At the end of 2020, a joint working group was set up to carry out an assessment of psychosocial risks (PSR). This working group is composed of French and Belgian employees who exchange directly with the consultants. An anonymous questionnaire was created by the group based on the INRS PSR evaluation grid, which enabled us to raise the points on which we need to take action. Concerned about the safety of its employees, the MCA Group has implemented actions to establish a safety culture within the company. This involves setting up an HSE chat system, where the QSSE department organises an informal 15-20 minute discussion with a group of employees on a previously chosen safety topic. In addition, during the year we set up a field reporting tool to encourage and help employees to report any dangerous situations and/or events they may encounter during the working day. We organise first aid training for volunteer employees and internal awareness training in the event of an evacuation. So far, we have trained 8 employees at the group's head office and 14 fire safety officers who have been made aware of what to do in the event of a fire. To continue implementing a CSR approach, the Group has set itself the objective of drafting a commitment to fight against all forms of discrimination at work during the year 2022. In order to maintain a balance between the professional and private lives of its employees, the MCA Group has implemented a policy on the right to disconnect for all MCA employees. We communicate regularly to maintain this balance.Environment

As an external service provider to its customers and given our activities, the MCA Group has little room for manoeuvre regarding the environmental impact of its activities. However, we do pay close attention to current environmental issues. For this reason, we have carried out a diagnostic under the ISO 14001 model, which has enabled us to identify our significant environmental aspects (SEAs) and to put in place an action plan to limit our environmental impact. In France and Belgium, the QhSE department regularly sends out communication emails and quizzes on eco-actions. Environmental communication posters (heating, lighting, windows) are also displayed in the premises, as in Germany. Each company takes initiatives to raise awareness of eco-actions and respect for the environment. For example: We ask our employees to set their black & white double-sided printing by default, and to print only when necessary. Since September 2016, secure containers for collecting office paper waste have been installed at the Levallois headquarters. This waste is then collected, destroyed on site and recycled by a service provider specialising in this field. In this way, the confidentiality of our data is respected and our paper waste is recycled. In many other companies of the group, a selective sorting is set up and also allows to recycle paper (Italy, Germany, Sweden...). In order to reduce the impact of car travel, MCA Sweden encourages its consultants to avoid unnecessary travel between the client site and the MCA office, and, like our Italian subsidiary, favours teleconferencing and phone calls whenever possible. The MCA Group is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and manages its vehicle fleet accordingly. For example, for all new purchases or renewals of fleet vehicles, each entity favours hybrid and 100% electric models. We have installed charging stations in the head office car park.Anti-corruption

The Group's management has put in place a Code of Conduct as part of its ethical approach. Indeed, we formally prohibit our employees, clients and suppliers from any act of corruption, influence peddling and conflicts of interest, whatever the form or purpose. In the event of a breach of the provisions of this Code, the employee may be subject to disciplinary sanctions as provided for in the internal regulations and/or the laws and regulations in force in the country in which we operate. This Code sets out our fundamental commitments, including a zero tolerance policy towards bribery, corruption and influence peddling and specifies the various prohibited behaviours. As the Code cannot cover all risk situations, employees are invited to seek information or confirmation from the Compliance Officer. The document has been distributed to all group employees and made available on the intranet. It is also attached to our subcontracting contracts.
