the installation of frequency converters on shredding lines to adjust p the energy supply to requirements in real time; the gradual replacement of shredding unit motors by more energy p efficient motors; the acquisition of four new shear balers equipped with frequency p converter technologies. Furthermore, the second phase of regulatory energy audits is taking place in 2019 and 2020 for all of the relevant French subsidiaries. For activities with the highest energy consumption, these audits are carried out by specialist companies in the energy efficiency sector. These companies are committed to meeting the requirements of the European NF EN 16247 (1 to 4) standard and will enable the Group to prepare an energy efficiency action plan for 2022. Consolidation of the areas for improvement at Group level will take place following these audits and will serve as the basis for setting the 2022 reduction target. The action plan will be monitored alongside the monitoring of the new indicator defined in the CSR roadmap, i.e. the energy consumption of the operating sites per ton treated.

Investments under this multi-year investment program will mainly be for improving recovery rates of materials processed, adapting shredders to use the best available techniques (in the area of water treatment, smoke treatment and noise protection) and reducing the consumption of fossil energies (trucks and handling machinery).
