Orano - Annual Activity Report 2024 221 SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT 4 Social and societal information 4.3.2.3 Targets and results related to workers in the value chain As part of its new Responsible Purchasing policy, the group’s objective is to have audited by 2030 100% of suppliers identified as presenting a risk of serious harm to the environment, health and safety or human rights. In 2024, two suppliers out of the 32 identified were subject to a specific review on these topics. As part of its HSE policy, Orano aims for a uniform level of prevention between employees and external companies in terms of health and safety at work. It has not set any target figures for results in this area. The results in terms of safety at work for external companies are detailed in Section 4.3.1.2. 4.3.2.4 Process for engaging with workers in the value chain Orano maintains relationships with its subcontractors and suppliers through business reviews at least once a year, questionnaires or surveys. In 2024, the group interviewed 100 suppliers through a questionnaire on their ESG practices and took part in the GIFEN “IDYLL” survey. The group also captures concerns through discussions within the professional associations in which it participates. The group does not directly solicit the workers in its value chain. In terms of workplace safety, the group interacts with the employees of external companies involved in its operations in order to ensure the consistent treatment in terms of prevention described in Section 4.3.1.2 Aiming for the highest standards in Health – Occupational Safety – Radiation protection. The group’s whistleblowing alert, enabling a complaint to be reported by any natural person and its accessibility are described in Section 4.4.1.3 . 4.3.3 Being engaged and responsible locally in the regions where Orano operates [S3] 4.3.3.1 IROs related to affected communities As a long-term player in the regions where it operates, the group is vigilant about the impacts of its activities on the communities surrounding its facilities. Orano ensures their health and safety, their proper information and the sharing of value. The group includes affected communities such as: ● local residents living around the group’s operations and their representatives (elected officials, associations, etc.); and ● the operating regions and in particular the economic fabric on which the operations depend (suppliers and subcontractors, local development employment players). For its materiality analysis and the identification of Impacts, Risks and Opportunities (IRO), Orano relied on its existing mapping (risks, vigilance), the knowledge of its experts and existing studies (impact studies, specific studies, etc.) as well as interviews with 150 stakeholders, as described in Section 4.1.5.2 Double materiality analysis methodology . For the analysis of the affected communities, the group relied heavily on interviews conducted in its regions of operation. The issue of indigenous peoples’ rights is not material (for more information, see Section 4.1.5.4).
