Note: The Board of Directors decided to limit the beneficiaries of the performance share plan to executive corporate officers and the Managing Director of the Company with the aim of mobilizing the Group's key players around its successful development.
Sustainability KPIs tied to remuneration
Short-term incentive (STI) - Annual variable compensation
For 15% of the annual variable compensation, ESG criteria (social and environmental governance) are applied, two-thirds of which can be quantified.
Detailed ESG criteria:
| Criteria | Presentation |
|---|---|
| Climate change | • By 2025, reduction in the carbon footprint of the Group's sites by improving energy efficiency and increasing the share of renewable energies<br>• Development of electricity production using solar panels to supply the Group's sites<br>• Increase in the proportion of recycled or recovered waste in the industrial process<br>• Increased commitments from suppliers and partners |

| Compliance | • Deployment of the Group's compliance plan |
Long-term incentive (LTI) - Performance shares
The allocation of performance shares is subject to quantifiable performance conditions. The vesting of shares is subject to performance conditions that are recognized at the end of a vesting period of 3 years from the grant date.
Weighting
- Annual variable compensation (STI): 15% tied to ESG criteria
- Performance shares (LTI): The value of these shares, estimated at the grant date in accordance with IFRS, represents between 35% and 40% of the executive corporate officer's overall compensation, and may not exceed 100% of the fixed compensation
Performance period and target structure

Business Model Resilience: The resilience of OPmobility's business model is based on its proven ability to adapt to market transformations. The double materiality analysis, carried out in accordance with the requirements of the CSRD, confirmed the relevance of OPmobility's business model. No major adjustments were necessary, but the Group strengthened certain targeted actions to better respond to the challenges identified. It is thus continuing its commitment to sustainable innovation while adapting its initiatives to the transformations in the sector.
Strategic Integration: OPmobility's business model incorporates significant impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) by aligning them closely with its strategy and operations. While relying on a solid model focused on innovation in sustainable mobility, the Group continuously monitors changes in the market, regulations and societal expectations. These elements are integrated into an ongoing strategic reflection, thus guaranteeing the resilience and sustainability of its activities.
Time Horizons
The time horizons used by OPmobility are aligned with those of the ESRS 1 standard:
- Short‑term horizon: corresponds to the current year
- Medium‑term horizon: extends up to five years
- Long‑term horizon: beyond five years
Climate Commitments
Regarding OPmobility's climate commitments, the Group's trajectory was SBTi certified in 2021 on the historical scope, excluding the Lighting acquisition, in line with the Paris Agreement:
- Carbon neutrality on scopes 1 and 2 in 2025 (80% reduction and offsetting of residual emissions)
- 30% reduction in scope 3 by 2030 compared to 2019 levels
- Net Zero 2050 with SBTI
Non-Material Topics
The following sustainability matters were not considered material:
ESRS E3 - Water and Marine Resources: OPmobility has undertaken an assessment to identify actual and potential material impacts related to water and marine resources in its direct activities, and its upstream and downstream value chain. The impact of freshwater abstraction and consumption by industrial sites is limited, as a large part of the plants operate in a water use closed circuit. There is no impact related to water discharges into the ocean at the level of the Group's industrial sites. OPmobility's direct and indirect activities are not associated with the exploitation of marine resources.
ESRS E4 - Biodiversity: In 2022, the Group carried out an analysis of its biodiversity footprint covering scopes 1, 2 and 3, using the Corporate Biodiversity Footprint (CBF) method. The mapping of priority sites showed that only three OPmobility sites are located in key biodiversity areas (KBA), in South Africa, Mexico and the Czech Republic. OPmobility has not identified and assessed actual and potential material impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems, as the identified direct impacts of climate change and air pollution are already covered by the ESRS E1 and ESRS E2 standards.
ESRS S3 - Local Communities: OPmobility has not identified and assessed actual and potential material impacts, risks or opportunities related to local communities.

