Global warming Evaluation through measurement, notably via a Carbon Assessment®, helps find appropriate solutions for the main challenges, which are: transportation of products; – energy used on the sites and the vehicle fleet; – indirect purchases; – mobility. – Optimum balance is sought between feasibility and reducing GHG emissions.

During 2020, roadmaps were developed as part of a three-year strategic plan. The main initiatives are: products: the development of technology ensuring reduced – consumption in standby mode; sites: signing of green electricity supply contracts, – replacement of incandescent bulbs with LED, gradual electrification of the vehicle fleet. The following initiatives relate to Somfy Activités SA: mobility: – organisation of a “Mobility Challenge” day, ● use by employees of car sharing app, Klaxit, ● 56 employees declared 28,556 km as part of the Cycling ● Mileage Allowance, bicycle event created by the Écomobilité Savoie Mont ● Blanc agency, 20 employees use the electric vehicle charging points ● provided, use of a lorry fuelled by gas to transport products between ● the different Haute-Savoie sites; improvement of the energy performance of the buildings: – better insulation, ● system for managing energy consumption. ● continued implementation of quality policies in factories, – aimed at reducing the number of assembly defects and thus related rejects. The defects are analysed, grouped by type, and type 8D methodologies are structured via a system of Short Interval Meetings (SIM). This operating standard is applied in all factories; at the end of the assembly lines, products identified as – non-compliant are repaired or rejected. The subunits of these rejected products are sorted according to type of material and sent to waste collection and processing operators;

Depletion of natural resources The Group is determined to limit waste and rejects in its industrial assembly activities and to reduce the use of cardboard for packaging finished products.

a machine for cutting customised boxes was installed at the – international logistics site (Somfy Activités SA) with the aim of achieving a 7,000m 2 reduction in the use of cardboard per year.

Impact on biodiversity Somfy is keen to protect biodiversity and has several sites in regions where protecting biodiversity is a major issue:

Somfy Activités SA is a member of the Club d’Entreprises pour – la Montagne et son Développement Durable (CEM2D); five beehives were installed in 2020 at various Somfy – Activités SA sites; the SOPEM factory complies with strict requirements – regarding the protection of its local environment. Compliance with environmental standards was also a precondition for setting up any plant.

Somfy Activités SA, located in the heart of the French Alps, – close to Mont Blanc, wants to act to protect the mountain ecosystem and is involved in local initiatives; the SOPEM factory in Poland is located on the edge of two – protected sites belonging to the Natura 2000 network:

Puszcza Niepolomicka PLB 120002, ● Torfowisko Wielkie PLH120080. ●

The eco ambassadors working as part of the Green teams pillar convey a spirit of environmental responsibility within Somfy and are key players in the roll-out of these policies.
