A WORD FROM FÉLIX BONDUELLE,CHAIRMAN OF PIERRE ET BENOÎT BONDUELLE SAS GENERAL MANAGER OF BONDUELLE SCA
The context
The past fiscal year unfolded in a particularly challenging environment. In addition to the geopolitical and economic tensions that continue to shape the world, we have seen exceptionally severe weather conditions, serving as a stark reminder of the challenges our agriculture and food sectors now face.
In this context, Bonduelle has resolutely continued the transformation it began several years ago. This universal registration document details the progress made during the fiscal year, both in financial and extra-financial terms. It reflects the initiatives we have undertaken to strengthen our group's competitiveness, evolve our offerings, and prepare for the future in a rapidly changing environment.
Driven by a collective spirit and the commitment of all its teams, Bonduelle has achieved new milestones. The deployment of our group-wide transformation program and the achievement of B CorpTM certification for the entire company demonstrate our commitment to building an increasingly robust, coherent, and value-creating model.
Our Mission
Our mission-"Inspire the transition toward a plant-rich diet to contribute to people's well-being and planet health"-remains, now more than ever, our guiding principle. In light of society's growing expectations and the accelerating climate crisis, it gives special meaning to each of our decisions and each of our commitments.
Convinced that plant-rich foods have a vital role to play in the food system of the future, we are continuing our efforts to offer solutions that are ever simpler, more accessible, and more appealing, while supporting the transformation of our production methods and agricultural supply chains.
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our stakeholders for their trust and commitment. Together, we are continuing to build a Bonduelle that is more resilient, more agile, and firmly focused on the future. I hope you find this document informative.

- TRANSFORMING OUR MODEL FOR THE LONG TERM
- Message from Xavier Unkovic,
Chief Executive Officer of the Bonduelle Group
Transforming a century-old company means turning its legacy into a strength to meet the challenges of tomorrow. It means giving it the necessary resources to remain useful, relevant, and a source of value in an increasingly complex environment, while pursuing the goal that has driven us from the very beginning: to make plant-rich food simpler, more accessible, and more appealing.
A necessary transformation in a challenging environment
When we began transforming Bonduelle two years ago, we knew we had to adapt our business model to the profound changes in our operating environment.
The 2025-2026 fiscal year was marked by a series of headwinds: geopolitical instability, economic tensions, cost pressures, as well as particularly challenging agricultural and weather conditions across all our regions.
In this challenging environment, the group reported a current operating income of 79.6 million euros, which does not yet reflect the expected benefits of the transformations underway. While the progress we have made is real, it is taking place in an environment that is disrupting our path toward improved profitability.
Nevertheless, this year confirms that the decisions made were the right ones. We continued to streamline our business portfolio, strengthened our operational discipline, and accelerated the transformation of our operating models to build a more agile Bonduelle-one that is closer to today's consumers and, as a result, more competitive and better equipped to weather uncertainty. The continuation of the group-wide transformation program and the B Corp certification of the entire Bonduelle Group, announced in January 2026, are two major examples of this momentum.
Adapting our offerings to keep pace with changing eating habits
This transformation is also reflected in our ability to better meet consumer expectations.
All over the world, we are developing products that fit naturally into everyday life and meet the diverse expectations of flexitarian consumers.
From complete meals and convenient lunch options to help with meal prep and moments of sharing and conviviality, our goal is to make plant-rich foods more accessible in all their forms without compromising on enjoyment or convenience.
The initial results of this strategy are encouraging. In the United States, Loaded Bowls continue to grow and strengthen our position in the ready-to-eat plant-rich meals market. In Europe, innovations such as "Pasta Poêlée" and other new culinary offerings are gaining popularity among consumers. In Eurasia, growth in the culinary categories also confirms the validity of our strategic direction.
Beyond commercial success, these advances reflect a strong conviction: the growth of the plant-rich sector will depend on solutions that are simple, appealing, and tailored to consumers' actual needs. The transformation of our portfolio is underway.
Strengthening our resilience to build the future
The post-fiscal year climatic events observed during the summer of 2026 highlighted the growing vulnerability of agricultural systems in the face of accelerating climate change. Behind these phenomena lie very concrete realities for growers, local communities, and the entire food supply chain.
10 Universal Registration Document 2025-2026 BONDUELLE
In the face of these challenges, we must continue to work with all stakeholders, from farm to table, to build the resilience of our food systems.
This goal is fully aligned with our mission: inspire the transition toward a plant-rich diet to contribute to people's well-being and planet health. Now more than ever, it serves as our guiding principle and calls on us to accelerate the evolution of our production methods and offer solutions that contribute to a desirable food transition. Our commitment, alongside our agricultural partners, to developing regenerative agriculture is a concrete example of this.
Fiscal year 2026-2027 will continue along these lines. We will resolutely continue the transformation we have begun, while maintaining our investments in our brands, our innovations, and our priority regions.
Transforming a century-old company does not happen in a year, nor is it without obstacles. The turbulence we are currently experiencing does not call our course into question; on the contrary, it underscores its necessity. Building on the commitment of our teams and agricultural partners, and the strength of our brands, we are continuing this transformation with clarity, determination, and confidence in the potential of plants to meet tomorrow's expectations.

