Orano - Annual Activity Report 2025 222 4 SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT Social and societal information The group does not directly solicit the workers in its value chain. In terms of workplace safety, the group interacts with the employees of external companies involved in its operations in order to ensure the consistent treatment in terms of prevention described in Section 4.3.1.2 Aiming for the highest standards in Health – Occupational Safety – Radiation protection. The group’s whistleblowing mechanism, which allows any individual to submit a complaint, and how to access it, are described in Section 4.4.1.3. The group has not currently assessed the level of knowledge or trust of its suppliers with regard to its whistleblowing mechanism. 4.3.3 Being engaged and responsible locally in the regions where Orano operates [S3] 4.3.3.1 IROs related to affected communities As a long-term player in the regions where it operates, the group is vigilant about the impacts of its activities on the communities surrounding its facilities. Orano ensures their health and safety, their proper information and the sharing of value. The group includes affected communities such as: ● local residents living around the group’s operations and their representatives (elected officials, associations, etc.); and ● the operating regions and, in particular, the economic fabric on which the operations depend (suppliers and subcontractors, local-development employment players). For its materiality analysis and the identification of Impacts, Risks and Opportunities (IRO), Orano relied on its existing mapping (risks, vigilance), the knowledge of its experts, and existing studies (impact studies, specific studies, etc.), as well as interviews with 150 stakeholders, as described in Section 4.1.5.2 Double materiality analysis methodology. For the analysis of the affected communities, the group relied heavily on interviews conducted in its regions of operation. The issue of indigenous peoples’ rights is not material (for more information, see Section 4.1.5.4).
