LIFE CYCLE         people management is based on the principles of
                   meritocracy.

                   In addition to the gender equality measures included in our
                   plan, we have a number of programmes and initiatives
                   aimed at supporting our employees and their families in the
                   areas that matter most in their lives, such as health and
                   education, thereby helping them reconcile their work, private
                   and family lives, and ensuring their well-being and quality of
                   life. As a benchmark employer, we thus believe that we are
                   helping to shape a fairer society, both encouraging equal
                   opportunity and developing our people.
