Strategy and Policies

We understand the impact our company can have on the environment and the community and climate change has become a major global concern. It is everyone’s responsibility, company or individual, to help preserve and create a better, safer and cleaner world, a friendly place to live and work. We are aware that the correct approach is to act preventively, before certain critical, perhaps even irreversible, thresholds are reached.

The application of sustainability practices places us among the top companies that demonstrate relevant concerns on issues such as increasing the quality of life, protecting ecosystems, conserving natural resources, all of which are the result of the correct implementation of sustainability actions.

Applicable policies

We place a major emphasis on issues of material importance to both Autonom and stakeholders. Our aim is to provide products/processes/services that are completely safe for both the human factor and the environment, while meeting the requirements of our customers.

At the heart of our concerns is permanently:

• The quality of services offered to our customers, in order to increase trust and their satisfaction,
• The person who has the right to a healthy life in an appropriate environment and
• The environment and natural resources which must be protected and exploited as effectively as possible.

Thus, to support our commitment to customers, employees and the environment, the organization implemented in 2021 an Integrated Policy in the areas of Quality - Environmental protection - Occupational health and safety, that can be accessed at the following Link https://www.autonom.com/integrated-policy, attesting that the management system complies with the standards:

• • ISO 9001:2015 “Quality Management System”,
  • ISO 14001:2015 “Environmental Management System”,
  • ISO 45001: 2018 “Occupational Health and Safety”.

To meet the requirements of our partners and to achieve economic performance, we are committed to periodically reviewing our quality – environmental protection – occupational health and safety policy to ensure that it is always appropriate to the realities of the organization.

General objectives are:

• To continuously improve the integrated management system – environmental protection, occupational health and safety;
• To increase customer confidence and satisfaction;
• To improve the occupational health and safety performance, reducing the risk of accidents and occupational diseases for all persons involved in the work process, identifying, monitoring activities with particular and imminent danger;
• To qualify, train and improve the level of professional training of staff, to know, apply and comply with the occupational health and safety provisions contained in the integrated management document, the legal requirements in force and those contained in the projects and technologies adopted;
• To improve the management of natural resources, sustained use of renewable resources, reduction of negative environmental impacts and waste generation, and responsible and safe waste disposal;
• To promote an open and continuous dialogue with stakeholders;
• To support public initiatives and government programs aimed at environmental protection and occupational health and safety.

Action plans established:

• Training of QMS (Quality Management System) personnel
• Development and submission of customer satisfaction evaluation questionnaires;
• Provision of qualified staff for OSH (Occupational Health and Safety);
• Improving emergency response capacity.

Given the high exposure of drivers in our divisions to traffic hazards, our focus has been maintained on the rules of safe driving behavior. We organize an internal preventive driving course, which is voluntary for all employees but compulsory for those who have been involved in a road accident and must be repeated annually.

VMS (Vehicle Management Systems SRL) company, part of the Autonom group, that offers passenger transport services and chauffeur car rental, has obtained the ISO 39001: 2012 – Road safety management. As a result, targets and performance factors for road safety were set and monitored. For example, a driver selection and motivation process, route planning, a permitted number of driving hours, driving speed, technical condition of vehicles, driver awareness, training and physical condition, rules on wearing seat belts, recommended driving behavior in traffic or protective equipment depending on the vehicles used have been implemented.

Alignment to financial reporting standards, policies, auditing

The integrated quality – environmental protection – health and operational safety management system provides a beneficial framework for the conduct of business. In addition to this, the main flows are monitored and audited internally on a regular basis.

We place great emphasis on transparency in financial reporting and follow closely the international standards in force. We conduct regular external financial audits, supported by an external third party company.

In December, Autonom launched on the Bucharest Stock Exchange the first corporate bond program in Romania and attracted in the inaugural tranche investments of €48.03 million, the largest corporate bond issuance by a Romanian entrepreneurial company and the first Sustainability-Linked Bonds issuance on the local market. A significant part of the capital attracted will be used for investment in the transition to green fleets, a key element for the company’s sustainable development.

The success of the AUT26E corporate bond issue is complemented by the receipt from Fitch Ratings of the ‘B(EXP)/RR5’ senior unsecured credit rating assigned to Autonom’s entire proposed bond issuance program.

The Autonom Services S.A. corporate bonds were admitted to trading on the Main Market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, bond segment, on the 8^th of December 2021 and are traded under the symbol AUT26E, with a nominal value of EUR 10,000, maturity of five years and a fixed interest rate of 4.11%, payable annually, adjustable according to the step-up mechanism by 0.30 percentage points in case of failure to meet the sustainability performance targets detailed in the PROSPECTUS. https://www.autonom.com/assets/uploads/investitori/Autonom%20Services%20Final%20Terms%20SLB%20Bonds%2019.11.2021.pdf
