4 _233 2023 UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT_MICHELIN 4 NON-FINANCIAL STATEMENT Sustainable Development Report A Master Policy on Human Rights In 2022, a Master Policy on Human Rights was prepared, distributed across the whole Group and posted on the corporate website(1). It expresses Michelin’s principles concerning nine issues: ● discrimination; ● harassment; ● health & safety; ● decent wage and social protection; ● freedom of association and collective bargaining; ● privacy and personal data; ● child labor; ● forced labor; ● impact on local communities. The Master Policy defines the scope of application, supplier compliance guidelines, recommended duty of care procedures and the principles of application in each operating region. For most issues, this umbrella policy refers back to the more detailed policies already in effect across the organization. In 2023, the Master Policy was widely rolled out to Regional Presidents and regional Personnel managers, who appointed Human Rights Correspondents in every geographic unit. Training based on 90-minute webinars was organized across the Group for these correspondents, as well as for Sustainable Development and Impact Correspondents, Ethics Correspondents and Regional General Counsels. The issue was also addressed at a two-hour in-person session during the annual meeting of the Group's purchasing management teams. Lastly, the corporate officers sitting on the boards of companies in which Michelin owns a minority stake were also directly offered these courses so that as directors, they can exercise due diligence in human rights issues. The courses were introduced by a video from the Group's Managing Chairman, emphasizing the importance of the issue. To support this acculturation and prevention measure, a human rights risk self-assessment questionnaire was devised and deployed, while a human rights e-learning module was developed for the first time. The latter is available to any employee worldwide and mandatory for the Group’s senior executives. (1) https://www.michelin.com/en/sustainability/company/people
