MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

Dearstakeholders,

2020, has been a year of learning and change. A year like no other we have experienced so far, with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) causing an unprecedented impact around the globe.

One thing that this pandemic has revealed, is the importance of technology as part of our everyday lives. Our efforts were concentrated in remaining true to our core values and mission and continue pursuing our goalsto meet our stakeholders' evolving needs.

Sustainability is not only what our stakeholders expect, it is a lever that improves our performance and it is vital for our existence and prosperity. Although we have made progress in advancing our sustainability goals, this year's challenges have accentuated the importance of sustainability and the need to accelerate our efforts.

We continually strive to improve as an organization and our growth is propelled by our employees. We foster diversity and we seek to enrich our workforce across our geography to ensure that we better represent the communities we serve. Nonetheless, what absorbed us this year, was maintaining our employees' health and wellbeing during the pandemic and thus, a preparedness and response plan was developed to help guide protective actions againstthe pandemic.

As we adapted to the challenges of the pandemic, we sought to engage our stakeholders to understand their perspectives and their expectations. Ongoing dialogue with our stakeholders is an integral part of our strategy and in the next pages we share with you the details of our sustainability strategy and the goals set that will lead to the achievement of our shared vision.

Our commitment to invest in youth and to provide inspiration and opportunity to the next generation was demonstrated through the Logicom Academic merit scholarships program and thisinitiative was awarded as one of the best CSR practices applied by organisationsin Cyprus.

This report highlights our deep commitment to advancing our corporate sustainability strategy and while we cannot entirely shield our communities from what happens in the world, we will continue to pursue evolution and change that will create a more sustainable future for all. (GRI 102-14)

EVALUATION OF LOGICOM'S PERFORMANCE

For the purposes of this CSR report, Logicom Group has adopted the guidelines of the ISO 26000 standard (which have been verified by an independent third-party) and is conforming its reporting to the GRI Standards. ISO 26000 identifies seven core subjects as integral for managing an organisation's impact in the context of corporate social responsibility. These seven core subjects are outlined in Figure 6 below. Each core subject covers a number of subsequent issues of interest(41) and key considerations(313).

Figure 6: ISO 26000 Core Subjects

To determine the status of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at Logicom Group, a gap analysis was undertaken initially, followed by a materiality assessment to identify the areas ofsocial responsibility focus. Both the gap analysis and the materiality assessment considered all seven core subjects of ISO 26000, including all the issues of interest and key considerations under each core subject. A sustainability management software solution was used to undertake the gap analysis and toproduce the materialityassessment.

The aim of the gap analysis was to determine the current status of CSR at Logicom Group with reference to, and as defined by ISO 26000, in order to comply with the standard and relevant national and international legislation, including the EU Directive 2014/95/EU on non-financial and diversity information by certain large undertakings and groups (transposed into the Company Law Chapter 113 (Ν. 51 (I)/2017) in Cyprus). The Group performs a gap analysis every three years which forms the basis of the CSR strategy. Accordingly, following the gap analysis that was performed in 2017, which wasthe base year, a revised gapanalysis was performed during the year.

The aim of the materiality assessment was to identify Logicom's material (or most important) issues in order to be in a position to re-evaluate its current CSR Strategy, considering the views of its internal and external stakeholders, through their engagement.

Therefore, the following three core subjects are the action areas that Logicom will focus on, in forming its CSR strategy and sustainability report for the following 12 months. (GRI 102-47)

ACTION AREAS AS IDENTIFIED BY BASE YEAR MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT

Organizational Governance Labour Practices Consumer Issues

ACTION AREAS AS IDENTIFIED BY 2020 MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT

Organizational Governance Labour Practices Human Rights

The following core subjects were distinguished as areas of lower priority. These areas are not addressed separately in the CSR strategy, howeverthey still form part of theGroup's overall strategy.

