created for the Group s subsidiaries in order to provide them with an action framework, advice and decision-making tools. A team at the Group s headquarters ma- nages the process and assists the subsidiaries with their initiatives. Employees and subsidiaries are also increasingly involved in the Foundation s activities. Thus, wit- hin the framework of the projects led in China and in Chile, Rexel employees participated in project implementation as well as in the follow-up phase.

In 2014, the Rexel Group offered employees at its headquarters the opportunity to support community projects through a voluntary salary donation program. By the end of 2014, one in five employees at the Paris headquarters had chosen to round their salary down to the nearest euro and to offer the remaining cents, or more, to the project of their choice. Rexel Développement, the Group s head- quarters, matches 100% of em- ployee donations.
