2021 INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND DUE DILIGENCE

Cepsa has developed a human rights impact assessment methodology in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Hu- man Rights, assisted by external advisors.

It includes two key elements: a human rights impact assessment of our own operations and a human rights-focused due diligence investigation of the supply chain. This approach allows us to work in a proactive, consistent and structured way to identify, prevent, mitigate and respond to the adverse human rights outcomes that Cepsa could cause.

Our assessment process began in 2021 by globally identifying country risk relating to Cepsa's activities in certain countries. This information will serve as a starting point to roll out the methodology for assessing impacts on the company's assets in 2022, starting with training workshops for the teams involved in the assessment.

We have a new 'Security Policy and specific rules for security personnel so as to ensure a high level of technical and professional competence, as well as human rights training, a requirement that also applies to our contractors.

We adhere to the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights so as to guarantee secure operations while respecting human rights.

We have maintained the status, as in previous years, of not producing irregular situations or human rights infringements in our operations during 2021.
