A CSR programme fully integrated into the Group strategy 1.1. A CSR PROGRAMME FULLY INTEGRATED INTO THE GROUP STRATEGY 1.1.1. Message from the Chairman of the Managing Board G4-1 2016 brought new forward momentum for the PSA Group. The year can be summed up in three words: performance, responsibility , transparency. First, performance. The efforts made in 2014 and 2015 as part of the “Back in the Race” plan have paid off. The Group has rebuilt its economic fundamentals, while its CSR performance remains one of the best in the world: it features in the CDP’s A List, and for the first time in its history has joined the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, where it is the second highest performing car manufacturer. It is also listed in all of the leading global SRI indices. In parallel, our three automotive brands have consolidated their pricing power. The product offensive that began in 2016 will continue, with the Core Model Strategy offering our customers new vehicles showcasing the technological achievements of our Core Technology Strategy. This year has seen a stream of new product announcements, technological choices hailed for their environmental performance, a new brand poised to revolutionise mobility services, equity investments in numerous start-ups, new partnerships, and the 2016: PERFORMANCE, penetration of new markets with new production plants. I firmly believe that lasting performance is only possible if a company can offer sustainable responses to its stakeholders: its customers, RESPONSIBILITY , employees, shareholders and long-term investors, supply partners and host countries. Our new strategic plan Push to Pass, unveiled TRANSPARENCY in the spring of 2016, is a performance plan that effectively distils their expectations over the long term. Our responsibility towards these valued stakeholders is the mainspring of our performance. Second, then: responsibility. Our Group has a long-standing commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility. It has consistently renewed its support for the ILO conventions and the principles of the UN Global Compact, and has long embraced its responsibility towards society and the environment. These are deeply embedded in its culture and values. The PSA Group supports the 17 global Sustainable Development Goals published in September 2015 by the Member States of the United Nations in a bid to put an end to poverty, fight inequality and injustice and tackle climate change. 2 PSA GROUP - CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 2016 CREATING SHARED AND LASTING VALUE 1 1.1.
