Michelin - Forests 2022

F0. Introduction

F0.1

(F0.1) Give a general description of and introduction to your organization.

Since 1889, Michelin has constantly innovated to facilitate the mobility of people and goods. Today, the Group is setting the standard across every tire and travel-related services market, while leading a global strategy to drive responsible, sustainable and profitable growth. In short, Michelin is making mobility safer, cleaner, more connected and more accessible. Michelin enjoys exceptional geographic coverage and is stepping up its deployment in emerging markets. Currently operating in 26 countries at 123 production facilities and 9 research centers, and 7,900 dealerships and service centers in 30 countries. Michelin employs a total of 125,000 people worldwide. Net sales in 2021 were €23.7 billion.

Technological leader in tires and tracks and the world's leading brand of premium tires for individuals and businesses, the Michelin group works closely with manufacturers to bring innovations to all markets (sustainable tires, connected tires, radial tires for agricultural machinery, civil engineering, aircraft and off-road solutions). Associated brands and services also include dealerships and service centers (Euromaster, TBC, TyrePlus), online retailing (Allopneus, Blackcircles) and wholesalers (Euromaster and Ihle AG).

As the market leader in connected tires and a major partner in digital fleet management, the Michelin Group offers its corporate customers services and solutions that improve their performance, simplify their maintenance, increase asset uptime, enhance their safety performance, reduce their costs and attenuate their environmental impact. Unveiled in November 2021, the Michelin Connected Fleet umbrella brand now consolidates all the fleet Services & Solutions under a single identity, enhancing the synergies among Sascar, Masternaut, and Michelin's long-standingtire-related products and services. The new solution will be gradually deployed around the world.

In June 2021 Michelin launched "WATEA by Michelin" to support its corporate customers in transitioning to zero-emission mobility.

Michelin enjoys unrivaled expertise in high-tech materials, from their properties and possible combinations to their process engineering and applications. Already a core factor in the unique sustainable performance of the Group's tires, these capabilities are being enhanced and marketed to customers in other industries through a proactive policy of acquisitions, incubators and partnerships as part of specialized joint ventures. The high-tech materials business is organized around four divisions: - High-tech sustainable flexible composites (composites solutions: Fenner, Fabri Cote, AirCaptif; Polymer components: ResiCare, AraNea Composite; Sustainable materials: Pyrowave, Enviro, Lehigh and Biobuterfly) . - Medical applications, expanding the range of biocompatible products, in particular for use in regenerative medicine and cell therapy. - Metal 3D printing with AddUP, a 50/50 joint venture created in 2016 with industrial engineering specialist Fives. AddUP markets a comprehensive range of metal 3D printing solutions comprising machines and software, consulting and training services, and component design and production. - Hydrogen mobility, making the Symbio joint venture with Faurecia a world leader in hydrogen mobility systems (hydrogen fuel cell systems for light vehicles, commercial vehicles, trucks and other applications).

Comment

The countries listed account for more than 95% of natural rubber volumes used by the Group in 2021. We have 100% traceability to our direct suppliers (natural rubber processing factories) and are working with them to better understand our indirect suppliers through supply chain mapping and risk mapping initiatives. This includes our suppliers who primarily source from smallholder farmers, where supply chains can be especially complex and be several layers deep with multiple intermediaries. To help tackle this, we are deploying the RubberWay® tool with prioritized suppliers which empowers them to map environmental and social risks throughout their supply chains, through a field-ready questionnaire housed on a mobile application, which aggregates risk mapping data on a dashboard so that Michelin and natural rubber suppliers can prioritize interventions. This dashboard includes an actual map showing the geographical sourcing areas where the RubberWay® tool has been deployed, within a country, at a jurisdiction level.

Please explain

Michelin (Plantações Michelin da Bahia ltda) manages 4578 hectares of land in Bahia, Brazil. Of this, 3182 hectares are officially designated as protected areas (either Reserva Legal, Área de Preservação Permanente or Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural), and most of this area is managed as part of the Michelin Ecological Reserve (see F1.4). Of the 1366 hectares currently designated as 'Areas Productivas' (Productive Area), over 700 hectares are now managed under the purview of the Michelin Ecological Reserve as of 2021; production activities in these rubber groves have stopped with the aim to restore a natural forest matrix and increase connectivity for the adjacent reserve areas. This makes the Pachanga River valley the only one in the region with no economic or agricultural activity. The rest of the Productive Area is primarily dedicated to research and development of varieties resistant to pest and disease. Since the property was acquired in the 1980's, all forest areas have been retained and set aside area has been increased. In the period since Michelin undertook its Sustainable Natural Rubber Policy, this status of no conversion has been maintained. Deforestation monitoring and biodiversity protection is conducted primarily through physical monitoring by a dedicated team of five rangers hired from the local community.

Please explain

Michelin (Plantações Michelin da Bahia ltda) manages 4,578 hectares of land in Bahia, Brazil. Of this, 3,182 hectares are officially designated as protected areas (either Reserva Legal, Área de Preservação Permanente or Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural), and most of this area is managed as part of the Michelin Ecological Reserve. In total, 3,900 hectares of the property are managed under the purview of the reserve. The reserve was created to preserve one of the world's most species-rich tropical rainforests, the southern Bahian Atlantic rainforest, in a region suffering from widespread deforestation and environmental degradation. This area includes primary forest, mature secondary forest, and pioneer forest on retired rubber groves that have been incorporated into the reserve over time as restoration areas. The retired rubber groves are in various stages of natural succession, with 300 hectares having undergone enrichment planting with native species as part of the reserve's restoration program. Other than non-forest ecosystems such as wetlands and water bodies, and including the pioneer/regenerating forests in the restoration areas, it can be said that the area is largely covered by natural forests.
