SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT Societal and environmental challenges at the heart of the strategy

● the inclusion of non- fi nancial criteria in the pro fi t-sharing agreements of certain entities. In 2024, a criterion relating to the commitment to skills-based sponsorship was included in the pro fi t-sharing of Orano Support. These criteria are also incorporated into decision-making and action processes, in addition to compensation schemes. In particular: ● the group’s investment and acquisition projects presented to the Corporate Governance Committee must demonstrate their relevance to the group’s business plan and the achievement of its objectives; ● the management of assets associated with end-of-lifecycle obligations is subject to a non- fi nancial and climate assessment carried out by an external fi rm; and ● 10% of the selection process for suppliers and calls for proposals includes societal and environmental criteria. 4.1.2.4 Due diligence statement Orano is subject to French Law No. 2017-399 of March 27, 2017 on the duty of vigilance of parent companies and ordering companies. As such, the group publishes in Section 3.4 a duty of vigilance plan containing the expected due diligence information, consistent with the sustainability statement.

4.1.2.3 Sustainability results integrated in the processes and incentive schemes This Commitment roadmap and policies are now applied in all of the group’s processes. Since 2021, this alignment has been reflected in incentive schemes, for example through: ● the implementation of certain actions and the achievement of the Commitment roadmap objectives are integrated (up to a minimum of 7.5%) into the variable compensation criteria of 3,200 eligible managers. In 2024, these criteria include the identi fi cation of actions related to energy performance, which itself contributes to the reduction of scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, the number of women on Management Committees and the implementation of climate change adaptation plans in the group’s entities; ● the 2024 variable compensation of the Chief Executive Of fi cer includes objectives in terms of greenhouse gas reduction, occupational safety and structuring around Vigilance and Responsible Purchasing (see Section 5.2.1.3 for more details);

An internal audit on the process of consolidating sustainability information will be included in the audit program for subsequent years.

These are responsible for the implementation of requirements, the production of documentation, the coordination of the networks, the annual collection of information, its veri fi cation and the proper completion of the audit of the sustainability information.
