8 OTHER INFORMATION Glossaries PLASTIC OMNIUM 2018 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 301 TECHNICAL AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GLOSSARY A ACT FOR ALL Plastic Omnium’s CSR Program C Circular Economy The circular economy is an economic concept that is notably inspired by the ideas of the green economy, the economy of use or the economy of functionality, the performance economy and industrial ecology. It aims to produce goods and services whilst significantly limiting the consumption and waste of raw materials, and the use of non-renewable energy sources. CMR Carcinogenic, Mutagenic and Reprotoxic substance. Composite A composite material is an assembly of at least two immiscible components (but with a high penetration ability) with properties that complement each other. This process enhances the material’s performance for certain uses (lightness, rigidity, etc.). CO2 Carbon dioxide, or carbon gas, mainly from the combustion of hydrocarbons and coal (industry, energy generation, transport, etc.). CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) CSR for Plastic Omnium is structured around three focus areas with the aim of becoming the leading partner for sustainable mobility: sustainable production; ● attention to employees; ● responsible entrepreneurs. ● F Fuel cell This is an electrochemical device that produces electricity by reverse electrolysis of water. G GHG (Greenhouse gases) Greenhouse gases (GHG) are gas components that absorb the infrared radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface, and contribute to the greenhouse effect. Their increased concentration in the Earth’s atmosphere is one of the factors causing global warming. GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) A not-for-profit organization that aims to develop directives applicable worldwide with respect to corporate sustainable development policies and reporting. www.globalreporting.org I ISO 14001 International environmental management system standard.

Hybrid This is a general operating principle which consists of combining an electrical engine (often reversible as a generator) with a combustion engine to propel a vehicle. Hydrogen “Hydrogen vehicle” refers to any type of transport that uses the chemical transformation of hydrogen as a propulsion energy source. Hydro-soluble paint Paint that uses water and not solvents as thinners. N NOx Comprising nitrogen and oxygen and including nitric acid and nitrogen dioxide gases. NOx are mainly produced by the combustion of hydrocarbons. O OHSAS 18001/ISO 45001 International workplace health and safety management system standard. Open Innovation Plastic Omnium has chosen an “open innovation” approach. Its three main focuses are environmental sustainability, or how to move towards clean propulsion systems; the autonomous car and the shared vehicle, or how to integrate the new IT, data capture and processing technologies; and industrial performance (4.0 plant) or how to use data to create the most efficient production and logistics technologies while developing employees’ skills. R RobecoSAM RobecoSAM (Sustainable Asset Management): an asset manager specializing in sustainable investments and the analysis of non-financial corporate performance (environmental, social, governance, etc.). The quality of the analysis produced has led it to create and manage jointly with Standard and Poors the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes, a family of indexes that assess the sustainable performance of the 2,500 largest companies ranked in the Dow Jones Global Total Stock Market Index. www.sustainability-index.com
