SOLOCAL GROUP, A COMPANY RESPONDING TO 3.1 THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

ORIGIN, GOVERNANCE AND KEY INDICATORS 3.1.1 OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

SoLocal Group's ambition is to become the local digital partner trusted by companies to accelerate their growth. Currently over 80% of Group revenues are from local digital communication activities. With the continuous erosion of its revenues and market share, the company is facing new challenges in a highly competitive market. As a response, the new leadership team, in place since late 2017-early 2018 has initiated important changes to its strategy and organisation. Plans to simplify and streamline the organisation would involve around 1,000 job cuts over the 2018-2019 period, of which around 800 jobs in 2018 and 200 jobs in 2019 with the introduction of an Employment Protection Plan. The process of consulting representative staff bodies began on 13 February 2018. This plan, which is separate from those implemented in 2013 (Employment Protection Plan related to organisational changes at the Sales Division and changes to the contracts of sales representatives) and 2015 (Employment Protection Plan as a response to changing roles) to support the Group's transformation. SoLocal Group, the European leader in local digital communication, provides digital content, advertizing solutions and transactional services that bring consumers and businesses together. Our organisational structure is presented in the “Organisational Chart” chapter of the 2017 Reference Document and our strategy is detailed in the “Overview of businesses” chapter of the same document.

Determining the CSR strategy In 2011, under the leadership of the Board of Directors, the Strategy, Partnerships and External Relations department handled developing the Group’s CSR strategy, which it has since successfully overseen, led and implemented. The Group’s CSR strategy is structured around three cornerstones: to build a digital Group with a motivating and enriching work l environment; to conduct business in an eco-responsible manner; l to promote responsible local economic development. l It has been published in the Reference Document since 2013. CSR governance The CSR team, consisting of a Director and two project managers (who work in parallel with other jobs in the Company), reports directly to the General Secretary and Assistant CEO in charge of Strategy, Partnerships and External Relations, a member of the Group’s Executive Committee. CSR correspondents are present in the management of the holding company, PagesJaunes and the Group’s other subsidiaries, which enables internal dynamics and the mobilisation of all entities around the Group’s societal responsibility. To achieve our specific employer responsibility goals, our Human Resources department has trained a team dedicated to improving the quality of life in the workplace, fostering diversity and facilitating the employment of people with disabilities. The CSR team coordinates the correspondents’ efforts and works with them to develop projects that will achieve our CSR strategy.
