LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE PRESIDENT

We are pleased to share our Corporate Social Responsibility report, where we present Dallant’s business model and Dallant’s 2015 main activity centres. This report has been prepared following the keys of GRI G4, in order to intensify the information to our stakeholders. In this document we would like to maintain a continuous, open and clear dialogue with our clients and also with the suppliers, shareholders and our team. Throughout 2015, we have maintained our sustainability and efficiency policy carrying out an important investment effort on the expansion and the production facilities integration at the main office in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, El Palau d’Anglesola (Lleida) and Ceutí (Murcia) through equity capital as the main source of financing, which demonstrates our strong and healthy financial situation. Also, to the last renewals we can add the continuous commitment to RTD that is constantly developing features of naturalness and enhancing the organoleptic feelings as the natural salt and sweet enhancer. In the same way, we have moved forward to create value in our commitment towards sustainable development, which is essential for the consolidation and reinforcement of the management system OHSAS 18001, emphasizing our commitment to occupational safety.

Moreover, we want to highlight the people who are part of Dallant’s environment, who are the pillars of our activity. Throughout our more than 65 years of history, we have shown our commitment to them through, the continuous training and the investments in occupational safety, facilities and processes. We are also aware of the importance of stable and respectful relations not just inside the organism, but as an industrial company we also give a broad outlook to the environment and the natural raw materials, to ensure that these are finite resources. We are well aware of the impact of our activity on all levels: economic, social and environmental. We will therefore continue to implement our philosophy, adapting it to the new times to maintain a suitable comprehensive management system that will guarantee the future.

Jaime Pérez Costa Executive President

FUTURE CHALLENGES

INTERNATIONALISATION Our main goal is to continue consolidating a sustainable business model based on trading with both mature and emerging markets, to enable us to carry out business that is profitable, bidirectional and, above all, stable, as developing loyal clients is key for us. Our business model is therefore focused on mature markets and will be aimed towards studying opportunities and a proactiveness that sets us apart from the rest. In terms of emerging markets, we can focus on each individual region to create an inside market business based on involvement and commitment.

S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y M O D E L

Dallant’s commitment to sustainability goes far beyond the topic of social responsibility. It is one more example of how practice builds theory. We are an industrial company that works with natural raw materials, therefore, with finite resources that must be managed efficiently.

Taking care of the environment and being aware of our decisions are the basic pillars to ensuring the future. Likewise, our desire is to act and grow in a sustainable way that also guarantees

the social, economic and environmental aspects of our business. This goal can only be achieved if we act responsibly, in such a way that we are capable of satisfying the expectations of our stakeholders. In order to do so, the involvement of the entire organisation is fundamental in transferring these goals to our environment.

22


M AT E R I A L I T Y A N A LY S I S The Materiality study consists in identifying the relevant aspects for our stakeholders, as well as for the company, consulting the importance of each one and analysing the results to obtain the indicators that have to be highlighted in the report.

2015 has been a really hard year for the Dallant human team due to the loss of two colleagues who have left a hole that cannot be filled. Thanks to the human and professional talent from Dallant’s team, we have been able to carry on which is what our departed colleagues would have wanted. We are pleased to highlight the reception, formation and development policies, in which we have made a huge effort to improve our reception and formation processes at corporative level over the past year. At the same time, we have intensified the international recruitment policies in the interest of providing the best possible service and proximity to our clients. Finally, we would like to highlight that we have begun developing a Crime Prevention Protocol to strengthen our commitments and values. We would also like to mention that, with regard to the security and safety policies, we have managed to maintain the same standards of recent years as well as launch new programs such as ZERO Risk and 5S.

CASE I: OXFAM TRAIL WALKER Last April, our team Trial Walker Dallant finished the solidary race of 100 km in 22:56:41, earning the position 420 out of the 1,250 teams who participated in the event. OXFAM TRAILWALKER is a solidary race that passes through the green way Olot-Girona-Sant Feliu de Guixols, 100 km = 1 reason. This solidary race raised more than €1 million towards poverty and hunger. Our team collected more than 2,000€ for the cause in 100 km in a cooperative way.

CASE II: ZERO RISK This 2015 has been an exercise of consolidation and effort of our commitment to workplace security. The consolidation of our management system OHSAS 18001, the implementation of the method 5S at the industrial level, as well as the different evaluation tools and the awareness have had a huge impact on our results. Nevertheless, in the interest of improving the impact of some of our safety indicators, we have doubled our efforts with the ZERO RISK campaign.

2/ RESE ARCH, DEVELOPMENT A N D I N N O VAT I O N

Within any organisation, the conscious, methodical and constant search for opportunities is the key to innovate and provide added-value. Truly valid creativity has to be trained and channelled. The systematic approach for innovating requires the culture of innovation to be an inherent part of the whole company. An innovative spirit and attitude are essential to conceive and develop entrepreneurial projects within the organisation, to be later transmitted to the market in a proactive way. On the basis of the trends and new technologies studied, our interdisciplinary working groups develop new products and processes, both at a laboratory and industrial level, until reaching the application in food and drinks for public consumption.

CASE I: OLIVE OIL EMULSION An example of Dallant’s innovation is the creation of the new olive oil emulsion. Olive oil is the main fat product and is essential in the Mediterranean diet. Following the market trends, we have developed an innovative formulation for the creation of a juice with all the benefits of the olive oil and with the key of differentiation. This emulsion is a natural product with a clean label that provides 0.75g olive oil per litre of finished drink.

Our operations network is circumscribed with our management processes at our headquarters. The integration of services and the rationalisation of operations are two constants in this work environment. Operations are understood to be the whole supply chain, manufacturing and auxiliary services of our products. Our customised product development policies, are aligned with the industrial design strategies. Thus, we can be more flexible and adapt to our customer’s needs and respond more quickly and effectively.

The consolidation of our actions expresses our commitment to the operational excellence, to the environment, to health and employees’ welfare, as well as, the territory in which we operate.

CASE I: SOLAR MODULE INSTALLATION

Following our environmental commitment, Dallant can announce that all of its energy consumed is 100% renewable energy, certified by EDP. The objective is to optimise resources and operate within the framework of eco-efficiency. Photovoltaic solar modules were installed at the facilities in Sant Feliu de Llobregat to produce our own energy. During this first stage we can outline that the 5.68% of the used energy is self-produced. Our goal is to optimise the processes of management to improve our sustainability policy.
