Orano - Annual Activity Report 2025 227 SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT 4 Social and societal information ● the group’s participation in an assessment of the corporate safety culture thanks to the WANO network (World Association of Nuclear Operators), of which Orano is a member. This assessment was carried out on the basis of best practices implemented in the nuclear industry and resulted in the definition of a long-term roadmap; ● cross-functional action in terms of visible and impactful field managerial presence; ● the review and standardization of the group’s business continuity plans in order to better integrate the variety of initiating events. In 2026, the group will roll out the safety culture roadmap, particularly in terms of field presence. 2025 IN ACTION Visible and impactful field managerial presence Orano has chosen field presence as a priority theme for 2025. A diagnostic phase carried out with managers in the field identified the main obstacles and conditions for success in having a visible and impactful managerial presence on a daily basis. It led to the distribution of a guide, drafted crossfunctionally with the operational entities, which will be rolled out in 2026. It summarizes: ● the obstacles generally encountered; ● the success factors to exceed them; ● the list of practices promoting an active presence in the field; ● inspiring examples of best practices, both internal and external.

It leads the development of feedback and coordinates the certification procedures for the group’s various entities Improving quality also involves the implementation of indicators to measure non-quality costs and the analysis of the major and/or recurring elements constituting them. This is aimed at reducing the number of these events as well as reducing their impact. A process for managing quality incidents and feedback is also in place as part of the prevention and fight against CFSI (counterfeit, falsified, or suspicious items), In 2025, priority was given to the following actions: ● professionalization of the supplier quality team; ● changes to the system for evaluating completed contracts and supplier ratings: supplier performance is now discriminated against on the areas of Safety-Quality-Cost-Delivery to include the most efficient suppliers in the panel, and to indicate the areas for expected improvement. 2025 IN ACTION Professionalization of the supplier qualification team Orano has decided to strengthen the qualification of its 450 suppliers subject to nuclear requirements. A dedicated team was set up to assess the supplier’s operational control and organization, necessary to rigorously meet the quality-safety requirements. This team also supports suppliers in the difficulties encountered in the qualification or implementation of contracts or services. Safety of products and services through quality control The quality of products and services is a key factor in the safety of the group’s customers and performance. Orano, a member of GIFEN, is committed to the desire to advance the French nuclear industry. As part of its 2024-2026 Quality policy, Orano therefore undertakes to: ● learn from our operating feedback to strengthen our quality culture and improve performance; ● commit to satisfying customers in terms of quality-cost-delivery performance and without compromising nuclear safety; and ● make Orano’s interests and those of its suppliers converge more closely to better control our supplies and subcontracting.
