Responsible Purchasing Charter

Preamble

	The Bolloré Group's Responsible Purchasing Charter
	describes the principles in place to ensure ethical and
	sustainable commercial relationships with its suppliers
	of goods and services and its subcontractors, in strict
	compliance with applicable laws and regulations and
	the Group's commitments in terms of Corporate Social
	Responsibility (CSR).
	These principles reflect the Group's commitment to
	implementing all measures necessary to prevent and
	mitigate risks and any serious violations or breaches
	in matters of ethics, environment and human rights
	as related to its business activities and to optimize its
	positive impacts throughout its value chains and within
	the framework of a responsible purchasing approach.
2		Purpose of the Responsible Purchasing Charter
		To share the Group's commitments with its suppliers
		and subcontractors and ensure their involvement
		in a process for sustainable development.
	The Bolloré Group thus expects from its suppliers and
	subcontractors strict compliance with the laws and
	regulations in force in the countries where they are present
	or provide services, as well as a commitment to collaborate
	with the Group for the implementation of compliance
	principles explained in its Ethics and CSR Charter, and
	if necessary, to take any appropriate corrective action
	in a process of continuous improvement.
