First and foremost it is for internal use. Its aim is to publicise research work and projects conducted by teams in the Group’s different sectors and countries. The content of the exhibition rooms is periodically renewed to highlight particularly successful projects. One room focuses on activites linked to innovation in a more day-to-day manner, and visitors’ books are available to make comments and interact. This gallery is in addition to the Company’s social network. INVESTING IN SOCIETY Assystem draws on the latest standards of its profession and the broader business world in order to shape its vision of CSR practices. In line with this, in 2014 the Group continued to roll out a wide variety of initiatives both in France and abroad with a view to responding to some of the major challenges faced by today’s society. Playing a role with decision-makers Through its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dominique Louis, Assystem participates in the Entreprise et Progrès think-tank. The aim of this group, which since 1970 has been bringing together leaders of the main French companies, is to maintain a constructive dialogue with political decision-makers and economic players, aiming to put “People at the heart of enterprise, and enterprise at the heart of society” . Sports sponsorship Since 2012, Assystem has been a proud supporter of the Racing Métro 92 rugby schools and the social initiatives they undertake in favour of youngsters. These schools promote the personal development and integration of young people through rugby and aim to train around one thousand pupils under the age of 21 in facilities that are dedicated to teaching this sport. This sponsorship deal was renewed for a two- year period in 2015. 4.8.3 Corporate sponsorship ●

In 2015, Assystem made a commitment to work with the École des Mines de Nantes engineering school to jointly support the MERITE project for two years (MERITE is a French acronym standing for “Using experience of industrial and technical realities to help schools”). The aim of this project bringing together scientists and educational experts from nine higher education institutions in the west of France, in collaboration with the Nantes and Rennes education authorities (school inspectors and teachers), is to “once more give numerous children a hunger for learning, self-confidence, the joy of creating and innovating, and to restore technological culture to its rightful position”. Charity and community work Solidarity is a shared value disseminated worldwide. Assystem supports and assists its employees in their community work. These initiatives are usually decided and managed at a local level so that they address the concerns of the communities to which the employees concerned belong. This is the case in Canada, where initiatives are taken to support Cancer NGO and ENA aerospace school, and in the United Kingdom, where help is given to CLIC Sargent, a cancer charity for children and young people.