- The drivers of our transformation
The 2025-2026 fiscal year was marked by tangible progress on several strategic initiatives designed to strengthen our competitiveness, our impact, and our capacity for innovation in the long term.
TRANSFORM TO WIN: our transformation strategy
The 5 pillars of the transformation strategy
Performance
Strengthening operational excellence to spread a performance culture throughout the Company.
Strong brands and innovation
Developing and leveraging the power of brands to bring healthy and tasty food to the table.
Key geographies
Preparing each of our regions for the challenges of tomorrow, while staying as closely attuned as possible to consumer needs.
Operational excellence
Simplifying our operations and organization for greater efficiency.
Impact strategy
Working with living organisms to strengthen the resilience of our business model.
Reinventing our portfolio and brands
The 2025-2026 fiscal year marked an important milestone in the evolution of our product portfolio and our brands. To support our future growth, we have continued to refocus our offerings on more promising segments, while simplifying our product portfolio. We have also strengthened the quality of our marketing and sales execution to increase the effectiveness of our investments and the impact of our brands. This momentum was reflected, in particular, by the launch in Europe of the "Let good win" communications platform, designed to modernize the Bonduelle brand's image and strengthen its connection with consumers.
Strengthening our ability to execute
This year saw the establishment of the Transformation Office, designed to accelerate the implementation of our strategic priorities through shared governance, precise management of initiatives, and broader engagement of our teams. More than 200 initiatives have been organized around 24 strategic areas to sustainably improve our performance and support our growth trajectory. Our transformation is based on a collective, simple, and rigorous approach.
Accelerating our digital transformation
Digital technology is now a key driver of Bonduelle's transformation. As part of the Transform to Win strategic programs, it helps simplify and automate processes, improve performance management, and enhance data quality and value. A true strategic asset, data is now a major driver of performance, operational efficiency, and the streamlining of our operations.
Implementing our impact strategy
The 2025-2026 fiscal year was marked by the update to our 2030 impact strategy, which is structured around three complementary pillars: Food, Planet, and People. This ambition was reinforced by the award of B Corp certification to the entire group in January 2026, demonstrating our commitment to combining economic value creation, environmental contribution, and social responsibility. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, this strategy translates our ambition into concrete and measurable actions. The associated indicators are therefore regularly reviewed and expanded to ensure they remain aligned with changes in our material challenges, the expectations of our stakeholders, and B Corp standards.

