Our environmental governance D.5.1.2 [GRI 103-1 Energy] [GRI 103-2 Energy] [GRI 103-2 Indirect

policy is to provide all stakeholders with high level principles, over the short and long term, on the Company's environmental challenges and commitments, including energy efficiency policies, carbon emission targets, procurement actions, electronic waste management, etc. The two environmental risks identified by Worldline (refer to this document, Section D.5.1.1), i.e. climate change and circular economy, are monitored through the Company’s Environmental Board. This body uses different tools and processes to mitigate these risks, such as the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process (refer to this document, Section D.1.2.2), the Legal Risk Mapping and its own Environmental Management System (EMS). The EMS, in line with the ISO 14001 standard, seeks to address environmental issues specific to sites and introduce regular additional actions to reduce Worldline's environmental footprint. In this context, Worldline has decided, since 2012, to seek ISO 14001 certification for its main offices sites (over 500 employees) and all its own strategic data denters – see the following table. In total in 2019, 11 strategic sites of Worldline are certified, which represents 53% of the total headcount and 84.62% of operational facilities with more than 500 employees or with strategic data centers. In 2019, two new office sites were certified in Utrecht (The Netherlands) and Villeurbanne (France). The Bezons site (France) with more than 500 employees and the sites of Barcelona and Madrid (Spain) are ISO 14001 certified by the Atos group and Worldline has initiated the transfer of these certifications on its behalf since the separation of the two groups in 2019. In addition, Worldline also launched in 2019 the certification project for Mumbai (India) and Zurich (Switzerland). Worldline has implemented an EMS for all its ISO 14001 certified sites ( i.e. all sites above 500 employees and strategic data centers).
