CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION [E1] PROVEN NEGATIVE IMPACT
OWN OPERATIONS, UPSTREAM
IMPACT OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS ON CLIMATE CHANGE The group’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, like those of others, contribute to global warming. Orano’s activities (mining, enrichment, project execution) have a signi fi cant carbon footprint in the overall footprint per kWh of nuclear origin. Orano is implementing a transition plan to reduce its carbon footprint.

PROVEN POSITIVE IMPACT
CONTRIBUTION OF NUCLEAR TO THE FIGHT AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING
IRO
Nuclear energy is a low-carbon energy and contributes to the fi ght against climate change. The kWh of nuclear origin have a very favorable carbon footprint compared to other means of electricity production, enabling customers and end consumers to decarbonize their activities. This is favorable to Orano’s activities and its value chain over a ten-year period.

FUTURE RISK RISK OF INADEQUACY OF THE TRANSITION PLAN
IRO
An insuf fi cient transition plan could generate fi nancial and commercial risks.
A GHG emissions reduction trajectory that is not aligned with external expectations may generate fi nancial or commercial risks over the next 10 years. This would result in limited debt and investment fi nancing capacity, a fall in earnings due to higher fi nancing rates, taxes on greenhouse gas emissions, a potential loss of revenue, a loss of attractiveness, etc .

FUTURE OPPORTUNITY
OPPORTUNITY FOR NUCLEAR DEVELOPMENT AND THE GROUP’S ACTIVITIES
The signi fi cant contribution of nuclear energy to climate change mitigation objectives can promote the development of nuclear energy and new nuclear technologies such as multi recycling, reprocessing uranium, innovative fuels, reduced waste toxicity, molten salt reactors, etc. Mitigation policies are partly based on the electri fi cation of uses and the transition to low-carbon energies, including nuclear. This will bene fi t the group’s revenue growth over the next 10 years.
