54 2024 DECLARATION OF NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE _ DESCOURS & CABAUD MEANS OF CONTROL The main means put in place by our Supply Chain and Purchasing teams are: • Regularly adapting our safety stock levels to guard against delivery risks; • Monitoring the logistics performance of suppliers, using shared contractual indicators, to detect risks and implement action plans; • If necessary, identifying alternative sourcing strategies with support from the product management teams and our DS GLOBAL SOURCING organization for our Group private labels. In addition, the supply chain deploys means that act on potentially faulty links in the logistics chain: 1. At the level of each platform • Maintenance and upkeep of facilities; • Business continuity monitoring (for priority facilities, systematically take out contracts with an emergency breakdown clause); • Monitoring social responsibility towards our employees (health and safety policies); • Continuity of energy availability, ensured by the systematic presence of a generator; • Weekly monitoring of inventory volumes related to ICPE (facilities classified for environmental protection). In the event of a breakdown at the platforms, our main or secondary suppliers retain the capacity to ensure direct deliveries to DESCOURS & CABAUD sites or to those of our customers. A Business Continuity Plan (BCP), which was strengthened in 2023, is deployed for each of our platforms. This plan makes it possible to evaluate and anticipate preventive actions so as to limit the impact in the event of breakdowns or other incidents. A test exercise was carried out in 2023 and was repeated on two occasions in 2024. The operating loss risk is covered by an insurance policy. 2. At the level of interaction between the platforms • Takeover by a QUOFI platform in the event of failure of one of them, as the IT tools and processes are common to all the platforms; • Temporary reinforcements on the various sites thanks to the versatility of the teams.
