3. Implementation of the 2005 GFA  Example of positive cooperations  « Indonesia case », 2011/2012  Subcontractors employees paid below the local minimum wage + freedom of association issues  IU helped Lafarge to create a « local committee » to resolve these issues  Subcontracting topic, from 2007 to 2012  Many examples where regulation and work conditions were not « optimized »  Lafarge faced « positive pressure » from IU, maintained dialogue, developed a draft policy and included the topic into the 2013 GFA. Because of this dialogue with international unions, IU get in touch with us before forming an opinion and we can often manage potential issues. 6 Sharing a few international cases GIRN Meeting April 24th |

Why is Lafarge signing a new GFA in 2013?  Process: We took our time (almost 3 years)  Signing a new GFA was not obvious because, previously, we had found our « cruising speed » with IU and we did not want to create new conflicts.  Stable interlocutors, formation of IndustriALL, on-going press release  Nevertheless, their high initial demands diminished to become more reasonable.  The UN Guiding principles on Human Rights are only recognized in their fundamental rights, knowing that the company was already committed to respect the Global Compact.  No involvement of local unions, but an “observer seat” for the Secretary of the European Works Council (formalization of what was done before).  Subcontracting is mentioned as an area where fundamental social rights should be respected, but remaining the responsibility of the contractors.  Regarding the freedom of association, nothing specific has been changed.  Some rights for migrant workers are recognized.  This new GFA will likely have a positive impact on the company’s perception.  To differentiate ourselves from competitors.  This new GFA allowed Lafarge to add some elements of its strategy: 2020 Sustainability Ambitions, diversity… 7 Reasons directly linked to the Group’s ambitions GIRN Meeting April 24th |
