4 CSR AND NON-FINANCIAL INFORMATION - Limiting our environmental impact and operating in a safe environment

Training as a means of preventing risks Given the risk s as soc iated with it s activities, the Group is investing in training its employees in health, safety and the environment. Detailed data are provided in section 4.3.2. Results Accidents at work Although the number of accidents at work recorded by the subsidiaries’ Human

Resources Departments was up on the previous year (42 in 2019 compared with 34 in 2018), the health and safety efforts made in recent years by operational subsidiaries through raising employee awareness of the risks related to activities (see section 4.3.2.2) and improving QHSE procedures (see section 4.2), have gradually and significantly reduced the frequency of accidents at work, which have dropped over 40% over the last 5 years (9.7 in 2015 compared with 5.8 in 2019, per million hours worked).

While the change in this frequency rate is a key monitoring indicator for the Group, the teams are working hard to ensure all accidents are reported, whatever their area of occurrence. The Group thus strives to ensure its reporting is as complete as required by European regulations. In addition to the analysis of the change in frequency rate, quality of reporting, which can lead to a rise, is thus also a key indicator of safety culture.

In 2019, the Group unfortunately experienced a fatal accident involving one of its drivers, in Nigeria.

The rate of absenteeism for accidents at work and occupational illnesses is still very low across the Group as a whole, standing at 0.15% in 2019. Annual fluctuations were

largely due to certain long-term absences, which have a more pronounced impact on the figures of companies with few employees.
