DECLARATION ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Social responsibility: an integral part of the Group’s strategy

The Group’s CSR policy DPEF.15 2.1.2.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF ITS HOST COUNTRIES The Group’s operations have a considerable economic and social impact on its host communities. Groupe PSA is aware of its responsibility in this area. On this basis: it selects its suppliers from amongst those closest to its „ production plants, in line with its Social and Environmental Guidelines . By increasing its percentage of local purchases in a responsible way, the Group is demonstrating that its operations support the sustainable economic development of its host regions and countries; it supports the most vulnerable populations in its host „ communities via its Company Foundation which funds initiatives that integrate people through mobility and access to education. In this way, the Group marks its commitment to serve its host communities . DRAWING ON ALL ITS TALENT AND CREATING THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT FOR SUCCESS Groupe PSA’s economic performance is bound up with its workforce-related performance. The aim is to pool energies to end up as the winning team. The Group relies on the quality of its relations with its employee representatives to design innovative solutions and build trust and commitment . Since 2006, in order to support its global expansion and the efficient implementation of its social commitment, it has used the Global Framework Agreement on Social Responsibility as its reference framework. Across all its sites, Groupe PSA is rolling out the principles of this reference framework, in response to its employment issues. The Group: draws on long-standing employee relations, taking a „ co-construction approach with employee representatives, in order to share its strategy and provide secure career paths for its employees via negotiated provisions and close support; reiterates the need to guarantee workplace health and safety „ and to develop well-being in the workplace; considers the expression and development of talent to be the „ cornerstone of its strategy; guarantees equal opportunities based on the recognition of „ individual merit; extends, to its suppliers and partners, its commitment to respect „ fundamental Human Rights ; encourages all employees to comply with its Code of Ethics and „ its professional conduct rules. Groupe PSA’s CSR (corporate social responsibility) policy is both a collective and individual commitment and the Group ensures that its principles are taken into consideration in all operational decisions.

For Groupe PSA, sustainable growth and long-term economic performance can only be achieved by taking a responsible and transparent approach to its business . On this basis, in line with the United Nations Global Compact, of which it has been a member since 2003, the Group defined its corporate social responsibility programme. This CSR policy, which is the result of ongoing dialogue with stakeholders and is reflected in its public commitments , guides the Group’s approach to its strategic challenges. It is based on three pillars: sustainable mobility, economic development of its host communities and drawing on all its talent and creating the right environment for success. SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY As a pioneer in many technologies, Groupe PSA is demonstrating „ its social responsibility by developing a range of mobility solutions in response to changes in stakeholder expectations: not just for consumers but also for the host communities. Its strategy is to have a presence across all mobility market segments. With this objective, it is mobilising its innovation resources to „ reduce the environmental impacts of mobility. Its strategy is based on rolling out the most effective technologies across the greatest number of vehicles , so as to constitute massive leverage in the fight against pollution and climate change. From design through to manufacture, Groupe PSA is committed „ to optimising the use of resources by incorporating green or recycled materials into its vehicles, by guaranteeing their recyclability and by limiting the environmental footprint of its production plants and dealership networks in terms of energy, water and waste. Vehicle use is the main cause of emissions. The Group also: „ widely fits its ranges with clean, low carbon , fuel efficient „ technologies that preserve air quality , and sells best in class combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles; is developing a range of connected mobility services in „ response to changes in customer behaviours and expectations; lastly, as a result of listening to the views of the general public, „ invents tomorrow’s mobility solutions by making digital technology part of its ranges’ DNA, by rolling out driver assistance systems offering increasing levels of safety and improved traffic flows, with the ultimate aim of producing autonomous cars at an affordable cost for the largest number of motorists.