AREAS OF LOWER PRIORITY (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)

Environment Fair operating practices

Community involvement and development

SUMMARY OF THE EVALUATION PROCESS

1. DETERMINING THE SCOPE OF THE EVALUATION

Logicom has three divisions (Distribution, Services and Investments). Details of all Group entities are included in the annual Report and Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, and are published on the Logicom Group's website. For the purposes of this materiality assessment, the companies in scope are found at https://www.logicom.net/about-us/group-structure/;the Investmentssectoris excluded. (GRI 102-45)

2. OUTCOMES OF THE GAP ANALYSIS FOR THE LOGICOM GROUP

As evidenced by the gap analysis, the culture and character that has been developed within the Group, stipulates the strong commitment to social responsibility initiatives. An exemplary number of formal procedures and policies are currently in place which proves that actions have been taken in the context of corporate responsibility and effort has been made to improve and maintain the Group's high performance in relation to social reporting and its corporate social responsibilities.

From a strategic perspective, the 2020 gap analysis revealed that Logicom has demonstrated significant efforts in fully realizing and defining what it wantsthe sustainability journey it has embarked on to look like.

Moving the company from having a reactive approach to CSR to a more strategic and proactive approach with a wider perspective on sustainable development, will ensure that the success enjoyed by Logicom so far continues, and that it fosters a win-win relationship with society and the wider communitiesit operates within. This will help Logicom enter the next stage of CSR in a smooth and effective manner.

3. IDENTIFYING LOGICOM GROUP'S STAKEHOLDERS

In order for Logicom to identify its most important stakeholders with whom to engage for the purpose of the materiality assessment, the factorsthat were takeninto consideration were:

  • to whom it haslegalobligations
  • who can be affected by its decisions and activitiesthroughoutits value chain
  • who would be disadvantagedif excluded from the engagement and
  • who is likely to express concerns about Logicom'sdecisions and activities.

The types of stakeholders identified as important to engage with for the purposes of social responsibility are shown in Figure 7. (GRI 102-40) The internal stakeholders are the members of the Board of Directors and the Employees. All the rest are considered as externalstakeholders.

Figure 7: Logicom'smost important stakeholders

The identification and selection of stakeholders with whom to engage was the result of a workshop attended by representatives of Logicom's employees from all areas of operations. Each group of employees from different departments were requested to map their stakeholders in order to produce a list with the significant stakeholders' groupsthat affect and are affected by the company's operations. Moreover, each group of stakeholders was classified in three different classes of importance depending on how critical the stakeholder group is perceived for the company's operations. (GRI 102-42)

As part of Logicom's CSR strategy, the majority of the identified stakeholders are engaged once per year through surveys circulated aiming to understand how they perceive Logicom and what expectations they currently have towards its business. The customers are engaged more often through customer satisfaction surveys. The material areas defined by the stakeholders are discussed in the next paragraph. (GRI 102-43).

4. STAKEHOLDERS' ENGAGEMENT FOR THE DETERMINATION OF AREAS OF FOCUS

(GRI 103-01)

The stakeholder engagement for 2020 was achieved through a web-based survey. Due to the restrictionsimposed by the pandemic of COVID-19, the Group considered the web-based survey to be the safest alternative to stakeholders' engagement events which require physical attendance. The survey focused on materiality assessment, by ranking the ISO core subjects in order of importance, with the aim to evaluate Logicom's material focus areas based on which issues the stakeholders considered relevant and significant to Logicom, and assist Logicom in this way to revise its sustainability strategyaccordingly. The results of the materialityassessment are presented below.

In addition to the set of questions aimed at gathering the relevant information for generating the materiality matrices, additional means were employed in the surveys which addressed adjacent matters regarding Logicom's social responsibility. The additional questions of the survey aimed at determining stakeholders' perception of how socially responsible Logicom currently is. The results are discussed in section "CSR Strategyand roadmap", page 43.

The stakeholders were distinguished in two categories, internal and external, fortaking partin the survey.

4a. Internal Stakeholders Engagement: Web-based survey

The Board of Directors and the employees of the Group were identified as the internal stakeholders.