1.In the face of climate challenges, the loss of biodiversity, and growing public health concerns, we are convinced that a diet that puts vegetables and legumes at the center of the plate can help address these challenges1.
Our Mission
Inspire the transition toward a plant-rich diet to contribute to people's well-being and planet health.
7 out of 10 people

The Bonduelle Group's mission directly contributes to six of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals: Zero Hunger (SDG 2), Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3), Decent Work (SDG 8), Responsible Consumption (SDG 12), Climate Action (SDG 13), and Life on Land (SDG 15).
B Corp: a global movement, a call for progress
In 2025-2026, we reached a major milestone with the B Corp certification of 100% of the Bonduelle Group. This recognition reaffirms our commitment to creating value for all of our stakeholders and to making continuous progress on environmental, social, and governance challenges. Through B Corp, we are part of a global movement of companies working to serve people and the natural world.
From materiality to action
Our double materiality analysis has helped us identify the challenges where Bonduelle can have the most significant impact. They focus on access to safe, affordable, and plant-rich foods, as well as high-quality consumer information. They encompass environmental conservation in the face of climate challenges and pressure on natural resources, as well as human and societal challenges related to health, safety, human rights, working conditions, value sharing, and community development. Details on the material challenges and the assessment methodology can be found in Sections 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 of the Sustainability report and Duty of care.
To address these priorities, we have structured our impact strategy around three complementary pillars: Food, Planet and People. Supported by our B Corp certification and grounded in a commitment to continuous improvement, this strategy translates our ambition into concrete and measurable actions. The associated indicators are therefore regularly reviewed and expanded to ensure they remain aligned with changes in our materiality challenges, the expectations of our stakeholders, and B Corp standards.

- Higher-quality, plant-rich food for everyone
Food lies at the intersection of public health, environmental challenges, and consumer empowerment. However, only 1 in 5 adults meets the recommended intake levels for fruits and vegetables1, while nearly 3 out of 4 consumers base their food purchases on the list of ingredients2. To meet these expectations, we develop products in accordance with rigorous quality and nutritional standards, with a commitment to transparency. We are also expanding our plant-rich product offerings to better cater to a wider range of mealtimes and encourage changes in eating habits, with the goal of making plant-rich food more accessible. A need confirmed by consumers: 92% of participants in an OpinionWay study on flexitarianism believe, after one year, that vegetarian meals are a useful way to add variety to their diet3.
Build a relevant portfolio
We develop products-including more prepared foods-that fit naturally into everyday life and meet the diverse expectations of flexitarian consumers, making it easy for everyone to access plant-rich food.

From Loaded Bowls in the United States to Bonduelle's iconic vegetables, and including Globus recipes in Eurasia and Cassegrain in France, our goal is the same everywhere: to make plant-rich food easier to incorporate into everyday life. To meet the diverse needs and expectations of flexitarians, we offer a wide range of plant-rich solutions, from everyday ingredients to meal kits, as well as ready-to-eat recipes and products designed for sharing. Delicious and affordable options that fit naturally into any lifestyle.
Offer products that meet high nutritional standards
Because quality is consumers' top priority, we continue to improve our recipes to offer products that are increasingly simple, with positive nutritional profiles and transparent information for consumers.

AN IMPACT-DRIVEN COMPANY
The Louis Bonduelle Foundation is expanding its efforts to engage younger generations through the Vegetable Garden World Cup, an international educational program developed by the Landestini association. This initiative, carried out in 16 countries, raises students' awareness of food and nature through the creation of educational gardens. In 2025-2026, it enrolled no fewer than 23,351 children in 536 schools, compared with 4,000 children two years earlier. This strong growth demonstrates the program's ability to raise awareness among a growing number of young people about challenges related to food, biodiversity, and sustainable development.
1.Since 2019, we have been helping catering professionals to integrate more plants into their menus via Greenology. We offer online training, hands-on recipes, and face-to-face masterclasses with our culinary advisors. In 2025-2026, 11,869 chefs were trained in plant-rich cuisine.

