Reduction of the carbon footprint of the value chain (Scope 3) COLLABORATE : with all players in the value chain. To reduce Scope 3 emissions, priority is given to reducing emissions generated by the Group’s purchases and products sold. development of solutions and products to support the energy a. transition and reduce customers’ carbon footprints: in 2021, Plastic Omnium generated 10% (1) of its revenue from • fully-electric vehicles (BEV), the Group is strengthening its technologies and expertise in • zero-emission hydrogen solutions, with the objective of reaching €3 billion revenue by 2030. The Group has invested around €300 million since 2015, to which Є 100 million per year will be added over the coming years; incorporation of a growing share of recycled materials – from b. 20% to 100% – including in exterior aesthetic parts, an ambition that motivated a strategic partnership with a major Group supplier (for more information, see "Risk related to eco-design and recyclability"); collaboration and partnerships with Group suppliers to reduce c. the carbon impact of products and solutions in our value chain. The carbon footprint will become a criterion for selecting the Group’s suppliers. Plastic Omnium will put in place tools, best practices and indicators to monitor the progress of this approach. ENGAGE : suppliers The various projects will be carried out in collaboration with suppliers in a partnership approach. The integration of suppliers into the process will be gradual depending on their maturity and their impact on Plastic Omnium’s carbon footprint. Thus, in 2021, the first step was to develop a value chain engagement strategy: identify suppliers whose products contribute significantly to • emissions; define the terms of engagement by category of supplier; • set up targets, key performance indicators and monitoring tools. • At the end of 2021, the communication phase with suppliers began: meetings were held to explain Plastic Omnium’s strategy and expectations. A webcast was held in December bringing more than 500 suppliers together virtually. The event was an opportunity for Plastic Omnium to present to suppliers the approach that the Group is implementing and in which it wishes to fully integrate its stakeholders, as well as the new way in which suppliers will be assessed. The supplier selection criteria will also be reviewed with the Purchasing Department in order to include a carbon component (in addition to financial, solvency and ethics criteria, among others). To this end, a new tool will be offered to buyers to automate the monitoring of supplier responses on carbon issues, with the associated action plans.

In 2021, the Group’s total emissions amounted at 32.7 Mt eq CO 2 of which more than 87% were related to the use of products sold.

Calculation of the Group’s carbon footprint Since 2017, Plastic Omnium calculates its CO 2 emissions related to its activities annually according to the benchmark Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol standard. This standard defines three “Scopes” of emissions. The assessment is prepared on an overall scope corresponding to that of the Group’s financial consolidation (IFRS). In 2021, the carbon footprint amounted to 32.7 million metric tons eq. CO 2 , up by 0.9% while the Group’s consolidated revenue rose by 3.3% at constant scope and exchange rates. This performance is explained by strengthened positions in electrification, which made it possible to contain the increase in category 3.11 emissions - use of products sold, the main contributor with 87.3% of emissions. The semiconductor crisis has caused major logistical disruptions throughout the automotive sector. This erratic situation has required a great deal of flexibility in operations and resulted in an increase in the Group’s transportation carbon emissions. CO 2 emissions linked to the resumption of business travel, after a non-representative year due to the Covid crisis, nevertheless remained 57% lower than in 2019. This increase is partially offset by the decrease in emissions from home-work journeys reduced by the introduction of teleworking. Scopes 1 and 2 are paid particular attention at each of the Group’s sites, thus posting lower growth than that of activity, despite a year shaken by the unforeseeable shutdowns at the Group’s customers and not conducive to energy optimization. Plastic Omnium confirms that it is fully committed to an approach for measuring and reducing its carbon footprint consistent with its ambitious roadmap towards carbon neutrality.
