POSITIVE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK FOR THE UPSTREAM VALUE CHAIN

Orano’s economic outlook is good and predictable, with strong involvement of local companies (companies of all sizes, industrial facilities, etc .). The positive outlook for Orano will contribute to the development of the industrial sector and the economic fabric of the regions in which the group operates, within fi ve years. Orano’s policy is to build long-term, balanced and virtuous relationships with its suppliers. The group may face unavailability of suppliers (in terms of deadlines, skills or human resources) to meet its operational needs or failures in subcontracting. A strain on the availability of suppliers (investments, maintenance, etc .) could generate additional costs for investment programs, and delay the group’s production for fi ve years. The consequences would be an unfavorable impact on the group’s results and cash flows. Orano has implemented a Responsible Purchasing policy aimed at building balanced and virtuous long-term relationships with its suppliers and making it possible to secure critical supplies.
