THE OCEAN REFERENTIAL SUPPORTED BY FONDATION DE LA MER

In 2020, CMA CGM conducted a precise assessment of its impacts on biodiversity through The Ocean Referential, supported by Fondation de la Mer, the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, with the support of Boston Consulting Group. This tool is built with and for companies based on Sustainable Development Goal 14. For each potential impact on the ocean, the Referential pro- poses concrete action and indicators to mea- sure improvements.

SUPPORT RESEARCH AND INITIATIVES FOR SUSTAINABLE USE OF THE OCEAN

CMA CGM will not use the northern sea route: an historic decision on behalf of the Artics s unique and fragile ecosystems

At the G7 summit in Biarritz in August 2019, Rodolphe Saadé announced that none of CMA CGM Group s vessels would use the Arctic sea route that have opened up to traf- fic recently due to the melting of polar ice.

Speed reduction in marine mammal bree- ding areas On the east coast of the USA and Canada, CMA CGM vessels reduce their speed to 10 knots when navigating in the breeding areas of cetaceans and marine mammals, in order to reduce the risk of collision.

The port of Long Beach gave CMA CGM Group an award in 2019 for reducing the speed of its container vessels with nearly 90% compliance.

THE GREAT BARRIER REEF, THE FIRST STEP IN THE REEF RECOVERY REGENERATION PROGRAMME

In December 2020, CMA CGM Group launched a coral reef regeneration pro- gramme ( Reef Recovery ) with an initial project dedicated to the Great Barrier Reef. A fast growing coral nursery will be esta- blished in Australia, off Fitzroy Island, in the state of Queensland. The coral nursery is the result of a partnership between ANL, a ship- ping expert in Oceania and a subsidiary of

CMA CGM Group, and the Australian NGO Reef Restoration Foundation. The nursery will be tended by a team of experts throughout the year to quickly pro- duce mature corals that will be placed back on the Great Barrier Reef. In 2021, CMA CGM Group will engage in similar projects in several parts of the world, including the Caribbean, to help regenerate coral reefs, which are the lungs of the ocean and essential to marine biodiversity.
