Mitigation actions

Acute physical: extreme weather events such as cyclones and floods

All the industrial sites are certified ISO 14001 and have implemented an emergency preparedness response plan. In case our facility in Byhalia cannot operate, Quadient would activate its business continuity plan consisting in: Employees telecommuting/home office and transfer of logistic and customization activities to our French facility executing the same activities for the European market. Supply chain is also evaluated. Natural risks prevention plans/Business continuity plan and backup plan are set up. Quadient has put in place process to ensure that in case of natural disaster, the production lines can be quickly transferred between industrial partners (equipment duplicate, etc.)

On account of their geographic location, some Quadient sites and some industrial partners and suppliers are exposed to natural disasters or events such as earthquakes, or to climatic phenomena such as hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, floods and tidal waves, which will occur increasingly often. The logistics center in the USA (Byhalia) and Quadient offices in Hong Kong appear to be the most exposed. These events are likely to affect the availability of parts and components necessary for the manufacturing of products, and to damage production facilities, slow the supply chain, temporarily interrupt production and distribution, and potentially threaten the safety of employees;
