As regards the practices relating to the provision of transition pro-
grammes designed to support employees about to retire, the Group for
the time being does not provide placement services or support, training
and advice programmes. However, it maintains in effect and applies
specific pension plans. Furthermore, in order to ensure the smooth
succession of retiring employees, succession plans are developed to
identify suitable successors to the positions vacated and to help these
persons adjust smoothly to their new jobs. In addition, the “Talent Man-
agement System” helps identify employees with exceptional capabili-
ties who become candidates for senior management positions. Finally,
in the case of dismissals a compensation is payable in accordance with
the existing legal framework, while in some cases the compensation
actually paid is higher than the statutory one.
