European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities and enables pairs of people with disabilities and volunteer professionals to be trained together. This year, the day was held in person on the Group’s sites. Three pairs from two sites were thus able to be involved; a total of 19 employees volunteered. To build a more inclusive company, it is important to support teams on the issue of disability. In 2021, the training of key players involved employee representatives. Twelve representatives were trained in the spring to participate in the negotiations on the Plastic Omnium Disability Agreement. Recruit and ensure job retention In order to promote the recruitment of people with disabilities in France, several actions were implemented in 2021: organization of recruitment-related workshops (preparation for ● interviews, CVs, presentation of the Company’s business lines, etc.) for young people with disabilities; drafting of a best practices' sheet for managers on the hiring and ● integration of new employees with disabilities; publication of job offers on a specialized job board for people with ● disabilities in France (www.handicap.fr); launch of a mentoring initiative between Plastic Omnium France ● employees and students with disabilities. This mentoring takes place over a period of one year with several hours of support each month. These efforts led to the hiring of three people with autism spectrum disorders. Awareness-raising was conducted among the teams prior to these recruitments and a specially adapted integration process was implemented. Plastic Omnium works on a multidisciplinary basis to seek solutions to keep its employees, particularly those who declare themselves to be disabled, employed. Job retention thus involves the HSE teams, including ergonomists, the Mission Handicap, occupational health services, social workers, Cap Emploi and other outside experts. Working groups with ARACT (Regional Agency for the Improvement of Working Conditions) were also organized at the Hauts de France region sites in 2021. Encourage purchases from the sheltered sector Purchases from the protected and adapted sector are also an essential means of supporting the employment of workers with disabilities. All French sites work with ESATs – the French Work Assistance Establishment and Services – or EAs – Adapted Enterprises. Plastic Omnium spends more than €2 million each year with around twenty suppliers in areas such as printing, maintenance of green spaces and branding of promotional items. The aim is to diversify and strengthen the services purchased. 2021 was marked by the renewal of a beam supply contract with the supplier AMIPI-Bernard Vendre Foundation. Buyers were made aware of the protected sector through two presentations were organized in 2021 to introduce them to specialized purchasing networks for the protected and Adapted Work Sector. UNEA (which comprises Adapted Enterprises) and GESAT (which brings together the French Work Assistance Establishment and Services and Adapted Enterprises). A partnership was also signed in 2021 with the GESAT network for various services including unlimited access to the directory of all ESATs & EAs in France in order to consider new collaborations with a panel of suppliers in the sector.

disabilities. The aim is to make content available to as many people as possible, regardless of the hardware or software they have, their network infrastructure, their geographical location or their physical or mental skills. The Group is committed to making regular corrections to future content, in order to improve the internet experience of users with disabilities (visual, hearing or cognitive impairments, motor disabilities). In France, Mission Handicap , part of the Human Resources Department, works to include more people with disabilities in the workplace. It relies on a network of contacts at each French site. The people in charge of the disability policy are organized according to a dedicated governance: one full-time person within the Group’s Human Resources Department ● and one contact person per site within the Human Resources team; relays within the HSE, Health (nurses, social workers) and management ● teams and the employee representative bodies; inclusion of external partners: Occupational Health Services, Cap ● Emploi , etc. Plastic Omnium’s Mission Handicap France focuses on the following five areas of intervention: employee training and awareness; 1) job retention; 2) recruitment of new employees with disabilities; 3) purchases from ESAT (French Establishment and Work Assistance 4) Service) or EA (Adapted Enterprise) suppliers; management and monitoring of the disability policy in France. 5) Inform and raise awareness Raising awareness is one of the key success factors in building a culture that promotes diversity, particularly by removing conscious and unconscious bias. In this regard, several actions were carried out in 2021: discovery of a quarterly theme on disability: autism spectrum disorders, ● disability sport, cancer and work, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). These themes are communicated via posters, videos and a practical guide; video testimony of an autistic employee posted on the intranet and ● relayed on social networks; webinars on digital accessibility for tertiary sites; ● publication of articles on the intranet, display screens in break rooms ● on Plastic Omnium sites; publication of an article in the internal global newspaper “Optimum”, on ● the contract signed with the supplier Amipi-Bernard Vendre (Adapted company). An awareness campaign was launched for the European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities (SEEPH) from November 15 to 21, 2021, on the theme of inclusive behavior and the new Group Agreement in France for the inclusion of people with disabilities, effective January 1, 2022: posters, brochures, information meetings, escape games, role plays, etc. Plastic Omnium has renewed its participation in the DuoDay that took place on November 18 and was an opportunity to include people with disabilities in the corporate world. The DuoDay is carried out as part of the
