Some indicators required by the CSRD Directive are published from the 2024 financial year. As the “Quantity of water stored” indicator is available for the first time, the “Change in water stored” indicator is not available for this financial year. Methodological precision: The volumes of water reported by the sites are generally obtained by readings on the meters in place, in particular for the volumes drawn, which make it possible to deduce the volume of water consumed. In some cases, estimates are required, for example for the volumes of recycled, reused or stored water. For the 2024 financial year, the water volumes of the Niger subsidiaries were estimated on the basis of 2023 data and production at November 30, 2024. All volumes include the McClean at 100% as described in the scope of consolidation and deviations from the rules of the CSRD. This inclusion increases the group’s consumption. Water consumption includes that of Orano’s independent subcontractors whose activity is on-site and entirely dedicated to Orano. Water consumption (OECD definition): this is the quantity of water consumed specifically for the site’s needs, which implies a quantitative reduction in the resource (consumption in processes, products, waste, by employees, by an evaporation system and all losses) and/or qualitative (physical and chemical degradation). Water consumption (CDP - ICMM definition): this is the quantity of water consumed specifically for the site’s needs, which implies a quantitative reduction in the resource (consumption in processes, products, waste, by employees, by an evaporation system, and all losses) and that is not discharged to surface water/ groundwater or that is not sent to a third party for treatment (e.g., collective wastewater treatment plant) or consumption (e.g., cities of Arlit and Akokan in Niger). The “Aqueduct” tool of the World Resources Institute’s water risk atlas (presence of sites in the High and Extremely High areas for the overall water risk data) makes it possible to define the areas subject to a water risk or high water stress. For 2024, the sites considered to be in an area subject to high water risk are: Nurlikum Mining, Orano Mining Namibia, Badrakh Energy, Cominak, Somaïr and Katco. For 2024, no site is located in an area of high water stress. As for GHG emissions, the intensity is calculated in relation to the share of turnover related to the activity (restated for exceptional items).
