03 NON-FINANCIAL STATEMENT
SOMFY’S RESPONSES TO NON-FINANCIAL RISKS
Somfy responds to these risks in a structured and organised way based on the three pillars that correspond to the three “petals” of its Sustainable Development Strategy. A. PLANET — I. ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE GOVERNANCE The implementation of Somfy’s environmental performance is based on four pillars that help to reduce the environmental impact of the Group’s activities. They include: Green products: reducing the environmental impact of the Group’s products by applying the principles of eco-design; – Green operations: reducing the environmental impact of the Group’s operations; – Green teams: implementing, through a network of employees, environmentally responsible practices in their places of work; – Green benefits: solutions developed by Somfy to improve user customers’ energy efficiency. –

The role of the Environmental Performance Department is to define and implement these strategies within the Group. It reports to the Sustainable Development Department and to the Sustainable Development Operating Committee. Roadmaps are prepared for each of these four elements in collaboration with the relevant functions within the Group. The priority for this overall policy of environmental responsibility is to combat global warming by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A Carbon Assessment® was carried out in 2020 using data from 2019, across scopes 1, 2 and 3 for the entire Group. It found that 93% of GHG emissions were related to the manufacture and use of Somfy products (indirect scope 3 emissions) and 7% to the operations of the Group’s sites (scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions).
