a 15% reduction in our CO 2 emissions on scopes 1 and 2 per tonne of product between 2009 and 2021, we have set ourselves two new targets for 2030: ■ reduce our scopes 1 and 2 emissions per tonne of product by 57%, compared to 2018; ■ reduce our scope 3 emissions per tonne of product by 38%, compared to 2018. These are all indirect emissions (not counted in scopes 1 and 2) related to our value chain as a whole, such as: purchases of raw materials, upstream and downstream transport of goods, and employee travel. In the future Our new targets were approved by the SBTi in March 2021. They are compatible with the WB2C trajectory (well below 2 °C). In January 2022, to go even further with our commitment, we resubmitted new and more ambitious targets to the SBTi to align ourselves this time with a warming trajectory of 1.5 °C. We expect their approval by the end of 2022.
