Governance of our public actions and commitments to act on climate change sits at the highest level of our company. Our governance of climate change is evolving in recognition of its growing significance in society and our increasing understanding of its impact on our business. **Figure 1 – Overview of climate governance** ##### 1.1 Board's oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities **Board of Directors** The Board of Directors of Metro Inc. (the "Board") responsibilities include the oversight of the Company's activities with respect to the Company's corporate purpose and corporate responsibility, which includes environmental, social and governance matters (ESG), and the approval of the Company's Corporate Responsibility Plan and related disclosure. **Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee** The primary objective of the Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities by: - Overseeing the Company's activities with respect to the Company's corporate purpose and corporate responsibility including climate change strategy; and - Reviewing the Company's disclosure on corporate responsibility and environmental, social and governance ("ESG") matters, including on climate change; and - Reviewing the Company's corporate responsibility plans and reports, including those pertaining to climate change. **Audit Committee** One of the responsibilities of the Audit Committee is to review all material risks identified by management, including climate change risks, and to examine the effectiveness of the measures put in place to manage these risks. In order to do so, the Audit Committee regularly receives from the Internal Audit Department risk assessments with respect to various business units of the Company. These assessments contain a description of the material risks that could affect any given business unit, and the measures put in place to manage such risks. [...] **Senior Management** Senior management proactively identifies and assesses the primary risks that the Company faces, including climate risks, and develops appropriate measures to manage them effectively. Senior management also approves the corporate responsibility strategy, including climate change strategy, and ensures the priorities are in line with the Company's business strategy and that objectives have been achieved. In addition, senior management prepares and recommends to the Board policies pertaining to climate risks. **Internal Audit Department** Management identifies the main risks to which the Company is exposed and also determines adequate measures to manage these risks in a proactive way. The Internal Audit Department has the mandate of monitoring the identification and evaluation of corporate risks and ensuring mitigation measures are in place to reduce these risks, including climate risks, as well as all insurance activities that are carried out in connection with these risks. Every three (3) years, each major sector of activity is subject to a review or an audit to ensure that control measures have been put in place to address the business risks associated to such sector of activity. The Internal Audit Department is also responsible for reviewing the corporate responsibility data, including GHG emissions, before it is published. **Environment Committee** The Environment Committee has the mandate to oversee the implementation of the Company's Environmental Policy, which includes GHG emissions, and ensure progress on the three (3) environmental priorities that are part of the 2022-2026 CR plan, which includes climate change. Additionally, the Committee is responsible for reporting annually to the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee of the Board of Directors on the compliance with the Policy, any recommended changes to the Policy, and the Company's environmental performance. Pertaining to climate change, the GHG reduction performance and action plan progress is reported and presented to the Environment Committee members on a quarterly basis. **Climate Change Working Committee** The Climate Change Working Committee brings together multiple departments of the company to develop a common vision and robust roadmap to address climate change issues for the company by establishing an action plan to identify, quantify and manage the various climate-related risks and opportunities. This helps us improve our performance on an ongoing basis, and further integrates our commitment to climate action and corporate responsibility to our business activities. The Climate Change Committee reports back to METRO's Environment Committee. If they are assessed as material, climate-related issues are brought to the Board of Directors' attention by the Internal Audit Department or Management. **Greenhouse Gas Emissions Task Forces** METRO has created two (2) new task forces on GHG: one for energy and refrigerants, and the other for transportation. The task forces bring together groups of individuals from relevant departments of the company to prepare and implement action plans for greenhouse gas emission reductions. Guided by the overarching vision and roadmap of the Climate Change Working Committee, the task forces collaborate to integrate and manage new systems and projects in energy, refrigerants, and transportation to optimize our reduction strategy and realize reductions in emissions.
