EXTRA-FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF PERFORMANCE Reducing our environmental footprint

Commuting travels In commuting from home to work, Worldline strives to promote alternative modes of transport options other than individual petrol cars, as presented as follow. In 2019, Worldline France continued to roll-out its sustainable mobility plans, known as Plan De Mobilité (PDM), for each of its sites, including Mobility Inter-Firm Plans in Bezons and Blois. These plans involve different companies around the area and the city hall with the objective to collect ideas and best practices in order to help actors of the region improve public transportation. In general, the communication on the use of public transport for each site has also been improved and working groups are organised with town halls and other neighbouring companies to develop global alternative transport solutions to private car. Similar initiatives ought to be implemented in other countries to strengthen the global sustainability mobility programme: Public transportations: Worldline has been financing the ● public transportation cards of its employees for many years, sometimes even adding flexible policy like it is the case in the Netherlands. Thus, 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 flexibility and options regarding mobility. Generally, public transportation availability is one of the main criteria taken into account when considering a new office location; Electric vehicles: Worldline Belgium has installed one eCar ● charging station for visitors and plans to add 10 more charging stations by the start of 2020 to facilitate future car policies. In France, the Company plans to install charging stations for electric vehicles and bikes in its car parks in Seclin, Blois, Vendôme, Rennes and Villeurbanne

sites in response to the growing expectations of its employees for their private electric vehicles. At Worldline Luxembourg, in order to make the new green car policy popular, a road show was organised in September 2020 together with ALD, their leaser, and presented a selection of full electric and PHEV cars from different brands; Bicycles: the Company has implemented a subsidy for ● bicycle use to go to work and granted parking spaces (with sometimes charging stations for electrical bikes) on its main sites in Belgium (since 2016 with the “bike to work” programme, which should be strengthened in the coming years as requested by employees in the 2018 mobility survey), in France (since 2016 with the “use your bike” programme and has doubled in 2019), and in Germany (since 2016 with the “Company bicycle” agreement and bicycle parking spaces created in 2017 in the Frankfurt site). Additionally, German sites also offer their employees to lease bicycles thanks to the JobRad platform; Carpooling: the Company promotes a carpooling platform ● that was launched in France in 2017 for its employees through a mobile application fostering social connections and empowering an eco-responsible behaviour. More generally, in 2019, Worldline organised the “Sustainable Mobility Week” event in order to raise awareness on sustainable mobility alternatives to emit less CO 2 emissions (refer to this document, Section D.5.1.2.2). The remote working strategy of the Company (often 2 days/home weekly) is also strongly promoted as a lever to reduce unnecessary trips and thus restrain CO 2 emissions while generating benefits to the work/life balance of employees. As it can be observed in the chart below, the number of total KM travelled per employee significantly decreased between 2019 and 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 crisis.
