THE RISK MANAGEMENT AND NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING

OF THE GROUP

4.3.1

SOCIAL STAKES

The actions to be carried out concern machinery and equipment, employees and managers, sites and projects, standards and management, and working conditions. The HBPO integration plan is ongoing. Two pilot sites have been certified under ISO 45001 and the rollout of certification should continue in 2022. 2. Identifying, measuring and quantifying the risks related to safety and the environment in advance so they can be corrected. The “Six Non-Negotiables” are an essential part of the Group’s Safety Policy. They cover the rules regarding pedestrian traffic, wearing Personal Protective Equipment, industrial trucks, suspended loads, stop and start operations and working at heights. The zero-risk strategy deployed on the sites aims to carry out preventive actions as soon as possible and corrective actions immediately in the event of an accident. Safety risks are managed through daily monitoring of workplace lost/non-lost time accidents (LTA/NLTA), first aid, near misses and dangerous situations (without incident or accident). This reporting shows that the sites that have identified and worked ahead of hazardous situations have fewer workplace accidents. 3. Organizing and providing security training for staff. Created in 2004, Top Safety training aims to operationally implement the safety policy, raise managers’ awareness of the issues and support them in adopting new behaviors. Top Safety visits are organized on a multi-year basis between managers and their employees in order to allow employees to express their views on the safety of their workstations and for managers to demonstrate their commitment through immediate corrective action. In 2021, 35 Top Safety training sessions were organized (Morocco, Mexico, Germany, United Kingdom, Thailand, Slovakia, China, Poland, Spain, France, USA, Russia, Japan, Canada, Hungary, Brazil, Czech Republic) i.e. 523 employees trained. In addition, in 2021, the integration of HBPO into the program continued, with the organization of Top Safety training courses in Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Mexico, Slovakia and the United Kingdom. Furthermore, 19 Stop 5 sessions were organized (Argentina, Brazil, China, France, Spain, USA, Mexico, Thailand, Poland, Germany, Russia, Slovakia, Japan), i.e. 237 employees trained. Stop 5 training is dedicated to team leaders and all operational teams liable to work on the equipment, so that they may do so in complete safety. The number of safety training sessions is monitored on a monthly basis by each business line. In total, and despite the health crisis, 760 employees were trained in 2021, an increase compared to previous years.

RISK TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY 4.3.1.1 OF PEOPLE Risk description The occupational health and safety risk is the probability that an employee will be exposed to a dangerous situation during his or her occupational activity and suffer effects that are harmful to his/her physical and/or mental health. The risks of accidents or occupational illnesses may be linked to industrial activity and working conditions on production lines. Aware that this risk could have an impact on the health of people, employee engagement, social dialog and the attractiveness of the Group, as well as legal and financial consequences for the Group, Plastic Omnium places this issue at the heart of the Care for People pillar of its ACT FOR ALL™ Program. Policies and procedures The “Top Safety” policy implemented to reduce this risk has proven its effectiveness year after year, with steady improvement in the key performance indicators. Thus, 96 out of a total 127 sites had no accidents in 2021, i.e. 76% of sites. The Sustainable Development Department implements the Group Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) strategy defined by the Executive Committee to ensure the protection of employees, property and the environment. It steers and coordinates the HSE actions of the 4 business lines and leads the HSE network. Weekly meetings are organized with the entire HSE network to discuss best practices and feedback from the sites. These moments of exchange and dialog make it possible to act to achieve continuous, cross-functional and homogeneous improvement. Occupational health and safety data is presented during ACT FOR ALL TM Committee meetings, which now include all of the Sustainable Development topics. At Plastic Omnium, safety is a subject for which everyone in the organization is responsible, from operators to Senior Executives. The Group’s policy is based on four pillars. 1. Defining and deploying the Safety management system applied by the business lines. ISO 45001 (Health and Safety) certification has been rolled out to all sites. The number of certified sites has increased by 5% this year.
