Compliance with standards and regulations

Material for Motor Skills

Nathan attaches enormous importance to ensuring that its products are compliant with health and safety standards. We work in close collaboration with independent accredited professional bodies whose role is to confirm the compliance of our products with applicable French and European standards.

Health

The compliance testing of our products is generally performed in two stages: during the product design phase and during the manufacturing phase.

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) is an EU regulation aimed at improving awareness of the chemical substances used in industry in order to restrict their impact on health and the environment. This regulation entered into force on 1 June 2007, but the recording and authorisation procedures are being gradually introduced over a ten-year period. • Our foam modules and mats bear the Oeko-Tex 100 “Confidence in Textiles” label. This internationally recognised label guarantees that the products contain no chemicals harmful to health and skin (formaldehyde, heavy metals, phthalates, benzene, etc.).

Safety All our products covered by European standards bear the CE mark. The CE mark is obligatory for all products subject to one or more European Directives dealing with safety, public health and consumer protection. It appears on the product itself, on the packaging or the supplied documentation.

Toys • European Directive 2009/48/EC on the safety of toys: this new directive entered into force twice on 20 July 2011 for standards EN 71-1 and EN 71-2 (Mechanical and Flammability) and on 20 July 2013 for standard EN 71-3 (Chemicals). All our products classed as toys shall henceforth fully meet the obligations set out in this directive. • European standard EN 71 on the safety of toys: tests on physical properties (stability, shock resistance, fall resistance and traction resistance under the least favourable conditions of use), flammability tests, chemical tests etc. CE compliance statements for our products are available upon request.

Furniture • French standard XP D 60602 and European standard EN 1729 for school furniture: equipment durability and usability, and user body types. • French standard NF D 62050 for school furniture and storage units: stability and rigidity. • European standard EN 1021-1 and 2: flammability of upholstered furniture and seating.

Upholstered furniture and seating • European standard EN 1021-1 and 2: flammability of upholstered furniture and seating.

• French standard NF S 54-300 on Educational Material for Motor Skills: checking solidity, stability and the absence of trapping hazards for children aged between 0 and 12. • French and European standard NF-EN 12503-1-4-5-6 on gym mats.

• Our products comply with European regulations regarding health. • Our products comply with the REACH regulation that imposes manufacturing, trade and usage restrictions applicable to certain substances with the aim of protecting human health and the environment.

We constantly analyse the raw materials listed in the REACH appendix in relevant products in order to guarantee that their levels of azo dyes, phthalates, cadmium and PCP are well within the statutory limits. Azo dyes make up a sizable amount of colourings and are widely used in fabric items. The pigments of azo dyes are chemically produced and can release certain aromatic amines that are deemed to be carcinogenic. Phthalates are regularly used in plastics (especially PVC) to make them flexible. Their use in toys has been drastically reduced in Europe due to their toxicity and the potential environmental impact.

Air quality • Moving forward with our health and environment initiatives, we analyse the formaldehyde levels in our wood-based materials in order to ensure that they are kept to a minimum (E1 classification of our materials). Formaldehyde is a volatile organic compound (VOC) which is harmful to human health. It is a solvent used in many synthetic materials, in particular glues and resins used in wooden panels. Since 2002, the E1 standard has guaranteed strict formaldehyde thresholds. • French Decree No. 2011-1728 of 2 December 2011, concerning the monitoring of air quality in nurseries and infant schools, came into force on 1 January 2015. All the materials we select comply with this regulatory provision.

Nathan and sustainable development Our approach • At Nathan, our commitment to CSR is nothing new. For many years now, our activity and our relations with our partners (suppliers, customers, service providers, employees, public institutions, etc.) have incorporated social, environmental and economic prerogatives.

