RESPONSIBLE PROGRESS TO SUPPORT 5 MEGATRENDS In the framework of its 2025 Strategic Direction, Bureau Veritas carried out an in-depth study of its ecosystem and identified 5 structural trends. The impact and responsibility of businesses emerged as a theme common to all of them. In 2022, these trends intensified, demonstrating the enduring relevance of BV’s approach, whose ambition to contribute to responsible progress is proving over more relevant. RISING POPULATION Demographic growth and urbanization: how does Bureau Veritas’ expertise contribute to sustainable cities? “Global demographic growth is leading to rapid urbanization in many parts of the world. We now need to make choices in response to new expectations for quality, safety, well-being and Sustainability. Infrastructure must perform better, impact the environment less and be more connected and energy efficient. All of these factors should make cities places of responsible progress. At Bureau Veritas, we offer unparalleled know-how and expertise in all of these areas.” ADRIAN LO — Country Chief Executive, CIF Singapore COMPLEXITY OF SUPPLY CHAINS Supply chains are facing considerable challenges: how is Bureau Veritas helping its clients become more resilient? “Today, all signs point to the same conclusion: supply chains, which have recently experienced heavy disruption, need to reinvent themselves. Factors such as the rise of trade protectionism, mismatches between supply and demand, soaring raw materials prices, the carbon impact of shipping and lockdowns have threatened established models. Organizations need the flexibility to adapt to meet two key challenges. First, supply chains must be shortened and simplified, and shorter distribution circuits must be developed to be as close as possible to the end market. Secondly, new expectations must be fulfilled in terms of transparency on the sourcing, quality, social impact and environmental impact of products. In both of these areas, BV is a key partner.” IMEN CHAIEB — Supply Chain Specialist 21TROPER DETARGETNI 2202
