Orano - Annual Activity Report 2025 177 SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT 4 Environmental information TOOLS AND APPROACH FOR LEAP ANALYSIS Sub-topics Sub-sub-topics Tools and approach LEAP stage concerned Contribution to the five pressure factors Land-use change, freshwater-use change and sea-use change Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) (except seas) Evaluate and Analyze Overexploitation of natural resources Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) (for water) Evaluate and Analyze Climate change Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) Evaluate and Analyze Pollution Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) Evaluate and Analyze Invasive alien species Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) Evaluate and Analyze Impacts on the state of species Population sizes Analysis restricted to certain activities according to their presence in the value chain Evaluate and Analyze Species extinction risk RED list tool Localize and Evaluate Impact on endangered species RED list tool Localize and Evaluate Impacts on the extent and condition of ecosystems Land degradation, desertification, waterproofing, other Database of protected areas Deduction made via the pressures identified with the Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) Localize and Evaluate Impacts on ecosystem services Assimilation of impacts on ecosystem services with impacts on ecosystems Evaluate and Analyze Dependencies on ecosystem services GBS Dependencies (to come) Evaluate and Analyze The work carried out has thus led to the identification of a material risk directly related to the “land-use change” issue. Other IROs identified, associated with dependencies on regulating services (climate and water) or contributions to climate, water, and pollution pressure factors, are dealt with directly in these Sections and are not included here (Sections 4.2.1, 4.2.1 and 4.2.4). The other challenges specific to biodiversity (invasive alien species, impacts on the state of species, impacts on the extent and condition of ecosystems) are non-material. MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES RELATED TO LAND-USE CHANGE Type Impact, Risk and Opportunity Localization in the value chain and time horizon LAND-USE CHANGE [E4] FUTURE RISK RISK OF ADDITIONAL COSTS OR RESTRICTIONS RELATED TO BIODIVERSITY AND NATURE PROTECTION OWN OPERATIONS, UPSTREAM, DOWNSTREAM IRO Strengthening regulations aimed at preserving biodiversity may lead to restrictions on operations or permits. The group may be exposed to financial risks due to increasingly stringent regulations and/or requirements for nature protection, including rehabilitation, or reputational damage in the event of damage to biodiversity. Description Orano operates in biodiversity-sensitive areas or close to sensitive areas. Within 10 years, stricter regulations aimed at preserving biodiversity and ecosystems could change the group’s operating conditions and therefore its costs and revenue.
