Leading Success , for managers, and Booster have been postponed ● until 2022 due to the health crisis. Two other modules complement these programs: Leadership & Diversity : raising awareness of the value that diversity ● brings to business, understanding the mechanisms, conscious or unconscious, that impact the development of a culture open to diversity. In 2021, one-third of Senior Executives took part in workshops on this topic; Leading in a Changing Environment : introduced in 2021, this module ● helps to strengthen leadership in a changing environment. Five sessions of this workshop were attended by 50 participants.

In addition to this skills management process, Plastic Omnium offers programs to support and accelerate the development of its talents: Starter : a program whose objective is to develop young talents and ● extend his/her internal network. It is based on meeting people, sharing best practices, an initiation to finance, human resources management and strategy. This program has been adapted to meet sanitary requirements; Driving Success : a program offered to all new managers, which helps ● to create a common management culture; Leading Manufacturing for plant managers and future plant managers. ● This program has been redesigned as a nine-month learning experience combining classroom and remote learning activities. Some 40 plant managers joined this learning community in 2021;

FOCUS ON INTELLIGENT EXTERIOR SYSTEMS

Intelligent Exterior Systems aims to update the skills of employees working in the main areas of manufacturing: injection, painting, gluing and assembly. This approach, undertaken as part of the strategic management of the workforce (the French “Predictive Management of Jobs and Skills” – GPEC) strengthens current professional knowledge to guarantee the Group’s operational excellence. This new training system will first be rolled out at the French sites and then extended to other countries, starting with Spain, the United States and Germany.

PO ACADEMIES

In 2021, a new program specially designed for technical and manual professions was developed: the PO Academies. In order to remain leader, Plastic Omnium needs to constantly develop the knowledge and skills related to the industrial processes that constitute its core business. Operational excellence, product quality and customer satisfaction are closely linked to this. The objective will subsequently be to define the target organization to be put in place to improve operational efficiency. On each site, a referent person has been appointed to train technicians and operators. From December 2021 and over several weeks, these people will be trained by an external partner, and will then help adapt the program to the local situation in the field. The first training sessions will be provided from spring 2022 to employees, whether they are operators, preparers, technicians or injection coordinators. Plastic Omnium’s development in hydrogen mobility has also led to the definition of new positions that require specific expertise.

Finally, one of the major projects of 2021 was the complete digitization of the training plan, from training requests to their realization. Formerly manual, this process is becoming more efficient and transparent as it allows managers to monitor the progress of training projects in real time. This standardized organization is being rolled out at 28 sites, covering half of the Group’s managers.

In order to offer immersive training, Plastic Omnium provides more and more virtual reality training. Training on the six non-negotiable health and safety issues has been adapted to this new method and other training projects are under development for 2022.

Performance The total workforce was down slightly in 2021 due to the semiconductor crisis, which has led the Group to adapt its needs. This very specific context is not representative of the commitments made by the Group on hiring. For example, New Energies, which will be an autonomous business line from 2022, has a strong need for new skills.
