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

UK In the UK, EDF Energy has developed a tool called the “Customer Profiling Tool” to identify opportunities for improving energy efficiency and the flexibility of industrial customers through the analysis of their processes and load curve. With the support of the R&D department, EDF Energy has also developed the PowerSHift platform (modelling tools, optimisation algorithms, control strategies), which will allow key customers to monitor their facilities by taking energy cost variations into consideration. Belgium EDF Luminus launched an app called “Luminus Energy Management” in Belgium in May 2018, which allows customers to manage their energy smartly. For example, they can monitor changes in forward prices, be informed of market changes in real time, set their prices when they deem relevant or reopen their position to benefit from price reductions, while being guided by EDF Luminus. Dalkia Dalkia established the DESC (Dalkia Energy Savings Center), an interactive platform to monitor building energy consumption. Dalkia continues to work on an app that gathers all energy data for each site. The app includes Artificial Intelligence algorithms, which facilitate the identification of performance deviations and the targeting sites to be handled on a priority basis. Fostering energy transition in towns 3.2.4.4 and communities The EDF group is committed to the energy transition of towns and communities. These play a vital role in combating climate change. EDF develops tailor-made solutions to assist local authorities in their energy-related projects. EDF’s support focuses on strategic energy planning and advice, energy generation from local resources, the energy and environmental performance of buildings and facilities, street lighting and mobility. In France, this support is carried out through EDF's participation in over 1,000 projects, which include individual and collective self-consumption projects, or local energy management at the level of a building, an island or a district. Examples: the Ydeal Confluence project in Lyon (collective self-consumption with management of a stationary battery), Les Souffleurs/Logis Cévenols residence in Alès (collective self-consumption with management of sanitary hot water tanks). By taking into account the specificities of the local community, Dalkia supports communities in defining an energy strategy in the region by creating an ethical energy system by reducing the consumption of primary energy, producing energy locally in a better manner, distributing energy effectively, and strengthening cooperation between the players. EDF SEI carried out a number of initiatives in 2018. Thus, on the island of Sein the plant for the production of drinking water through osmosis has been interfaced with the Energy Management System of EDF SEI to coordinate its functioning with the production of renewable energy and thus contribute towards maximising the renewable portion in the island's energy mix. EDF SEI also launched the first plan for the Grid Connection of Renewable Energies of French Guiana in order to optimise and facilitate the development of 136MW of additional renewable energy generation capacity. Consultations were also started in Martinique and Guadeloupe. In partnership with the Provence Alpes Cotes d’Azur Region, the R&D department is conducting a prospective study on the strategy for the decarbonisation of energy in the regional grid to be carbon neutral by 2050, and is developing a decision-support tool for new eco-friendly, low-energy concepts for a future district of 65,000 inhabitants in Moscow. Enedis (1) has set-up a data transmission mechanism that helps carry out collective self-consumption operations, which has enabled the first local projects of this kind see the light of day. Enedis also continued and amplified the provision of energy data, via a dedicated data agency open to all electricity and gas distributors, to

support local authorities in the knowledge/control of the consumption of their buildings or energy renovation programmes. Electricité de Strasbourg supports the transition of urban heat networks in Greater Strasbourg towards even greater interconnection, scalability and innovation with so-called communicating networks, in order to lower heating loads and integrate a future mix of renewable energies. It also develops mini-heating networks on ENR generation intended for neighbourhoods, buildings and common property (biomass, geothermal energy, groundwater heat pump, etc.). Finally, Citelum deals, in particular, with controlling the energy consumption of the public lighting networks, and sets up systems that quickly remedy the problems observed by operators or reported by residents. These types of systems were set up, for example, in Dijon, but also in Italy, Brazil, Mexico or Chile. EDF action within the framework of the French energy savings certificates (CEE) programme is described in sections 1.4.2.2 “Customer Department” and 1.5.6 “Regulations applicable to the environment, nuclear, health, hygiene and safety”. Electric mobility 3.2.4.5 Apart from better control of energy consumption, energy transition involves a change in consumer behaviour, particularly in their mobility, a major source of CO 2 emissions. A new impetus 3.2.4.5.1 2018 was a key year for EDF group's positioning in the electric mobility market with the launch of the Electric Mobility Plan on 10 October 2018. Through this plan, the EDF group aims to be the leading energy provider in this area from 2022 in its four largest European markets: France, the UK, Italy and Belgium. Electric mobility will see sustained growth over the next few years. Today, the transport sector is the principal contributor of green house gas emissions in Europe. Given this context, carbon-free electricity is the solution of the future for clean transport. The Electric Mobility Plan 3.2.4.5.2 With the Electric Mobility Plan, EDF has accelerated its goals with concrete objectives resting on three pillars: being the leading supplier of electricity for electric vehicles in 2022: the EDF ■ group intends to provide electricity to 600,000 electric vehicles, i.e. 30% of market share in its four target countries; being the leading electric terminal network operator: the EDF group intends to ■ be the leading operator of public and private charging infrastructure in its four core countries in Europe. Thus, through its subsidiary IZIVIA (formerly Sodetrel), the Group will deploy 75,000 terminals and provide its European customers with access to 250,000 interoperable terminals by 2022; being the European “smart charging” leader: the EDF group wants to become ■ the smart charging leader in Europe with the target of operating 4,000 “smart” terminals as of 2020. New partnerships 3.2.4.5.3 The Electric Mobility Plan is based on new partnerships with innovative players, who are market leaders. EDF and NUVVE: a California start-up based in San Diego, specialising in ■ aggregation and pricing in the energy markets of flexibilities linked to the charging of electric vehicles; EDF and Ubitricity: Ubitricity specialises in innovative solutions for street lamp ■ charging. It is present in several countries in Europe and around the world; EDF and Renault are partners for developing joint offers and experimenting ■ with electric mobility solutions in island regions and cities; EDF Energy and Nissan International are partners in the United Kingdom for ■ developing joint offers for electric mobility, smart charging, second-life battery use, storage and renewable energy;

Enedis is an independently managed subsidiary. (1)
