We want to make sure safety at work is our collective concern and to accelerate our progress towards zero accidents by 2020 thanks to our collective commitment. Such is the will behind our new watchword Safety is OUR business! Our Charter for Health and Safety at Work, signed by our management and displayed at all our sites, provides a public declaration of our ambition. The charter was published for the 4th edition of our World Safety Week which focuses on our employees on best practices and provides a showplace for their initiatives and progress. 27 Group companies took part in the 2nd Safety Challenge organized in that framework. The 1st prize was won by our Polish subsidiary Turek for its mobilization on the theme of We are all the heroes of safety . Amongst our champions of 2016, the Vihiers site in France has achieved 989 consecutive days without any accident and four of our five Spanish sites have celebrated a full year without any accident.

EVERYONE MOBILIZED FOR OUR SAFETY AT WORK

SAYING NO TO WASTE The Group has launched, with significant employee participation, an industrial performance improvement program focusing on fighting waste and improving the work environment. The aim is, at each stage of the manufacturing process, to eliminate all forms of loss, excess consumption, accidental line stoppage, painful postures etc. by devolving responsibility to our operatives who are encouraged to propose

solutions for improvement. Comforted by the results of the pilot testing performed in 2015, the approach is being deployed at all our sites. A training school has been created and numerous teams have been trained in the program and in the tools available for continuous improvement: 5S, problem-solving, Six Sigma, SMED, performance routines.

Our fleets are equipped with traction units meeting Europe s EEV(1) standard and our drivers are trained in eco-driving. Upstream, we use high capacity milk collection tanks and optimize our collection rounds. Our Fro subsidiary has thus, over three years, reduced its distance covered by 30% thereby avoiding the emission of 600 tons of CO

2 per

annum. Downstream, by grouping deliveries we improve truck filling and delivery frequency: more service, less emissions. Electronic monitoring of consumptions and maintenance plans contributes to both environmental and economic performance.

SAFETY IS OUR BUSINESS!
