MISSION COMMITTEE REVIEW
SUPPLY CHAIN
“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
GENDER EQUALITY

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.”

MISSION COMMITTEE REVIEW
SUPPLY CHAIN
“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.
GENDER EQUALITY
2. T he finalization and signing of the first ‘Social Sourcing Contracts’ – an approach that concretely advances
traditional suppliers on issues of living wage, environmental performance, and ethics. This mechanism opens
up necessary and courageous discussions.”

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.
To this end, we performed the following procedures: One of the Statutory Auditors
- Collection of information PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit
• we examined the documentation prepared by the entity to report on the performance of its
mission, in particular the provisions specifying the operational objectives and the related moni-
toring procedures, as well as the Mission Committee’s report; Amélie Wattel Anne Parenty
• we held discussions with the Mission Committee concerning its assessment of the implementation Partner Sustainable Development Partner
of the social and environmental objectives and, where appropriate, with the stakeholders for
the objectives relevant to them. Additionally, we reviewed the analysis presented in the Mission
Committee’s report, the results achieved upon completion of the operational objectives in relation
to their defined pathways, in order to assess compliance with the social and environmental objec-
tives. We also noted the way in which the Mission Committee reported on these results;
- Analysis of means and resources used
• we interviewed the entity’s governing body to assess the financial and non-financial resources
deployed to ensure compliance with the social and environmental objectives,
• in light of business trends over the period, we assessed the adequacy of the means and resources used
and those specifically aimed at achieving the operational objectives in relation to their pathways;
- Assessment of the fairness of the performance indicators
• we verified that the Mission Committee’s report includes performance indicators that are consistent
with the operational objectives set out, where applicable, and that enable the achievement of the
operational objectives and progress towards the achievement of the defined pathways;
• we assessed the fairness of all these indicators and, in particular, we:
o assessed the appropriateness of the entity’s Guidelines with respect to their relevance,
completeness, reliability, objectivity and understandability,
o verified that the indicators cover the entire scope resulting from the entity’s status as a mission-
driven company,
o familiarised ourselves with the internal control procedures put in place by the entity and
assessed the data collection process to ensure the fairness of these indicators,
o implemented controls and analytical procedures to verify the proper consolidation of the data
collected and the consistency of any changes in those data,
o implemented tests of details, using sampling techniques or other methods of selection, in order
to verify the proper application of the definitions and procedures and reconcile the data with
the supporting documents. Where necessary, this work was carried out by verifying data at
the entity’s head office and covered between 20% and 100% of the data used to calculate
the indicators,
Active supplier Supplier producing for Chloé during financial year 2024.

Community impact Sustained community impact in primary markets and sourcing backyards; NGO donations efforts; employee involvement and volunteering in communities.
Digital ID A digital passport for individual products that includes information on its origins, supply chain history, sustainability of its production, authenticity, services and brand, all
made available to customers through scanning a QR code or NFC chip inside the product.
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,
we require the names, addresses and precise regions (province, county, country) of the suppliers involved, including those of subcontractors.
Industrial Packaging All our primary packaging, branded or not, to protect, store and sell the product (hangers, polybags, tissue paper).
Leather Working Group A global multi-stakeholder community committed to building a sustainable future with responsible leather. They are a not-for-profit that drives best practices and positive
social and environmental change for responsible leather production.
Life Cycle Assessment Act of measuring the environmental impact of a product or service throughout its life cycle, from the resources used to create the product or service, across its use by the
user, to its final end-of-life destination. In the case of Chloé Vertical, life cycle analyses have been made from field to thread for wool, linen and silk, and from breeding to
tanning for leather.
Lower Impact Material Lower Impact materials are materials that have reduced impact on carbon footprint, water consumption, biodiversity loss and/or animal welfare (based on scientific studies)
compared with their conventional equivalent. The full list and guidelines of what Chloé considers to be lower impact materials have been developed in cooperation with
external experts and supported by Life Cycle Assessments (LCA). The list is updated and available on chloe.com
Organic Material Organic Material is defined as material sourced from agricultural processes that adhere to organic standards. It must be certified by standards such as GOTS or OCS100,
both of which are recognized by Chloé.
Point of Sales Materials (POSM) Point of Sales Materials include gifts, visual merchandising tools and uniforms for our retail teams

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
change and future-proof business growth. Launched in 2015, the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) is a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact,
World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
Science-Based Targets The Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN) network is a collaboration of leading global non-profits and mission-driven organizations working together to equip com-
for Nature (SBTN) panies as well as cities with the guidance to set science-based targets for all of Earth’s systems. They help them define a clear pathway to ensure they are doing enough
across their value chain to address their impacts and dependencies on nature.
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.
