Data collection methods
The system in place is based on dual information reporting that allows for
rigorous collection of qualitative and quantitative data from the various
countries and banners. For qualitative information, best practices applied in
the countries are submitted
via
e-mail. For quantitative information, the new
BFC application deployed in 2014 handles reporting for key environmental
performance indicators. Key social performance indicators are reported
through the Group’s Human Resources reporting tool. Reporting liaisons
identified in each country are responsible for coordinating environmental
and social reporting for their respective countries.
◗
Data consolidation methods
The CSR department consolidates all CSR indicators at Group level
using the BFC application. The Group also uses this application for
financial consolidation and reporting.
◗
Environmental data control methods
BFC, the computerised reporting application, features automatic
consistency checks to prevent data entry errors. It also provides the
ability to insert explanatory comments, which makes auditing and internal
control easier. Each reporting manager verifies the data entered before it
is consolidated at Group level, with the help of a check-list and control
tips that are explained in the definition sheet for each indicator. The
Group’s CSR department carries out a second level of data control.
Inconsistencies and errors that are found are reviewed together with
the countries and corrected as needed.

Auditor, MAZARS, an independent third body. For the information
considered most significant, substantive tests have been conducted
on the data. Indicators identified with the

with reasonable assurance.
