Introduced in 2015, the first comprehensive safety campaign illustrates the constant attention paid by the Group, beyond its legal obligations, to the health and safety of its employees. Designed as a means of support and a complement to policies implemented in each banner, this initiative has three goals: guarantee a safe work

environment, build a culture of shared responsibility, and ensure employee engagement by sharing best practices. In May 2015, the Group s safety standards were shared across all Rexel operating countries. The exchange of best practices will be strengthened in 2016 via a web-based platform. The campaign Be safe. Be responsible. which

revolves around 10 safety principles, was also rolled out in 2015 in the 115 distribution centers in the Group s 35 countries. The campaign represented a powerful lever for raising employee awareness: the frequency of accidents in distribution centers decreased by 17% between 2014 and 2015. The campaign ran from January to June 2016 throughout the Group s headquarters and branches.
