In addition, convinced that the effectiveness of social dialogue depends on the quality and relevance of the information sent to employee representatives, a Social, Economic and Environmental Database (BDESE) has been set up to communicate all the necessary data for elected representatives (agreement on the BDESE signed on January 10, 2019). Consultation and decision-making Consulting the Social and Economic Committee is an essential process for obtaining the opinion of elected representatives before making final decisions in the Company. In accordance with French law, Orano consults the elected employee members of the staff in the scope concerned (entity, company, group) on the general operation of the Company or on any major project before making a final decision. Each institution and company with a Social and Economic Committee follows the information-consultation principle. Three consultations are recurring, and are presented each year, while others are ad hoc. The three annual consultations focus on the following topics: ● the Company’s strategic guidelines: at Orano, the strategic guidelines are group guidelines and are presented by its Chief Executive Officer accompanied by the group’s Director of Strategy. This consultation takes place before the Group Works Council (see below); ● economic and financial position; and ● social policy, working conditions and employment. In addition to these three recurring consultations, the Social and Economic Committee is consulted on any major collective project having consequences on the working conditions of the Company’s employees. In addition, at Orano, without prejudice to the prerogatives conferred by law on employee representative bodies (“IRP”), the group’s Executive Management may meet, on an ad hoc basis and as needed, the group labor union coordinators and the Secretary of the Group Committee. The purpose of this meeting is to deal with national and general issues or topics. These meetings are intended, under the seal of confidentiality, to allow a prior exchange in a restricted and informal setting on the challenges and outlook for the development of the group’s activities, in particular when the economic, commercial, legal and regulatory constraints of confidentiality do not allow immediate information to be sent to the bodies within the group.