A total of 72 internal stakeholders were requested to complete the survey. The sample was designed to include nonexecutive directors, a number of employees whose views were considered in the base year assessment and extending the sample further, other employees from different departments of operation were also included. The aim of the survey wasto assess whether the internal stakeholders are aware of Logicom's current CSR activities and commitments and give their views in regards to the areas that they deem as material for Logicom to focus on. The internal stakeholders concluded on the following ranking of the core subjects:

    1. Labour practices;
    1. Organizational governance;
    1. Human rights;
    1. Environment;
    1. Fair operating practices;
    1. Consumer issues; and
    1. Community involvement and development.

4b. External Stakeholders Engagement: Stakeholder engagement event workshop

A total of 192 external stakeholders were invited to complete the survey. The survey link was circulated via personalised emails. The sample included stakeholders whose views shaped the material areas of focus at the base year as well as stakeholders who were contacted for the first time. The aim of the survey was to understand how they perceive Logicom and what expectationsthey currently have towards Logicom's CSR strategy and action plan. The core subjects were ranked in order of importance aslisted below:

    1. Labour practices;
    1. Organizational governance;
    1. Human rights;
    1. Environment;
    1. Fair operating practices;
    1. Consumer issues; and
    1. Community involvement and development;

(GRI 102-44)

The surveys' response rate reached 30,3%.

5. OUTCOMES OF THE MATERIALITY ASSEMENT FOR THE LOGICOM GROUP

The three core subjects, which were considered to be highly relevant by both the internal and the external stakeholders are the priority areasthat Logicomhas chosen to focus on for its CSR strategyandCSR / Sustainability report. These are:

    1. OrganisationGovernance;
    1. Labour practices; and
    1. Human Rights

It is evident from the above procedure that the stakeholders continue to value this year, the same three core subjects of Organizational governance, Labour practicesand Humanrightsto be of high relevance and importance.

Community involvement and development was ranked at the lowest levels of importance by both groups. Compared to the early yearsresults where this subject wasranked amongst the top 4 core subjects by external stakeholders, it shows thatthey now, have a better understanding of what CSR is and that they no longer view it asjust community of charitable events but as something more important. This proves that Logicom has made significant progress in educating its stakeholdersin thissubject.

Similarly, the topics of 'The Environment' and 'Consumer Issues' are deemed by the stakeholdersto be of low importance to the Group, as the effect of its operations do not have a significant direct impact on the Environment and for the Consumer issues a possible explanation is, that this subject is sufficiently addressed by the company at the moment, as this appeared in the base year'smaterialitymatrix and the Group is already taking action on its effect.

The materiality matrix derived for Logicom Group is shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9 below shows how the materiality assessment of the ISO 26000 core subjects by the external stakeholders is compared to the materiality assessment by the internal stakeholders. This materiality matrix will form the basis of Logicom'sCSR strategy.

Figure 9: Materiality Matrix for Logicom for 2020

Logicom intendsto focus on raising awareness on these three core subjects: Organizational Governance, Labour Practices and Human Rights, which were selected as being highly relevant to both its internal and external stakeholders and educate itsstakeholders regarding CSR more widely.

Having identified the top three ranking Core Subjects, the organisation's priorities were assessed at the level of Issues of Interest for each of the Core Subjects. In this way, the internal and external stakeholders' views were determined to greater detail and accuracy.

Main outcomesfrom the materialitymatrix of Issues of Interest:

18 issues of interest fall under the areas of high concern, as shown in page 31. Out of these, 13 issues of interest were identified to be of a medium or high relevance to both internal and external stakeholders, as shown in Figure 9. This implies total agreement between internal and external stakeholders on these issues. No issues of interest were determined to be of low priority currently for Logicom.

As a result of the procedure discussed above and the material areasthat this procedure has highlighted, the scope of this report remains unchanged compared to prior year. Consumer issues will remain as an area of focus since this core subject was taken into consideration when forming Logicom's CSR strategy in the base year and the Management considers it would be prudent to continue its efforts towards the achievement of the goals set. (Logicom does not deal with consumers directly. The term "consumer" refers to those individuals or groups that make use of the output of the organizationdecisions and activities.)

