CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The Group contributes to the Sport dans la Ville not-for-profit association promoting social and professional integration of youth originating from under-resourced urban districts. Olivier Ginon, GL events Chairman, sponsored the class of 2014. In the Rhône-Alpes region, twelve GL events employees participate in a mentoring initiative to assist youths aged between 15 and 23 in defining their professional project and creating a network. Today, three of them are now pursuing their work-study programmes within Group departments.

This experience will be expanded to the Gonesse site in the second half of 2015, and more generally to the Île-de-France region.

Guaranteeing employee safety Worker health and safety constitute a critical compo- nent of social responsibility. Safety is a key priority for the different service-related business lines. GL events teams activities include assembling and dismantling a range of structures from the simple stand partition to a grandstand for a stadium. Such tasks require the application of strict rules guaranteeing safety for eve- ryone at the worksite. This imperative is reflected by the existence of a formal operational policy based on a continuous improvement approach. To achieve this objective, Campus by GL events runs programmes providing training on the latest personal safety and risk prevention procedures. In 2014, reflecting this priority, 26% of total train- ing hours provided in 2014 was devoted to safety or 6,200 hours. A site-specific health and safety plan (PPSS) is implemented for each event organised. In addition a specific signage system has been deployed at all Group sites.

Workplace quality-of-life Creating a pleasant working environment for the Group s men and women is also a priority of the Think People programme. Preventing psychosocial risks calls for the engage- ment by everyone to foster productivity for all by building a collaborative environment. This approach offers multiple benefits with two key lines of action: evolving managerial practices, fostering the creation of ties.

Advancing managerial practices Workplace quality of life is determined by two areas for improvement, namely better organising and bet- ter managing. A comprehensive approach including training and communications measures has been developed in consequence for managers.

Building ties GL events has a track record of strong geographic and structural growth. For that reason, it is impor- tant to create ties and provide all staff opportunities to acquire a full understanding of the Group s dimen- sion and reach. The objective: reinforcing synergies between busi- ness units, facilitating relations between services and activities, developing a spirit of cooperation and cross-corporate interactions: Speed meetings in Nantes following a move or at the Welcome Convention, Cafés philos at the headquarters in the La Con- fluence district of Lyon Best Practice meetings.
