Corporate governance is at the heart of our management policies and business processes at CAST. It translates our commitment to establish long-lasting and trustworthy relationships with our stockholders, customers, partners and employees.

Consequently, we constantly strive to implement corporate governance best practices:

• our internal control team ensures that everyone complies with our rules;
• we unceasingly seek to disseminate relevant, reliable and increasingly more transparent information to investors;
• in a context of constant evolution of the accounting, legal and tax rules, we dedicate resources to apprehend, analyze and communicate the possible impacts of these changes on our operations.

I am convinced that our focus on good corporate governance is a major asset contributing to the development and the success of our company.