Transition plan for climate change mitigation
Overview and objectives
OPmobility has set itself ambitious targets to help limit global warming. The decarbonization roadmap, established in 2021, consists of three stages:
- 2025: carbon neutrality for scopes 1 and 2 for the scope excluding Lighting (80% reduction and offsetting of residual emissions, in line with a 1.5° trajectory for the sector)
- 2030: 30% reduction in scope 3 emissions compared with 2019
- 2050: carbon neutrality commitment for all sites
The reference value chosen is the year 2019. This year was selected because it represents a period without significant exogenous influences such as the Covid-19 pandemic or the war in Ukraine, thus ensuring a representative base of the activities covered. The emissions for the 2019 reference year were reassessed by 10.3% to take into account the emissions of companies acquired by the Group in 2022.
Carbon neutrality, on a global scale, aims to offset any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activity by sequestering equivalent quantities of CO2, i.e. their long‑term maintenance outside the atmosphere. At the Group level, OPmobility considers that it is first and foremost a question of reducing the CO2 emissions emitted by its activities as much as possible through a strategy of reducing carbon emissions, replacing fossil fuels and then offsetting residual emissions through certified external CO2 avoidance and sequestration projects.
Scope of the plan
The transition plan was presented in October 2024 by the ACT FOR ALL Committee, and the Executive Committee is informed monthly of its progress. These elements are also reported to the Appointments and CSR Committee and the Audit Committee.
The plan covers the entire Group, its subsidiaries and its activities, including direct and indirect impacts, as well as those generated by its business relationships. It was conducted at the global value chain scale, from raw material suppliers to end‑users, integrating the specific characteristics of the regions and markets where OPmobility operates.
Alignment with Paris Agreement and SBTi validation:
The Group's trajectory was SBTi‑certified in 2021 on the historical scope excluding the Lighting acquisition, in line with the Paris Agreement:
- Carbon neutrality on scopes 1 and 2 in 2025 (with an 80% reduction and offsetting of residual emissions, in line with a 1.5°C trajectory for the sector)
- 30% reduction in scope 3 in 2030 compared to 2019 levels
The SBTi also recognizes that the Group is committed to Net Zero 2050, which certifies it as a member of the "Business Ambition for 1.5°C.". As this certification predates the acquisition of AMLS, Varroc Lighting Systems and Actia Power in 2022, a new submission is underway for the entire Group.