CSR STRATEGY AND ROADMAP ORGANIZATIONAL GOVERNANCE

(GRI 103-02)

Organisational governance is the system by which an organisation makes and implements decisions in pursuit of its objectives. Organisational governance can comprise both formal governance mechanisms based on defined structures and processes, and informal mechanisms that emerge in connection with the organisation's culture and values, often influenced by the persons who are leading the organisation. Organisational governance is a core function of every kind of organizationasit is the framework for decision making within the organisation.

At Logicom, strong corporate governance isthe foundation of our long-term success. The Logicom Board of Directorssets high standards for Logicom's employees, officers, and directors. Logicom has implemented the Cyprus Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Code, as part of our duty to serve as a prudent fiduciary for shareholders and to oversee the management of Logicom'sbusiness.

Governance can only be as good asthe Board of Directors behind it. At Logicom, each Board member brings a plethora of skills and experience to the table and we are fully engaged and committed to providing management and guidance to the Company's executive management team. We maximize shareholder value by taking a long-term view and are in constant pursuit of value creation. The Board is vigilant in its system of checks and balances and its assessment and management of risk.

The effectiveness of the Board is vital to the success of Logicom and the strategic direction that it provides, and we undertake a rigorous evaluation each year to measure how well we are performing in relation to our shareholders, partners and employees. The benefits arising from the diversity in the composition of the Board are recognized. The Board should be composed by members of high academic training and successful professional background taking also into account that the experience is a significant element of the perception and fair judgement. The necessity for diversity in the training and specialization of the directors to optimally cover the requirements of Logicom's areas of operations also exists. In the evaluation of these criteria, nodiscrimination is made in regardstothe gender.

Logicom's Board of Directorsis comprised of seven members, five of whom are independent non-executive directors and two are non- independent executive directors. The Corporate Governance Committees are the Nomination Committee, responsible for recommending new directors to the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Committee, responsible for the directors' remuneration packages, the Audit Committee, responsible for supervising the quality and accuracy of the financial statements, complying with legal and administrative rules, examining the professional level of auditors, their audit work and independence, as well asthe performance of the internal control, and the Risk Management Committee responsible to supervise the risk managementsystems.

(For more information on the composition of the Board of Directors, please refer to the annual Report and Consolidated and Separate Financial Statementsforthe year ended 31 December 2020, locatedatthe Logicom Group website).

DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES AND STRUCTURES

Diversity of governance bodies and employees (GRI 405-1)

Board of Directors:

Figure 11: Composition of the Board of Directors by age and gender

All members of the Boardof Directorsaremale members, Cypriot citizensand older than51 years old.

The members of the Board are chosen based on numerous criteria in order to achieve as much diversity as possible, however, the availability of suitable candidates with experience and expertise in our sector is always a critical factor in establishing diversity.

Management personnel:

The composition of managerialpersonnel throughout Logicom is: male employees – 79% and female employees -21%.

As per figure 12: 76% of managerial personnel between the ages of 30-50 are male while this percentage increases to 89% for the managerial personnel who are greater than 50 years old. There are no managerial personnel under the age of 30 years old.

Figure 12: Employees in managerial positions by gender and age (2020)

Compared to the base year, the % of women in managerial positions increased by 3%. In terms of age groups analysis there is a decrease in both male and female employees in managerial positionsin the age categories of under 30 and an increase of female employees in the age category over 50 years old. This change in age categories is attributed to the ageing of employees holding these positions.

Employees

Gender groups

Out of the 727 employees of the Group, 73% are male and 27% are female.

Region groups

Considering the different regions where the employees are placed, the split between Europe and Middle East is:

Figure 13: Logicom employees' gender by region (2020)

412 employees are based in Europe (57%), out of which 67% aremale and 33% are female.

315 employees are based in Middle East (47%), out of which 80% are male and 20% are female.

Overall, the split of the totalnumber of employees by gender remainsat the same level since base year.

Compared to the base year, the majority of the group's employees work base, remainsin Europe and the split by gender and region remains approximatelyatthe same levels comparedto base year and prior year.

