measures to address the risks related to worker welfare. Subcontractors and suppliers may be subject to human rights due diligence to understand potential areas of concern and define specific actions to mitigate the concerns before the execution of work. It allows us to discuss and align standards and processes with suppliers and subcontractors involved during the tendering phase of a project and before the signature of a contract. In addition, we are working on developing processes to evaluate the implementation of human rights and workers welfare requirements by our subcontractors during the execution of the work. In some instances, a set of human rights KPIs aimed at monitoring the human rights performance of the subcontractors during operations has been developed and integrated to the contractual requirements. Also, we continue to assess how our company-wide monitoring processes could be reinforced in this area.
Collaboration We are convinced that Human Rights are not the responsibility of one company, but of many companies working together to make a difference. This is why we endeavor to discuss and align with all stakeholders from the earliest phase of tendering. As members of the Steering Committee of Building Responsibly, an association of leading companies that promote human rights and worker welfare in engineering and construction, we are closely involved in the definition of standards and
development of tools associated with the Building Responsibly Worker Welfare Principles to support the industry supply chain. Technip Energies is also a member of the United Nations Global Compact. By speaking with the same voice and establishing agreed standards to prohibit any form of forced labor, discrimination, and harassment, while promoting ethical recruitment practices, and a safe working environment, we can have greater influence with our stakeholders.
Social Accountability – SA8000 Certification
Technip Energies Italy is certified to the SA8000 Standard to manifest its commitment to protecting human rights in the workplace. The SA8000 Standard is the leading social certification, based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Labor Organization (ILO) conventions. Since 2011, Technip Energies Italy is audited on a quarterly basis by an external and independent third party approved by Social Accountability International (SAI). In addition to the HSE team, we put a social team in place for each EPC and EPCm project managed by Rome operating center. Their job is to work with stakeholders to assess the specific welfare issues of each project and to implement actions to address the needs of the workforce. Raising awareness, establishing a grievance mechanism, and facilitating dialogue are important aspects of their role.
violence; ensuring fair working conditions; maintaining a safe, healthy and secure workplace; ensuring ethical recruitment; respecting freedom of association and collective bargaining and grievance mechanisms. The protection of human rights principles involves many aspects of our operations and is a topic handled by different functions and departments working together to develop and implement effective processes to foster a better working environment for our employees and our subcontractors. We have defined our overall policy by engaging with external and internal stakeholders to embed respect for human rights in our operations and business relationships and promote the protection of human rights for our employees in the workplace and across our supply chain as a foundational business practice. We have developed a Human Rights Standard, supplemented by dedicated processes, which collectively set forth recognized human rights and worker welfare principles to ensure our operations are executed in compliance with these standards and to ensure everyone with whom we work is treated with respect and dignity.
Risk assessment and mitigation Identifying and mapping the risks related to human rights in our operations enables us to put in place appropriate mitigation measures. We follow a risk-based approach to assess where our operations face the highest risks from a Human Rights perspective and define mitigation

Assiut Oil Refinery Expansion and Upgrade Project
Two projects in Egypt managed by our Rome operating center demonstrate the progress that is being made to protect human rights and promote worker welfare.
My role is to ensure that we act in compliance with the SA8000 certification. This means raising the bar on the social aspects of EPC project management in the same way that HSE has been raised in the past. It is reflected in our Purpose, our Values and our ESG Roadmap, and it can be a differentiator in the industry. Our project managers and directors are convinced. Results have shown that improvements in worker welfare can lead to improved safety and higher productivity.”

70 . ESG Roadmap and Performance
Teaching workers about their rights and duties, treating them fairly and with respect, bringing their grievances to the attention of management and solving them, demonstrates to workers that we take care of people, and it provides them with a sense of belonging. It also has a positive result in terms of overall safety. Going forward, we will share these initiatives and transfer the knowledge gained from our experience on these projects to other operating centers.
