Changes in scopes The Polish companies were sold on 13 November 2017. The capacities of their generating plants were set to zero at 31 December 2017. By contrast, other environmental indicators are reported pro rata to the number of days held by EDF (1) . EDF Démász was sold in 2016. Dalkia has consolidated Tiru in its figures since 1 January 2017. Further details on the environmental 3.7.2.2 data The environmental data in this report are based on descriptive and methodological sheets. This is the Group’s standard for reporting in force in 2017. All of the indicators relating to consumption and emissions are linked to the electricity and heat generation data and to other processes related to these activities. Dalkia’s environmental indicators are reported over a sliding year, from 1 December N-1 to 30 November N. Further details on the indicators relating to water withdrawn and water returned Indicators on cooling water include water withdrawn and water returned to rivers, the sea and water tables. For nuclear power electricity plants located on coastlines and for thermal power plants, the amounts of cooling water withdrawn and water returned are calculated on the basis of the operating time and nominal debit of pumps. This indicator is not collected by EDF RE, a subsidiary of EDF Énergies Nouvelles in the United States, and some Edison sites (within the scope of Fenice).

Further details on air emissions Direct emissions CO 2 , SO 2 , N 2 O, NO x and CH 4

emissions from thermal power plants of the EDF group are measured or calculated on the basis of analyses of the fuels or based on standard emissions factors. As they are not significant, fleeting emissions of CO 2 and CH 4 from dams within the entity of the scope of consolidation are not included in the calculation the indicator. The Group’s SF 6 emission are calculated, in priority on the basis of a mass balance or, otherwise, to a lesser extent, using an estimation method approved by Executive Management. GCC power plants outside EDF do not report dust emissions, which do not have a significant impact at the Group scale. MECO does not collect emissions of N 2 O and SF 6 , also without material impact at the scale of the Group. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) coefficients were updated for 2017 according to the recommendations of ADEME and GIEC (2) . They are 30 for CH 4 , 23,500 for SF 6 and 265 for N 2 O. Indirect emissions Every year, EDF establishes a greenhouse gas emission report for the scope of the Group. Le scope of the 2016 fiscal year covers all companies with direct emissions and consolidated financially by full consolidation. Within this scope, the direct and indirect emissions (scopes 1, 2 and 3) are calculated according to the principles of the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. Any indirect emissions relating to Group investments in non-consolidated assets were not included. The 2016 GHG report enabled us to identify the significant information items adopted for the 2017 fiscal year. In 2016, the two items representing the highest contributions to GHG emissions are: direct emissions of CO 2 of 47.7 million tonnes (38% of total emissions) and indirect emissions associated with the combustion of gas sold to our end-customers (38% of total emissions).

The last environmental report by Polish companies was dated 31/10/2017. Given the representativeness of certain indicators for the Group consolidated figures, an estimate for (1) values at 13/11/2017 was made. This estimate is based on a linear extrapolation, weighted by the growth of generation observed between the two dates. The latest figures

reported were used for the indicators not correlated with generation. 5 th report from the IPCC (2013): http://www.ecoinvent.org/database/. (2)
