Consultative committee

The Individual Shareholders' Consultative Committee was created in 1995. It is designed to:

• improve the Group's financial communications with individual shareholders,
• engage with shareholders and be attentive to their expectations,
• inform and educate individual shareholders.

The Committee meets an average of 3 times a year (2 plenary sessions with the chairman and CEO Bruno Lafont and 1 site visit). In particular, it is consulted during the preparation of the Annual General Meeting and shareholder publications.

The Individual Shareholders' Consultative Committee (CCAI) has 12 members representing the different types of Lafarge shareholder and their geographical locations.
One of the positions is reserved for a representative of the individual shareholders' association, the ANAF (French National Shareholders' Association). This position is currently held by Didier de Lavergnolle. The remaining 11 members are nominated by Lafarge following a call for applications.
