THE FOUNDATION OF OUR CSR STRATEGY LAUNCHED, LINK, IN JUNE 2021 It reveals the convergence of internal and external stakeholders on the importance of challenges related to our environmental responsibility as a Group and on our Cooperative model.

We then prioritized the issues based on a predefined list provided by each stakeholder group consulted and conducted a detailed analysis of the results by stakeholder typology and major CSR responsibilities. The aggregated results were subsequently represented in this matrix.
