03 NON-FINANCIAL STATEMENT
CONSERVING RESOURCES —
The operations at the Group’s industrial sites involve assembling metal and plastic parts to create finished products. These assembled products use processes such as embedding, screwing and clipping. These operations do not use water or effluents, or products likely to cause discharges into the air, soil or collection network.

As water consumption is solely related to non-industrial use (toilets, showers), the return of all employees on-site in 2022 resulted in an overall increase in this impact, in addition to a leak at one of the sites. The resources used by SOMFY are mainly related to the materials andenergy used to manufacture its finished products: – for its products, SOMFY is promoting the use of recycled materials, starting with packaging (recycled cardboard and foam wedges expanded with biogas); – half of the electricity used is from renewable sources. The aimis to reach 100% by 2030. PROMOTING THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY — SOMFY participates in the collection of end-of-life products through its contribution to eco-organisations (Ecosytems, Corepile, etc.) and promotes this sector among its customers to optimise the collection of used products. As previously mentioned, SOMFY promotes eco-design by promoting the most energy-efficient designs possible and the use of recycled materials. At operational level, SOMFY has modernised its facilities to reduce energy consumption and re-used functional components of finished products not fit for sale. In addition, waste is sorted and 93% was recycled in 2022, compared to 89% in 2021.

The recycling rate of waste has increased thanks to the actions carried out in 2022, namely, the change of service providers and improved waste sorting. These efforts are complemented by the introduction of returnable bins for supplier flows to replace cardboard packaging, which should bear fruit in 2023. Product sustainability is also a lever for action. For example, commercial warranty periods have been extended to seven years on products such as the S&SO RS100.
