NOTES REGARDING METHODOLOGY AND THE CSR REPORTING SCOPE

CSR reporting scope

Changes in the scope of reporting or calculation methodologies do not always make it possible to draw a relevant comparison of data for the 2020 and 2019 financial years. These changes are mentioned and specified for the indicators whenever they have occurred in order to facilitate the correct interpretation of the indicators. Furthermore, some indicators have not been mentioned in this report since they were deemed not relevant to the activity exercised by Quadient. This information concerns the environment with the indicator relating to land use and biodiversity, food waste and sustainable food. The reporting process for 2020 was set forth in detail in a CSR reporting protocol for the collection of the necessary quantitative and qualitative information. This protocol was deployed in English in all Quadient entities and is also available on the secured CSR website. It was used to clarify the definitions and calculation methods for each indicator and to detail the steps of the reporting process, as indicated below: planning, collection, consolidation of qualitative and ● quantitative data and consistency check; data verification: in accordance with regulations, ● Quadient submitted the information contained in this CSR report for audit. In January 2021, as it has been the case every year since 2015, specific "web meetings" were also proposed to entities that wanted to develop certain aspects of the reporting further. Quantitative data was collected from the entities using dashboards and the qualitative data was collected through online questionnaires accessible on the secured website dedicated to CSR benchmarks in the various countries. Reporting process

The information presented below concerns the consolidated entities of Quadient as at 31 January 2021 included in the CSR reporting scope. The reporting scope was established pursuant to articles L.233-1 and L.233-3 of the French commercial code and covers all the company’s activities in accordance with the rules defined below. The reporting scope includes all entities under the company’s operational control at 31 January of the reporting year and meeting one of the following two conditions: all entities with activities related to the supply chain ● (manufacturing, assembly, customization, purchases and logistics); all entities exercising R&D, retail or finance activities, ● and having more than 25 employees (with the exception of the consolidated reporting scopes for Quadient s.r.o, Quadient Norge, Quadient Germany and Quadient Inc.). The following are therefore excluded from the scope of reporting: Quadient India, Quadient Finance Ireland Ltd, Quadient Finance France, Quadient Mailing Logistic Systems, Quadient Global Services Ltd, YayPay and Packcity Japan. Thus, 98 people are excluded, representing 1.9 of the total employees of the company. The scope of CSR reporting therefore represents 98.1 of the global workforce. In addition, during the 2020 financial year, ProShip and Quadient Oceania were disvested. When one of the Company’s entities is not able to provide data for one specific indicator, and no estimation can be made, the entity is excluded from the indicator in question and an explanatory note specifies the scope or calculation method used for each indicator.
