2021 INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS ON OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Occupational safety and health has a prominent place in the shaping of working conditions in collective agreements. The company and workers' representatives take steps to foster a culture of prevention and promote healthy habits and environments.

Regular monitoring of the health status of professionals is also prioritised in collective agreements. In 2021, with the constraints posed by the pandemic, actions aimed primarily at managing emotions in line with psychosocial risks have been reinforced.

Finally, these agreements establish the Health and Safety Committees as the competent bodies for consultation on the company's actions in this area.

Employees covered by collective agreements

2.8.4 Industrial relations Our 'Human Rights Policy' recognises the importance of respecting the right to freedom of association and participation of workers representatives as one of the fundamental principles of our relationship with employees. Social dialogue and collective bargaining are the preferred approaches when shaping and developing working conditions at Cepsa.

The Human Resources Department ensures that employees representatives are elected properly, providing the necessary means and showing its support at all times in an agile and coordinated manner.

Through social dialogue and collective bargaining, we establish working conditions that reflect the reality of each post, which allows us to assure a flexible and integrated labour relations framework, with a high level of coordination and participation of trade union organisations and workers' legal representatives.

We have a majority of our own collective bargaining agreements, negotiated with partners directly chosen by our professionals, as a way of adapting working conditions to our culture and to the particularities of the activity.

The Group s I Partial Collective Bargaining Agreement, which covers eleven companies located in different parts of Spain, and the II Refining Collective Bargaining Agreement, which brings our refineries together into a single labour framework, stand out for their relevance and impact in recent years.
