INTERVIEW

How do you integrate the social objectives of the Group in yourteams’ day-to-day activities?

We pay a particular attention to the diversity within our subsidiaries.Thus, more than half of our managament team is represented bywomen and the place of others cultures / nationalities is also veryimportant. We are also constantly performing EHS audits on all oursites. Monitoring the level of work-related accidents with the help ofthe EHS department in order to improve the safety culture andawareness levels among our employees, weekly meetings are takingplace between our EHS department and the company managementteam.

In your opinion, which of our social commitment actions contributethe most to the performance of the subsidiaries under yourmanagement?

In my opinion, all of our social actions contribute directly or indirectlyto the performance of our subsidiaries, especially the training and thedetection of new potentials that create a collective dynamic andreinforce our corporate culture. Finally, we involve all our teams inachieving regional goals to achieve the best possible performance.This also will encourage the teamwork.

The frequency rate of our work-relatedaccidents is well below the average ratefound in our field of activity.The severity rate was, in its turn, halvedcompared to last year.

Number of work-related accidents:

We have, therefore, achieved a greatsuccess in the pursuit of our goal ofsafety in relation to our employees,thanks to our awareness-raising actions,training and audit, which have alreadybeen implemented for several years andconstantly improved.We spent an amount of EHS traininghours similar to the one from last year.Our internal EHS trainer helped maintainthis quantitative and qualitative level ofsafety-related training.

Objective 1: continuously strengthening accident prevention and protection of employees

A new module on road safety risks, theleading cause of work-related accidents in ourGroup, has been introduced since 2018 in ourinternal training program.Finally, we improved our EHS control byperforming audits on the sites of oursubcontractors. Since 2018, we offer themour internal trainings on safety.This training offer is also available for ourcustomers.

INTERVIEWWITH ARISTIDE SANON, COUNTRY MANAGING DIRECTOR, CAMUSAT IVORY COAST

What is the role of environmental stakes in your activity?

Respect for the environment is a major concern of the CamusatGroup, as a responsible company. As such, through our activitiesof site maintenance, construction and deployment of optical fiber,we ensure strict compliance with current regulations in IvoryCoast. In particular, we are promoting the deployment of lowenvironmental footprint energy solutions as part of our new ESCOactivity. This allows our customers to achieve substantialeconomic gains but also to meet their obligations in terms ofrespect for the environment.

To what extent do the environmental actions carried out by oursubsidiaries have an impact on people’s daily lives?

It is our responsibility to limit the impact of our activities on theenvironment. Thus, we are ensuring that rural communities areinvolved in various green activities, such as reforestation of sitesand recycling of packaging that we use for our infrastructureprojects. These actions also make people aware of environmentalchallenges that are often underestimated in emerging countries.

Objective 1: building simpler, smarter and more suitable solutions for better efficiency

The two green solutions available in theCamusat portfolio of products andservices, (e.pC, e.pL, e.pdC) andthe pure solar energy, evolve each year inorder to always meet the demand of ourcustomers. The reduction in fuelconsumption and, more generally, therespect of the environment, are at theheart of our concerns and of those of ourcustomers and we strive to innovateconstantly in this direction.

In 2018, we have developed a new typeof installation for pure solar with the“Concrete Less” system that allows us toinstall our solutions without the use ofconcrete foundations, characterised by avery high CO2 consumption for theirtransportation and manufacture.

The development of our Aktivco BusinessModel has significantly contributed toreducing the carbon footprint by enabling

Objective 2: protecting the environment

The year 2018 was an opportunity for theGroup to reaffirm its commitment topreserving the environment throughvarious actions.A Tree Day was organized at Group leveland our subsidiaries took part in theexercise. In each of these subsidiaries, adozen employees volunteered to planttrees to fight against deforestation.Communications on responsibleconsumption have been passed out tomake our employees aware thateveryone at their own level can have apositive impact on the environment.Thus, our employees were encouraged topay attention to their consumption ofelectricity, paper, fuel or water and tofollow instructions enabling theirreduction. Finally, actions alreadyinitiated in 2017 have been renewed in

2018, including cleaning operations, incollaboration with associations or evenorganizing at Group level a challenge withthe environmental theme. This year, thesubsidiaries took up the challenge tobuild a Christmas tree with waste only, aspart of the “Eco-Holidays” challenge.

