Fnac Darty SA

The Corporate Social Responsibility policy aims to address the four main CSR challenges identified through the materiality analysis conducted in 2022 and supplemented by the double materiality analysis conducted in 2024. [...] The dedicated governance is composed of: - a Corporate, Environmental and Social Responsibility Committee (CESR) of the Board of Directors, which meets three times a year; - a Climate Committee, a Circular Economy Committee and a Sustainability Committee, to support the strategic plan and provide impetus for transformation projects; - an Ethics Committee, to ensure respect for our values, compliance, the duty of care, the Sapin 2 law and the GDPR; - CSR representatives appointed in each department, each country and each store; - CSR objectives integrated into the variable component of the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the members of the Executive Committee, as well as all eligible managers."
"The Climate Committee is the governance committee responsible for monitoring climate objectives. The Executive Committee is represented by the Director of Services and Operations, the General Secretary in charge of Human Resources, CSR and Governance, and the Commercial and Marketing Director. Created in 2019, it meets three times a year to monitor the implementation of the climate strategy and the trajectory of CO2 emissions, draw up action plans and monitor the roadmaps for the various operational sectors. The Climate Committee regularly calls on the expertise of other departments to identify, assess, and respond to climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities: [...] - the Public Affairs and Legal Departments actively monitor climate-related regulatory developments and collaborate with the CSR Department to maintain a dialogue with public authorities on various related issues; [...] Managed by the CSR Department, the decarbonization plan [E1-1-14] has been approved by the CESR Committee, the Group's highest level of CSR governance. The policies [E1-2-24] are then monitored by the Climate Committee, which meets three times a year and is sponsored by three members of the Executive Committee. The actions [E1-3-28] are rolled out by the CSR representatives, one for each support function. In order to engage our customers in stores and put actions into operation, Fnac Darty launched a network of more than 400 CSR representatives in September 2023, one for each Fnac and Darty store in France."
"In France, the Communications and Public Affairs Department coordinates and rolls out all lobbying activities, under the authority of the Chief Executive Officer and in compliance with the Business Code of Conduct and the Group's Charter for the Prevention of Conflicts of Interest. It oversees the monitoring of any activities carried out in the other subsidiaries. The actions taken within this framework are reported annually to the High Authority for Transparency in Public Life (HATVP), in the form of a report shared in advance with the Group's Audit Department. This declaration includes detailed activity sheets, lists the associations and federations of which the Group is a member, and indicates the amounts allocated to lobbying activities. [...] Transparency of our lobbying activities The Group is registered in the European Union Transparency Register under number 935428630280-28. This is essentially a declaration in form only, as the Group concentrates its activities in France and does not make use of lobbying strategies in Brussels at this stage. As such, the declaration of activity is empty, and the amount allocated less than €10,000. On the other hand, and as indicated in Point G-1-5-29-a, the Group declares its national activities to the French High Authority for Transparency in Public Life."
"The Sapin 2 Law and the law establishing a duty of care places a heavier obligation on the Group to put in place an annual declaration on interest representation activities, as well as measures to combat corruption and influence-peddling, and a vigilance plan covering the risks of infringements of human rights, the health and safety of people and the environment, in every country where the Group is present. [...] Finally, the Group participates in discussions that may affect its environment, by presenting its actions and innovations to the public authorities, by participating alongside the authorities in discussions prior to the drafting of legislative and regulatory texts, and by defending its positions and proposals during hearings with the government, parliamentarians, local elected representatives, or independent authorities.

Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]The CSR Director is in charge of ensuring consistency between the various engagement activities, and can rely on several governance body and committees to do so (CSR Committee, Climate Committee, Circular Economy Committee, Sustainability Committee). For instance, she leads the Climate Committee, that meets 4 times a year, and that is the body in which the Executive Board - through the 2 members sponsoring the committee - and the operational managers address potential conflict or inconsistency.
Climate-related governance ensures a proper sharing of information on the Group's climate change strategy, notably through the CSR referent of each department of the Group and of each subsidiary; CSR referents are responsible for the CSR roadmap of their department thus of the climate strategy of their department, therefore they are aligning their activities with the transition plan of the Group.
The CSR Director also meets weekly with the Public Affair manager, and participates, alongside her, to discussion with public authorities related to climate change and actions.
Finally, internal communication is done all year long on climate-related topics and emissions reduction initiatives, to ensure the right level of information on these issues, and therefore a consistency between the climate change strategy of the Group and the various projects and roadmaps of each department.