Age groups

Figure 14: Logicom employees' age by gender (2020)

102 employees (14%) are under 30 years old, 66% of which are male and 34% are female.

530 employees (73%) are between the ages of 30 to 50 years old, 73% of which are male and 27% are female.

95 employees (13%) are over 50 years old, 78% of which are male and 22% are female.

In 2020 the percentage of employees at the age group below 30 years old increased to 14% compared to 8% in the base year whereas the percentage of employees at the age group of 30 to 50 years old decreased to 73% compared to 83% in the base year. The percentage of employees above 50 years old was also increased to 13% compared to 9% in the base year. This increase is attributed to the ageing of the existing employees and not due to new hires.

Nationalities

The nationalitiesof the employees are shown below, in figure 15:

Figure 15: Logicom employees' nationalities (2020)

The allocation of employees to primary and support activities is based on Logicom's value chain as presented in figure 4.

Figure 16: Logicom employees' gender by department (2020)

The split of employees between the primary and support activities is 80% and 20% respectively. These percentages remain unchanged since base year. In 2020, the presence of women in the primary activity departments increased compared to base year.

Overall, Logicom as an IT Group of companies, tendsto attract more male employees, especially in the primary activities' departments of Management, Technical, Warehouse and Sales & Marketing. Another factor that explains why there are more male employees, is the geographical dispersion, as 43% of Logicom employees are located in the Middle East, where the gap between male and female employees inevitable widens. The ratio of skilled female vs male workforce in the Middle East islower than other regions we operate in and this also affectsthe gender equality factor. However, even under these circumstances Logicom's Management endeavors have achieved the employment of a significant number of female employeesin the Middle East countries, especially in Saudi Arabia.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

(GRI 102-40, GRI 102-42 to GRI 102-44)

The Group postponed the planned stakeholder engagement event, as a result of the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), and a web-based survey was organizedinstead asit was considered the safest alternative.

The survey's aim was to determine the materiality matrices (please refer to page 33), but at the same time to also determine the stakeholder's perception of how socially responsible Logicomcurrently is.

The stakeholders' responses revealed that they perceive Logicom as a socially responsible Group of companies, which however has a lot of potential for further improvement. More specifically, the stakeholders' noted that their perception is that Logicom is placing a lot of focus on the areas of Organizational Governance and Labour Practices, denoting that Logicom has been particularly effective in communicating its values related with social responsibility inside and outside the organizationaswell asin communicating some of the areas of focus.

The survey also gave out that even though the stakeholders are aware of Logicom's sustainability areas of focus, they were unaware of any CSR activitiesthat Logicom is involved in. This implies that there is a gap in the communication of activities further to strategy and Logicom should proceed with better means to communicate the CSR activities, both internally and externally.

Finally, it is worth noting that the stakeholders' engagement unveiled that the stakeholders consider how socially responsible an organisation is, as an important factor in their decision to work for them. This provides Logicom with a competitive advantage, given its ongoing efforts towards being socially responsible and its commitment to improving its social responsibility even further, as there is a strong evidence that CSR is vital for every organisation. Logicom should continue working towards developing its CSR, in order to attract employees and business partners and enjoy the support from local communities.

Focus areas:

Continuous monitoring to ensure that adequate resources continue to be allocated in order to maintain this high level of performance in this area, since it is of outmost importance to Logicom and all issues under this area are being addressed extensively.

(GRI 103-02)

The labour practices of an organisation encompass all policies and practices relating to work performed within, by or on behalf of the organisation, including subcontracted work. Labour practices extend beyond the relationship of an organisation with its direct employees or the responsibilities that an organisation has at a workplace that it owns or directly controls.

Labour practices include the recruitment and promotion of workers; disciplinary and grievance procedures; the transfer and relocation of workers; termination of employment; training and skills development; health, safety and industrial hygiene; and any policy or practice affecting conditions of work, in particular working time and remuneration.

