Results
Concerning the CSR information that we considered to be most
significant
(1)
:
■
at Group level (HR and Sustainability Directions), we consulted source
documents and conducted interviews to corroborate the qualitative
information (organization, policies, actions); we implemented analytical
procedures on the quantitative and verified, on the basis of sampling
techniques, the calculations and consolidation of the information and
we verified its consistency with the other information contained in the
management report;
■
at the level of a representative sample of Business Units selected
(2)
based on their activity, their contribution to consolidated indicators,
their location and a risk analysis, we conducted interviews to verify
the proper application of procedures and conducted substantive
tests, using sampling basis, to verify the calculations performed and
reconciled data with supporting evidence.
The selected sites contribution to Group data equals to 28% of headcount
and between 26% to 63% of the quantitative environmental information
tested.
Regarding the other CSR consolidated Information, we assessed its
fairness and consistency based on our knowledge of the Group
Finally, we assessed the relevance of the explanations relating to, where
necessary, the omission of certain information.
We deem that the sampling methods and sample sizes we have learned
by exercising our professional judgment allow us to formulate a conclusion
providing limited assurance; a higher level of assurance would have
required more extensive work. Because of the use of sampling techniques,
and because of other limits inherent to any information and internal control
systems, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement in the CSR
Information cannot be completely eliminated.
Conclusion
Based on our work, we did not identify any material misstatements that
would lead us to believe that the CSR Information, taken as a whole,
has not been fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance
with the Reporting Criteria.

and 55% of the quantitative environmental information identified by
the symbol
