Methodological clarification: The events reported include events reported by Orano, as well as transport events reported by another operator of which Orano is the originator. Each event is counted only once. 4.3.3.3 Stakeholder dialogue and engagement Due to the longevity of its activities, Orano considers itself a longterm partner for its operating regions. Dialogue with communities around our operations and commitment to local projects are a condition of acceptance of activities and the group’s desire to get involved in its operating regions. The group’s priorities focus on: ● participation in community dialogue bodies; ● involvement in local projects; and ● the deployment of a partnership policy. Policy and actions in terms of stakeholder dialogue and engagement Transparency and dialogue with the group’s stakeholders in France Orano participates in dialogue bodies and committees with its stakeholders. 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). Through its sites, the group is also a stakeholder in local information commissions (“commissions locales d’information” or LICs). These bodies are responsible for relaying information to the populations located near nuclear sites. The LICs, which meet several times a year, are an important information structure for the site’s activities. During these meetings, numerous presentations are made in the presence of the media (press, radio, etc.). Each LIC also holds an annual public meeting. In 2023, for example, the Tricastin meeting addressed the issue of the impact of climate change on its activities. The LICs are also involved in public surveys to issue an opinion on the projects presented. The equivalent exists for all industrial chemical plants known as “high threshold SEVESO.” Replacing the local information and consultation committee (LICC), the purpose of the Site Monitoring Commission is to provide information to the public regarding the activities of the facility. Some sites also participate in site monitoring committees. This is notably the case for the Malvési site in the Aude department. Since 2023, Orano has led several public consultation processes on its major projects, in particular on the GB II capacity extension project or the Neomat program for recycling electric vehicle batteries in Dunkirk (France). 2025 IN ACTION Regional dialogue and public consultation of the Aval du Futur p rogram The 2025 news concerning the Aval du Futur program was marked by: ● the implementation of the internal governance of the program as well as the program’s governance bodies with EDF, the State and elected officials and economic players in the Manche region; ● the holding of a public information meeting on June 30, 2025 and the appointment by the National Commission for Public Debate of two guarantors to advise Orano ahead of the national public debate on the project, which is expected to take place in end-2027/early 2028.
