Methodological note Preparation and compilation of this Statement of non-financial performance

 the other data is collected from extracts from the PeopleHR Human Resources Information System, then consolidated using PowerBI. The average headcount is calculated from the average of each month with the help of mapping tables;  health and safety: accidents that have resulted in a work stoppage of at least one day are taken into account for the calculation of the frequency and severity rates; and  training: All categories of training are taken into account. They can be technical or regulatory, relate to adaptation to the workplace or have the objective of developing employees’ skills. Environmental Data Information Information on environmental data may be subject to uncertainty inherent in the state of scientific or economic knowledge and the quality of the external data used. Certain information is subject to the methodological choices, assumptions and/or estimates used for its preparation and set out below: With regard to the environmental data published in this statement, the following should be specified:  all data published in the environmental section comply with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard 2015;  some missing data for Scopes 1 and 2 have been extrapolated, representing less than 5% of the subtotal;  improvements to the methodology for calculating Scope 3 emissions have been made in the following categories:  3-7, Commuting: a detailed questionnaire was sent to all employees to assess the overall carbon footprint following commuting of all employees, the response rate of 25% and an extrapolation to the rest reduced uncertainty on this category compared to last year,  3-11, Use of products sold: from the sales list of all products, the best-selling product was selected on the basis of the revenues generated, then from the technical characteristics and using the formula of the GHG Protocol-Cat.11, considering a recommended period of use of 3 years, the calculation of the emissions of the best-selling product is made, an extrapolation was made to deduct the rest of the emissions on the basis of % sales,  as far as possible, a precise calculation method is used, where appropriate an extrapolation has been made on the basis of the available information. This is the method used for transport. A coefficient of +15% (corresponding to the growth in sales compared to the previous year) was applied to the quantity of emissions from the previous year;

 the Exclusive Networks group includes in the accounting of its greenhouse gas emissions the environmental footprint of all vehicles used in its activities, which are mainly leased;  In the absence of inventory, the mass of materials purchased from suppliers, which is nearly 1,500 tons of electronic equipment, is considered equivalent to that of the products sold to customers. GHG accounting:  the following greenhouse gases were taken into account, converted into metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent (or tCO 2 eq) according to their Global Warming Potential: CO 2 , CH 4 , N 2 O, HFC, SF 6 , PFC, NF 3 and CFCs;  the calculation of the Group’s carbon footprint was carried out with the ADEME-Association Bilan Carbone (ABC) calculation tool in its version 8.8 of October 2022, following the rules of the GHG Protocol and with a level of uncertainty for each item. This tool allows you to display results in several standard formats, including that of the GHG Protocol; and  the emission factors are taken from the ADEME database, unless otherwise stated. Type of the data collected:  energy used in buildings, i.e. electricity, gas and fuel oil: based on invoices;  vehicle fleets: fuel consumed (petrol or diesel), based on invoices or estimates;  purchase and marketing of equipment: mass of equipment multiplied by a representative electronic equipment emission factor;  upstream and downstream transport: extraction of bulk data, distances travelled and transport methods from logistics providers, and application of an emission factor per transport modality (air or road);  business travel: data extracted from travel providers, extrapolated to the organisational scope;  waste produced on sites: estimation of the mass of tertiary waste per employee per year based on the “Ecoresponsable au bureau” guide, ADEME September 2022;  use of products sold: estimate of the average electricity consumption of a typical piece of equipment over a period of 3 years, multiplied by the electricity emission factor of the country of sale; and  end-of-life of the products sold: mass of equipment sold multiplied by the emission factor of electronic waste from the ADEME database.