Undoubtedly, among an organisation's most important economic and social contributions are the creation of jobs, as well as wages and other compensation paid for work performed. Meaningful and productive work constitutes a key and vital element for human development; standards of living are bettered through full and secure employment. On the other hand, the absence of secure employment isthe root of many social problems. Labour practices greatly affect the respect for the rule of law and on sense of fairness within society. Hence, socially responsible labour practices are key to social justice, stability and peace.

Our employees are the driving force behind our success and our diverse workforce is the source of our strength for achieving our objectives.

HUMAN RIGHTS

(GRI 103-02)

Human rights are the basic rightsto which all human beings are entitled. There are two broad categories of human rights. The first category concerns civil and political rights and includes such rights asthe right to life and liberty, equality before the law and freedom of expression. The second category concerns economic, social and cultural rights and includes such rights asthe right to work, the right to food, the right to the highest attainable standard of health, the right to education and the rightto social security.

An organisation has numerous opportunities to support human rights among its own operations and employees, as well as opportunities to work with its suppliers, peers or other organisations and the broader society, to promote human rights. An organisation has the responsibility to respect, protect and fulfil human rights, including within its sphere of influence. To respect human rights, organisations have a responsibility to exercise due diligence to identify, prevent and address actual or potential human rights impacts resulting from their activities or the activities of those with which they have relationships.

Logicom hasthe utmost respect for Human Rightsand all other policies and procedures are developed on this basis.

WHERE WE STAND

(GRI 103-03)

DUE DILIGENCE, AVOIDANCE OF COMPLICITY, ECONOMIC SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS, HUMAN RIGHTS RISK SITUATIONS

The Group has implemented a human rights policy that gives guidance to its employees and closely linked stakeholders. This policy formalizes Logicom'slong-standing commitment to uphold and respect human rightsfor all people and it sets the groundsfor Logicomto identify and address any existing misconduct or potential misconduct towards human rights.

  • Prior to engaging into a business relationship with a prospective supplier or subcontractor, Logicom's Management ensures thatthese are screened based on numerous criteria. These include:
  • Suppliers' or subcontractors' company profile (in terms of reputation, market position and share)
  • Brandname (in termsof quality)
  • Impacts to the Group's profile in the case of choosing to do business with the supplier /subcontractor, negative or positive
  • Environmental criteria (materials used in production and packaging, recycling, use of renewable sources of energy, Compliance with the ROHSDirective)
  • Anti-bribery and Corruption criteria

All the contracts signed between the Group and its major distribution and services suppliers are based on the suppliers' terms and conditions. Our major suppliers are international organizations of great reputation, well known for their Social Responsibility practices. All the contractssigned and accepted by Logicom include clauses for Environmental compliance, Corruption and Anti-piracy and customer Data Privacy.

In the same way, Logicom declares its compliance to Anti Money Laundering laws, Anti-corruption and International labour Lawsin regardsto child labour and forced labour when signing public tenders.

The contracts signed between Logicom and Cloud marketplace suppliers are mostly initiated by Logicom and signed by the supplier. The contracts contain compliance clauses regarding Anti-trust, anti-corruption laws, laws of the International Labour Organization for child labour and clauses prohibiting connections to terrorists and criminal organizations.

To the best of our knowledge, none of Logicom's suppliers was identified as having significant negative impacts on the society and the environment, nor as having significant risk for incidents of child labour, forced or compulsory labour, and human rights abuses. (GRI 407-1, 408-1, 409-1, 414-2, 308-2)

All the new supplier contractssigned in 2020 were screened according to the procedures as mentioned above. (GRI 414- 1, 308-1) No significant or potential negative environmental impact wasidentified in the supply chain. Criteria for impact on society, human rights and labour practices were not part of the screening procedure as specific areas however they are taken into consideration when determining the supplier's company profile.(GRI 408-1, 409-1, 414-2, 308-2)

There were no significant investment agreements and contracts in the year that underwent human rights screening. An investment is considered to be significant if it exceeds the 5% of Logicom's Total Assets, or if approval is required at a BoD level due to itsstrategic importance. (GRI 412-3)

What is more, composition of women's presence in the primary activity departments increased by 1% compared to prior years.
