To our stakeholders,

When we joined the United Nations Global Compact in August 2017, we probably didn't yet know how much it would contribute to changing not only the way we do business but also our perception of the role we have to play as a responsible company.

It is with great pride that this report allows us to highlight, year after year, the progress we have made and to realize that, no matter how small, in whatever area, they allow us to build a stronger company, one that is more rooted in its time and in its local ecosystems, better equipped to face major upheavals and always ready to accompany major changes, attentive to underlying trends and to all signals.

We have been able to get through the Covid crisis thanks to the commitment of our teams and the attention we have been able to give to each other, to our employees, whose well-being and safety remain our absolute priority, but also to their families whenever possible, and to our customers, partners and all our stakeholders, to whom we have been able to reach out whenever necessary.

For me, this is also the embodiment of our Corporate Social Responsibility.

For the past five years, our commitment has been steadily strengthened and affirmed in all areas covered by the United Nations Global Compact. If for us, in all the countries and jurisdictions where we operate, respecting laws, rules and regulations was a matter of course, pushing our requirements in these areas a little further each day has become a real commitment for each of Linxens' employees.

In 2021, Linxens teams collaborated to develop a new 5-year strategic plan and it became clear to us that responsibility should be one of the five key objectives we set for ourselves. The result is our Vitality program, which is built on five pillars: Compliance, Environment, Markets, Employees and Communities.
In each of these pillars, we will deploy action plans over the next five years that will further strengthen our commitment to ensuring that our activities are conducted in strict compliance, that our operations reduce or eliminate our environmental impact, that we can lead our ecosystems towards a more virtuous and responsible production model, that our employees find within Linxens the respect and dignity they are due, and that we can give back a little of what is given to us to the communities around our various production sites.

Vitality was developed last year, is being rolled out now, and I look forward to presenting the fruits of these commitments to you in our annual report next year.

For now, you will find in this annual communication the details of our actions to continually improve the integration of the Global Compact and its ten principles into our business strategy, culture and daily operations.

Thank you for helping me make Linxens a socially responsible company.

Yours sincerely
Cuong H.DUONG
President & CEO
