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

EDF and Toyota have been partners since 2007 for electric mobility in terms of ■ R&D, and since 2017 in the area of carbon-free industrial performance on the Onnaing site in Valenciennes; EDF and Valeo are partners for monitoring the development of future battery ■ technologies and charging solutions, as well as for developing mobility services. Commitment regarding EDF's fleet 3.2.4.5.4 In addition to the Electric Mobility Services offered to its customers and the R&D programmes, EDF has launched two development initiatives for Electric Vehicles within the Group: signing of the EV 100 undertaking on 11 December 2017 with the NGO “The ■ Climate Group”. The EDF group is the first French group to sign this undertaking, which aims at having a fleet of 100% electric light vehicles by 2030. Of its fleet of light vehicles, currently more than 40,000 vehicles worldwide (mainly in Europe), more than 6% (over 2,500 Electric Vehicles) is already electric. This Group Project includes both the vehicles and charging infrastructure divisions (more than 1,500 sites to be equipped across the world by 2030); EV100 indicator - Group Unit 2018 The EDF group's EV rate in the fleet of light vehicles % > 6.1 the implementation of an “Electric Mobility” Offer for Group Employees: a first ■ offer will be available in 2019 to employees in metropolitan France, who will have access to the Group's future framework contract with selected suppliers, as well as offers on virtuous charging services (network of terminals, smart-charging) marketed by its subsidiaries, particularly by IZIVIA (formerly Sodetrel). Initiatives already launched by 3.2.4.5.5 subsidiaries and entities of the EDF group Measures related to electric mobility are already being carried out by the entities of the EDF group: in 2018, EDF Energy launched a complete solution, intended to help companies ■ in the transition to electric mobility; Edison launched the PLUG & GO offer for domestic customers, an integrated ■ service including a rental base, provision and installation of a wall housing for domestic charging and a bonus of €180, equivalent to one year of free charging; Edison launched the SUN & GO offer, the service intended for SMEs integrating photovoltaic systems, storage and electric charging systems. In addition, a new application on the geolocation of public charging stations has been put in place; in 2018, EDF carried out about two dozen studies for local authorities who ■ wish to deploy charging points in their regions. Studies on fleets of vehicles as well as preview studies of electric bus lines and their power supply were also carried out; EDF SEI: 2018 saw the creation of the Advenir label for sustainable mobility in ■ the islands in collaboration with Ademe, DGEC and AVERE. This label enables the financing of charging stations that comply with precise specifications: limitation and modulation of power of the terminals based on a signal emitted by EDF SEI. Based on the generation mix (costs and CO 2 emissions) this signal, available on the EDF SEI's Open Data site identifies favourable and unfavourable periods for charging; Enedis (1) : the MOBE-P and MOBE-O support offers were deployed in the first ■ half of 2018 in response to the expectations of the local authorities. Enedis has developed an application for the real time simulation of the impact of the connection to the distribution network of one or more electric vehicle charging stations. In addition, Enedis has signed a partnership with the Automobile Platform for the development of electric mobility in France, the inclusion whereof will facilitate the connection of the charging infrastructure and reduce the impact of connection work for the local authority.

Storage solutions and smart grids 3.2.4.6 EDF's storage plan 3.2.4.6.1 In a changing energy landscape, EDF is speeding up the development of electricity storage to become the European leader in the sector. Storage is an essential lever for energy transition, alongside energy efficiency and nuclear and renewable energies. A pioneer in the field, the Group is already present in the main areas of application of storage technologies, in particular batteries and Pumped Energy Transfer Stations (hydraulic STEP). EDF aims to develop 10GW of new storage facilities across the world by 2035 in addition to the 5GW already operated by the Group. This acceleration represents an investment of €8 billion over the 2018-2035 period. EDF's goals cover all electricity storage markets in order to ensure the proper functioning of the balance between the electricity system, private and business customers and regions. The Group aims, particularly, to be the leader in France and Europe in the individual customer market with its range of self-consumption offers integrating batteries. The African continent is also a priority market for the Group, which aims to develop a portfolio of 1.2 million “off-grid” customers (without access to electricity) by 2035 with help from local partnerships. Over the next 12 months, the Group aims: to commission at least three battery projects for the performance and balance ■ of the electricity system; the extension of the offer of access to electricity with solar panels and batteries ■ in Ghana, after the success in Ivory Coast. In the wake of the rapid development in storage technologies, EDF is also reinforcing its Research and Development strategy by doubling its research investment on storage for the electricity system to reach €70 million over the 2018-2020 period. At the same time, EDF Pulse Expansion will dedicate €15 million over the 2017-2019 period, i.e. a third of its investments, to projects and start-ups related to electricity storage and flexibility. Smart grids 3.2.4.6.2 The energy transition and digital revolution deeply transform the management of the electricity distribution network. The change in electricity needs leads to favouring the deployment of new smart grids, rather than massively replacing existing electricity systems. For Enedis, 2018 was marked by the preparation of a new road map with details of the priority sites and necessary future transformations to help make Enedis the benchmark operator of the electricity distribution system in France and Europe. New projects were launched across the region in order to test innovative technical solutions: regarding the New Connection Solutions project (NSR), which reflects the CRE ■ deliberation of 12 June 2014 on the development of smart grids, Enedis is continuing to study solutions in the form of experimental offers to connect customers quickly and at a lower cost. Four experiments have been ongoing for three years; Article 199 (2) of the Law on Energy Transition for Green Growth was ■ implemented in the Northern region of Pas-de-Calais, in the form of an experiment in the use of flexibility to shift investments to the source substations over time; a new “SMAC” project began in Champagne-Ardennes this year and aims to ■ encourage the charging of electric vehicles based on wind generation forecasts and network status; 2018 marked the closure and capitalisation of the “SOLENN” projects in ■ Lorient and Ploemeur, with promising results on targeted capping, and of “Smart Grid Vendée” on energy optimisation at the scale of a local authority;
