Corporate Social Responsibility
At Exosens, we develop high-performance technologies that address key challenges relating to sovereignty, security, scientific research, space exploration, healthcare, industry and environmental protection. Through our solutions, we support our clients in their most critical missions whilst creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders.
This ambition forms part of a long-term vision: to combine innovation, operational excellence and sustainable development in order to make a positive contribution to the society in which we operate.
Aware of our responsibility, we fully integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations at the heart of our development strategy. Our sustainability roadmap is structured around a dual materiality matrix, in accordance with the requirements of the European Directive on Non-Financial Reporting (CSRD). Exosens is also a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact and adheres to the Ten Principles relating to respect for human rights, labour standards, anti-corruption and the environment. Our commitments are also part of an approach aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We have structured our sustainability strategy around four pillars :
• Building sustainable partnership
• Taking care of individuals
• Enhancing our environmental sustainability
• Being uncompromising on ethics and compliance
ENHANCING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Environmental responsibility is a key pillar of our sustainable development strategy. Since 2023, the Group has been calculating its carbon footprint annually in order to measure, manage and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. In terms of energy, our decarbonisation roadmap is based on four key areas: energy conservation and efficiency, the electrification of our heating systems and vehicles, and the use of certified renewable energy. The Group is also continuing its work to reduce emissions in other areas of its carbon footprint.
Furthermore, 33 per cent of the Group’s operational sites are ISO 14001-certified, attesting to the implementation of a recognised environmental management system.
Target
2026
74% of energy consumed comes from renewable sources
2027
100% of new products incorporating eco-design criteria

ACHIEVING CSR IMPACT WITH PARTNERS
In 2024, EXOSENS strengthened its commitment to a responsible supply chain by rolling out a Responsible Purchasing Policy and a Partner Code of Conduct. The latter has now been signed by all relevant suppliers. This approach systematically incorporates ESG criteria into the processes for selecting, assessing and managing suppliers. This policy helps to promote practices that respect human rights, the environment and the principles of business ethics, whilst strengthening the resilience of our supply chain.

TAKING CARE OF INDIVIDUALS
The men and women at Exosens are our priority. We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive working environment that fosters personal fulfilment for everyone.
In 2024, 42% of the workforce at our operational sites was covered by ISO 45001 certification, demonstrating our commitment to health, safety and risk prevention. Since that same year, an annual engagement survey has been used to measure staff satisfaction and identify areas for improvement. A confidential and anonymous reporting platform is also available to staff to ensure a responsible working environment that aligns with our values. In 2025, all our managers undertook training on discrimination and harassment. Well-being is also promoted through initiatives such as the ‘Move for Impact Challenge’, an annual fitness challenge for staff, and the company’s contribution towards the cost of gym memberships. Finally, in 2025, Exosens strengthened its commitment to inclusion by forging two partnerships with sheltered workshops (ESATs) in Europe.

BEING UNCOMPROMISING ON ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE
Ethics and compliance are fundamental principles of Exosens’ governance. The Group relies on a robust framework designed to ensure the integrity of its practices and the compliance of its operations in all the countries where it operates.
Our Code of Ethics forms the fundamentals of this approach. It is complemented by a rigorous anti-corruption program covering our agents, distributors, customers and suppliers, through a process of auditing and risk assessment.
By 2026, almost all of our employees that are the most at risk had completed training dedicated to the prevention of corruption, whilst all our agents and distributors, as well as over 90% of our key customers and suppliers, had undergone an assessment of corruption risks. These initiatives aim to prevent the risks of corruption, conflicts of interest and regulatory non-compliance, whilst maintaining a responsible dialogue with our suppliers and partners. The protection of industrial data and cybersecurity are also strategic priorities for Exosens. Given the sensitive nature of our technologies and the critical environments in which they are deployed, the Group has implemented a framework designed to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity and availability of its information systems and industrial data. This approach is based on dedicated governance, measures to prevent, detect and respond to incidents, and the continuous improvement of our cybersecurity standards, in order to ensure the resilience of our operations and maintain the trust of our customers and partners. Cybersecurity is regularly monitored by the governance bodies as part of our overall risk management framework.
