“The success of a purpose-driven company is dependent on its people. Chloé has built an inclusive
culture where all employees are encouraged to be leaders of change. As the client representative
on the Mission Committee, I believe that management has transformed how the brand is perceived
and experienced. It is obvious in interactions between clients and employees that Chloé takes sus-
tainability and social impact seriously. This strong commitment stems from the company’s investment
in meaningful training, sustainability KPIs and volunteering opportunities. By equipping employees
with the tools to be active in sustainability, Chloé ensures that the ethos of the brand is not just
maintained but championed by everyone within it. Looking ahead, I expect engagement levels in
these initiatives to increase, guaranteeing that this transformative approach reaches every corner of

the organization. It will create stronger bonds between the company’s employees – specifically the
sales associates – and the clients and strengthen brand loyalty.”

MISSION COMMITTEE REVIEW

“After reviewing Chloé’s Product KPIs, it’s clear they are deepening their understanding
of emissions and advancing their sustainability objectives. Their initiatives in ecodesign and
transportation modelling have reduced their carbon footprint. Chloé’s prioritization of lower
impact materials and reduced water use from the start demonstrates a fundamental shift
in their production practices. This contributed to them achieving their 2025 carbon targets two
years early, supported by greater reliance on sea freight and optimized inventory processes.

GENDER EQUALITY
The introduction of circularity initiatives underscores their commitment to rethinking business
as usual. Chloé has now to define its 2030 carbon trajectory.”

“After reviewing Chloé’s Sourcing KPIs, it is evident that their strategic efforts are translating into measurable
improvements within their supply chain. The key to a fashion house’s progress on its social and environmental
impacts is a detailed understanding of its value chain. For Chloé, this year has been about structuring and
realizing several initiatives:

1. The successful testing of the Digital ID system, which already covers 100% of the RTW, with the very
interesting idea of pairing this information with an authenticity certificate to facilitate potential resale and the
second life of products. Driven by the AGEC law in France, the progress related to the Digital ID within their
supply chain is complex to implement but is a testament to the robustness of their commitment.

This is a free translation into English of the Statutory Auditor’s report issued in French and is provided
solely for the convenience of English speaking readers. This report should be read in conjunction with,
and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.

To the Shareholders,
CHLOÉ In our capacity as Statutory Auditor of Chloé, appointed as an independent third party (the “third
party”), certified by Cofrac under number 3-1862 whose scope is available at www.cofrac.fr), we

For the period from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 presented in the Mission Committee’s report and relating to the period from 1 April 2023 to 31 March
2024, attached to the management report pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 210-10 of the French
Commercial Code (Code de commerce).

Conclusion
For the statutory objective: “To give everyone the opportunity and tools to be agents of change”, Chloé
has incorporated sustainability indicators into its employee performance plans. These criteria have yet
not been rolled out to all employees.
For the statutory objective “Drive a transparent, traceable and fair supply chain”, Chloé has set the
objective of rolling out a digital passport for all its Ready-to-Wear products and for some of its bags,
shoes and small leather goods. For technical reasons, the objective relating to bags, shoes and small
leather goods could not be met.
As a result of the above, we were not able to gather sufficient and adequate information to reach a
conclusion on the entity’s compliance with the social and environmental objectives, “To give everyone
the opportunity and tools to be agents of change” and “To drive a transparent, traceable and fair
supply chain”, adopted pursuant to paragraph 2 of Article L. 210-10 of the French Commercial Code
and set out in its Articles of Association, which Chloé has committed to pursuing, in keeping with its
corporate purpose (raison d’être) and its business activity.
In addition, based on the procedures we have performed, as described in the “Nature and scope of
our work” section, and the information we have obtained, for each of the other social and environ-
mental objectives within the scope of the entity’s status as a mission-driven company and at the end of
the period covered by our work, nothing has come to our attention that calls into question:
- the fact that the entity has achieved the operational objectives set and that underlie the aforemen-
tioned social and environmental objectives;
- the fact that the entity has mobilised adequate and consistent means as regards its resources and the
action plan defined by management; and that
- consequently, Chloé complies with each of the other social and environmental objectives it has
committed to pursuing, in line with its corporate purpose and its business activity with regard to these
social and environmental issues.

Preparation of the information relating to the implementation of social and environmental objectives
The absence of a generally accepted and commonly used reference framework or established practice
on which to base the evaluation and measurement of the implementation of the social and environ-
mental objectives permits the use of different, but acceptable, measurement techniques that may affect
comparability between entities and through time.
Consequently, the information relating to the implementation of social and environmental objectives
needs to be read and understood with reference to the entity’s procedures (hereinafter the “Guide-
lines”), the key points of which are presented in the Mission Committee’s report.

Ecosystem services Ecosystem services define the benefits that functioning ecosystems and natural resources provide to human development and well-being. These services can be categorized
as either provisioning, supporting, regulating or cultural services.
Fully traceable A fully traceable raw material has a full known supply chain that is auditable, verifiable, and constant during the production of an article. For each step of the supply chain,

Science-Based Targets (SBT) Science-Based Targets (SBT) provide a clearly-defined pathway for companies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, helping prevent the worst impacts of climate

Scope 1 Scope 1 covers all the emissions that were directly induced by the company, such as company-owned car emissions.

Scope 2 Scope 2 covers indirect emissions related to energy purchases. The GHG protocol enables businesses to quantify their purchases of renewable energies according to
a location-based method (based on the country’s energy mix) or a market-based one (based on the renewable energies’ origin).

Scope 3 Scope 3 involves both upstream activities such as raw materials purchases, product manufacturing, business travel and downstream activities such as downstream transport.
