PRESS RELEASE –

Wendel wins the 2021 Grand Prix de la
Transparence, all categories
Conducted every year by an independent advisory
committee, the corporate transparency awards cover the 4 key public
information documents published by SBF 120 companies organized
under French law. The methodology is based on four pillars:
accessibility, accuracy, comparability and availability of
information.
Each year, these awards enable issuers to
measure their performance with regard to transparency and to
identify the market’s best practices.
After having been ranked at the fourth position
in 2020, Wendel SE has been awarded yesterday the 2021 Grand Prix
de la Transparence award, for all categories.
This award places Wendel at the top of all SBF
120 companies for the quality and transparency of all its financial
and non-financial communications practices, and also rewards the
deployment and the information provided on its ESG strategy.Wendel
was also nominated in the Ethics Charter and for the Extra
financial information Grand Prize awards categories.
The constant attention and improvements brought
into the documents provided to investors and all stakeholders
(Universal Registration Document, invitation to the Annual General
Meeting of shareholders, website, code of ethics and ESG
information) resulted in Wendel earning again this year the "Gold"
label, attributed to companies that have obtained a transparency
rating more than 30% higher than the average of all SBF 120
companies.
Jérôme Michiels, Executive Vice-President and
CFO of Wendel SE, said: “Wendel is very proud to receive the 2021
Grand Prix de la Transparence award, all categories. The Grand Prix
is a tangible recognition of the collective effort and expertise of
our entire corporate team. It rewards the efforts Wendel has
devoted to offering our shareholders and investors a set of
documents and information media that meet the highest standards in
financial and extra financial communication.”
About the Grands Prix:
For the last 12 years, the Grands Prix de la
Transparence, certified by Bureau Veritas Certification, has
rewarded the quality of regulatory information published by SPF 120
companies organized under French law. This not-for-profit event is
free of charge and open to all issuers. The objective is to enable
issuers to measure their performance every year in terms of
transparency, identify best practices and showcase them as examples
of excellence. Every year, the quality demanded increases but the
purpose behind the Grands Prix remains the same: transparency
creates trust and, as a result, value for companies and their
stakeholders. The Transparency Awards have now existed for three
years in the United States. Winners of the initial editions have
included Coca-Cola, GE and BlackRock.
The Grands Prix de la Transparence have been
organized since 2009 by Labrador at its own expense. Labrador is an
expert in corporate information education, and has the support of
numerous market institutions and associations: the Association
française de gestion financière (AFG), Euronext, the Fédération des
investisseurs individuels et des clubs d’investissement (F2iC), the
Institut français des administrateurs (IFA), Paris Europlace, the
Société française des analystes financiers (SFAF) and others. They
form an advisory committee representing all the major readers of
corporate information and guaranteeing the independence and
objectivity of the Grands Prix.
The methodology is certified by an independent
third party, and the group of companies evaluated remains stable;
there is no application process.
