Orano - Annual Activity Report 2025 103 RISK CONTROL AND VIGILANCE PLAN 3 Vigilance plan Risk prevention The group respects the right of its employees to form a union and promotes ongoing dialogue and collaboration with their various representatives. In France, regular meetings are organized between management and employee representatives in accordance with the national regulations in force. Outside France, relations and negotiations with employee representative bodies are organized in accordance with local laws and practices. Within Orano Mining, the mandatory annual negotiations are organized as follows: ● in Canada, at the McClean Lake site, a collective agreement “Canadian Labor Standards Acts” covers workers, technicians, and employees who have joined the signatory unions, in accordance with the legal provisions applicable locally. It was renegotiated in 2025 for a period of three years (August 2025May 2028); ● in Mongolia, an agreement covering all employees was renewed for two years (December 2024-December 2026); ● in Kazakhstan, a collective agreement covering all employees is in place for a period of three years (December 2024-December 2027); ● in Namibia, Orano employees have statutory and contractual benefits. Special committees, made up of members of management and employees, are set up to discuss issues and the effectiveness of pension funds and provident schemes. Furthermore, and in accordance with the terms of its Code of Ethics, Orano expects its suppliers to offer their employees freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining. Prevention of the risk of displacement of local communities Description of the risk The development of the group’s projects, particularly in the context of its mining activities, could potentially result in the displacement of local populations. Risk prevention Orano Mining is committed to avoiding the involuntary physical or economic displacement of families and communities, and to applying, when displacement is unavoidable, the mitigation hierarchy and implementing actions or remedies that address residual adverse effects to restore or improve livelihoods and standards of living of displaced populations. As part of its mining activities, Orano Mining has not, to its knowledge, caused the displacement of a population against their wishes. Prevention of the risk related to the importation of tungsten Description of the risk The importation of tungsten originating from conflict-affected or high-risk areas presents risks due to its potential role in financing armed groups, contributing to human rights abuses, or supporting other illicit activities. Risk prevention In accordance with European Regulation 2017/821 on the due diligence requirement for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten importers, Orano Med, as an occasional importer of tungsten, published in August 2025 its policy regarding the supply chain for minerals and metals potentially from conflict-affected and highrisk areas (available on the Orano website www.orano.group). Orano Med commits to the following due diligence principles: ● establish a traceability and transparency system to detect the origin of the minerals used, particularly tungsten; ● conduct, as necessary, independent audits of suppliers to ensure compliance with the group’s responsible sourcing requirements as well as ethical and environmental standards. 3.4.2.4 Measures governed by ongoing dialogue between the group and its stakeholders Orano’s action is supported by ongoing dialogue with stakeholders in France and abroad. These exchanges take place through various modes of interaction, including participation in discussion forums, visits of industrial sites, participation in supplier associations, meetings, local sessions and national debates, etc. In France for example, the group is a member of the High Committee for Transparency and Information on Nuclear Safety (HCTISN) and actively contributes to its work. It also took part in consultation meetings as part of the French national radioactive waste and materials management plan (PNGMDR). The Stakeholders’ Panel In 2021, the group set up a Stakeholders’ Panel, chaired by the Chairman of the Board of directors. The aim of this committee, which has an advisory role, is to provide the Company’s management with the perspective of external observers on the group’s social, societal, and environmental responsibility. Its missions include, among other things, examining how to include Corporate Social Responsibility in the group’s strategy, conveying stakeholders’ expectations with regards to the group, proposing areas for improvement and strategic adjustments, and, where appropriate, issuing opinions on strategies and actions implemented or to be implemented. The committee is made up of volunteers from outside the group, chosen based on their respective skills and areas of expertise. In 2025, the Stakeholders’ Panel met twice, including once to discuss ways to discuss with local communities the impacts of the group’s projects. The Stakeholders’ Panel also met at the Orano Malvési site in April 2025 to discuss the themes of “Local acceptance of the site’s projects” and “Social climate”.
