A Group CSRstrategy aimed at incorporating sustainable development in our business lines andecision-making processes

Identifying our priorities In the interest of identifying the most strategic CSR priorities, the group has weighted them by their relevance to each sector using various criteria: stakeholder rights and expectations; ●

stakeholder vulnerability to each priority; ● the various risks incurred by the group, associated with each ● priority. The group began using this weightingsystem in 2015 to build a CSR approach centered around 10 top-priorityCSR projects implemented in 2016 and 2017.
