Orano - Annual Activity Report 2025 231 SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT 4 Social and societal information A partnership policy aligned with the corporate purpose and a skills-based sponsorship program In line with the group’s commitment policy and its corporate purpose, the partnership policy implemented in 2022 is structured around three themes: low carbon and biodiversity, health and more specifically the fight against cancer, and innovation. To support this partnership policy, the group has set up a partnerships committee responsible for examining requests made to the Company or proposed by employees and for making decisions. Since 2022, Orano has been committed to “Team for the planet” and “CAMI Sport & Cancer”. In 2025, partnerships continued, focusing on the development of new projects around the preservation of biodiversity. Beyond partnerships, Orano wanted to encourage and promote the active participation of employees in the life of associations. In 2025, the scheme carried out 736 internal and external actions supporting the unemployed. The sponsorship program called O’Share launched in June 2022. gives each employee in France access to hours of skills sponsorship for the benefit of associations selected by the group. In addition to our main missions to promote the inclusion of people who are isolated from employment in France, other missions have been added in favor of education, for young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods, or to promote gender diversity in technical and scientific studies. To date, Orano has forged partnerships with a network of associations located in the Nord Cotentin, Sud-Est, Île-de-France and Limousin regions. In 2025, the scheme carried out 217 actions with 12 associations. Targets and results in terms of stakeholder dialogue and engagement The group aims for quality dialogue with the communities around its facilities and gets involved in local projects. However, the group has not set a target figure in this area. The group has not been the subject of any human rights complaints in this regard. 4.3.3.4 Promoting the economic development of operating regions Regional economic development policy and actions As a leading employer in the regions where it operates, the group is committed to creating value through its activities and actions. The group’s commitment is illustrated through: ● the preference for local purchases; ● support for local employment and skills development; and ● involvement in local bodies in terms of skills development and employment. These guidelines are defined in the Responsible Purchasing policy described in Section 4.4.1.6. Contributing to developing the regions around our operations through local purchasing In accordance with the Company’s values, Orano draws on its knowledge of the communities and local economic development agents to carry out actions suited to the priorities and specific needs of each employment area. The group supports professions experiencing shortages and projects led by small and medium-sized businesses in the manufacturing and industrial services sector, particularly in the nuclear industry, and attaches particular importance to the sustainability of the activities generated by those projects. Orano is extremely vigilant about the sustainability of the network of suppliers in the nuclear sector in France and about the development of skills. In line with its commitment approach, Orano ensures that most of its purchases are made at the national or local level. To support its development projects, Orano is stepping up its actions with companies in the regions where it operates. In 2025, the group held several meetings with its ecosystem of local suppliers, such as the “Partner’s day” in Orano la Hague. Committed to regional economic development structures Orano continues to be committed to local involvement through programs aimed at contributing to the appeal and economic development of the communities in which its sites are based. Orano’s main industrial sites are fully mobilized for their territories and the associated industrial fabric. Their management is involved in the economic or administrative structures of the territories (by sitting or being represented on the bureau of these structures). These are real forums for discussion with local economic players and enable issues and news to be shared throughout the year. Orano is involved in the local life around its operations in France and abroad in many ways. The management of Orano Tricastin is involved in the economic or administrative bodies of the region (by serving or being represented on board of these bodies), such as: the Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CCI) of Drôme and Vaucluse, the “Atout Tricastin” and CENOV (the Entrepreneurs du Nord Vaucluse) business clubs, business creation aid organizations: Réseau Entreprendre Drôme-Ardèche, the platform for local initiatives “Initiative Seuil de Provence Ardèche Méridionale” (ISPAM). Orano la Hague is a member of Normandie Énergies and vice-Chairman of the Nuclear Division, which contributes to the development of the nuclear industry in Normandy through several BtoB events such as RENNO (Rencontres de l’excellence nucléaire normande) and participation in the WNE (World Nuclear Exhibition). In addition, Orano la Hague is a member of numerous economic development organizations, such as Alize Manche, Normandie Incubation, and the Initiative Cotentin. The facility is also very involved alongside other industrialists in the region (EDF, Naval Group, CMN, LM Wind Power) in common interest actions such as developing the attractiveness of the industry for young people or the creation of HEFAÏS, the further education establishment for welding, based in the Cotentin and inaugurated in late 2022.