- Toward more resource-efficient production
Changing our production methods today means taking into account resources that are under pressure and ecosystems that have been weakened. Food accounts for 20 to 30% of the global1 individual carbon footprint, and agriculture accounts for more than 70% of global freshwater withdrawals2. Yet solutions do exist: diversified farming practices-at the heart of regenerative agriculture-can increase biodiversity by 37% to 189% over the long term3. In light of these challenges, we are transforming our practices to adopt a more resilient model. Our climate strategy is based on the Net Zero Initiative (NZI) framework to help reduce our carbon footprint, while our actions are aimed at making our production more resource-efficient.
Climate action
We are taking action both to reduce our emissions and to adapt our operations to the effects of climate change.
Objectives by 2035

68.6% of irrigable surface areas use a decision-support tool for irrigation
31.7% of renewable energy in our energy mix
Climate scenarios help us identify risks in our various areas of operation and at our priority production facilities, so we can develop local adaptation plans. In terms of agricultural sectors, we are implementing regenerative agriculture, adapting our crop varieties, and adjusting our production areas to better cope with the effects of climate change. This approach has led us, in particular, to shift part of our pea crops in France to the more temperate coastal areas.
We are continuing to expand the use of renewable energy at our production facilities. In 2025-2026, they accounted for 31.7% of our energy mix. This initiative is driven in particular by the use of biogas and biomass at our sites, the deployment of solar power systems, and the use of direct purchase agreements for renewable electricity. Thanks to biomass, the French sites in Estrées-Mons and Renescure together prevent the emission of 19,000 metric tons of CO₂ each year.

Together with our farming partners, we are accelerating the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices: cover cropping and reduced tillage, crop rotation diversification, and sustainable management of water, nitrogen, and crop protection products. Their commitment is evaluated using a scoring grid based on research and independent standards. At the same time, we are assessing biodiversity-related challenges at our sites in order to identify our priorities for action.
80% of growers engaged in regenerative agriculture
2025-2026 results
61.1% of growers engaged in regenerative agriculture
Since 2023, the Farm Academy has been supporting our agronomists and growers who are interested in adopting regenerative agriculture practices. The course includes 60 to 120 hours of training.
- A momentum driven by committed employees and partners
Expectations of businesses are changing. Today, 3 out of 4 employees expect their employer to play an active role in health, equity, and inclusion 1, while employees who find meaning in their work are 1.5 times more engaged2. At the same time, 1 in 3 people participates in civic or charitable activities3 every month, illustrating the growing importance of collective engagement. To meet these expectations, we are strengthening our role as a responsible employer by providing a stimulating and meaningful work environment. We are also developing partnerships with growers and local communities.
Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy is based on six priorities: fair pay between women and men, inclusive hiring, equal opportunities in career paths, promoting an inclusive work environment, fostering a corporate culture open to all forms of diversity, and preventing discrimination and inappropriate behavior.
This approach is reflected in concrete actions, including the implementation of an inclusive recruitment process across Europe and the introduction of training programs focused on preventing discrimination. We are also continuing our efforts to promote equity in the workplace, with significant progress, particularly in Portugal, where gender parity has been achieved.
Be a responsible employer
We are committed to ensuring increasingly safe and wellbeing-focused working conditions, with the goal of zero lost-time accidents and the implementation of physical and mental health programs at all our sites. At the same time, we are stepping up our efforts to promote fair pay and inclusion. We firmly believe that the diversity of backgrounds, experiences, cultures, and perspectives is an essential asset for the Company. That is why we are committed to creating an inclusive work environment where everyone is respected, listened to, valued, and has equal opportunities to succeed and grow.

