DECLARATION ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Embracing environmental issues

Vehicle life cycle and carbon footprint 2.2.1.3.4. analyses DPEF.18 DPEF.19 DPEF.20 DPEF.27 Life cycle analysis to improve vehicles’ environmental footprint The Group conducts life cycle analyses of its vehicles and components that comply with the framework defined in the ISO 14040/044 standards. These studies analyse the multi-criteria environmental footprint of a vehicle and validate its component and materials design. The entire product life cycle is taken into account from raw material extraction, to manufacture, use and end-of-life recycling. The Group has set itself the goal of performing a life cycle analysis for each new family of vehicles. In addition, for each major technological change or strategic innovation, a study is carried out, in conjunction with suppliers, to assess changes in the environmental impacts of these modifications. As a result, in 2016, life cycle analyses covered 45.4% of the total fleet sold. The LCA methodology used was certified during a critical review by Bio By Deloitte, a firm specialising in life cycle analysis. Environmental impacts are taken into consideration in the innovation process and a complete evaluation is made of each critical innovation. The goal is to guarantee that the environmental impacts from a new model are less than for the previous generation. These results were verified with regard to: the new petrol version of the Citroën C3 compared to the its „ previous version; the new diesel version of the DS 7 Crossback compared to the „ old Peugeot 3008. In 2018, the Group plans to perform a life cycle analyses on the new Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner vehicles and it will perform analyses on its major innovations and on the introduction of green or composite materials. Monitoring the Carbon footprint of a vehicle Groupe PSA has begun a process to determine the total CO 2 equivalent of its operations in Europe. This footprint considers, over a year of activity, emissions from the production of materials and components for the vehicles manufactured, emissions from the Group’s production plants, service activities, fuel extraction and production necessary to use Groupe PSA reached a new strategic milestone in its role as a mobility service supplier. In order to rise to new mobility challenges, Groupe PSA is continuing to roll out its “Push to Pass” plan with the construction of an ecosystem of fifteen or so partners and developers. The Group’s strategy, the aim of which is to offer sustainable, smart, safe and shared mobility solutions, guaranteeing freedom of movement for all, is being demonstrated by: the creation of a Mobility Services Department which coordinates „ the cross-functional oversight of all activities described in the “Push to Pass” plan; the launch of its new Free2Move mobility services brand which „ will bring together all of its connected and mobility service offerings; investment in Communauto, the North American car-sharing „ pioneer; collaboration with Bolloré which adds Citroën C-Zéro electric „ vehicles to its existing range in Lyon (Bluely) and Bordeaux (Bluecub); 2.2.1.4.

The total CO 2

equivalent emissions of vehicles produced by the

Group in 2016 amounted to 34.4 million tonnes. The usage phase of the vehicle represents almost 80% of the vehicle’s overall carbon footprint in terms of CO 2 equivalent emissions. Hence Groupe PSA is focusing its R&D efforts on the issues of fuel consumption and vehicle weight (see Section 2.2.1.1.1).

THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOBILITY AND ONBOARD INTELLIGENCE SERVICES

the acquisition of equity stakes in two startups specialising in „ peer-to-peer car-sharing: Koolicar and TravelCar. Groupe PSA earmarked €100 million to invest in these new business and prepare for the future; a connected fleet management services partnership with „ Masternaut, the second-largest supplier of telematic solutions in Europe; a partnership with IBM as part of the Smarter cities project „ currently being rolled out in the Metropolis Nice Côte d’Azur, Gironde and in Wallonia (Belgium). The launch of the Free2Move app, a mobility services platform for sharing cars, scooters or bikes. The app was launched in April 2017 and is now available: in Europe: 7 countries (Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Sweden, „ Austria, France and Spain) and in 18 cities; in the USA: starting with the city of Seattle (October 2017). „ The Free2Move app allows you to use the services of around 30 operators, including five which operate in partnership with the Group.
