Corporate Social Responsibility report Reducing our environmental footprint through eco-efficient operations [GRI 419-1]

strict rules on storage, safety and other environmental precautions. On average, Worldline Belgium processes 50 tons of WEEE each year. The management of waste payment Terminals is similar in France. Waste is processed by Lumiver Optim and Defabnord, in accordance with the European WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU).

In France, Worldline has launched a “use your bike” subsidy for people who use their own bicycle to go to work. In Germany, there is a new 2017 initiative concerning bicycle parking spaces in Frankfurt, which enables employees to go to their office by bicycle, thus reducing commuting emissions. Germany sites also offer their employees to lease bicycles thanks to the JobRad platform. Focus on electric cars alternative At offices in some countries, such as Worldline Germany or Bezons in France, electric cars are available for employees’ business travel and some free charging stations have been installed. The Frankfurt site has acquired a Renault Zoe-brand fleet with 100% green energy in order to limit its environmental footprint. In France, electric cars are also available for employees’ business travel in Bezons. In Blois, Worldline has invested in recharging stations for employees’ private electric vehicles to encourage them to use this mode of transport for commuting. Worldline Belgium also invested, at the end of 2017, in an electric loading station for electric cars. Focus on carpooling alternative The Company promotes a new carpooling initiative for employees through a mobile application fostering social connections and empowering an eco-responsible behavior. This carpooling project, launched by Atos, has been implemented in Worldline France.

Business travel: Encouraging

sustainablemobility [GRI 103-2 Emissions]

Promotion of alternativemodes of transport to reduce CO 2 emissions of individual vehicles Business travel represents a significant portion of Worldline’s carbon footprint. As part of its environmental commitment to promote sustainable mobility, Worldline intends to limit business travel and encourages the use of smart and responsible modes of transportation. To this end, the Company develops different incentives deployed with the Work Council to promote alternative mobility options other than individual cars such as (electric) bicycles, carpooling or fostering the use of electric cars, thus limiting the CO 2 emissions related to its employees’ mobility. To encourage the use of smart and eco responsible means of transportation, in some countries Worldline finances the public transportation cards of employees. For example, equensWorldline Netherlands employees receive a “Radiuz Mobility Card” that enables automobile users, alongside their lease vehicle, to opt for alternative forms of mobility, such as public transport. The Radiuz card is offering employees increased freedom of choice regarding mobility. In addition, the use of remote working and digital collaboration is strongly promoted by the Company as a lever to reduce environmental footprint and operational costs while generating benefits to the work/life balance of employees. Focus on bicycle alternative: implementing a subsidy for bicycle use, granting parking spaces, easing bike lease, etc. In 2016, Worldline Belgium enlarged the bicycle underground parking area and acquired and installed a compact loading station for electric bikes, consistent with its participation in the Belgium “bike to work” (aller au travail à vélo) program, which aims to promote commuting without carbon emissions. Moreover, in 2017, a workgroup was launched to enhance a greener fleet (introduction of a fleet of electric cars and Compressed-Natural-Gas cars, to support the energy transition).
