SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY

3. Societal information

The process of listing, evaluating and following up suppliers and subcontractors is based on a principle of proportionality to the challenges. AREVA’s contracts are thus divided into three categories as a function of the risk level and based on prior risk analysis called “hazards analysis”. The analysis is filled in for any contract involving intervention at a site and requirements concerning protected interests, before the technical specifier drafts the requirements. The level of the activity’s risk determines the list of suppliers invited to bid and the measures to be taken for contract follow-up and operational supervision to ensure the control of subcontractor health, safety, environment and sustainable development requirements. AREVA also strengthened the best-offer principle in its bid selection process in accordance with the roll-out of the social specifications. Criteria for covering risk prevention aspects and labor aspects were introduced in the bid evaluation process. In practice, technical bids determined tomeet the express of requirements undergo a quantified assessment based on a relative weight of 40% or more depending on the technical criteria and 10% based on risk prevention and working conditions criteria.

The criteria adopted for risk prevention and working conditions are: p the accident frequency rate for years n-1 and n-2; p assessments of supplier services for years n-1 and n-2; p the ratio of training to payroll for years n-1 and n-2;

p the industrial scheme proposes with the volume and level of subcontracting planned. In addition, in view of the reorganization of the group and the function, which will have an impact on subcontracting, AREVA began strengthening its communications to its suppliers and service providers back in 2015. In addition to local Supplier Days organized by the operating entities, the Supply Chain Department organized a Supplier Convention with the sponsorship of senior management. The convention was held on December 10, 2015 at AREVA Tower. It gathered together a hundred of the group’s suppliers as well as members of the ExCom, senior executive vice presidents of the Business units and Supply Chain representatives.
