It's in this new configuration that we look forward to the summer and the end of the year with some pleasant prospects: the Rugby World Cup, while waiting to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Tunnel and the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024. All this should enable us to continue to prosper. So it is with confidence in the future that I wish those who are able to take advantage of an excellent holiday.

New member of the Board

of Directors

On 19 July 2023, the Board of Directors co-optedJean Mouton as a non-independent director to replace Carlo Bertazzo, who resigned. Jean Mouton is a graduate of the École Supérieure des Travaux Publics and holds an MBA from the University of Chicago. He has worked for Vinci in the Middle East and then mainly in France and Italy since joining Boston Consul�ng Group in 1982 in a wide range of industrial sectors, including energy, industrial goods and infrastructure; he has helped multinational companies redefine their strategies and organisations, and supported numerous clients in mergers and acquisitions. He was Senior Partner and Managing Director of Boston Consul�ng Group until 30 April 2019, and then Senior Advisor until 30 April 2020. Chairman of the board of directors of Nexans since 15 May 2019, he is also a member of the supervisory board of Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur and a member of the board of Egis, an international player in consulting, construction engineering and mobility services. Jean Mouton is also the chairman of Stelmax SASU.

Ratification of the appointment of the new Board member will be proposed at the 2024 AGM.

New LeShu�le brand iden�ty

The approach of the Channel Tunnel's 30th anniversary is an ideal time to reaffirm the DNA of the LeShuttle brand and its values. The new look of the brand under which Euro- tunnel's rail shuttle service operates reflects the significant changes taking place in transport between the UK, France and Europe. The new logo, simple and sober, visually embodies the essence of its offer: speed and efficiency, while referring to the technological prowess of the Channel Tunnel infrastructure.

Getlink unveils Sherpass

A one-stop shop for a smart, efficient and fast border! Sher- pass aims to simplify the border crossing process between France and the UK by introducing a one-stop shop. The aim of this initiative is to save a considerable amount of �me by eliminating the need to enter information several times and by reducing multiple interactions linked to the management of documentation, while maintaining a op�mum level of security. In October 2023, road hauliers and logistics operators will have access to this service.

Commit

Are listed companies capable of

meeting their carbon bill ?

Yann Leriche

In 2023, Getlink will be one of the companies able to pay its bills for CO2 emissions. This initiative was launched by Axylia, a consultancy specialising in responsible investment, which has developed an innovative methodology called the Vérité40 index.

This method converts all CO2 emissions into euros, allowing the carbon bill to be deducted from the company's operating results. Getlink has successfully risen to the challenge thanks to the measures taken throughout the year, resulting in a significant improvement in its carbon score from a C in 2022 to an A.

This places Getlink among the leading companies. A car crossing via LeShuttle emits 73 �mes less greenhouse gas than an iden�cal journey by ferry! Our company is on the right track and will continue to progress in this direction to achieve its am- bi�on of becoming the company of tomorrow.

Between 2019 and 2025, we aim to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 30%, and we'll be continuing our efforts beyond that date!

Taking part in the CommonGoodSummit

Getlink took part in the CommonGoodSummit on 1 and 2 June 2023. This event brings together experts who clarify their approaches to the common good in order to find answers to the challenges facing our planet. Yann Leriche, our Chief Execu�ve Officer, represented Getlink at this event. The CommonGoodSummit was organised jointly by Challenges, the Toulouse School of Economics and Les Echos, in collaboration with Parisien Événements. What are the risks for businesses? How can we be carbon neutral by 2050? European industry between energy sobriety and compe��veness? You can listen to the replay

The 2023 Rencontres du Climat

On 5 April 2023, Getlink organised the first session of the Rencontres du Climat with the participation of Eu- ronext and our partner Toulouse School of Economics. This session addressed the issue of «the flaws in ESG ra- �ngs and their impact on the effec�veness of corporate climate ac�on». This debate is part of our objectives to improve our assessment of climate resilience by anticipating the progressive impact of European and British carbon pricing, and to guide our investment choices in terms of decarbonisa�on. We also want to improve the transparency and objectivity of our climate indicators.
