A GROUP WITH REAL COMMITMENT Extra-Financial Performance Report 2020 Groupe Roullier Extra-Financial Performance Report 2020 Groupe Roullier A GROUP WITH REAL COMMITMENT Managing the COVID-19 crisis collaboratively and effectively at local level Our Risk Prevention department was busier than ever in 2020 designing and introducing a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) that would deliver effective solutions to the issues raised by this unprecedented health crisis. With reinforcements from HR, the network of accident prevention officers had responsibility for coordinating this BCP to ensure full compliance with the local regulatory constraints imposed in each country. In Brittany (France), a special procedure was put in place for CAN (Compagnie Armoricaine de Navigation) vessel crew members, giving the choice of returning to sea if they wished, despite the restrictive nature of all the measures imposed onboard the Côtes de Bretagne and in their daily lives. Their commitment and professionalism were rewarded with a special one-off Covid-19 bonus to reflect the amount of time spent onboard during this period. The resilience and commitment shown by all our people to comply with these measures have been key to our effective management of this crisis. The accelerated digitalisation of our business processes that began a few years ago was another major factor in our success in ensuring business continuity despite social distancing. A virtuous and dynamic approach to workplace quality of life and gender equality/diversity We are absolutely convinced that collective performance is inextricably linked to the workplace quality of life enjoyed by all our employees. The quest to achieve optimum workplace quality of life involves implementing measures designed to improve work/ life balance (collective agreements on how working hours are organised), wellbeing and sociability (we have introduced a communal space at Saint-Malo in France, complete with sports and catering facilities), addressing psychosocial risks and providing training for managers. This final measure became a reality in 2020 with the launch of a team support skills and abilities development programme for two pilot groups of managers. The measures implemented to encourage a better work/life balance at Group and subsidiary company levels further underline our commitment to equality in the workplace. This is the background against which we wanted to enter into negotiation with the social partners of the Group’s French companies with the ultimate aim of reaching agreement on ownership of this key issue and preparing a roadmap to the future. These negotiations began at the end of 2019, but were suspended in March 2020 as the crisis developed, and are scheduled to resume in 2021 in order that we can achieve practical outcomes for people as quickly as possible. This kind of proactive commitment has helped us to achieve a French Professional Equality Index score of 83/100* for remuneration, promotion and female representation in top management. The readiness of all our employees to comply with these measures has been key to our success in managing the crisis. It’s thanks to their daily actions that we’ve been able to succeed together.“ Dario Giannerini, Head of Risk Management 9,687 Number of internal safety inspections 16,8% of voluntary departures (resignations) 95% of the workforce is employed under permanent contracts 1/4 of all managers are women 27% of the Group workforce are women 45 44 T he resilience integral to our DNA has been the core strength that has enabled us to overcome the crisis and strengthen the bonds that unite us. With the help of all our employees, we have been able to respond as quickly and efficiently as possible, at the same time as taking on board their expectations of being able to continue working safely and in good working conditions, whether in production plants, laboratories, at home or in the office. But despite the restrictions, this unprecedented situation has not slowed the virtuous dynamic that was already underway, allowing projects related to sociability, employee wellbeing, manager training, working atmosphere or workplace equality to move forward in 2020. MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, 2020 HAS SHOWN US THE EXTENT TO WHICH SOCIETAL CHANGES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SIGNIFICANTLY DISRUPT THE WORKING CONDITIONS OF OUR PEOPLE. Zero accidents is our one and only target “Health & Safety is everyone’s responsibility”. This principle is embraced throughout our organisation and up to the highest level of management. It guides our Group-wide preventive policy making, and allows us to supervise and support everyone on the frontline of implementing health and safety measures. To ensure the effectiveness of our safety framework and the initiatives implemented by our business lines, we brought together an accident prevention team some years ago, which works within the Risk Management Department to coordinate, advise and lead a network of around fifty accident prevention representatives (facilitators and coordinators) working in all our subsidiary companies. This concerted effort also facilitates a continuous process of strengthening our accident prevention facilities and systems in response to clearly identified needs as part of constantly improving the working conditions for all our people. So in 2020, more than 14,6% of industrial investment was focused on health and safety issues to fund a number of projects to improve working environments inside our production plants. For example, during the year, the Phosphea plant at Billy in France invested in the installation of a centralised industrial vacuum dust extraction system, which not only reduces dust exposure for employees, but also removes the need for potentially painful working positions and manual handling. In the Lodosa plant of TIMAC AGRO España, significant investment was made during the year on dust proofing conveyors and installing a dust extraction system that successfully captures process dust at source. And given that more than two-thirds of our sales teams worldwide travel every day as part of their jobs, road safety remains a major issue, which we address through safe driving courses and regular hazard awareness campaigns.
