Methodology
The scope of the Non-Financial Performance
Statement
The scope of the DPEF 2023 Non-Financial
Performance Statement covers all Group entities with
at least one employee, which are either Proportionally
or Fully Consolidated and were actively trading on
31 December 2024. Proportionally consolidated
entities (Vitas Brasil, DTL Nutri Liquide and Uva Terra)
are included at 50% for environmental indicators and
100% for social indicators.
Dormant and/or non-actively trading entities, entities
liquidated or disposed of or acquired during 2024,
those with no employees and those accounted for
using the equity method are excluded. Due to the
nature of its activities, the Group has no involvement
in setting up initiatives to promote the link
between France and its armed forces or supporting
commitment with reserve forces.
No new collective agreement was signed in 2024,
hence the absence of reference to any agreements
in this Non-Financial Reporting Statement.
The scope of the indicators used
The number of Group and business line employees
includes the workforce on 31 December 2024,
excluding temporary staff and work/study trainees.
All social indicators are calculated on the basis of this
scope. The scope applied to calculating the accident
frequency and severity rates includes only the
employed workforce.
Neither the intensity indicators (for water, energy
and carbon) based on tonnages produced nor
the indicators relating to sustainable product
ranges apply to those activities that consist solely
of producing raw materials and intermediate or
semi-f inished products (Compagnie Armoricaine
de Navigation, Refranor and the TIMAC AGRO
superphosphate caves). This new calculation rule
has been applied to update the 2022 and 2023 ratios
in order to ensure that intensity indicator trends are
measured on a consistent basis.
An in-house training programme is def ined as a
programme exclusively designed for Groupe Roullier
employees, and within which at least 60% of training
hours are led and delivered by employees. Its
purpose is to develop the skills of trainees and/or
make them experts in their careers with the Group.
In-house programmes provide at least 14 hours of
training delivered through a series of topic-specif ic
sessions; these programmes must be standardised
(editorial content/formalised document oversight),
repeatable and updatable. Programmes begun before
2024, but which still had sessions to run in 2024,
are included. The proportion of subsidiaries with
an in-house training programme in place includes
only those entities with a workforce of at least 100
employees. The 2022 and 2023 data for this indicator
have been withdrawn from the 2024 Non-Financial
Reporting Statement following a clarif ication of the
methodology which rendered the previously reported
data obsolete.
The associated indicator for the number of employees
benef itting from these programmes is not published
for 2024, and the data for 2023 has been deleted as
being insuff iciently reliable. The average number of
training hours per employee is calculated by dividing
the total number of training hours by the number
of employees receiving training. The 2022 and
2023 data have been corrected because they were
previously based on the total workforce and not on
the proportion that had received training. The 2023
f igure for product recalls has also been amended to
ref lect greater familiarisation of our subsidiaries with
this indicator.
The proportion of recycled water used is based on
the total volume of water abstracted by the Group,
i.e. water from boreholes, mains water, recycled water
and water from other sources.
CO
2
equivalent emissions are calculated for Scopes
1 and 2. The emission factors for both scopes have
been updated to take account only of combustion,
