Orano - Annual Activity Report 2024 8 1 PRESENTATION OF THE ORANO GROUP Contribute to key global issues Through its action, Orano wishes to contribute to the three major societal challenges of the fight against global warming, the preservation of natural resources, and health. This contribution is part of a context of increasing global electricity needs, exacerbated by the objective of carbon neutrality by 2050 set by the European Union. 1.2 Contribute to key global issues HEALTH In a world faced with the climate emergency, the transition to low-carbon activities is essential. Thanks to its actions to limit its own emissions and to its expertise encompassing the entire fuel cycle, Orano is positioning itself as a key player in this transition, offering a competitive and accessible energy with a very low carbon footprint. The responsible management of raw material is a crucial challenge. With industrially tried-and-tested technologies, Orano processes and recycles the used nuclear fuel owned by electricity generation companies, helping to reduce the volume of waste and save materials. It is also using its expertise to extend recycling to other strategic materials, including those used in batteries. CLIMATE PRESERVATION OF RESOURCES helping to reduce very low carbon materials. THREE SOCIETAL CHALLENGES Through its actions, our group contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Industrialization and environmentally-friendly innovation Reliable energy at an affordable cost For safety, security, health and contribution to medical research Skills development in the territories Climate and carbon neutrality Preservation of natural resources and waste reduction Orano is exploring new fields of activity for the benefit of society. One of these is nuclear medicine: making the most of the unique properties of nuclear materials, the group is developing innovative solutions such as the production of isotopes for use in anticancer treatments and medical research.
