Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant level of charity actions and events have been postponed to 2021 (a) or replaced by online events that have not been tracked. A new platform is being implemented in 2021 to better monitor the Company's efforts.

Embody the Company's values by supporting communities in the fields of Education & Decent Employment, Inclusion & Diversity and the reduction of waste and pollution

At the end of 2020, Quadient also began to define a philanthropy policy aligned with its values and to identify an international community network to deploy the program and to train employees on the platform. The main objective is to deploy a philanthropic program with charity events at local or corporate level but also skills-based sponsorship, in-kind donations, financial donations, volunteering, but also to develop a dialogue with communities and to start measuring the social impact of the Company. Quadient held celebrations and fundraising events in over 20 countries in honour of International Women’s Day 2020, raising money for local women’s charities, in line with its values and the cause of Diversity & Inclusion. Quadient raised 5,000 euros and received numerous donations of clothing and shoes for local associations that support women. The Company supplemented this fundraising effort with a donation of 5,000 euros to Dress for Success, in anticipation of a growing urgency for services given the rise in unemployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dress for Success is a global-non-profit organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence as economies reopen and organizes solidarity initiatives to support employees during the crisis. The structure provides a network of professional support and development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. ORGANIZING FUNDRAISING EVENTS IN HONOR OF INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY 2020

BUILDING A PHILANTHROPIC PROGRAM AT CORPORATE LEVEL In May 2020, the CSR team ran a global survey to understand how to best increase Quadient’s engagement in its communities. Quadient received 660 replies, which represents around 10 of its employees among 26 countries mainly in the USA, France, UK, Germany, and Czech Republic. Five top causes came out of the survey and three were finally adopted in the fields of Education & Decent Employment, Inclusion & Diversity and the Reduction of Waste and Pollution. Furthermore, the most popular types of engagement reported were volunteering and skills-based sponsorship, followed by donations and fundraising. Over 80 of respondents said they would be interested in supporting local communities. Based on the strong interest shown by employees, Quadient decided to take the next steps to build a unified philanthropy program at corporate level. In 2021, this program will take shape with the support and sponsorship of the Strategy & CSR Committee, the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. In this context, a call for tenders was launched in September 2020 to find a Community engagement platform that allows employees to engage in volunteering or sponsorship projects and tracks engagement towards communities at corporate level. This platform will be progressively deployed worldwide from April to the Summer 2021.
