Orano - Annual Activity Report 2024 228 4 SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT Social and societal information Objective 2025 Indicators (GRI 416-1) ESRS Reference 2019 2022 2023 2024 Progress Aim for the highest standards in safety and the environment with Zero INES 2, an SPR <1 and an IRPR < 5 INES event Level 2 or higher (France) Entity specific 0 0 0 0 INES event Level 1 (France) Entity specific 7 2 6 2 INES event Level 0 (France) Entity specific 132 120 122 138 Safety Prevention Rate (SPR) Entity specific n/a n/a n/a 0.5 Industrial Risks Prevention Rate (IRPR) Entity specific n/a n/a n/a 3.6 Number of ISO 9001 certified sites Entity specific n/o 20 20 20 Internal inspections carried out by the General Inspectorate Entity specific 59 71 62 57 n/a: not applicable, n/o: not obtainable. The SPR and IRPR indicators are introduced in 2024 by the HSE policy for 2024-2026. Methodological clarification: Safety and radiation protection event prevention rate (SPR): the SPR is the ratio of (1+ number INES ≥ 1) over (number INES 0 + number of significant events); and Industrial safety and environment event prevention rate (IRPR): the IRPR is the ratio of (1 + number ASSESS ≥ 2) over (number ASSESS 0 + number ASSESS 1). 4.3.3.3 Stakeholder dialogue and engagement Due to the longevity of its activities, Orano considers itself a longterm partner for its operating regions. Dialogue with communities around our operations and commitment to local projects are a condition of acceptance of activities and the group’s desire to get involved. The group’s priorities focus on: ● participation in community dialogue bodies; ● involvement in local projects; and ● the deployment of a partnership policy. Policy and actions in terms of dialogue and societal commitment Transparency and dialogue with the group’s stakeholders in France Orano participates in dialogue bodies and committees with its stakeholders. In France, for example, the group is a member of the High Committee for Transparency and Information on Nuclear Safety (HCTISN) and actively contributes to its work. It also took part in consultation meetings as part of the French national radioactive waste and materials management plan (PNGMDR). Through its sites, the group is also a stakeholder in local information commissions (“commissions locales d’information” or LICs). These bodies are responsible for relaying information to the populations located near nuclear sites. The LICs, which meet several times a year, are an important information structure for the site’s activities. During these meetings, numerous presentations are made in the presence of the media (press, radio, etc.). Each LIC also holds an annual public meeting. In 2023, for example, the Tricastin meeting addressed the issue of the impact of climate change on its activities. The LICs are also involved in public surveys to issue an opinion on the projects presented. The equivalent exists for all industrial chemical plants known as “high threshold SEVESO.” Replacing the Local Information and Consultation Committee (LICC), the purpose of the Site Monitoring Commission is to provide information to the public regarding the activities of the facility. Some sites also participate in Site Monitoring Committees. This is notably the case for the Malvési site in the Aude department. Dialogue mechanisms around our mining sites In each country where Orano Mining operates, information, dialogue, and consultation bodies are systematically set up and coordinated around the sites, in particular in the form of LICs (Local Information Commissions), SMCs (Site Monitoring Commissions), and visits. In France, a CartOmines web application provides the public with information on the monitoring of redeveloped former mining sites. Two websites have also been created to inform the public about the remediation projects of the former BoisNoirs Limouzat and Bauzot mining sites. In 2024, more than 30 local information commissions were held particularly in Canada, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Niger and France. In Canada, information meetings are regularly organized for local residents. These meetings provide an opportunity to update the activity of the McClean Lake plant, current exploration projects, and to present new techniques, such as the SABRE method or SRI, that will be used to operate certain future mining deposits. In Mongolia, Orano Mining, through its subsidiary Badrakh Energy, has organized more than 1,500 visits for local populations as well as teachers, students, and journalists, since the start of the Zuuvch Ovoo pilot.
