          Corporate Social Responsibility
        
        
          In France, the senior staff follows the principle of a flat number
        
        
          of days per annum (218), thereby acquiring days off. Depending
        
        
          on entities, executives can use some of these days in the form
        
        
          of a co-investment to benefit from employer-funded training
        
        
          activities.
        
        
          
            1.2.2 Absenteeism
          
        
        
          In 2012, the absenteeism rate is 4% across the LISI Group.
        
        
          Various measures are taken at the divisions to reduce the
        
        
          number of hours lost:
        
        
          •
        
        
          at most units, incentive agreements include an absenteeism
        
        
          indicator,
        
        
          •
        
        
          interviews are conducted upon the employee's return to
        
        
          identify the levers of progress that will help prevent further
        
        
          absences (eg work on ergonomics, gestures and posture
        
        
          training, adaptation of team schedules),
        
        
          •
        
        
          communication actions are put in place to educate staff on
        
        
          the impact of unanticipated absences on production cycles.
        
        
          In France, LISI Group employees benefit from Réhalto's services
        
        
          to prevent psychosocial risks and stress or even to accompany
        
        
          their return to active life.
        
        
          This listening and support platform, composed of psychologists
        
        
          available 24x7, allows any employee of the Group to obtain
        
        
          the assistance of a qualified professional to overcome their
        
        
          problems and find a solution to their difficulties, be they of a
        
        
          personal, professional, family or addiction-related nature.
        
        
          With a simple phone call, any employee can make contact,
        
        
          in full confidentiality, with a psychosocial worker in their
        
        
          region. The employee can benefit from up to 12 hours of paid
        
        
          consultations.
        
        
          
            1.3 Labor relations
          
        
        
          
            1.3.1 The organization of social dialogue, including the staff
          
        
        
          
            information, consultation and negotiation procedures:
          
        
        
          In addition to strict compliance with applicable law, the
        
        
          Group pays attention to social dialogue with the employees'
        
        
          representatives, altogether during meetings of the works
        
        
          committee (or the single employees' delegation) on each of
        
        
          the sites which has such a body, the central works committee
        
        
          (Blanc Aero Industries and LISI AUTOMOTIVE Former), the
        
        
          European committee and the Group committee of LISI.

          in order to make them aware of the importance of maintaining
        
        
          good quality social dialogue.
        
        
          Besides, specific committees meet regularly to discuss and
        
        
          make progress on the various issues for which they were
        
        
          formed. This is the case in particular for the complementary
        
        
          health insurance committee, the gender equality committee,
        
        
          the future employment and skills management committee,
        
        
          and the training committee.