Objective 3: reducing our environmental footprint

Since 2017, our customers entrust uswith the monitoring of all their telecomsites. The measurement of the consumedenergy and the alarm systems for thedetection of anomalies are thus managedby a dedicated module in our e.sightsoftware, called EMS & EMassS. Thismodule enables Camusat to improve thetechnical design of its sites by optimisingcapital expenditure and by makingcorrections, if needed, according toobserved consumption trends.This intelligent monitoring increases thereliability of plants and contributes toconsiderably reducing our carbonfootprint by optimising fuel consumption.In 2018, 11 Group subsidiaries connectedthe equipment from their sites to thisnew IT module, which represented a fuelsaving of 19,026,720 liters and,therefore, 50,230 tons of CO2 avoided.

INTERVIEWWITH JEAN-CHRISTOPHE BORIE, COUNTRY MANAGING DIRECTOR, CAMUSAT MYANMAR

To what extent do community responsibility initiatives in placecontribute to the performance of the subsidiary you manage ?

Our initiatives implemented in Myanmar have a real and lasting impactwith direct focus on individual and collective performance. Here are someexamples:Participating in recruitment fairs to promote Camusat in Myanmar andpromote our job offers. This gives us the opportunity to hire interns andqualified staff from local communities, to attract the technical skillsneeded for our business and to enhance loyalty;Organizing various events such as participation in charity, appointment ofthe employee of the month, participation in sporting challenges,contribute to strengthening the sense of belonging to Camusat, the teamspirit and cohesion.This community responsibility approach is part of the long-term pursuit,and the commitment of each member of the team, both at the level ofour site workers and at the level of the management team.It is one of the key elements of the Values that we develop, together,within Camusat Myanmar.

How do you implement the Group’s Ethics approach within yoursubsidiary?

Corporate ethics can be viewed restrictively, as business ethics andcompliance with regulatory requirements. Within Camusat, this vision isenriched by a voluntary and proactive approach that results in observingethical rules, an ethics charter, etc.It also requires determination and sometimes making decisions,consistent with Camusat values, when we are confronted with deviantbehaviours.

Objective 1: creating job opportunities for local communities

In its goal of being a responsiblecompany, Camusat constantly strives tohave a positive impact on the society.Focusing on the development of localjobs and the evolution of our managersin the countries where we are located is aguarantee of sustainability.

To promote our job offers and morebroadly our professions, Camusatsubsidiaries develop their employerbrand by intensifying their relations withlocal institutions (NGO, City Hall, LabourInspection, etc.) and their presence inrecruitment fairs and specialised in thetelecom field. This approach andcommunication-based strategy is alsofavourable to our Sustainable PurchasingPolicy, since it reinforces the proximitywith the local companies.

Thus, the use of locally establishedsuppliers continued to increase between2017 and 2018. This contributes to thedevelopment of local business activities.At Group level, Camusat has strengthenedits digital communication by increasing itspresence on social networks, includingLinkedIn, with the creation of its careerpage.

Objective 2: enhancing responsible and regulation-compliant activities

The development of an ethical culture isa major challenge for our Group and ismainly conveyed by our employees.Therefore, one-third of the Group’semployees were made aware of ourEthics Code in 2018.The new Anticorruption Policy has beensystematically communicated to newlyhired employees since its creation inSeptember 2018.

To improve this approach, the creation ofan Internal Audit & Compliancedepartment made it possible to carry outaudits throughout the entire year. In2018, these audits allowed, among otherthings, to verify the good communicationof the new Anticorruption Policy to theemployees. To improve the steps takeninternally, we choose our partners bytaking into account their respect forethics. Objective for the upcoming years:

The compliance with the Camusat EthicsCode will be reinforced by a trainingcampaign at Group level, dedicated to theAnticorruption Policy implemented in2018. This training will be provided to allemployees during 2019 and every twoyears thereafter, so that this majorcommitment is always at the heart of ourconcerns.

In 2018, we evaluated one-third of our localsuppliers with respect to their CSR policy. Thisassessment was performed based on thesame CSR commitments undertaken by theCamusat Group.In addition, half of the Camusat suppliers havesigned a responsible supplier charter to date.

The contribution to local developmentand community life, which is an integralpart of sustainable development, goeswell beyond identifying and engagingwith stakeholders.

Therefore, our HR departments aim toknow precisely the impacts of the activityof subsidiaries in their territory(economic, social and/or environmental).Thus, they can subsequently contributeactively and usefully to the developmentof the territories.

As part of the “I volunteer withCamusat” campaign, the Groupannually supports an association inwhich an employee is a volunteer. Inorder for supported projects to bealigned with our CSR policy, they mustcontribute to the improvement ofhealth, education or environment.In 2018, it is the DEEP Association(Diversified Educators EmpowermentProject) which received support fromCamusat.