Decarbonization levers and key actions
OPmobility's decarbonization roadmap is based on 8 levers: Raise awareness, Measure, Reduce, Replace, Offset, Collaborate, Eco‑design and Innovate.
1) Raising awareness of climate challenges
Raising awareness of climate challenges is an essential lever for decarbonization, accelerating the transition to a low‑carbon economy by influencing individual and collective behavior.
2) Measure
The measurement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a fundamental lever for initiating an effective and structured decarbonization approach. Without an accurate assessment of emissions, it is impossible to identify the main emission items, set relevant targets and monitor progress.
3) Reduce: reduce the carbon footprint of operations
OPmobility is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of its activities by optimizing the energy consumption of its industrial sites. To achieve this, the Group is:
- Digitizing its measurement tools for responsive monitoring of consumption in real time
- Modernizing its infrastructure and gradually replacing its equipment with more efficient and less energy‑consuming solutions
- Conducting regular energy audits on its sites
- Setting up a library of best practices
- Raising employee awareness and implementing intelligent energy monitoring and management systems
4) Replace: promote the supply of renewable energy
In order to limit its use of fossil fuels, OPmobility is accelerating the deployment of alternative solutions by integrating more renewable energy into its operations. This transition involves:
- Installation of photovoltaic panels and wind turbines on the Group's sites
- Mechanisms such as PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements), VPPAs (Virtual Power Purchase Agreements) and renewable energy certificates
5) Offset: neutralizing residual emissions
As some CO2 emissions are difficult to eliminate completely, OPmobility sets up offsetting mechanisms by financing carefully selected and certified CO2 emission avoidance and sequestration projects. These initiatives are chosen in line with the Group's activities, guaranteeing a tangible environmental impact and aligned with its sustainability commitments. These projects include:
- Support for reforestation and ecosystem conservation initiatives
- Financing of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects
6) Collaborate: a collective approach for greater impact
OPmobility adopts a collaborative approach with all its stakeholders to accelerate the ecological transition across its entire value chain:
- With suppliers: The Group supports its partners in their sustainable transformation by favoring those who commit to managing their own carbon footprint
- With customers: OPmobility works in close collaboration from the design phase of the products, integrating sustainability criteria upstream of the projects. Eco‑design is thus an essential lever for reducing the environmental impact of the solutions developed, in particular by making vehicles lighter and improving their aerodynamics
7) Eco‑design: developing low‑carbon solutions from the circular economy
In order to reduce the environmental impact of its products, OPmobility incorporates new low‑carbon materials and materials from the circular economy into its production processes. This approach is based on several areas:
- Research and development of recycled and biosourced materials
- Development of new lightweight composites to reduce vehicle energy consumption
- Optimization of supply chains to limit the carbon footprint related to transportation
8) Innovate: accelerate the transformation towards sustainable mobility
Innovation is at the heart of OPmobility's strategy. The Group invests in research and development to design technologies and offer solutions to reduce the environmental impact of its products and services. As a specialist in exterior systems and energy storage, OPmobility offers its portfolio of technologies to all mobility players, from carmakers to new transportation operators.
CapEx and investment commitments
Under the transition plan, the Group allocated in 2024:
- Approximately €232 million in financial resources for its H2-Power activity
- Approximately €52 million in financial resources for its e‑Power activity
- €10 million for improving the efficiency of industrial equipment and renewable energy production
- €3 million in CapEx for circular economy projects
Summary of resource allocation for 2022-2025:
| Decarbonization roadmap for operational activities | Total planned resources for 2022‑2025 | Resources committed at the end of 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Energy efficiency and renewable energies (CapEx) | Around €40 million | €17 million |
| Green certificates and carbon offsetting | €2 to €5 million | 0 |
| 30% reduction in upstream and downstream emissions by 2030 | Total planned resources for 2022‑2025 | Resources committed at the end of 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrogen mobility activity (downstream scope 3) | Around €900 million | €720 million |
| Battery activity - e‑Power (downstream scope 3) | Around €300 million | €190 million |
| Circular economy projects | €10 million | €3 million |
In addition, in 2024, the Group allocated €70 million in CapEx for exterior systems and modules for 100% electric vehicles and included in activities 3.18 and 8.2 of the capital expenditure reported under the European Taxonomy.
CapEx invested in coal, oil and gas: The Group did not make any significant CapEx in fossil fuels during the reporting period.
Locked-in emissions and stranded assets
"Stranded assets" refer to OPmobility's key assets already in use or firmly planned (i.e. those that the Group intends to deploy most likely over the next five years) that generate significant GHG emissions throughout their operational lifetime.
At OPmobility, the C‑Power business group designs, manufactures and sells fuel tanks initially intended for internal combustion vehicles. As the C‑Power business group's contribution to scope 3 "Use of the group's products sold" is less than 10% of that of the Group overall, maintaining this activity and its plants would not risk compromising the Group's achievement of its objectives.
In addition, as the mobility market is moving towards low‑carbon solutions, the business group may have to equip hybrid vehicles or vehicles powered by e‑fuels and thus reduce its scope 3 emissions.
The "Powertrain" operational segment of which the C‑Power business group is now the main component, recorded a slight drop in revenue, down 1.6% compared to 2023 (€2,660 million compared to €2,703 million in 2023), and down 0.6% at constant exchange rates. The C‑Power business group also incurred approximately €9 million in restructuring expenses in Europe, the Americas and Asia.
For the year 2025, the Group plans to continue developing its new energy activities (electricity and hydrogen), and, as part of the "Last Man Standing" strategy of its tank production activity, will continue to manage its investments in line with market changes in each of the regions in which the Group operates, in order to strengthen its market share. The Group does not anticipate any significant adjustment to its assets and liabilities in 2025, given the provisions for restructuring and/or asset impairment recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2024.
Use of carbon credits and removals
OPmobility considers that it is first and foremost a question of reducing the CO2 emissions emitted by its activities as much as possible through a strategy of reducing carbon emissions, replacing fossil fuels and then offsetting residual emissions through certified external CO2 avoidance and sequestration projects.
Progress in 2024:
- Signature of the contract with the partner and selection of CO2 avoidance and sequestration projects. This commitment will enable the Group to offset its residual emissions in 2025
- OPmobility reduced its scopes 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 83kt between 2019 and 2024 (including acquisitions), thus continuing its transition to more sustainable mobility

