BIODIVeRSITY PROTECTING AND RAISING AWARENESS At VIVESCIA, we are committed to assessing our impact and dependencies in order to define where our action can be the most useful and effective, to ensure the sustainability of our activities. We are making tangible progress through a continuous improvement approach, delivering ambitious projects that create positive momentum across our territories. And because biodiversity plays a central role in the resilience of agricultural systems, we are working collectively to identify the most effective levers for sustainably embedding biodiversity into agricultural practices and strengthening dialogue with economic partners and public stakeholders. Biodiversity diagnostic at farm level The innovation dynamic continues. In 2022, VIVESCIA launched a simplified carbon footprint assessment. Building on the same principle, in autumn 2024 the Group launched the Biodiversity Diagnostic. It is based on AgriBEST®, a simple, free tool deve- loped jointly in 2019 by CDC Biodiversité and La Coopération Agricole, and enhanced in terms of indicators, user experience, and data protection for Cooperative members thanks to contributions from VIVESCIA teams: 15 factors are assessed on a scale of 1 to 5, complemented by the data collec- tion on 13 additional themes specific to VIVESCIA. Accessible to all VIVESCIA Cooperative members via the ARTERRE intranet, this self-assessment tool is dedicated to evaluating the impacts of agricultural practices on biodiversity at farm level. IIt enables an initial assessment and the monito- ring of progress on practices at farm level. The analysis of all diagnostics enabled us to produce a first biodiversity baseline for all VIVESCIA farms across all our territories — an essential step in accelerating our responses and proposals to public stakeholders and processing customers. The next step will be the development of relevant biodiversity indicators that take into account agri- cultural practices, agroecological infrastructure, and local contexts, as part of the TRANSITIONS program. The Symbiose¹ Program across the VIVESCIA cooperative territory The partnership between biodiversity association Symbiose, the Cooperative, and our processing businesses (Malteurop, Délifrance, and Grands Moulins de Paris) continued. VIVESCIA Industries companies are financing three robust ecosystem preservation projects across the Cooperative’s territories. These three long-term “blue and green corridor” projects are designed, with action plans, provisio- nal five-year budgets, and monitoring indicators. They continued throughout financial year 2024– 2025. This initiative also helps to strengthen ties within the Group and reinforce its local agricultu- ral roots. 1.
