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

In India and Mexico, Citelum sets up regular meetings with stakeholders interested in its projects, connects with customers to follow their needs and invites subcontractors to the main events (safety week, inauguration of the training centre). This entity publishes weekly reports with the people involved and subcontractors and has developed a customer management system with call centres to handle their complaints. Professionalise dialogue with 3.2.5.3 recognised standards and through innovation The key to success for projects and their integration into the region’s economic and social development programmes is working together with local authorities, local populations and associations. Regular information and open dialogue are carried out close to the sites, and consultations and innovative public meetings are held on the sites or for the projects. Building on the best national and 3.2.5.3.1 international standards to support projects All of the projects are based on the social and environmental performance standards of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) (1) , whether for projects led by EDF Renewables in France, the Middle East, Africa or South America, or by the International Division. The protocol developed by the IHA (International Hydropower Association) has, for example, been used in metropolitan France to evaluate the Romanche-Gavet project on around twenty criteria and is now the evaluation grid for international projects in various stages of development. At the request of the Group's operational divisions, R&D carries out comparative studies on the acceptability of operations and projects, based on socio-political standards. EDF Hydro also has a dedicated societal team, which carries out analyses and consultations in France and abroad. In Cameroon, permanent dialogue has been developed for 10 years for the construction of the Nachtigal dam. A dedicated and localised team in Batchenga, regularly informs all stakeholders regarding the progress of the project (local administrative, municipal, traditional authorities, decentralised government services, development projects, associations, cooperatives, and more broadly the local populations). For example, the project team carried out a radio campaign on FM, broadcasting messages in French and in the other languages used in the area: Eton, Ewondo Sanaga and Mvoute. Developing innovative dialogues 3.2.5.3.2 Identification of project stakeholders is systematically carried out, making it possible to deploy diverse partnerships and innovative methods of dialogue. For example, in 2018: EDF has forged a partnership with the l'École Nationale Supérieure des ■ Paysages (ENSP), which recently made it possible to create training media to support project managers (2) and to deploy regional educational workshops in Brennilis regarding the future of the site; the partnership with the National Federation of Fishing in France (FNPF) ■ facilitates the financing and management of actions in favour of aquatic environments, where nearly 50 agreements were signed with departmental fishing federations, based on one framework agreement; in Flamanville, EDF set up a Social Dialogue Monitoring Committee with five ■ representatives from the representative departmental unions at the national level. It addresses all the issues of the EPR Grand Chantier programme and the issues related to the progress of the site, safety and the employment or demobilisation of employees. This Committee is reappointed until the end of the project; the provisions proposed by EDF to improve the safety level of its 900MW ■ nuclear reactors as part of their fourth periodic review are the subject of an unprecedented consultation: under the aegis of a High Committee for Transparency and Nuclear Information (HCTISN), it is a matter of associating

the public with the challenges and objectives of this programme and making it possible to shed light on subsequent decisions. All the main institutional players in the safety of nuclear power plants in France are involved: the National Association of Committees and Local Information Commissions (ANCCLI), the Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) and the Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN). Eight nuclear power plants are involved: Blayais, Bugey, Chinon, Cruas-Meysse, Dampierre-en-Burly, Gravelines, Saint-Laurent-des-eaux and Tricastin. This is a first phase of exchange with the public, in the run up to the public inquiries that will take place reactor by reactor. A digital platform is dedicated (3) and meetings are scheduled by the local information commissions; the Nuclear Generation Division develops Consultation and Coordination ■ bodies (ICC), permanent local structures for supporting economic development. At end-2018, 13 of the 19 ICCs were set up, in conjunction with the prefectures of the place where they are located. The plan aims to develop synergies between the players and increase the local value created by the power plant, which is a lever for the success of the Grand Carénage programme (logistics, traffic, housing, safety, training and skills needs); as far as the early closure of the Fessenheim power plant is concerned, EDF ■ attends consultation meetings organised under the aegis of the prefecture of Bas-Rhin. This bodies make it possible, in particular, to inform a large public of local stakeholders regarding the industrial stages for the shut down of reactors 1 and 2, as well as the support system planned by EDF for site employees and service providing companies. This dialogue is carried out in conjunction with the Association of Contractor Companies Operating in the East (GIMEST); EDF Hydro experiments with the use of digital information exchange and ■ multi-service data platforms for local stakeholders. In 2018, test workshops were conducted in the upstream phase based on the models. For its wind projects, and in addition to the usual public meetings, EDF Luminus has developed dialogue platforms in Wallonia and Flanders; EDF Norte Fluminense in Brazil and EDF Renewables in Mexico developed new ■ tools for managing suggestions or claims from customers, employees and suppliers. Making your voice heard and 3.2.5.4 participating in public debates The draft revision of the multi-year energy programme of the mainland metropolis was submitted to the National Public Debate Commission. EDF participated in four of the nine controversies workshops (4) . EDF published a participant's guide presenting the Group's stance and expressing its convictions, and participated in sixty-four debates with target audiences (consumers, artisans and merchants, fuel-poor households and chambers of commerce). Listening to employees and talking 3.2.5.5 about energy From January to April 2018, the 101,000 employees of EDF and its subsidiaries in France were invited for dialogue around the Company's strategic vision (“Talking about Energies”). These exchanges identified 20 key challenges for the Company and raised 200 proposals. On 2 July 2018, the review of these proposals by the Executive Committee was followed by more than 10,000 employees around three subject areas: putting customers and uses at the heart of our business model, engaging resolutely in innovative business areas, and transforming our modes of operation. The implementation of “Let's Talk Energy” continued with employee volunteers. This initiative received the participation and consultation trophy on 19 November 2018, organised by the Gazette des Communes and the Décider Ensemble association under the auspices of the Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition, the National Public Debate Commission and the Commissioner-General for Sustainable Development.
