<div>The Group achieves a score of s 94 out of 100 on the 2023 gender equality index* in France. The Group took part in the “Gender Equality Index” (“Index de l’Egalité professionnelle”) – an initiative of the French Government created in 2018 to measure gender equality and improving transparency – which establishes the gender equality index for its employees in France. The Gender Equality Index requires companies with 50 or more employees to calculate their professional gender score by 1 March of every year based on the following 5 indicators:<img data-src="coremedia:///cap/content/103184" data-uritemplate="/caas/v1/media/103184/data/23dada0b624dfa22263d94e618893019/{cropName}/{width}/index-en.jpg" alt="Index_EN"/>Based on the above indicators as defined by the French government, EssilorLuxottica achieved a score of 94 points for the year 2022. This score demonstrates EssilorLuxottica's ongoing commitment to gender equality in France. It also reflects the Company's concrete initiatives to encourage equality between women and men with regards to their careers and remuneration, and in the promotion of work-life balance. To take its commitment further, in October 2022, EssilorLuxottica set up a Global DE&amp;I function to establish the Company’s strategy and goals for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Looking ahead, the function will focus on driving internal and external awareness, building and evolving more inclusive processes, developing clear goals and ensuring diversity of thought. The representation of women within the Group is also increasing: In application of the Rixain law, currently being implemented in France since 2022 to increase access for women to positions of high responsibility by establishing quotas, the Group is also publishing its figures for the full year 2022:<ul><li>61% of women in the overall staff worldwide</li><li>41% of women among the management bodies</li><li>33% of women among senior executives</li></ul><h6>*Index based on Essilor International's perimeter   </h6></div>

<div>Charenton-le-Pont, France and Genoa, Italy (9 March 2023) – EssilorLuxottica, a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of ophthalmic lenses, frames and sunglasses, and ERG, a leading European producer of energy from renewable sources through its subsidiary ERG Power Generation, announced today that they have signed a twelve-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the supply of approximately 900 GWh of green energy between 2023-2034. The agreement is based on the sale by ERG of approximately 75% of the energy produced by its Partinico-Monreale wind farm near Palermo, Italy, the first in the Group's portfolio to complete repowering activities. Following the replacement of the entire facility with latest generation equipment, the wind farm will consist of 10 turbines of 4.2 MW with a total installed power of 42 MW (compared to the previous 19 turbines for a 16 MW installed power) and an estimated annual production of 94GWh (compared to the current 27 GWh). The wind farm is in an advanced stage of construction and will come into operation during the second quarter of 2023. For EssilorLuxottica, this agreement marks an important step towards its objective of becoming carbon neutral in its direct operations (Scope 1 and 2 emissions) by 2025, starting with Europe by the end of the year, as outlined in its “Eyes on the Planet” Sustainability program. Francesco Milleri, Chairman and CEO of EssilorLuxottica commented: “At EssilorLuxottica we envision a better, cleaner future where our planet and people can thrive. As a sign of our long-term commitment in this area, we are proud to announce this strategic partnership with ERG supporting our goal to become carbon neutral in our direct operations and to reduce the impact of our value chain. Through Eyes on the Planet, we are contributing to the global agenda of tackling climate change and protecting our planet for generations to come”. Paolo Merli, Chief Executive Officer of ERG commented: “We are pleased with this agreement, a partnership between two leaders of the Italian industrial context committed to contributing to the decarbonization process through the development and use of renewable energy. The agreement allows us to maximize the value of our first Repowering project in Italy through energy sales mechanisms capable of stabilizing revenues, which are even more important given the current strong volatility scenario”. <a data-href="coremedia:///cap/content/104472" data-show="new">DOWNLOAD THE PRESS RELEASE</a></div>
