The higher the ecological sensitivity of the sites and the larger the area of land, the greater the responsibility of the Company. Thanks to the evaluation of the ecological value of its land, the Company can integrate biodiversity as one of the decision-making criteria in its industrial choices. In the Group, land concerns more particularly EDF (41,000ha in metropolitan France), Edison (5,560ha) and EDF Energy (1,617ha): in France, EDF assessed the ecological quality of approximately 68% of the land ■ for which the Company is responsible. EDF has developed an Ecological

Potentiality Indicator (EPI) in conjunction with the National Natural History Museum intended to be deployed on a large scale to monitor the ecological state of the Company’s land. For example, this method has already been implemented on 22,325 hectares of land for hydropower (i.e. 64% of the land to be analysed). Between 2013 and 2017, EDF voluntarily sent survey data on 20,000ha, i.e. approximately 50,000 occurrence data, to the INPN (3) ;

in the UK, EDF Energy has carried out surveys concerning all of its land. ■