Today, we are pursuing and intensifying our commitment:

>, :<7769;

- With our official endorsement, in June 2012, of the United Nations Global Compact, the objective of which is to promote 10 universal principles concerning human rights, labour rights, environmental protection and anticorruption. - With the implementation of a Corporate Social and Environmental Steering Committee responsible for its deployment in the company. Our CSR commitment revolves around three principles: - Reducing the impact of our activity on the environment. - Acting to ensure greater equality and fulfilment in the workplace. - Making our business reflect our social commitment.

Preserving the environment Offering sustainable, environmentally-friendly products • Nathan has always been committed to the idea that “socially-responsible” quality is by its very nature made to last: - We are developing products using environmentally-friendly materials and new materials that are harder-wearing and lighter, so as to reduce the impact on the environment and to optimise the serviceable life of our products. - We perform checks at key stages of the manufacturing process in order to guarantee optimal quality and finish. - The woods used in the manufacturing process for our furniture mainly come from environmentally-managed forests

and we are against the use of wood taken from illegal logging.

- Our paper comes from environmentallymanaged forests and is elemental chlorine free (ECF). ECF bleaching has been recognised by the European Commission and the US Environmental Protection Agency as the “best available technology”.

- Depending on the intended use of our materials, we concentrate on environmentally-friendly, water-based paints. These water-soluble paints are guaranteed solvent-free.

Promoting responsible purchasing policies

MITME

- We favour reliable manufacturers and partners who provide excellent quality and are committed to the environment: reduced energy consumption, processing and re-use of waste (wood, paper, gloss paints, etc). - We carefully select our suppliers based on ethical criteria: respect for ILO (International Labour Organisation) conventions regarding forced child labour, respect for basic human rights and inspection of working conditions. Our ICTI (International Council of Toy Industries) certified toy suppliers are subject to inspection audits every year, according to very strict criteria.

Reduced use of packaging and reduced paper consumption - Our boxes and other waste (paper, plastic materials) are all collected and recycled. We have reduced the paper requirements of our catalogues by 30% over 5 years.

Streamlining our logistics and the impact on the environment In an effort to reduce CO2 emissions relating to the transportation of our raw materials and products, we are constantly seeking to optimise our logistics and to reduce our energy consumption. Three priority areas: - Proximity to production locations: over 80% of our production is made in Europe. - Our supplies mainly come using sea freight in order to reduce their carbon footprint. - We provide flat-pack furniture in order to optimise packaging requirements.

Raising awareness of sustainable development among our staff A number of initiatives have been undertaken at Nathan to promote sustainable development in the everyday activities of our employees: - the use of energy-saving lights in our premises - the recycling of office paper, ink cartridges, light bulbs and batteries - the provision of drinking fountains connected to the mains water supply - a purchasing policy favouring ecological products (envelopes, paper, etc.)

Acting as a socially-responsible company • Contributing to think tanks on environmental and social issues Editis-Éditions Nathan is a member of Comité 21, which works in favour of sustainable and fair corporate development. • Acting to respect human rights and rights of the child, especially the basic right to education - Nathan is a partner of Unicef, working to raise awareness among young people of the rights of the child, international solidarity and citizenship. - Nathan is developing special schemes to combat illiteracy and to help the insertion of young people and adults in difficult circumstances into the world of work. • Education about sustainable development Our role as publisher of education resources also creates the responsibility to act alongside children and teachers to raise awareness of “living together” and respect for the environment.

Activity 3: one child asks a question, another child answers.

This workshop has been designed to create two main types of situations: learning situations and game-playing situations. The learning situations place children in activities that involve observation and reasoning based on the association of images, and in activities that involve oral language and communication.

Magnetic Number Line A group toy for children to handle to help them learn the set of numbers from 0 to 31 and carry out daily number-based activities: calendar, counting those present, counting out loud, etc. Children progressively learn to: • memorise the set of numbers; • locate the numbers in relation to each other; • associate the name of numbers with how they are written in digits; • recognise different representations of the number (written digits, ﬁngers, combinations, collections, dominos, dot cards); • count and compare quantities. Depending on the point in the year, the level of the children or the activity carried out, the teacher can decide to display all or part of the line.