2.Sustainability report and Duty of care
- SUSTAINABILITY REPORT - GENERAL INFORMATION
- Basis for preparation
BP-1 - General basis for preparation of sustainability statements
Scope of consolidation
Bonduelle's sustainability report was prepared in accordance with Article 48i of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD - 2013/34/EU) and EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/852.
The reporting scope is defined on the basis of the financial consolidation scope (see 5.5 Notes to the consolidated financial statements - Note 15 - List of group companies).
As with the financial statements, the reporting of extra-financial data is carried out each year over the fiscal period,
i.e. from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.
Upstream agriculture
For reporting the upstream agricultural data for seasonal crops, Bonduelle uses data from the production harvests carried out during the calendar year preceding reporting. As these activities are mainly located in the Northern Hemisphere, the growing seasons (from sowing to harvesting) are typically in the period from Spring to Fall. As such they cover two fiscal years.
Human resources
The reporting period for Human Resources (HR) data is similar to the fiscal period, except in exceptional cases relating to the local specificities of each country. In France, for example, monthly data for facilities are closed on the 22nd of each month, and data subsequent to that date are integrated into the following period to provide a reporting period of 365 days.
The information reported herein is based on the double materiality analysis, which is detailed in this chapter.
Coverage of the value chain
Bonduelle has defined the main players in its value chain, from upstream to downstream (see 2.1.3 Strategy). The entire value chain is concerned by the double materiality analysis and is therefore covered in this report when it is included in a material IRO1.
Entity-specific sustainability information
Bonduelle has developed additional metrics to the ESRS in order to reflect the impact of its policies, particularly for ESRS E4 - Biodiversity and ecosystems, S2 - Workers in the value chain, and S4 - Consumers and end-users.
BP-2 - Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances
Time horizons
As part of its work on the double materiality analysis and for the preparation of the sustainability report, Bonduelle used the time horizons defined as follows:
- one year for short term;
for up to three years for medium term;
beyond three years for long term.
These time horizons are consistent with strategic internal milestones, in particular a three-year medium-term horizon.
Value chain estimates
Bonduelle took charge of collecting and calculating data for the entire report and for most of its value chain. Assumptions were made about certain metrics.
E1-5 - Energy consumption and mix
The electricity purchased without a guarantee of origin is divided between the three categories (fossil fuel, nuclear and renewable energy) according to the electricity mix of each country recovered via the external source: https://ember-energy.org/.
E1-6 - Scopes 1, 2, 3 and Total GHG2 emissions
A number of assumptions and estimates were used to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions assessment for the three scopes. The most structural assumptions with the greatest impact on the calculation are set out below:
Offices
Emissions relating to offices are calculated on the basis of FTEs and a specific emission factor.
Goods transportation
Emissions relating to inter-site and distribution transportation are calculated based on the most probable theoretical distance, defined with regard to the departure and arrival points.
Warehouses
Emissions relating to warehouse energy consumption are calculated on the basis of the surface area and a specific emission factor.
Consumers
Emissions are based on sales volumes, usage modeling (retail and home), and a custom emission factor.
Consumer food waste
Emissions are based on production volumes associated with estimated loss ratios.
Franchises
This category includes products sold under brand license by third parties. We indicate emissions estimates (historically in Scopes 1 and 2) in proportion to the turnover of products sold under franchise (in Scope 3.14).
