EXTRA-FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF PERFORMANCE Being a responsible employer

Hacky Days: new “Tech sessions” within Worldline The Hacky Days are a bottom-up initiative which consists in the internal gathering of technical experts to experiment new methods of collaborative work, while sharing team building moments. In 2018, the two editions of the Hacky Days on three different locations gathered over 150 employees from developer to manager, who worked on various topics related

to security, DevOps approach, development tools, and collaborative work to present concrete achievements in closing ceremonies in front of the teams and many guests. The 2019 edition reinforced this initiative, notably by inviting professors and students from universities and engineer

schools.
