DECLARATION ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Human Resources: Enabler of Performance
ENCOURAGING PROFESSIONAL INSERTION DEPF.10 DPEF.14 2.4.5.3. Employing seniors
taking action to integrate and retain disabled employees by supporting them and providing adjusted work solutions or specially adapted workstations mobilising all those involved in coordinated management by improving awareness of the agreement and of measures in favour of the workers concerned (local disability correspondent, social service, medical service, human resources function, management, employee representatives and employees) and by setting up preventive measures "Disability Week" and occasional events related to disability provide a forum for discussing acknowledgement as a disabled worker no matter what the work entity (office facilities, R&D, manufacturing). Subcontracting with sheltered workshops is one aspect of the Group’s agreement for the social and occupational inclusion of the disabled. This commitment by the Group with sheltered workshops for direct material parts is a policy that Groupe PSA has implemented for over 20 years, and it has made Groupe PSA the number one purchaser from sheltered workshops in France, with 2017 revenue of €45.5 million. This represents 2,334 people employed, mainly in the manufacturing industry (see Section 2.3.1.2.1.). Thus, 100% of cars manufactured by Groupe PSA in Europe include at least one part manufactured by the sheltered sector. Groupe PSA’s global framework agreement on social responsibility of 7 March 2017 formalises its commitments to its stakeholders in a detailed and public manner, and shares its social requirements with suppliers, industrial partners and dealer networks. In this agreement, Groupe PSA undertakes to go beyond simply complying with local and national standards and to work within a framework for fundamental Human Rights. The agreement refers to conventions 87, 135 and 98 of the International Labour Organization on freedom of association and protection of the right to organise, on workers’ representatives, on the right to organise and to bargain collectively, conventions 29 and 105 on the abolition of forced labour, convention 138 and 182 on the abolition of child labour and the minimum age for admission to employment, convention 111 on preventing discrimination, convention 100 on equal compensation and convention 155 on occupational safety and health. The Group promotes the respect of Human Rights in every host country, even in regions where such respect is not always forthcoming. In becoming a party to the United Nations’ Global Compact in 2003, the Group committed to respecting and promoting its ten principles, which are based on the Universal Declaration of human rights, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Rights and Principles at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development and the United Nations Convention against Corruption, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (“Ruggie Principles”) and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. Groupe PSA is committed to ensuring that respect of human rights is a determining factor in selecting its suppliers and has implemented a due diligence plan with regard to respect of human rights in accordance with the recommendations of the OECD. By signing Groupe PSA’s “Responsible Purchasing Policy” the Group’s suppliers agree in particular not to use forced or obligatory labour or child labour. This practice has been applicable since 2006, well before the entry into force of regulations such as the UK Modern Slavery Act. RESPECTING HUMAN RIGHTS 2.4.6. DPEF.37 DPEF.38 DPEF.39 DPEF.40 DPEF.41
Keeping older employees (24% of the Group’s workforce over 50 years old) in work and motivated is one of the corporate social responsibility commitments. The aim is to ensure equal opportunity and fair treatment for all, including seniors. The measures included in the Groupe PSA Generation Contract seek to consolidate the place of older employees in the Company and to better consider their experience as an advantage for the Group’s success. The coexistence of the generations and knowledge transfer is an asset for social cohesion and economic efficiency. Community initiatives Aware that the location of residence can be a cause of isolation, lack of equal opportunity or even discrimination, the Group is a major player in social responsibility in its host communities and is committed to promoting equal opportunity and diversity within the Company. In liaison with public and academic authorities, the Group implements targeted career guidance and professional insertion measures, through youth employment contracts and work-study contracts, specifically aimed at people having difficulty finding work. In signing the Entreprises et Quartiers Charter in France, Groupe PSA demonstrated its commitment to work alongside public authorities to support local economic and social development in neighbourhoods designated as disadvantaged in France’s Urban Planning Policy. The Group has 5,136 employees with disabilities worldwide. Disability recognition is specified by various local laws. 81% of employees with disabilities are manual workers, 13% are technicians and administrative employees and 6% are managers. 5,136 disabled employees within the Group Six successive agreements have been signed since 2000 to support the Group’s actions in favour of the social and professional integration of people with disabilities. This policy is deployed globally through the global framework agreement with the aim of helping disabled employees remain at work, implementing preventative actions and fostering their integration into the labour market. Such actions are also actions for the collective and help boost company performance. Today, thanks to the various initiatives conducted, and taking as an example France in its Automotive Division, Groupe PSA has achieved a rate of employment of disabled persons of 7.3%, above the 6% legal requirement. This employment rate increases to 10.3% when taking into account sheltered workshops. In France, the 6th agreement on employment for handicapped within the Group was signed on 21 February 2017, confirming Groupe PSA’s strong determination to step up its existing efforts in that direction. This agreement is structured around four main areas of application: changing how we look at disability by raising awareness among employees throughout the year and by reinforcing the training of managers and trainers promoting recognition of the status of disabled workers, by offering subsidies and guarantees to agreement beneficiaries in their personal and professional lives HIRING DISABLED WORKERS 2.4.5.4.