Packaging emission factor - Bonduelle Americas
The packaging emission factors used for the USA are based on French and European factors. This working assumption is similar across all reporting years.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT - GENERAL INFORMATION
Associates
This category includes associates. Estimates are made for the Nortera entity, whose GHG emissions are calculated by applying an economic intensity ratio to turnover based on the Bonduelle Group's participation rate.
Sources of uncertainty related to data projections
Bonduelle does not use projected information to calculate its metrics.
For the double materiality analysis, when necessary, Bonduelle used qualitative data to establish the scores for impacts, risks and opportunities.
Adjustment of comparative information
"Committed to Bonduelle" policy
The definition of our metric on regenerative agriculture in our agronomic roadmap has been updated to better reflect the impact and performance of our action.
- Growers engaged in regenerative agriculture
→ 2024-2025 historical data: 59.3%
→ 2024-2025 updated data: 57.6%
Food Policy
Bonduelle has updated the calculation of the Nutri-Score indicator in order to monitor the evolution of the algorithm.
- % of products assessed as Nutri-Score A or B
→ 2024-2025 historical data: 98.8%
→ 2024-2025 updated data: 91.9%
Decarbonization policy
The carbon emissions data presented in E1-6 are subject to regular annual updates due to the continuous improvement of calculation methods, changes in emission factors and the comprehensiveness of carbon emissions.
These methodological effects are reflected over the base year, the year 2025-2026 and the previous year 2024-2025. The comparability between these years is therefore guaranteed (see E1-4 and E1-6 for the comparative analysis of 2025-2026 performance). The main updates that have had an impact are:
Continuous reliability of the comprehensiveness of scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Methodological changes:
→ Packaging: addition of supplier-specific emission factors and addition of emissions related to the use of energy in the manufacture of packaging;
→ Consumer waste: addition of emissions related to organic waste.
Update of emission factors:
→ Nitrogen fertilizer application;
2.
→ Mushroom cultivation;
→ Market-based electricity purchasing;
→ Overall review of energy-related emission factors.
The cumulative impact adjusted our carbon footprint for the previous year 2024-2025 by a total of 185,169 teqCO2, i.e. 13.2%. As a reminder, in 2024-2025, the group's carbon emissions (in the scope of continued operations) were calculated as follows:
Scope 1: 98,752 teqCO2;
Scope 2 (location based): 29,722 teqCO2;
Scope 2 (market based): 29,326 teqCO2;
Scope 3: 1,272,926 teqCO2.
Reporting errors in prior periods
E1-4 and E1-6: Adjustment cited above related to continuous improvement of carbon emission comprehensiveness;
E3-3 - Water and marine resource targets: the change in water intensity (m3/tonne of finished product) for 2024-2025 versus 2019-2020 has been corrected and amounts to 0.1% instead of the -10% reported last year.
No other revisions have been made in this report to the calculation methodology in relation to potential errors in prior periods.
Publication of information from other legislative acts or sustainability information standards
This sustainability report meets the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union of June 18, 2020 (known as the Taxonomy Regulation) establishing a framework to facilitate sustainable investment.
It also refers to French law No. 2016-1691 of December 9, 2016 on transparency, the fight against corruption and the modernization of economic life, known as the "Sapin II" law, in particular its requirement in terms of a whistleblowing system, as well as law No. 2017-399 of March 27, 2017 on the duty of care of parent companies and contracting companies.
In addition, in order to meet the expectations of certain ESG analysts and non-financial rating agencies, in Section 2.6 the group publishes certain additional sustainability information that does not relate to matters deemed to be material within the meaning of the double materiality analysis validated in March 2026. This additional information is provided for the purposes of transparency and sectoral comparability.

