Identification of principal risks, definition of policies and KPIs

The Group s principal risks were selected by the Risk department in cooperation with the various teams involved in the preparation of the document: HR, Corporate Services, Purchasing, Compliance, Communications, ESG teams within the business lines, the endowment fund. This identification process was based on the list of CSR subjects contained in Ordinance no. 2017-1265 of 9 August 2017.

Each of these subjects is rated according to five criteria, ranging from 0 (lowest score) to 5 (highest score):

HUMAN → Impact on the company s employees

FINANCIAL → Impact on the company s results and investment capacity

OPERATIONAL → Impact on performance, business activities and the quality of services

ENVIRONMENTAL → Impact on the ability to comply with laws and the conservation of resources

Only subjects with an average rating higher than 3 are deemed one of the Group s principal non-financial risks.

The ratings are assigned on the basis of expert opinions.

The Group Chief Risk Officer and the Group Executive Risk Committee are responsible for the final validation of this identification process.
