GOVERNANCE 07 PYR: I would like to focus on the fact that, despite the current difficulties, the company has continued to provide the Foundation with the means to develop its action programs in developing countries and, in particular, to build on its joint programs with Dr. Denis Mukwege, 2019 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in the Central African Republic, where they resonate particularly strongly. What are your expectations and the Group’s goals for 2021? ED: The current financial year must be put to good use in order to get back on the path to growth in Dermo-Cosmetics & Personal Care. To achieve this, we can build on our Conscious Care* approach and a number of product launches representing our “Medical and Naturalness” positioning. In addition, we will focus on continuing to deploy our new products in oncology, which have lived up to our expectations. I am convinced that we have paved a promising future for the company. Beyond our goals for performance and results, we will be expanding our Green Mission approach by paying particular attention to two elements: reducing the carbon intensity of our activities, and the eco-friendly and socially responsible design of our products. Lastly, we will focus on the company's cultural transformation, in particular by adopting new ways of working. We must achieve greater simplification and cross- functionality, an essential condition for the success of the Transformation Plan. RD: Adoption of the transformation underway is, of course, essential. We must make further progress in terms of empowerment, decision-making and initiatives. While a crisis is often synonymous with withdrawal and putting up protective barriers, 2021 and the years that follow will need to be years of conquest and from growth to ensure our competitiveness, which is a guarantee of continuity. PYR: Priority will be given to continuing with the transformation implemented by the company’s management with the aim of restoring strong growth for dermo- cosmetics business and, first and foremost, its flagship brand Eau Thermale Avène, consolidating our launches in oncology and, in another area, enabling employees to take greater ownership of the Foundation’s actions. *See page 20 “Our Purpose is a promise to our stakeholders: we are committed to caring for patients and consumers, acting with total transparency, always working together, within our local communities.” Roch Doliveux, Chairman (non-executive) of the Pierre Fabre Group Supervisory Board “Having a Foundation certified as a French 'public interest' organization as our majority shareholder guarantees a long-term vision for the company in line with the spirit and humanistic values that are part of our DNA.