Bonduelle has chosen not to publish information related to transitional provisions as listed in Appendix C of ESRS 1. This includes in particular items related to the publication of financial information and sustainability policies.
Limits on the publication of sustainability information
Despite reasonable efforts, Bonduelle has not been able to report on all the provisions required by the CSRD. Below is the list of unpublished items for this 2025-2026 report:
E2-5 - Substances of concern and substances of very high concern: consolidation of quantities of substances of concern is not available;
E2-4 - Water and soil pollution: Bonduelle is studying the relevance of an additional indicator to account for the effectiveness of its effluent treatment systems and the evolution of its footprint on the quality of the receiving environments (water pollution);
E3-4 - Water consumption: quantitative data on water reuse and water consumption are not available. At this stage, Bonduelle publishes quantitative data on water withdrawal;
S1-14 - Health and safety metrics: the metric on work-related ill health is currently reported on a scope limited to France, and does not strictly comply with the CSRD requirement. The consolidation of this metric at group level requires the harmonization of data collection systems;
S1-16 - Pay metrics indicators (pay gap and total compensation): the metric covers 71% of Bonduelle employees. Bonduelle does not have the consolidation tools to fully meet the CSRD requirements.

2.
By way of introduction, it should be noted that information relating to the group's governance is presented in this section. Some information, such as the composition of the bodies and the expertise and skills of members, are described in more detail in Chapter 3 on corporate governance. This chapter also includes the information required by the Afep-Medef Code, according to the "comply or explain" principle, including in particular details on the CSR Committee. Cross-references are therefore made several times.
GOV-1 - The role of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies
The Bonduelle Group is made up of several companies, direct and indirect subsidiaries structured around two holding companies:
the parent company, Bonduelle SCA, brings together the highest governance bodies, namely the General Management and the Supervisory Board, from which the Audit Committee is drawn. The group's employees are represented on the Supervisory Board by one member elected by the group Works Council;
Bonduelle SA, the operational holding company, brings together the Board of Directors (from which the CSR Committee and the Compensation Committee are drawn), the Chief Executive Officer and the GELT1.
These various bodies form the group's administrative, management and supervisory bodies, whose sustainability governance is structured as follows:

2.Sustainability report and Duty of care
Composition, expertise and skills
The composition of the governing bodies, namely the Supervisory Board, the Board of Directors, as well as the committees drawn from these bodies, and the GELT, is presented in Part 3.1.
The experience, expertise and skills of the members of the Supervisory Board, particularly in terms of sustainability, are presented in their professional careers in Part 3.2.
Appointments to governance bodies are based on a combination of several criteria including skills, expertise, experience, diversity, as well as appetite for and understanding of sustainability challenges. This approach responds to Bonduelle's interests in relation to its activities, its locations and the challenges specific to its sector.
The composition of the CSR Committee promotes the sharing of information, skills and best practices between the various governance bodies, thus contributing to collectively strengthening the expertise of these bodies and collective decision-making in terms of sustainability.
During the year, several meetings were organized within each governance body, related to their respective roles and responsibilities. These made it possible to present and share information and, where relevant, validate the work relating to the double materiality matrix. The members of the Supervisory Board took part in a training session in August 2025 aimed at strengthening skills and understanding of the challenges arising from the CSRD Directive, particularly in terms of governance, non-financial reporting and supervision.
Diversity | ||
As of June 30, 2026, the gender breakdown of governance bodies was as follows: | ||
Number | Percentage | |
SUPERVISORY BOARD (INCLUDING MEMBER REPRESENTING EMPLOYEES)1 | ||
Men | 4 | 44% |
Women SUPERVISORY BOARD (EXCLUDING MEMBER REPRESENTING EMPLOYEES) | 5 | 56% |

Men | 7 | 64% |
Women GELT3 | 4 | 36% |
Men | 6 | 67% |
Women | 3 | 33% |
The members of the Supervisory Board are not executive members. The independence of the members is described in Section 3.2.2. As specified in Section 3.3.2, a diversity policy is applicable within the Supervisory Board, and is described in its rules of procedure, available on the https://www.bonduelle.com website. For bodies composed of eight people or fewer, parity is considered to be respected as long as the difference between the number of women and men does not exceed two.
Members of the Board of Directors are non-executive members. The independence of members of the Board of Directors is described in Section 3.1.4. Bonduelle SA is not subject to the provisions of the French Commercial Code relating to gender parity.
Members of the GELT are executive members.
Roles and responsibilities of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies
The overall duties of Bonduelle's various administrative, management and supervisory bodies are described in Part
A focus on the work of the Supervisory Board and Audit Committee is presented in Section 3.3.2.
As part of the group's sustainability governance, the administrative and management bodies are involved at different levels (see diagram above). In addition to these
bodies, other bodies, committees and operational departments also participate in the development, validation and implementation of sustainability approaches. The table below presents the role and responsibilities of each player involved in the various stages of CSR management, in accordance with applicable regulations and the group's internal organization.
