(1) The work of the TCFD, carried out under the aegis of the G20’s Financial Stability Board, is one of the most important developments in the area of climate reporting by businesses. The Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB), an international consortium of businesses and environmental NGOs, works with the TCFD on these issues. 5.5. Environmental impact

Evaluation of the supply chain by EcoVadis This subject is discussed in further detail in Chapter 3, Section 3.6.1 of the 2017 Registration Document. Purchase of environmentally accredited paper Sopra Steria puts in place solutions to limit paper consumption (paperless processes, optimised printing, etc.). However, for business reasons, the Group sometimes needs to produce paper versions of certain documents. In such cases, in most countries in which it operates, Sopra Steria places a priority on purchasing environmentally accredited paper. Since 2016, the Group has been monitoring paper consumption and the use of environmentally accredited paper to evaluate the best solutions to roll out (country-specific information on purchases of environmentally accredited paper can be found in Chapter 3, Section 7.11.5 of the 2017 Registration Document).

To reduce its environmental impact, Sopra Steria seeks first and foremost to conserve resources and draw on innovative alternative sources. The Group involves its supply chain in this approach. Furthermore, the Group, which has financial control over joint ventures SSCL and NHS SBS, has opted to produce reporting that incorporates all emissions and consumption for these entities, over which it also has operational control.
