04 MANAGEMENT BOARD REPORT

For reasons of organisation and access to information, not all Group companies have yet been included. The Group wants to use perimeters that are more relevant depending on the topics covered. As such, certain companies are excluded from the social scope due to the existence of very low workforces in certain organisations (distribution subsidiaries spread out over vast geographic areas such as South America), or the lack of Human Resources information systems designed for collecting data easily. The distribution subsidiaries are excluded from the environmental scope due to their low environmental impact in comparison with the industrial sites. Over the short-term, the Group plans to integrate all significant companies that it fully owns. Only one company, Dooya, 70% owned and comprising an industrial site, is not integrated. At 31 December 2017, Dooya’s workforce was 1,523 people (excluding temporary workers), training costs were €0.2 million and energy costs were €0.7 million. Newly acquired companies are integrated into the reporting scope following a probationary period necessary for the introduction of reporting.
