III. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF PRODUCTS

1. Description of the risk

The Carbon Assessment® conducted in 2020 using 2019 data confirmed the findings of the assessment completed on 2011 data: 93% of the Group’s GHG emissions are connected with the manufacture and use of the products, of which 78% was related to power consumption when in use and 22% to the use of the raw materials required for their manufacture. The main risk is therefore global warming, through the increase in GHG emissions. 2. Policies 3. Initiatives

Global warming A policy of eco-design has been implemented with the reduction of greenhouse gases emissions as a priority. These products are awarded an Act for Green label when they meet stringent eco-design requirements. Act for Green is based on a framework taken into account by Research & Development teams. It incorporates requirements that are broken down according to several subject areas: controlling greenhouse gas emissions through moderate – power use and the choice of appropriate raw materials; seeking to use recycled and recyclable raw materials in the – composition of products; materials selected for their low impact on health and the – environment; product durability; – a statement of the environmental impacts in line with the PEP – ecopassport® programme in which Somfy participates. This programme, developed by the electricity industry, defines a standardised method for making environmental declarations in accordance with international regulations (ISO 14025 & ISO 14040s). The information contained in this PEP ecopassport® has been independently verified by Bureau Veritas CODDE.

Somfy Activités SA’s R&D teams are piloting these eco-design initiatives for the products for the entire Group: in 2020, Act for Green certification of products continued in – accordance with a roadmap developed with the functions concerned; in order to integrate new technologies and the expanded – product range, the technical certification framework has been improved; an assessment of the technologies for reducing consumption – has been completed and incorporated into a three-year plan.
