ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIETAL INFORMATION – HUMAN RESOURCES EDF's commitments in the area of sustainable development

For young people Creating interest in the scientific, technical and industrial culture, helping to understand electricity better, and raising awareness of climate change issues are three of EDF's priority objectives for young people. Within the scope of an agreement signed in 2002 with the Ministry of National Education, the Company organises free conferences on electricity and sustainable development for primary, middle and high schools. In 2018, more than 100,000 school children took part in these conferences. The Company also provides education resources for young people and teachers on its website edf.fr/energie-a-z (over 600,000 single visitors in 2018). In order to reach out to young people between 15-25 years of age, EDF is forging new partnerships with scientific mediators 2.0. For example, in 2018, the educational video on nuclear energy, published by youtuber Dr Nozman, generated 700,000 views. In the French Overseas Departments and local communities as well as in PACA and Brittany, EDF renewed its partnership created in 2016 with the regional education authorities and teaching associations for the “Watty at school” programme. Company employees and local associations go to primary and middle schools to raise awareness among 150,000 children every year on the need to save water and energy. Change in the perceptions of internal and external audiences The Group measures the perception of sustainable development and its evolution over time through an annual survey of about 3,400 employees of EDF and Enedis (1) . In terms of knowledge and awareness of environmental issues, at least 80% of respondents said they had already heard of sustainable development, green energy or ethical charters, and one in five employees said they had received training on environmental issues or sustainable development in the last three years. In the course of their work, 65% of them said that they had already heard of (stable) corporate social responsibility commitments; 59% believed that environment was a priority in their unit, and 38% (down slightly) stated that they were aware of the Company's environmental policy. The results of the 2018 survey follow on from the basic trends observed since 2010: major concerns over climate change, even considered as “very worrying” by 64% employees (65% in 2017; 45% in 2010). It is increasingly identified as the

consequence of human activity (78% stable compared with 2017). 97% of employees believe that climate change is under way, and 85% of employees also believe that it is possible to fight against climate change (stagnation). Nearly all the employees questioned were in favour of using renewable energies (89% for wind energy to 96% for hydropower, stable), and also stated that nuclear energy companies have a role to play in environmental protection (77%, stable). Up by one point, 86% expect energy suppliers to promote energy savings and 31% believe that these suppliers must also fight against fuel poverty (stable for five years). The circular economy continues to be a concept that is not very well understood by employees (20%). EDF integrates three corporate responsibility criteria into variable compensation mechanisms when calculating employee profit-sharing, up to 40% of overall profit-sharing. For 2017-2019, it used the following criteria: a social criterion relating to participation in e-learning training in health and ■ safety, accounting for 20% of total profit-sharing (target of 14,000 e-learning courses in 2018); two “Sustainable Development and Digital Development” criteria: one concerns ■ the reduction of print jobs on the printers connected to the network (reduction target of 15% in 2018), and the other concerns the increased use of remote connection to replace physical connection (increase target of 15% in 2018), each accounting for 10% of total profit-sharing. With regard to external audiences, the Group measures the change in perception on sustainable development-related topics through several surveys, which constitute a decision support tool for its awareness-raising activities. Key results for 2018 reveal that 57% people in France believe that EDF is concerned about the environment; for 20%, the Company generates energy with relatively low CO 2 emissions (stable compared to last year, the public still has difficulty linking nuclear generation to the absence of GHG emissions); for 29% (down 3 points) the Company acts in favour of energy transition and proposes new energy solutions. On the issue of the country's energy cap, 67% of French people trust EDF to develop renewable energy (+4 points) in a significant manner and 58% believe that the Company is preparing the energy future (+4 points).
