Career development for women In order to improve the place of women in the Group and the industry, Plastic Omnium has set itself several objectives by 2030: 30% women in the Group; ● 30% of engineers and managers are women; ● 40% women in Executive Commitees (Group + Business line). ● Three areas of focus have been set to achieve these targets: identify and promote female profiles likely to match vacant ● management positions; raise awareness among all employees of the benefits of a more diverse ● management team; support women from their arrival in the Group and develop appropriate ● career paths.
At the same time, the Group aims for women to comprise 25% of the permanent technical and engineering workforce by 2025. Four specific areas have been identified to increase the proportion of women in this population: encourage external recruitment and reach 30% women in new hires in ● these professions by 2025; promote internal mobility and enable at least one female employee to ● apply for each job offer; take action to retain female technical profiles and aim for zero ● voluntary departures from these positions; accelerate acculturation and eliminate entry bias through a specific ● training cycle for managers and engineers. Emphasis will also be placed on recruiting young talent through initiatives such as “Elles bougent”.

focused on developing the potential of female profiles, which will also be launched in 2022. Partnerships with associations are an interesting lever to help change clichés and stereotypes. Plastic Omnium’s female employees, sponsors of the Elles Bougent association, promote technical and engineering careers among young women in order to attract them to scientific trainings and careers. During the tenth edition of the Industry Week, on the theme “Inventing a sustainable future”, Laurent Favre, Chief Executive Officer, Félicie Burelle, Managing Director, and the association Elles Bougent, invited girls nearing the end of middle school from the Theodore Monod College in Gagny to visit Plastic Omnium’s head office. On this occasion, Plastic Omnium had the honor to welcome Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Deputy Minister to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery, in charge of Industry, and Céline Calvez, member of Parliament for 5 th Hauts-de-Seine district. The aim was to raise awareness among schoolgirls of careers in industry, to encourage them to choose technical or engineering professions and enable them to discover the key professions that will contribute to tomorrow’s sustainable mobility. Performance The four French entities calculated their 2021 Gender Equality Index (based on 2020 data), which has been mandatory in France since the start of 2019. Three entities out of four scored of between 93 and 94. The fourth had a score of 84, up by four points from 2021.
In view of these commitments, several actions were completed in 2021. The Group’s Executive Committee is composed of 13 members, including five women, i.e. 38%. The Group has implemented Diversity objectives in its various governance bodies and for its managerial staff. The number of women in all management grades increased in 2021.Plastic Omnium took part in the Women Automotive Summit organized by the Women Automotive Network, which took place in June via a digital platform. This international event on the inclusion of women in the automotive industry brought together more than 6,000 people. The Group’s participation took the form of discussions between industry professionals on diversity and technology. Employees feedbacks were very positive and the Group plans to renew its participation in 2022. In France, the internal WoMen@PO network, launched in April 2019, brings together 180 women and men wishing to raise awareness among their colleagues and generate dialog on the subject of diversity and inclusion. They are supported by three sponsors belonging to the Group’s Executive Committee. This year, the program was extended to Asia, at a large online event bringing together more than 300 employees in seven countries, as well as in the United States. The extension to Spain is scheduled for 2022. A Group coordinator has been appointed to lead the program. A new program of sponsorship by members of the Group's Executive Committee will be launched in 2022. The Executive Committee members will support ten high-potential female employees in this way through training and monthly discussions. The mentored employees will be chosen using the People review program for a period of 12 to 18 months, allowing for rotations. At the same time, the Group has created a new program
