Orano - Annual Activity Report 2025 248 4 SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT Governance information Involve the value chain on societal and environmental impacts Orano wishes to engage its suppliers in its efforts toward sustainable development. For several years, Orano has included provisions concerning suppliers’ observance of this commitment in 100% of its contracts and general terms and conditions of purchase. Under the terms of this commitment, suppliers agree to promote respect for human rights, labor law (work standards, child labor, discrimination, working hours and minimum wage), and the environment, along with a nuclear safety and security system. Each supplier also agrees to make ongoing efforts toward progress in these areas, including corruption prevention, efforts which are taken into account when being listed as an Orano supplier. An integral part of all contracts signed with suppliers, the general terms and conditions of purchase (GTC) set out the obligations that the supplier must respect in terms of: ● workplace safety and protection of health; ● compliance with the environment and regulated substances (REACH regulation); and ● human rights and labor law. Non-compliance with these provisions may result in the termination of the contract or order. A structured Responsible Purchasing approach In 2024, Orano adopted a Responsible Purchasing policy structured around four areas: RESPONSIBLE PURCHASING POLICY STRATEGIC VISION: CORPORATE PURPOSE, VALUES, STRATEGIC AXIS AND COMMITMENTS CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT RESPONSIBLE PURCHASING POLICY Choosing partners committed to their employees’ fundamental rights, health, and safety AXIS 1 AXIS 2 Reducing the environmental impact of purchases AXIS 3 Building balanced and virtuous relationships with partners and contributing to the development of SMEs AXIS 4 Contributing to the development of the industrial sector as well as to the economies of the areas in which the group is active Source: Orano The group’s supply chain teams were made aware of this new policy when it was rolled out. Progress is made at least once a year in the executive committee and the audit and ethics committee. This policy encompasses quantitative objectives already mentioned in other parts of this document: ● on the climate, bring the 80 most emitting suppliers on board in the reduction of their emissions, representing 50% of the carbon footprint of upstream scope 3; ● by 2030, audit 100% of suppliers identified as presenting a risk of serious harm to the environment, health and safety or human rights; ● in regional economic development, making 80% of its purchases in Europe for its entities located in France and 50% in the other countries where it operates. As part of its Engagement roadmap for 2030, the group aims to have deployed 100% of the actions of its policy by 2030.