E2-4Pollution of air, water and soilReported
Pollution of air, water and soil
Air Emissions
Op Mobility discloses the following pollutant emissions for 2024:
| Pollutants | Weight (in metric tons) |
|---|---|
| Carbon monoxide (CO) | 146.0 |
| Ammonia (NH3) | 2.9 |
| Nitrogen oxides (NOx/NO2) | 45.3 |
| Sulfur oxides (SOx/SO2) | 3.2 |
Microplastics
| Microplastics | Weight (in metric tons) |
|---|---|
| Microplastics generated | 10.7 |
| Microplastics used | 309.9 |
Methodology
Emissions of carbon monoxide, ammonia, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are calculated using two methodologies:
- Once a year, each site reports its VOC emissions using a "solvent assessment" carried out beforehand
- A module is used to calculate air pollutants by assessing the number of metric tons of VOCs discharged. The calculation takes into account the concentration at the inlet and outlet, as well as the throughput of the incinerator, divided by the number of hours of operation per day
Water and Soil Discharges
No specific quantitative data disclosed for emissions/discharges to water or soil in the excerpts provided.
Controls and Objectives
The company has set an objective to control all plastic granule discharges to avoid any water and soil contamination, with 100% target by 2028 and 100% progress reported for 2024.
E2-5Substances of concern and substances of very high concernReported
Substances of concern and substances of very high concern
Policy and Management Approach
OPmobility implements rigorous controls on substances of concern (SoC) and substances of very high concern (SVHC) throughout its value chain. The Group's environmental policy commits to:
- REACH Compliance: Prohibiting the use of SVHC as defined by REACH regulation, unless otherwise exempted
- CMR Substances: Prohibiting the use of CMR substances (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic and toxic to Reproduction) classified 1A and 1B, unless an exemption is granted according to the procedure relating to the management of chemical products
- Authorized Products Only: Exclusively using authorized products accompanied by safety data sheets (SDS) in accordance with regulations in force
Monitoring and Traceability
OPmobility uses the IMDS (International Material Data System), a sector-based database developed for the automotive industry, to report the detailed composition of components and materials delivered. All materials used to manufacture vehicles are archived and tracked in this system.
The Group works with a third-party partner (Ecomundo) to:
- Identify substances considered as CMR or SVHC in development or production
- Conduct quarterly monitoring to map substances used and implement corrective actions
- Complete updates and projected views taking into account changes in regulations, guaranteeing regulatory compliance
Substance approval and control measures are integrated into each key step of the value chain, including manufacturing, use, and marketing processes.
Objective
The Group has set a target of no CMR 1A and 1B in production by 2030, as long as possible alternatives approved by customers exist.

