ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIETAL INFORMATION – HUMAN RESOURCES EDF's Corporate Social Responsibility Goals

A reference Company in terms of health 3.2.2.1 and safety: the health and safety of our employees and the employees of our service providers, an absolute priority Guaranteeing the best health & safety 3.2.2.1.1 conditions at work for all The Group’s new health and safety policy, adopted in April 2018, defines a common, consistent framework with which the policies and action plans of the Group’s different subsidiaries must comply. This Group policy applies to all the companies controlled by the EDF group, in all the countries in which EDF operates, and concerns both its employees and its sub-contractors’ employees working on its facilities and premises. The Group's new Health and Safety policy is based on an undertaking signed by the Chairman and all members of Executive Committee. This undertaking is accompanied by a roadmap that mobilises the Group's entities to achieve the objectives set. There is an annual Group health & safety review. The CAP 2030 programme’s strategic health and safety objectives were defined in 2015. The Group strives to set an example in the area of Health and Safety. The main priority is to eradicate fatal accidents, then reduce the number of accidents and

combat absenteeism. This ambition and these priorities for the coming years are implemented in all the companies of the Group in order to: make health and safety one of the Group’s major commitments and an essential ■ component of its culture; place managers at the heart of the deployment of health & safety policy; ■ empower all employees on a daily basis: for example, in 2018, EDF conducted ■ 24,414 e-learning training courses on shared vigilance and 11,518 courses on safety culture, i.e. 35,933 against 14,000 covered under EDF's profit-sharing agreement. Employees were also mobilised as part of the annual Health and Safety Week in October, this year devoted to field presence and shared vigilance; protect and promote health of everyone: employees, service providers, clients and ■ local people. In this regard, initiatives to raise awareness about preventing addictions were developed, and followed by the introduction of checks for alcohol and drug consumption. In 2018, 33.9% of the EDF group's employees were covered by a Health and Safety Management System certification (OHSAS 18001, ISO 45001, MASE, VCA). As an extension of the actions carried out in 2017, the construction of the Group's reference framework (BEST: Building Excellence in Safety Together), comprising eight Health and Safety management requirements (the Group Safety benchmark), was finalised in 2018 and posted on EDF's website. The Group's new Health and Safety policy specifies the conditions for the deployment of this new internal benchmark, which is based on a self-assessment process.

Eradicating work-related deadly accidents Eradicating fatal accidents at work This was the first goal firmly set in 2015 for Group employees and service providers.

Reducing work-related accidents In 2018, the Group confirmed the positive results obtained for EDF employees since 2016 (number of work-related accidents that resulted in more than one day of absence from work, recorded over the current year and per million hours worked. Days of absence from work are linked to the year when they are taken even if the accident occurred the previous year), confirming its capacity to sustain this level, never before achieved at the Group scale. In 2018, the EDF group published its overall frequency rate, including accidents and working hours for its employees and service provider employees, thus illustrating the prevention approach covering all stakeholders deployed in the Group for several years.

In 2018, continuing the initiatives started in 2015, the Group focused on 10 key rules, which were adopted following an analysis of deadly accidents in the EDF group over the last 30 years, which everyone must follow as they go about their work in order to avoid serious accidents and protect both themselves and those around them. To continue developing the safety culture, other initiatives were taken in 2018 with the implementation of the collection of High Potential Events (HPE), more than half of which are near-accidents or dangerous situations and sharing at Group level of Experience Feedback on the elements resulting from the analysis of these events, in particular those related to the 10 key rules of the Group.
