Corporate Audit

Corporate Audit is strictly independent from corporate and local management. Its primary objective is to enhance and protect organizational value by providing risk-based and objective assurance, advice, and insight.

Our Chief Audit and Risk Executive is Franck Freymond. He reports directly to the Audit Committee of our Supervisory Board and attends quarterly meetings with the Audit Committee and executive management.

The current functional reporting line and practices ensure he has the appropriate level of organizational independence and unrestricted access to executive management and the Supervisory Board.

The internal audit process is based on a formal and structured audit methodology, which ensures a risk-based approach. Corporate Audit activities are coordinated with other risk assurance functions within the Company, allowing effective risk coverage.

Corporate Audit performs its activities in accordance with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, published by the Institute of Internal Auditors.

Sustainability governance

Overall responsibility for sustainability lies with Rajita D’Souza, President, Human Resources and Corporate Social Responsibility, who chairs our Sustainability Council and updates our President and CEO at quarterly Executive Committee meetings.

Our President and CEO regularly updates our Supervisory Board on our sustainability risks and opportunities, including climate-related risks, as well as our sustainability strategy and performance.

Our Sustainability Council validates our sustainability strategy and ensures the means are in place for each organization and site to deploy the corporate programs. The Council comprises 14 Vice Presidents, representing Human Resources and Sustainability, Compliance, Ethics & Privacy, Sales and Marketing, Purchasing, Investor Relations, Front- and Back-end Manufacturing, Product Groups, Risk Management, Internal and External Communications, and Quality.

The Corporate Sustainability department is responsible for developing our sustainability strategy and programs. It is supported by a network of over 100 local Sustainability Champions who manage the programs and monitor our performance across all sites and organizations. l 102-18 l
