Conclusion Based on the procedures performed, as described in “Nature and scope of the work”, and on the elements we have collected, we did not identify any material misstatements that would call into question the fact that the consolidated non-financial statement is not presented in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements and that the Information, taken as a whole, is not presented fairly in accordance with the Guidelines, in all material respects. Preparation of the non-financial performance statement The absence of a generally accepted and commonly used framework or established practices on which to base the assessment and measurement of information allows for the use of different, but acceptable, measurement techniques that may affect comparability between entities and over time. Therefore, the Information should be read and understood with reference to the Guidelines, the significant elements of which are presented in the Statement. Limitations inherent in the preparation of the Information The information may be subject to uncertainty inherent in the state of scientific or economic knowledge and the quality of external data used. Certain information is sensitive to the methodological choices, assumptions and/or estimates made in preparing it and presented in the Statement. The entity’s responsibility It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to: • select or establish appropriate criteria for the preparation of the Information; • prepare a Statement in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements, including a presentation of the business model, a description of the main non-financial risks, a presentation of the policies applied with regard to these risks as well as the results of these policies, including key performance indicators; • and to implement the internal control procedures it deems necessary to ensure that the Information is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Statement has been prepared in accordance with the entity’s procedures, the main elements of which are presented in the Statement (or which are available on request at the entity’s head office). Responsibility of the independent third party On the basis of our work, our responsibility is to provide a report expressing a limited assurance conclusion on: • the compliance of the Statement with the requirements of article R. 225-105 of the French Commercial Code; • the fairness of the information provided in accordance with article R. 225 105 I, 3° and II of the French Commercial Code, i.e., the outcomes, including key performance indicators, and the measures implemented considering the principal risks. As it is our responsibility to form an independent conclusion on the Information as prepared by management, we are not permitted to be involved in the preparation of the Information, as this could compromise our independence. However, it is not our responsibility to comment on : • the entity’s compliance with other applicable legal and regulatory requirements, in particular the French duty of care law and anti-corruption and tax avoidance legislation; • the compliance of products and services with the applicable regulations. Regulatory provisions and applicable professional standards The work described below was performed in accordance with the provisions of articles A. 225-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, as well as with the professional guidance of the French Institute of Statutory Auditors (“CNCC”) applicable to such engagements and with ISAE 3000 (1) .

We conducted several interviews with the people responsible for the preparation of the Statement. Nature and scope of the work We planned and performed our work taking into account the risks of material misstatement of the Information.
