8.2 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES THAT MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY’S UTILIZATION OF THE TANGIBLE

The Group considers that its business as a telecommunication operator does not present an environmental risk as
it does not involve any production processes that seriously harm scarce or non-renewable resources, natural
resources (such as water or air), or biodiversity. However, the Group does use certain products and components
that may give rise to environmental risks, albeit on a small scale. In accordance with the specific applicable
regulations, the authorized disposal and destruction of these products and components is entrusted to an external
company with a view to their being recycled.
The Group records a provision for the related recycling costs.
