The CSR Committee's roles and responsibilities include:

  • examining the Group's CSR strategy, objectives, policies and commitments (ethics and compliance, human rights, employee health and safety, the environment) and issuing the appropriate recommendations;
  • ensuring the integrity, completeness and outstanding quality of the CSR strategy and initiatives being led and reported by the Group;
  • ensuring that the Company and the Group are fully and properly engaged in the areas of non- financial compliance, ethics and corporate social responsibility, in line with stakeholder expectations.

To fulfill this remit, the CSR Committee:

  • verifies that the internal CSR management system is robust and meets the needs and external requirements that it identified;
  • receives the presentation of the Group's CSR risk map every year; it reviews, together with the
    Audit Committee, the risks and opportunities thus identified and is kept informed of their evolution and of the characteristics of their management systems;
  • reviews the Group's CSR-related policies, guidelines and standards and ensures that they are effective;
  • issues opinions and forward-looking recommendations concerning the completeness of the issues covered by the reporting systems, the annual statement of non-financial performance and, more generally, any CSR-related disclosures required by law;
  • reviews and assesses reporting procedures for non-financial indicators (environment, health and safety, employee relations);
  • monitors and addresses the CSR topics covered by the Group's CSR governance both in terms of actions and monitoring indicators, in particular in light of weaknesses identified by the Committee;
  • conducts an annual review of a summary of the Group's non-financial ratings and recommends pathways to improvement.

The CSR Committee can draw upon the resources of the Group's internal CSR management system and acts as an external watchdog on CSR issues.

The guiding principles for the coordination of responsibilities between the CSR Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Appointments Committee are:

  • The CSR Committee is responsible for reviewing all the policies and ambitions related to CSR;
  • The CSR Committee coordinates its action with the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Appointments Committee to take into account:
    • The fact that the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing all the risks;
    • The fact that the Compensation and Appointments Committee proposes to the Board the definition and implementation of the following policies:
      o Human resources planning and development o Diversities and inclusion
      o Compensation and succession plans of management
  • The CSR Committee may make recommendations to the Supervisory Board in terms of:
