Orano - Annual Activity Report 2024 116 4 SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT Societal and environmental challenges at the heart of the strategy ● the Performance Director, a member of the Executive Committee, manages the Purchasing Policy, including the Responsible Purchasing topics; ● the Risk, Compliance, & Internal Audit Director, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, oversees the ethics program, the fight against corruption and influence peddling, and the risk mapping process, including non-financial risks; and ● the Chief Legal Officer, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, coordinates the group’s duty of vigilance and actions on human rights. Each Director chairs one or more operational committees that bring together the competencies necessary for reflection, monitoring actions and making proposals for changes to the Executive Committee. All of these committees ensure compliance with the guiding principles that the group intends to comply with, as stated in its Code of Ethics. Each department coordinates an operational network within the business units and central departments. This governance is supplemented by other Committees and networks: Quality, Operational Excellence, Protection, Innovation, R&D, Strategy, which steer or contribute to societal and environmental actions. Specific policies that support the group’s sustainability ambitions In addition to the Code of Ethics and the corporate project, Orano implements specific policies in the following areas, reflecting the group’s ambitions: ● a Nuclear and Industrial Safety – Health – Occupational Safety – Radiation protection – Environment Policy (HSE) 2024-2026; ● agreements and guidelines in the areas of diversity and inclusion, competencies, quality of life at work and social dialogue; ● an anti-corruption and fight against influence peddling policy; In 2024, the group approved two new policies: a Responsible Purchasing policy and a Human Rights policy. It also adopted a new Nature strategy. All of these policies are approved by the Executive Committee. Their appropriation and application is verified by the group’s internal control department, internal audit, or the General Inspectorate in terms of nuclear safety. They cover the topics of duty of vigilance. Other policies (quality, protection, etc.) complete the group’s actions.