| That leave facilities as products or product components | 115 |
| That leave facilities as services | 0 |
| TOTAL AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCES OF VERY HIGH CONCERN THAT LEAVE FACILITIES AS EMISSIONS, PRODUCTS OR COMPONENTS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES | 134 |
Methodology
The lists of substances come from:
- Appendix VI of the CLP Regulation (table 3) for substances of concern classified in hazard categories
- The "Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for Authorization" of ECHA (criterion in articles 57 and 59 of REACH) for SVHC
The IMDS database defines substances contained by type of parts and their quantity. Third-party reports identify substances in chemicals. The Group's ERP provides quantities used. A reconciliation of these tools provides an overview of SoC and SVHC sourced and marketed.
Important note: In the absence of a specific classification standard recommendation, and given the multiplicity of categories for the same substance proposed by REACH, the data are not distinguished by hazard class. The Group has chosen to wait for a specific standard to be proposed under the CSRD.
In all of the Group's processes, the quantities of SVHC and SoC leaving sites equal the quantity entering, as processes do not generate any SoC or SVHC. However, SoC and SVHC can be found in various outgoing flows, such as products sold, emissions, or waste.
E2-6Anticipated financial effects from pollution-related impacts, risks and opportunitiesReported
Anticipated financial effects from pollution-related impacts, risks and opportunities
No expenditure related to a major incident or a pollution deposit occurred in 2024.
Methodologies
Description of measurement methods (air pollution)
The sites are confronted with two cases to calculate the quantities of pollutant emitted into the air.
Information is available locally
The site can obtain the information locally thanks to an annual measurement campaign carried out during the normal operation of equipment such as incinerators, furnaces, the presence of refrigerant gas leaks, etc., in particular for carbon monoxide, ammonia, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxide emissions.
Emissions are estimated based on several parameters related to the Group's activity. It is extrapolated from production, taking into account elements such as opening hours and the quantities of plastic and composites processed.
Information is not available locally
If the information is not available locally, then it will be extrapolated based on information from the scientific literature.
This indicator is only validated by a sustainability auditor.
Description of measurement methods for microplastics
Data is retrieved from some of the sites concerned by microplastics. They come from waste service providers and are therefore external to OPmobility.
The raw material used (HDPE, adhesive, EVOH) consists of granules between 1 and 5 mm in diameter that the Group has considered by default as microplastics.
To determine the quantity of microplastics used, the sites measure the quantities released before and after the processes. Most of this comes from waste dust generated by regrinding, as well as microplastics recovered from the cleaning of areas near granule storage.
Finally, the final value is extrapolated to all sites using microplastics.
Regarding the limits of this approach, it should be noted that approximately half of the sites measured microplastic waste. In addition, no environmental accident with a leak of microplastics was reported in C‑Power's information system.
Substances of concern and substances of very high concern
The lists of substances used come from:
- appendix VI of the CLP Regulation (table 3) for substances of concern classified in the hazard categories;
- from the paragraph "Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for Authorization" of the ECHA (criterion in articles 57 and 59 of REACH) for substances of very high concern.
OPmobility's logistics practices do not take inventory into account, as they do not have a material impact. The IMDS database, an international reference in the automotive sector, is used to define the substances contained by type of parts and their quantity. Third party reports can identify the substances contained in the chemicals, given that the substances for maintenance products are only considered for C‑Power and Modules. The Group's ERP (integrated management software) provide the quantities used. A reconciliation of these tools and data provides an overview of the substances of concern and substances of very high concern that the Group sources and markets.
In all of the Group's processes, the quantities of SVHC and SOC leaving the sites are equal to the quantity entering, as the processes do not generate any SOC or SVHC. However, SOC and SVHC can be found in various outgoing flows, such as products sold, emissions or waste.
In the absence of a specific classification standard recommendation, and in view of the multiplicity of categories for the same substance proposed by REACH, the data are not distinguished by hazard class. The Group has chosen to wait for a specific standard to be proposed under the CSRD.
The methodology varies according to each business group because the nature of their products, their customers, their technologies, their data and their traceability history are different.
For example, in the context of H2-Power, the elements are extrapolated from an automotive project for which it has declarations in the IMDS tool. As this business group does not work exclusively for the automotive industry, the IMDS declaration is not regulatory and systematic.
E3 – Water and Marine Resources
E3-4Water consumptionReported
Water consumption
Materiality assessment
OPmobility has undertaken an assessment to identify actual and potential material impacts related to water and marine resources in its direct activities, and its upstream and downstream value chain. To study the impacts related to the use of freshwater, the Group used water stress and water depletion indicators from the World Resources Institute (WRI). A mapping of water challenges was carried out to better understand the potential impacts on water resources using SBTN Water maps.
The impact of freshwater abstraction and consumption by industrial sites is limited, as a large part of the plants operate in a water use closed circuit.
There is no impact related to water discharges into the ocean at the level of the Group's industrial sites. OPmobility's direct and indirect activities are not associated with the exploitation of marine resources.
OPmobility has not, therefore, identified and assessed the actual and potential material impacts related to water and marine resources in its own activities and in its upstream and downstream value chain, and has not carried out consultations, including with affected communities.
Policies and commitments
The 6 Environmental Basics include water and soil protection commitments:
- Limit water consumption and report any leaks
- Report and control any oil or chemical spill
- Avoid any contamination of water and soil by plastic granules
Metrics disclosure status
All quantitative water consumption metrics under ESRS E3-4 are marked as non-material in the cross-reference table:

