NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING DISCLOSURE The risk management and non-financial reporting of the Group

RESPONSIBLE PURCHASING/SUPPLIER 4.3.2.4 RISK Risk description Due to its international reach and multiple locations, Plastic Omnium is particularly vigilant about the consequences that the activities and behavior of its suppliers, subcontractors and service providers could have on the Group. A breach by one of these stakeholders of laws and regulations relating to the environment, human rights or business ethics may affect the Group’s operating activities, economic performance, reputation or compliance and it may harm society. Policies and procedures Plastic Omnium is developing a responsible approach to its purchases and supplies. Establishing a responsible supply chain requires close collaboration with suppliers and for the Company to ensure that risks are known and controlled. For this, the Group relies on three pillars: streamlining of the supplier portfolio; ● increasing knowledge of the risk profile of its suppliers as part of the ● “Know Your Supplier” approach; commitment of suppliers to the Group’s Sustainable Development ● Policy, ACT FOR ALL TM . This ambition fully meets the principles of responsibility to which the Group refers by adhering to: the United Nations Global Compact; ● the Fundamental Conventions of the ILO (International Labor ● Organization) and the ILO Declaration on fundamental labor principles and rights; the OECD guidelines. ● Plastic Omnium also contributes to the achievement of certain United Nations Sustainable Development Goals SDG (see pages 144 to 146). Plastic Omnium Group has around 25,000 suppliers. These are classified into three categories according to their level of integration into Plastic Omnium’s business: suppliers of "direct" goods comprising the BOM – Bills of Materials: raw ● materials, components or manufactured by-products used in the composition of a product; suppliers of production-related equipment; ● suppliers of so-called "indirect" goods and services not included in the ● products. In addition, the Group’s commitments in terms of carbon neutrality and the significant impact of purchasing led, amongst other things, to the creation in 2020 of the position of Group Purchasing Performance Director, an associate member of the Executive Committee, and to the creation in 2021 of the position of Value Chain Sustainability VP, member of the Sustainability Department. Together with the business lines' Purchasing Departments, they organize activities aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of the entire value chain and developing a structured collaboration with suppliers to encourage them to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

Quality audits and certifications The quality approach is reflected in the certification of all sites according to the IATF 16949 standard (Quality Management System), in the performance of internal product/process audits and in the follow-up of remarks made by teams dedicated to compliance with quality protocols. Internal audits are mandatory. Non-compliance and recommendations systematically trigger an action plan submitted for validation by the auditors. Executive Committees in the plants also steer an audit approach to verify standards, carried out at the managerial level and commonly known as LPAs (Layered Process Audits). In 2021, the semiconductor crisis coupled with certain border closures prompted teams to adapt urgently to meet the requirements of the standards: all the audits planned for 2021 were carried out, including those initially planned for 2020 but delayed until 2021. The proportion of IATF 16949-certified sites in 2021 was 97% (98 sites out of 101), is due to the opening of new sites which have now started the certification process. For Intelligent Exterior Systems, 36 out of 38 sites are certified, 39 out of 39 for Clean Energy Systems and 23 out of 24 for HBPO. Supplier quality To deploy the quality approach with suppliers, the teams have a mirror organization of the Purchasing Department. Each business unit has an activity dedicated to the selection and management of suppliers and a development activity. The relationship with suppliers revolves around the qualification of the components and parts assembled into the finished products. Benchmarking of internal suppliers includes the robustness of the quality management system: ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 certification is required, followed by an on-site audit. Finally, throughout the partnership, materials and components are regularly checked upon receipt or during the manufacturing process. In each country and at the Engineering Center level, a team of experts monitors quality with the suppliers of more common products such as resins, paint, glue, chrome, tooling, etc. This year, the semiconductor crisis had an impact on supplier performance. The teams had to adapt their operations (stop & go) according to supplier production stoppages. The other consequence of this crisis was the lack of internal resources of suppliers, which could potentially impact the quality of the products delivered. HBPO, whose business depends heavily on its suppliers, had to increase the rate of supplier checks and audits in 2021 in order to monitor and filter out compliant products from non-compliant products as early as possible.
