Filing of the 2021 Universal Registration Document (URD)

66% of Mersen’s sales identified as “green” under the European Taxonomy
New CSR roadmap through 2025

Paris, March 21, 2022 – Mersen (Euronext FR0000039620 – MRN), a global expert in electrical power and advanced materials, announces that its 2021 Universal Registration Document (French version) has been released and filed in European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) with the French Markets Authority (AMF). It is available on the company’s corporate website and the website of the AMF.

The Group has also published its key performance indicators within the meaning of the European “Green Taxonomy” regulation. They highlight that 66% of Mersen’s sales and 56% of its capital expenditure contribute to climate change mitigation or adaptation¹. This significant share of sales reflects Mersen’s determination to play a role in improving the way we live and protecting the environment and its resources.

In keeping with this vision, the Group is pursuing its CSR commitments. The URD includes a new roadmap laying out the CSR priorities for 2022-2025, following the successful completion of the previous roadmap. These priorities are as follows:

• Reduce the environmental impact of its products and industrial operations. In this respect, the Group is committed to reducing its GHG emissions intensity and its water consumption and to increasing its industrial waste recycling.
• Work with partners already committed to sustainable development or willing to take initiatives in this area. To this end, Mersen will continue its efforts to assess its suppliers and implement improvement plans where necessary.
• Help employees, communities and talent grow while paying the utmost respect to human rights, health and safety, while promoting diversity. The Group has set targets to encourage gender diversity at work and to improve inclusion of people with disabilities, to promote a social responsibility policy for all in all countries and to pursue its efforts to ensure well-being, health and safety at work.
• Inspire confidence in all stakeholders to underpin the Group’s development. For example, Mersen has set training targets for ethics and cybersecurity, in order to develop an exemplary ethics and compliance culture.