These resources are essential to manufacture mobility products and solutions.
Quantitative Data
Total Products, Technical and Biological Materials
| Category | Weight (metric tons) |
|---|---|
| TOTAL | 1,307,430 |
Secondary Materials (Recycled/Reused)
| Components, materials and products | Absolute weight (metric tons) | Percentage of total weight (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Reused or recycled secondary components | 8,675 | 0.7 |
| Secondary intermediate products and secondary materials | 0 | 0 |
Biological Materials
Concerning the percentages of biological materials (including biofuels used for energy purposes) used to produce the Group's products and services (including packaging) that come from sustainable sources, as well as information on certification systems, OPmobility considers a value of 0%. Indeed, the biological materials processed by the Group are very negligible, with the exception of rubber seals and wooden pallets, and do not come from sustainable sources.
Sourcing and Supplier Information
- Sources of resources: They come from different regions of the world, from suppliers selected for their high standards in terms of sustainability and social responsibility
- Quantities and volumes: OPmobility publishes data on the quantities and volumes of the main material resources used. This information is presented in aggregate form to provide an overview of the Group's resource requirements
- Supplier selection criteria: Suppliers are selected according to strict criteria including quality of materials, compliance with environmental and social standards, and the ability to supply the required volumes reliably
- Inventory management: OPmobility implements advanced inventory management systems to optimize the use of material resources, minimize waste and ensure continuous availability of materials needed for production
- Sustainability initiatives: The Group engages in initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of its material resources, such as the use of recycled materials, reducing packaging and improving the efficiency of production processes
Methodology
The metrics are calculated on the IFRS scope. These metrics are consolidated from January 1 to November 30, 2024 and extrapolated to December 31.
To determine the total weight of its products and materials, OPmobility uses different methods:
- For the products of the Exterior, C-Power, Modules and Lighting business groups, the Group uses an extract from SAP which provides, by item code, the weights and quantities received in 2024. The methodology is identical for the raw materials of the C-Power and Lighting business groups.
- Concerning the products of the H2-Power business group, the Group does not have sufficiently precise data to make an estimate, and since the volumes were low, they were not included in the calculation. OPmobility will continue to improve the quality of this data in 2025.
- For the raw materials of the Exterior, H2-Power and Modules business groups, the material monitoring file is managed by the Materials Purchasing department of each business group.
- The biological materials used by OPmobility were considered as zero.
- For recycled materials and recycled products, monitoring tools are being implemented in each of its business groups. In 2024, only the Exterior and Modules business groups have a monitoring system to report data, in particular the percentage of recycled material in their plastics (RESIN).
E5-5Resource outflowsReported
Resource outflows
Recyclability and recycled content
Recycled materials in products:
- Development of a bumper with 30% recycled plastics (Exterior business group)
- Demonstrator containing 50% recycled plastics in body panels, including visible parts (Exterior business group)
- Construction of first demonstrators in 2023 with 100% recycled carbon fiber by filament winding (H2-Power business group)
- 132 recycled material references tested as of 2024
Product recyclability: The recyclability of OPmobility products was estimated for the Exterior and C-Power activities using different methods. The Group notes methodological limitations in calculating the weight of intermediate and secondary products. The typology of automotive parts and their diversity within OPmobility make it difficult to report the percentage of parts recycled for the Group, particularly for Modules parts, some of which are recycled and others, even within the same module, are not.
End-of-life considerations:
- Study on the reuse of end-of-life bumpers: work on the separation and recycling of components (Exterior)
- Research on chemical recycling of fuel tanks to produce HDPE with same characteristics as virgin HDPE from fossil sources (C-Power)
- Study on mechanical recycling of HDPE, including solvent-based desorption solutions and drying processes (C-Power)
- Exploring recycling processes (solvolysis, thermopyrolysis) for recovering long and continuous carbon fibers from pressurized composite tanks (H2-Power)
- Study on recycling and recovery of carbon composite waste (H2-Power)
Product lifetime
For scope 3.11 emissions calculations, the Group applies assumptions of:
- 10 years of use
- 15,000 kilometers traveled per year
- 10% of spare parts
This assumption has been maintained since 2019 to ensure comparability of data.
Eco-design commitments
OPmobility integrates environmental considerations from the design phase:
- Integration of carbon footprint assessment and life cycle analysis into project evaluation (Exterior)
- Development of lighter, more aerodynamic components
- Research and development of recycled and biosourced materials
- Optimization of manufacturing processes to limit energy consumption
- Implementation of responsible supply chains for traceability

