Once the process of validating the European Regulation started, we updated internal training materials for Group employees. A working group was set up with Group operating units and human resources to identify and train employees exposed to compliance with the Regulation. Thus, a dedicated e-learning training programme for managing personal data was taken by almost 2,500 employees in total by end-2017. Finally, the Group is constantly improving the security of its data storage and exchange networks and uses the latest cybersecurity techniques to protect itself from malicious intrusion. Consumer credit The distribution of consumer credit, which accounts for nearly 70% of loans distributed by Banque PSA Finance and its subsidiaries and branches (approximately 70% of these loans went to customers and 30% to dealers), has been subject to specific legislation to protect consumer rights, particularly in the European Union since the adoption of the Consumer Credit Directive 2008/48/EC, which has now been transposed into national law by the various EU member states. This directive creates stricter obligations for advertising, pre-contractual information, solvency studies of borrowers and contractual information, all of which have been implemented by Banque PSA Finance and its affected subsidiaries and/or branches.

Groupe PSA is often one of the largest private employers in areas where it has an industrial presence. As a core economic player, the Group assumes its social responsibility commitments in its various territories. The Group is firmly convinced that mobility is a global societal challenge and a fundamental right. Mobility goes hand in hand with economic development. It is a cause of autonomy, progress and innovation. Groupe PSA’s commitment is demonstrated through the actions of its Corporate Foundation and deepened by the

discussions that take place within the Laboratoire de la Mobilité inclusive. The mobility access experiments conducted also allow the Group to explore new, more inclusive business models; The PSA Foundation lends its support to projects putting mobility to work to promote social integration, strengthen social ties and expand access to culture and education. In 2017, it supported 91 projects for a total amount of €2.3 million. Detailed information is available in Section 7.2 of the Group’s CSR Report on the PSA Foundation site: www.fondation-psa.com
