DECLARATION ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Corporate sustainable Development Commitment
Audits of critical suppliers In addition, social and environmental audits are conducted at selected suppliers’ plants in accordance with the risk level associated with their country, product or process. Since 2008, 86 social and environmental audits have been performed at tier 1,2 or 3 suppliers. Chapter 4 of the CSR Report presents the results of these audits in detail. Watching out for weak signals to eliminate causes of risk A number of mechanisms have been introduced to identify potential risks: the discovery report: this report is an internal Groupe PSA tool that can be used by anyone within the Group who is visiting a supplier production plant (buyers, quality auditors, supervisors, analysts, etc.). It can be used to report any observed or suspected shortcomings during a visit to a supplier’s
production plant. This questionnaire is forwarded to the CSR coordinator who decides on any follow-up such as a site audit; a global external warning system using a whistleblowing website is being set up with phased deployment planned to all countries. Initially intended for Group employees, it may be opened up, based on national regulations and needs, to our external partners: suppliers, NGOs, etc. – wishing to report to Groupe PSA breaches of the law or of international treaties (see 6.1.2.1 of the CSR Report); listening to stakeholders: NGOs, journalists, unions. All these alerts are investigated and action is taken against the suppliers in question i.e. a letter from the Head of Purchasing, a site audit etc. Remedial action in the event of non-compliance No complaints have been upheld against Groupe PSA for CSR breaches.

COMMITMENT TO ROAD SAFETY
2.3.2.1.
The safety of different road users has always been the primary priority of Groupe PSA. The Group is focusing on technologies that have shown a proven ability to make automobiles safe, at an affordable cost for the largest number of motorists. The Group has implemented operating safety measures and is simultaneously promoting three lines of defence: primary, secondary and tertiary. It is also incorporating work that is indispensable to counter new cybersecurity threats. Response to road safety problems is based not only on the introduction of increasingly sophisticated safety systems onboard vehicles. Roadway infrastructure must also be upgraded, while motorists and other road users must be effectively educated in safe driving and road use practices. The systems described below, as well as the results, are shown in greater detail in the CSR Report.
Suspension, steering, breaking and other systems are designed to deliver handling performance, precision steering and braking efficiency that rank among the best in the market. Groupe PSA anticipated regulatory changes by fitting its vehicles with driving assistance technologies aimed at helping drivers: ABS (anti blocking system) prevents the wheels from locking up during emergency braking; EBA (emergency brake assist) increases braking power when performing an emergency stop; ESC (electronic stability control) helps drivers maintain control even in a skid; TPMS (tyre pressure monitoring system) advises the driver of any drops in tyre pressure which could destabilise the stability of the car.
