with the supporting documents. This work was carried out on a selection of contributing entities listed hereinafter:
- for environmental information: SUEZ Eau France (France), SUEZ Spain (Spain), SUEZ Recycling and Recovery Pty Ltd (Australia), Sita Waste Services (Hong Kong), SUEZ Vyuziti zdroju a.s (Czech Republic),
- for social information: SUEZ Eau France (France), SUEZ Spain (Spain), Aguas Andinas (Chile), Sita Waste Services (Hong Kong), SUEZ Vyuziti zdroju a.s (Czech Republic), Sita El Beida, Sita Boughaz (Morocco).
The selected entities cover between 21% and 43% of the consolidated data relating to these tests (25% of employees, 35% of energy consumption, 21% of GHG emissions, 43% of supplied water and 46% of the eliminated waste); We consulted documentary sources and conducted
interviews to corroborate the qualitative information (measures and outcomes) that we considered the most important presented in Appendix 1;
We assessed the overall consistency of the Statement based on our knowledge of the entities included in the scope of consolidation;
We believe that the work carried out, based on our professional judgement, is sufficient to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusion; a higher level of assurance would have required us to carry more extensive procedures.
MEANS AND RESOURCES
Our verification work mobilized the skills of eight people and took place between October 2018 and March 2019 on a total duration of intervention of about 22 weeks.
We conducted a dozen interviews with the persons responsible for the preparation of the Statement including, in particular, the Sustainable Development, Ethics and Compliance, Health and Safety, Social Relations, Performance and Industrial Risks, Learning and Diversity, Purchasing and Legal Departments.
CONCLUSION
Based on our work, we have not identified any significant misstatement that causes us not to believe that the non-financial statement complies with the applicable regulatory provisions and that the Information, taken together, is fairly presented, in compliance with the Criteria.
2. LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE SELECTED INFORMATION
NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE WORK

The selection of contributing entities covers between 12% and 33% of the social information presented and between 6% and 23% of the environmental information presented. We believe that the work carried out is sufficient to provide a basis for our limited assurance on the Selected Information.
CONCLUSION
Based on our work, we have not identified any significant misstatement that causes us to believe that the Selected Information, taken together, has not been fairly prepared in compliance with the Criteria.
