2019 DECLARATION OF NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE DESCOURS & CABAUD GROUP 37 MANDATORY THEMES (Article L225-102-1, 2°-III of the French Commercial Code) Social, environmental and societal data must be processed and provided in the Declaration of Non-Financial Performance. Some of this data is not considered relevant to the Group's business and is therefore not provided. 4. The consequences on climate change of the Company's activity The main impacts of our distribution sector are transport-related carbon emissions (trips by sales representatives, the logistics of products sold, etc.) and our administrative buildings. Our sales activity still consumes a lot (but significantly lower amount) of paper and waste, which is the subject of specific action plans. We have defined a number of priorities to reduce these impacts. Here are some examples: • The logistical organisation of subsidiaries based on platforms that are optimised by the concentration of stocks, the rationalisation of the range and logistical resources. These measures must result in lower global stock levels, reduced surface areas and energy consumption, and optimised conditions of transport • Travel consumption has been closely monitored in order to quantify our impact. Actions have already been taken on the vehicle fleet. Light vehicles are replaced every 4 years on average, meaning that the Group can benefit from the latest technologies and make constant improvements in fuel consumption. Furthermore, the car policy now includes vehicles selected according to their TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), which notably factors in their consumption and CO 2 emissions Discussions are currently taking place to include cleaner vehicles in our fleet (hybrid, electric). Local initiatives have been undertaken, including the introduction of a bike-based delivery service in Amsterdam (delivery tricycles). Occasional fuel-efficient driving courses have been organised to raise awareness amongst employees. Video conferences are now systematically given priority in order to limit travel, by installing dedicated facilities and video solutions for managers. The annual cumulative power usage of the Group's data centres has steadily fallen by 50% since 2012.
