Orano - Annual Activity Report 2025 216 4 SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT Social and societal information DEFINITIONS USED BY ORANO Diversity: Diversity here refers to all the individual and collective differences that characterize people in an organization or company. These differences may be visible, such as age, gender, ethnic or cultural origin, but also invisible, such as sexual orientation, religious beliefs, career paths or skills. Inclusion: Inclusion is the process and practice of creating an environment where each individual feels welcomed, respected, valued, and able to contribute fully, regardless of their differences. While diversity emphasizes differences, inclusion is about how to integrate these differences so that they are a strength. Equal opportunities: Equal opportunities is the principle according to which each individual, whatever their personal characteristics (gender, origin, family situation, disability, etc.), must benefit from the same options to access opportunities such as education, employment, responsibilities or promotion. Gender diversity: Gender diversity refers to the harmonious coexistence of different social categories in a given space. Often used in the context of gender, diversity aims to promote gender balance in sectors or functions where one of the two genders is historically underrepresented. Parity: Parity refers to strict and quantitative equality between two groups, generally between men and women, in a given context. It aims to ensure equal representation of both genders in areas where structural or historical inequalities have led to an under-representation of one of the two groups. Compliance with the principles of training and skills development is the responsibility of the Director of People & Communications (human resources and communication), member of the executive committee. Agreements were negotiated in France to drive a global and uniform policy, with local deployment through dedicated action plans for each entity. Orano has made commitments in terms of diversity and equal opportunity by concluding: ● the agreement to accelerate gender equality of April 21, 2023; ● the agreement for the development of skills and career paths and the strengthening of the group’s appeal of September 15, 2023; ● the agreement promoting the employment of persons with disabilities of December 18, 2023; and ● the agreement for the development of quality of life at work and working conditions of October 14, 2025. An active inclusive policy in favor of gender parity Orano is actively committed to guaranteeing equal treatment between women and men throughout their professional careers, in order to enable a growing number of women to access positions of greater managerial responsibility. This implementation is structured around five major areas: ● more women in recruitment pools and work-study programs; ● recruitment; ● career development; ● the compensation policy; and ● governance bodies. In 2025, the group rolled out a number of actions to promote gender diversity: ● on the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8, the Orano group organized a week of events to support women in their career development and encourage them to “Dare!”; ● as part of talent development, a meeting between established female talents and young female talents at the beginning of their careers allowed more than 110 female employees to share their career paths, their ambitions, but also the challenges they face; ● lastly, at the initiative of Orano Decommissioning and Services, an awareness-raising campaign against sexism and sexual harassment was widely distributed at its sites and was repeated in most entities in France. At end-2025, the group’s management committees comprised 32% of women (including 23% for the executive committee) vs. 31% in 2024. The group systematically highlights the female profiles of the technical tracks in its communications to set an example and encourage vocations. In France, Orano is involved in the promotion of the technical fields among female high school and college students, through a network of nearly 127 engineer ambassadors, of which nearly 40% are women. A structuring gender equality agreement Orano’s goal is to establish long-term conditions for genuine professional gender equality in all its business lines and at all levels of responsibility. In France, an agreement was signed for a period of four years from 2023 to 2027, signed unanimously by the labor unions and by the group’s Chief Executive Officer. This agreement aims to strengthen gender equality and equal opportunity policies through concrete measures. On the basis of the proactive objectives set by the agreement, and to better take into account local specifics, action plans have been defined at the facility level, in conjunction with employee representatives. The implementation of the agreement is monitored annually both nationally and at the level of the group’s entities in which it is deployed.