Waste management approach
OPmobility implements the waste management hierarchy outlined in EU Directive 2008/98/EC, prioritizing:
- Prevention
- Preparation for reuse
- Recycling
- Other recovery (including energy recovery)
- Disposal
Key policies and practices:
- Waste prevention: Reintegration of internal production residues into the manufacturing process (reuse of waste and reduction in virgin material use)
- ISO 14001 certification: 87.2% of sites certified in 2024, targeting 100% by 2030
- Reporting methodology: Until now, OPmobility published waste generated according to type of waste and treatment type. To align with CSRD requirements, the Group now completes reporting with ranking of waste (hazardous and non-hazardous) and types of recovery and disposal aligned with Directive categorization
- Monitoring: Each site checks waste sorting and collection processes and uses certified service providers
- Supplier engagement: Supplier Charter requires responsible waste management
Methodological note: The 2024 reporting exercise concerning incoming resource flows has certain methodological limitations, particularly on the calculation of the weight of intermediate and secondary products.
Progress vs targets:
- 2023: 86% recycled or recovered waste
- 2024: 87.9% recycled or recovered waste
- 2024 target: 100%
- Strategic objective (ACT FOR PLANET pillar): Maximize waste recovery and minimize landfill

S1-9(was S1-10)Adequate wagesReported
Adequate wages
Benchmark used
Op Mobility states that "all employees receive an adequate wage, in accordance with the applicable benchmarks. No employee receives a wage lower than the applicable adequate wage index."
However, the company does not disclose which specific adequate wage benchmark is used. The only concrete reference to wage standards in the document states:
"OPmobility respects the legal minimum wage in each country in which it operates, in accordance with the applicable legal or contractual standard."
The Supplier Charter requires suppliers to ensure "fair wages" but does not define this against a living wage methodology.
Coverage
The company asserts 100% coverage with the statement:
"All employees receive an adequate wage, in accordance with the applicable benchmarks. No employee receives a wage lower than the applicable adequate wage index."
No quantitative assessment or verification methodology is disclosed.
Geographic scope
Global (all countries of operation), but no living wage benchmark methodology is disclosed.
Targets
No specific targets related to living wage are disclosed.
Methodology
No methodology is disclosed for how "adequate wage" is defined, calculated, or benchmarked. The company mentions:
- Participation in "regular surveys on compensation, benefit" to ensure competitiveness
- Analysis of gender pay gaps (gross indicator 21.9%, adjusted 5.8%)
- Compliance with legal minimum wage and contractual standards
The language used ("adequate wage index") suggests a benchmark may exist internally, but it is not named, described, or compared to recognized living wage standards (e.g., Fair Wage Network, Global Living Wage Coalition, Anker Methodology, etc.).
Value chain
The Supplier Charter requires suppliers to respect "fair wages" and the Know Your Suppliers approach assesses "fair wages, reasonable working hours and a safe working environment," but no living wage benchmark for suppliers is disclosed.
Assessment
Op Mobility asserts full compliance with "adequate wages" but provides no transparent living wage benchmark. The only verifiable standard mentioned is compliance with legal minimum wage in each country. This does not meet ESRS S1-10 requirements for living wage disclosure.

Percentage of employees with disabilities
| Year | Percentage |
|---|---|
| 2023 | 1.49% |
| 2024 | 1.48% |
Note: Data collection subject to legal restrictions in some countries.
Methodology and scope
The employment rate of persons with disabilities depends on the laws of the various countries, which are not harmonized. The rules for counting this population depend most of the time, as in France, on the individual's willingness to declare a disability. This is a factor limiting their identification and therefore the actions that can be taken to better integrate employees with disabilities.
Campaigns encouraging the disclosure of these situations are conducted on a regular basis and supported by the D&EI Diversity policy.
France-specific information
In France, OPmobility is a signatory of the Manifesto for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Economic Life, and includes its action plan in a disability agreement approved by the DRIEETS (Interdepartmental Regional Directorate for the Economy, Employment and Labor and Solidarity).
The employment rate of persons with disabilities in France exceeded the legal obligation of 6%, standing at 6.89% at December 31, 2023. The 2024 rate is not yet known for this publication since annual declarations are now made in May of year N + 1.
The reporting of this indicator is governed in France by strict standards and consolidated in the annual DOETH (Mandatory declaration of the employment of workers with disabilities) statement, which serves as the basis for establishing the mandatory annual contributions paid to Agefiph.
Key commitments in France
Mission Handicap France objectives:
- Raise awareness among all teams to change the way people look at disability and train key contacts
- Keep those with disabilities in employment
- Recruiting and integrating employees with disabilities
- Increasing purchases from the sheltered and adapted work sector (STPA)

