Responsibility and Sustainability: our ESG approach

Dear Partners and Collaborators,

We're excited to present the progress of our responsibility initiatives for 2024. This year marks a pivotal moment: the successful
conclusion of our previous Soco2024 strategy and the launch of a new transformational phase, driven by reinforced ambitions.

We've developed our new five-year corporate strategy, Soco2030. This ambitious vision, which will guide us until 2030, was built
through a collaborative process involving over 80 employees from across the Group, and the Socoway is now fully integrated
into the operational principles of our 2030 strategy.

2024 also saw a key evolution in our governance. José Coelho was appointed Group CEO, succeeding Frédéric Lescure, who
remains Chairman of the Board. This reorganization also included Solenn Madec joining the Executive Committee as Chief
Sustainable Officer.

"The Soco2030 strategy marks a natural evolution and a
deepening of our previous efforts (stemming from Soco2024),
with an increased ambition to be more global and more
sustainable."

José Coelho, CEO

"We are deeply convinced that 'sharing creates value,' a
fundamental principle that permeates our entire approach
and guides our company to remain competitive, responsible,
sustainable, and soulful."

Frédéric Lescure, Chairman of the Board

The 6 sharing commitments

Social

Economic

Build partnerships with all stakeholders

Share the added value created by the company

Since its creation in 1972, SOCOMORE has always aimed to have a positive footprint on its stakeholders. This fundamental commitment has been formalized and made concrete since 2019 through its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policy, named the Socoway.

The Socoway is structured around six major commitments focused on sharing, aiming to build overall and sustainable performance:

Build partnerships with all stakeholders.
Share the added value created by the company.
Reduce the health and environmental impact of our products.
Reduce the health and environmental impact of our processes and activities.
Take action for quality of life at work.
Promote the involvement of our employees in the projects of their local community.

1. Environmental and Health-Safety Commitment

This axis directly addresses the impact of SOCOMORE's activities. The Group affirms its commitment to reducing its environmental footprint through the establishment of a climate plan, resource management, and the launch of its eco-design approach, including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

Regarding human health and safety, objectives are set, notably the ambition to ensure that over 90% of sales come from CMR-free products (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic). Occupational safety is reinforced by an Occupational Health and Safety Management System inspired by ISO 45001.

2. Social Strategic Orientations

The social aspect is centered on human capital, which is considered strategically essential. The main commitment is to "Take action for quality of life at work and promote the involvement of employees in their communities”.The HR objectives aim to:

Reinforce employee engagement.
Promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Ensure the securing and development of strategic know-how.
Support the involvement of employees in their local community.

3. Economic Focus and Governance

This focus is based on value sharing and the construction of partnerships.

Partnerships and Network: Building partnerships is crucial. The Group forges ties with ecosystems and has strengthened its Purchasing Policy to promote ethical and sustainable practices within its value chain.
Value Sharing: Financial sharing is directly materialized with employees through a Group Profit Sharing plan, the co-ownership of the SOCOPOLIS SAS company by employees, and the commitment to expand employee shareholding.
Governance: To strengthen our core values and principles, a Code of Ethics and Conduct is formalized and distributed. This document guides the actions of every Socomore employee and partner by clearly setting out our expectations for responsible behavior.Our key ESG commitments are put into action through measurable objectives, actions, and results. The full details are reported and shared with our stakeholders in our Annual ESG Report, available below.

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) ratings

For several years, Socomore has been committed to an ambitious CSR/ESG* progress initiative, aiming to place sustainability at the heart of its practices, in consultation with all its stakeholders.

Our approach is regularly assessed by extra-financial rating agencies and the Group's customers on the basis of ESG* criteria. These ratings confirm the relevance of our ESG approach and its alignment with the Soco2030 strategy.

In our latest assessment, dated December 2025, Socomore was awarded the EcoVadis Silver medal, with an overall score of 71/100. This places Socomore in the top 15% of the 150,000 companies assessed by EcoVadis. This is an improvement compared to 2025 (bronze medal) and demonstrates the performance achieved by all our teams in improving our impact.

The Ecovadis rating is based on an assessment of the quality of a company's CSR management system through its policies, actions, and results.
