The 2017-2021 Sustainable Development Roadmap covers all of the SUEZ activities worldwide. It directly supports the Group s purpose and fulfills two other fuctions: to drive and manage transformation and to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals defined by the UN in 2015. To this end, it is structured around 16 dated and quantified commitments, each of which is

accompanied by a corresponding action plan. In spite of the particular context of the year 2020, the main action plans linked to the commitments enshrined in the Sustainable Development Roadmap 2017-2021 have moved forward and led to improve- ments vis-à-vis the Group s objectives. It should nonetheless be noted that the Covid crisis has had a more pronounced impact

on certain action levers, such as the implementation of the train- ing plan - despite an acceleration of digital training -, or efforts aimed at improving the performance of water networks due to constraints imposed by the sanitary situation. This context has also influenced indicators related to waste recovery following a slowdown of industrial activity in the first half of the year.
