4.3.1 PROMOTING DIVERSITY

AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

Diversity and inclusion are part of the Group’s DNA. They represent an asset to the Company and a key to the effectiveness of its teams. Rubis has committed to outlaw any discrimination based on origin, religion, gender or sexual orientation, state of health and/or disability, political opinions, religious beliefs or family situation. These values are

clearly stated in its Code of Ethics. To ensure that everyone is protected against potential discrimination, a workplace whistleblowing system is being gradually rolled out in Group subsidiaries (Rubis Integrity Line), so that any situation undermining the Group’s values can be flagged. The Integrity Line enables all Group employees, as well as external and temporary workers, to report any such

situation in a secure way via a website (see section 4.4.1.1). Since combating discrimination corresponds to a major social issue, the Group has set itself the target of zero discrimination in all cases reported, notably via its ethics hotline.

4.3.1.1 GENDER EQUALITY IN THE WORKPLACE

RISKS In an industrial environment where most employees are assigned to operational tasks, with hours and working conditions that can sometimes be difficult, the Group’s

headcount has historically been dominated by men. In line with its principles of non- discrimination and convinced that lack of diversity is damaging to value creation, the

Group has set up initiatives to bring out talent without any gender distinction.
