PRESENTATION OF EDF GROUP Description of the Group's activities

For sustainable cities and regions 1.4.2.2.3 Energy developments for cities and regions are now naturally associated with sustainable development objectives: environmental impact, local economic activity and poverty constitute major preoccupations for local. Customer data protection 1.4.2.2.4 The protection of data belonging to EDF customers is a major component of the Customer Department's action plan to secure assets/goods and information systems. Measures taken under the plan are presented every year to suppliers' governance bodies. Special care is taken to make data processing compliant with regulations, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and to raise awareness among employees in general and entity managers in particular. For example 12 awareness initiatives were conducted in 2017 and 19 executives in the Customer Department received personal assistance. Over a dozen vulnerability reviews were carried out in 2017 and security acceptance tests were regularly conducted to test for critical vulnerabilities in customer applications. Outsourced services likewise underwent a specific risk analysis. Customer data are protected by means of specific measures. Advisers are regularly given instructions on how to keep data safe. Every year an internal audit on the capacity of the information systems to securely host customer data is conducted. It ensures that only employees in charge of customer relations have access to customer data. Particular and deliberate care has also been taken to implement measures to reduce the number of customer complaints relating to data protection. Examples include “unsubscribe from all” links and regular analyses of customer feedback to identify areas of improvement and customer preferences. Public electricity distribution concessions 1.4.2.2.5 at regulated tariffs Concessions hereby referred to cover two distinct public service missions: the development and operation of public distribution networks, which are the ■ responsibility of Enedis in mainland France, excluding Local Distribution Companies (ELD) (see section 1.4.4.2 “Distribution – Enedis”) and of EDF in the non-interconnected areas (ZNI); the supply of electricity to customers benefiting from regulated sales tariffs ■ connected to the public distribution networks, under the responsibility of EDF for mainland France (excluding ELDs) and ZNIs. This mission is carried out in compliance with the commitments of the concession specifications and general terms and conditions of sale (subscription terms, payment and delivery terms, contractualisation, etc.). Each concession contract in continental metropolitan France is co-signed by EDF, Enedis and the licensing authority, and concerns a municipality or a grouping of municipalities. These public service missions are executed in the framework of 509 concession agreements of which 50 are at departmental level. Over the 2014-2017 period many concession agreements were negotiated and signed, in particular with the Seine-et-Marne and Vaucluse energy consortia, the Douaisis municipal association and the cities of Melun, Tours and Toulon. An amendment to its concession contract was signed on 14 April 2016 with the Sipperec syndicate, which gathers more than 100 local authorities in the greater Paris area, which notably extends the concession by 10 years. Several contractual negotiations were concluded in 2017, including with the Nice Côte d’Azur metropolis, the Grand Poitiers urban community, the Cher département (via its energy syndicate) and the town of Draguignan (Var département).
