Actions implemented Performance Appraisal & Career Development An annual interview is organised to enable all employees to discuss with their manager the appraisal of their performance, the objectives for the coming year, their work-life balance, training and development opportunities in their functions as well as career development prospects. This process concerns all Group employees present on 30 September of the previous year. In 2023, 99% of employees benefited from a performance appraisal and career development interview with their manager. Training & Individual Development Training is a key success factor for the Group. Human Resources teams in each country have the opportunity to adapt their training to the challenges and opportunities specific to their scope. This gives them the flexibility to adjust and refine the local approach. The Group offers a variety of comprehensive training programmes to enable employees to develop and improve their skills consistently. The programmes cover various themes such as public speaking, or the development of managerial or leadership skills. The proposed formats differ according to the themes addressed, the targets and the objectives pursued. Training sessions can be carried out face-to-face or remotely (e-learning, virtual classes), in Groups or individually. Two types of training are offered to employees:  “technical” training, which aims to stay at the cutting edge and support the maintenance and development of employees’ technical skills in their profession. These courses are essential in cybersecurity, a sector in which innovation is constant. This may include, but

is not limited to, training or certification provided by suppliers on new products or technologies, which in some cases may require personnel working on these products to be certified;  training aimed at developing behavioural and personal skills (“soft skills”). At the global level, the pilot programme that was launched in 2021 in the form of an e-learning platform, under the slogan “ Learn, Engage, Grow: a unique experience to be at the heart of your personal development ” is being extended and renewed. This campaign targets a specific Group of employees, identified by their manager in collaboration with local Human Resources Managers. The regular animation of the community of learners allows a good learning dynamic that the Group has reinforced by the structuring of impactful and specific recommended content. The Group is renewing this initiative in 2024 with a main focus on talents and managerial functions. The personal development platform used by the Human Resources Department is recognised as the best in this field, with a digital library of more than 16,000 courses covering a wide range of technical, business, software, marketing and creative topics, accessible in more than 10 languages. The benefits of this system are:  unlimited personal access;  multi-device access;  multiple formats available (videos, courses, learning paths);  flexible duration (from 2 minutes to several hours);  different levels, from beginner to advanced; and  personalised course recommendations.
