GEFCO ARGENTINA: PROCEDURES TO<br />

ENSURE EVERYONE’S SAFETY<br />

At Gefco’s Argentina operations, health,<br />

safety and environmental issues are<br />

handled by a process based on the BVQI<br />

ISO 9000:2000 quality management<br />

system. An independent expert<br />

specialized in industrial safety and health<br />

analyzes every aspect of the business to<br />

detect any anomalies or potential risks,<br />

while assessing the need for personal<br />

protective equipment (PPE).<br />

In addition to measures designed to<br />

guarantee the best possible working<br />

conditions, such as studies to determine<br />

heat load, noise volume and light<br />

intensity, employee training courses have<br />

been organized in such areas as manual<br />

loading, PPE, fires and accident<br />

prevention, forklift operation, and<br />

evacuation and first-aid drills. Medical<br />

examinations are also regularly performed<br />

to prevent and detect any physical<br />

problems due to occupational activities.<br />

enable the disabled to make a contribution<br />

to society, by providing them with job<br />

opportunities and supporting their career<br />

development. In France, the agreement<br />

on jobs for the handicapped signed with<br />

employee representatives on March 17,<br />

2000 demonstrated the Group’s<br />

commitment to pursue programs<br />

underway to hire and retain disabled<br />

employees and to configure workstations<br />

to enable their operation by the<br />

handicapped. These programs are being<br />

implemented in partnership with AGEFIPH,<br />

which manages funds for hiring the<br />

handicapped, and ANACT, the national<br />

agency for improving working conditions.<br />

Disabled workers are involved in the<br />

Group’s automobile manufacturing<br />

business through partnerships between the<br />

production plants and work-based<br />

assistance centers and sheltered workshops.<br />

Worldwide, the Group directly employs<br />

nearly 5,300 disabled people. In France,<br />

including sheltered workers under contract,<br />

9.28% of employees are classified as<br />

handicapped, compared with the legally<br />

required 6%.<br />

PROVIDE COMPENSATION LINKED<br />

TO GROUP EARNINGS AND<br />

ENCOU<strong>RA</strong>GE INDIVIDUALLY-<br />

FUNDED PENSION PLANS<br />

In all businesses worldwide, compensation<br />

policy is designed to offer competitive<br />

compensation and to share value with<br />

those who help create it.<br />

SIGNING WAGE AGREEMENTS IN ALL UNITS<br />

The Group’s wage policy led to the signing<br />

of a large number of agreements in most<br />

countries in 2002. In France, the wage<br />

agreement signed by five unions on January<br />

28 reflected a commitment to raising the<br />

lowest salaries and increasing the annual<br />

guaranteed minimum wage. In 2002,<br />

compensation paid worldwide totalled<br />

€4.466 millions, while employer taxes and<br />

social security contributions amounted to<br />

€1.700 millions. 1.<br />

REWARDING INDIVIDUAL MANAGER<br />

PERFORMANCE<br />

A manager’s compensation depends on<br />

individual performance, the ability to carry<br />

out his or her responsibilities and local<br />

salary levels. Pay for performance reflects<br />

a commitment to ensuring consistency<br />

across the organization while retaining<br />

the possibility of assessing and rewarding<br />

individual achievement. Performancerelated<br />

annual bonuses paid to senior<br />

executives depend on their ability to meet<br />

personal targets, as well as corporate<br />

operating margin and quality targets set<br />

at the beginning of each year.<br />

PMTC SIGNS AN AGREEMENT<br />

WITH AGEFIPH<br />

In 2002, Peugeot Motocycles<br />

initiated an extensive project to<br />

renovate its production facilities in<br />

Mandeure, France. One part of the<br />

project focused on improving<br />

workstation ergonomics and the<br />

employability of persons with<br />

disabilities.<br />

An agreement signed in July with<br />

AGEFIPH will reserve jobs for 30<br />

people certified by a government<br />

commission as handicapped.<br />

AGEFIPH is helping to fund the<br />

workplace audit, the project’s<br />

handicapped-related aspects, and<br />

the reconfiguration of the workstations.<br />

Workstations have been created or<br />

reconfigured on the assembly line, as<br />

well as in the purchasing office and the<br />

preparation room. The process is<br />

continuing in 2003, with the Mandeure<br />

facility employing 80 people certified<br />

by a government commission as<br />

handicapped.<br />

the Transportation and Logistics Division and other businesses,<br />

excluding Sevelnord and Française de Mécanique.<br />
