The following table assesses the EDF group’s contribution to the other UN Sustainable Development Goals:

3.9.2

Compliance with best international standards

Global Compact (1)

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) (2)

The United Nations Global Compact brings together, under the aegis of the UN, companies and NGOs committed to 10 guiding principles articulated in four areas: human rights, labour rights, the environment and the fight against corruption. EDF has been committed to the United Nations Global Compact since 2001 and has published a Communication On Progress (COP) at “Advanced” level every year since 2012. The Group also complies with the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, and the United Nations Convention against Corruption. EDF promotes international human rights law by recognising the ILO’s fundamental conventions, which guarantee fundamental labour principles and rights, and the fight against discrimination.

The GRI is an independent international non-profit organisation created in 1997 by the association of CERES (Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies) and UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme). GRI helps companies and governments

around the world to understand and communicate their impact on critical sustainable development issues such as climate change, human rights, governance and social well-being. This enables concrete actions to be taken to create social, environmental and economic benefits for all. EDF has a long history of integrating developments in the GRI Standards. The concordance table between the Group’s indicators and those proposed by GRI is available on the EDF website: https://www.edf.fr/sites/default/files/contrib/groupe-edf/engagements/rapports-et -indicateurs/2020/edf-group-2020_gri-content-index.pdf