Pay gap
OPmobility discloses both unadjusted and adjusted gender pay gaps for 2024.
Unadjusted gender pay gap: 21.9%
Adjusted gender pay gap: 5.8%
The company notes that a large share of the gross differences observed can be explained by the geographical dispersion of the female and male populations and by the level of positions held in the organization. The adjusted indicator takes into account these two criteria (employment level and geographic location).
Gender pay gap by country

|---|---|---|---|
| South Africa | 3.6 | Hungary | 8.3 |
| Germany | 1.9 | India | 20.3 |

Remuneration ratio
Total annual compensation ratio (2024): 118.4
This ratio represents the total annual compensation of the highest-paid individual (CEO) compared to the median employee compensation (excluding the highest-paid person).
Methodology
Pay gap calculation methodology
Unadjusted gap: Calculated without taking into account explanatory factors such as geographical location, professional category, experience, position held or qualifications. It reflects an overall difference in the average pay of men and women.
Total compensation includes:
- Annual fixed salary and target bonuses
- Long-term incentives (deferred long-term incentives)
- Benefits in kind related to company car
- Profit-sharing and incentives for French entities
Adjusted gap: Calculated by neutralizing structural factors to measure the pay gap with comparable positions and qualifications. This approach takes into account:
- Internal job classification level (only includes levels with at least 3 representatives of each gender)
- Countries (target total hourly wage converted to euros)
Remuneration ratio calculation methodology
Numerator (CEO total annual compensation) includes:
- Fixed compensation
- Annual variable compensation
- Exceptional compensation
- Directors' fees
- Benefits in kind (car)
- Long-term incentives (valuation of shares granted in 2024)
Denominator (median employee compensation) includes:
- Gross salary
- Target bonus
- Incentives and profit-sharing for French entities
- Company car/Company car allowance
- Valuation of shares received in 2024
Items from collective agreements (personal risk insurance, health insurance, supplementary pension) were not taken into account because they were identical for all employees or proportional to base salary.

Political influence and lobbying activities
Materiality assessment
According to the cross-reference table (page 287), ESRS G1-5 (Political influence and lobbying activities) has been assessed as non-material by OPmobility and is therefore not subject to detailed disclosure requirements.
Ethical standards and guidelines
OPmobility's Anti-Corruption Code of Conduct covers lobbying activities as one of the risk situations. The Code details dangerous situations and indicates prohibited behaviors to employees, including:
- Gifts and hospitality
- Relations with intermediaries
- Sponsorship, philanthropy and donations
- Lobbying
- Conflicts of interest
As part of a continuous improvement approach, a policy on lobbying activities is being drafted and will be finalized during the first quarter of 2025 (page 280).
The Group's anti-corruption e-learning training, available in 23 languages and taken by all Group Managers as well as non-Managers in exposed functions, covers lobbying among other topics.
Face-to-face training programs for managers and employees most exposed to corruption risks also address "the means of corruption and influence peddling, including gifts and hospitality, facilitation payments, intermediaries, sponsorship and patronage, lobbying, and conflicts of interest" (page 282).
Stakeholder engagement
OPmobility engages with trade associations through participation in working groups:
Trade associations: Attendance at AFEP, MEDEF, PFA and CLEPA meetings
- AFEP: Association Française des Entreprises Privées (French Association of Private Companies)
- MEDEF: French Company Association
- PFA: Platform for the Automotive Industry (brings together the automotive industry in France)
- CLEPA: European Association of Automotive Suppliers
(Page 157)

G1-6Payment practicesReported
Payment practices
Policy and approach
OPmobility applies payment terms in its contracts and orders that comply with the customs or laws in force in each country. As part of the "Purchase to Pay" process (from order to payment), the Group's systems systematically submit invoices for payment according to the terms of the order recorded at the time of its entry, or failing that, according to the terms of the invoice. Payment, after systematic control, is managed by the accounting departments of the invoiced entities.
Regarding the Company's standard payment terms, the practices of each business group are different. These can be found in the general terms and conditions of sale of each business group. Despite the efforts made by OPmobility, the Group does not have any information to date concerning the share of payments aligned with standard payment terms, and will endeavor to produce this data as of next year.
In order to ensure fair business practices and prevent late payments, OPmobility implemented the following actions in 2024:
- Contractual transparency: systematic inclusion of clear clauses on payment terms and penalties in the event of late payment in all supplier contracts

| Average number of days to pay an invoice from the date on which the contractual or statutory payment period begins to run | 61 days |
