> We are convinced that a company cannot grow in a sustainable fashion without
> feeling responsible for its impact on society and on the planet, and without
> putting respect for people and ethical practices at the centre of its
> activities.
> Jean-Charles Vollery, Chief Executive Officer

This statement by Jean-Charles Vollery summarizes SYSTRA’s **four objectives**
in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):

- Have a positive influence on society;
- Preserve the environment
- Protect the people by applying our 3S principles;
- Be exemplary in ethics.

Our mission is to provide communities with safe and sustainable transportation
solutions. Our challenge is to design and implement the safest, most efficient,
sustainable, and innovative transport solutions. To achieve this, we need to
foster a culture of conscientiousness by making decisions that are in the
interest of stakeholders, customers, and the local community.

SYSTRA has integrated its Corporate Social Responsibility directly in its
General Policy, which defines the mission, vision, and commitments of the Group.

### POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON SOCIETY

For us, mobility and transport are factors for inclusion, promoting freedom and
the creation of opportunities for all. The projects that we carry out contribute
to improving the lives of populations: by bringing individuals together and
facilitating access to work, education, leisure, and more.

We act in favour of local development in the implementation of projects we work
on and always prioritize the populations that we serve. We account for the
social and political impact of all our infrastructure projects as far as
possible.

### PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT

Environmental responsibility is an essential component of sustainable
development. Beyond the best practices we adopt at our sites, what characterises
SYSTRA is linking the technical identity of projects to a sustainable design
approach.

We aim to assess, appraise and mitigate potential ecological constraints in a
timely fashion to ensure both the dualities of environmental legal compliance
and innovative environmental engineering design solutions are incorporated in
the complex and exciting infrastructure projects we work on. 

### PROTECT THE PEOPLE

the health, safety and security of the public, transport industry actors and our
colleagues is a real moral responsibility! To be a reference company and
contribute to a safer world, the involvement of managers is essential. It is via
their daily commitment to HSS, via their ability to set an example by having a
“safety attitude” that all our colleagues will share these common values. Safety
is everyone’s business, and everyone is committed to ensuring it on a daily
basis.

### EXEMPLARY IN ETHICS

Ethics and compliance are part of our DNA, and as a reference engineering
company, we have an important role to play in all our activities to contribute
to a fairer world. Therefore, SYSTRA’s approach to ethics and compliance goes
far beyond notions of risk assessment and control.

We have put together a solid ethics program, backed by a structured
international organisation, addressing the most relevant subjects of the
territories in which we operate. This allows us to maintain absolute rigour in
the fight against corruption, collusion, fraud and coercive practices.
