Social and societal information Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I)

Outreach and communication In terms of awareness-raising, “Social respect” training aimed at raising awareness and preventing all forms of harassment has been delivered to all employees in the United Kingdom and to the entire Human Resources function before a wider roll-out in 2024. General organisation of working conditions The organisation of working time is adapted to the needs of the Group. Within the various sites, the work of employees is organised within the framework of local regulations, which vary from one legislation to another. The elements associated with working conditions and social dialogue are more particularly detailed in the previous sections. In addition, the Group undertakes to comply with regulations on working conditions (working hours, rest periods, holidays). The Group must constantly develop its sites in order to improve its operational performance and the working conditions of its employees (see section 7.8 below “ Health & Safety ”, which describes the work carried out on certain sites). Policy Exclusive Networks wanted to strengthen its commitment to diversity and inclusion with the launch of its first diversity, equity and inclusion policy on 8 March 2023, International Women’s Day. In particular, the Group undertakes to:  create an inclusive work environment;  promote equal opportunities and combat all forms of discrimination;  promote diversity and equality of resources in all their forms: creation of action plans focussed on career advancement, equal pay, training and work-life balance;  promote cultural and ethnic diversity, and diversity of origins: Exclusive Networks expects its employees to recognise, respect, and welcome all cultural differences wherever it operates;  respect and accept all sexual orientations and gender identities; and  take into account intergenerational differences: it is important for Exclusive Networks to value both the experienced vision of seniors and the innovative spirit of young talent. This policy, as well as the Code of Conduct, which sets out the commitments in terms of non-discrimination, formalise the commitments to mutual respect and diversity within the Group. As part of this policy, Exclusive Networks is committed to fostering, adopting, encouraging and preserving a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) and to taking concrete actions to combat all forms of discrimination.

Actions implemented Whistleblowing procedure

Since 2021, the Group has had an outsourced whistleblowing system, which allows the reporting of any violation of the provisions set out in the Code of Conduct. This system is more specifically presented in section 8.3 below. No incidents were reported via the whistleblowing system in relation to a human rights violation in 2023 or 2022. If a violation were to be reported, it would then be investigated and an associated action plan implemented.

Commitments to the prevention of psychological harassment

Exclusive Networks prohibits any attitude that may offend the dignity of persons, in particular any form of harassment. The whistleblowing procedure referred to above makes it possible to deal with such situations.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I)

Context The Group promotes a diverse, equitable and inclusive world free from bias, gender stereotypes and discrimination and where difference is valued and celebrated. Diversity, equity and inclusion are the daily reality of how we live and work within the Exclusive Networks group, and how we work with all business partners. Diversity, equity and inclusion are fully integrated into the Company’s organisation in all areas and at all stages of working life: recruitment, training, compensation, geographical mobility and career development. The Group is convinced that its performance depends on the quality and commitment of its employees and that a pleasant and respectful working environment benefits everyone and makes the Group more efficient and productive. Respect for individuals and equal opportunities are core values of Exclusive Networks. All employees, managers and executives must take part for the strategy to be effective. Executives are the guarantors of this for all their employees. Promoting this environment is an important lever for attracting, creating loyalty and retaining talent, ensuring their engagement and fostering and creating places and spaces where all employees thrive. It is by building on these values that the Group will continue to deliver superior business results, sustainable growth and drive innovation to maintain its competitive edge in its industry.
