PRESENTATION OF EDF GROUP Description of the Group's activities

Electriscore, an online platform, helps Internet users choose household appliances that minimize electricity consumption. Lastly, EDF is investing in open innovation with EDF Pulse&You, a digital collaborative platform for co-construction with customers and startups. Since its launch in March 2016, 6,000 Internet users have taken part in the development of innovative projects by testing new products. Earning of energy savings certificates (CEE) Where Residential customers are concerned, the production of the CEE results from the energy renovation of the home, essentially based on a network of “EDF Home Solutions Partners” (see also section 1.5.6.1 “General regulations that are applicable to the environment, health, safety and security”). All residential customers who made energy efficiency alterations to their home qualify for a direct cash bonus from EDF by visiting www.prime-energie.edf.fr and providing the information and documents required. This complements the CEEs issued by EDF with a first-ever direct model in addition to partnerships. Solidarity policy Solidarity is a core value of EDF, which has been pursuing a policy dedicated to economically disadvantaged customers for close to 30 years (see section 3.5.4 Together EDF Entreprises and EDF Collectivités have 1.6 million customers. Electricity sales in 2017 came to 172.7 at regulated sales tariffs or market prices and natural gas sales came to 17.1. and business customers EDF Entreprises supports businesses and professionals so as to contribute to their energy performance, in particular by helping them reduce their energy bills and participate in the energy transition. This action is at the core of the EDF group’s strategy, which favours in particular the development of energy services. EDF Entreprises' products EDF Entreprises provides businesses and professionals with competitive tailor-made electricity and gas supply offers. Offers are varied depending on customer expectations and consumption patterns. The electricity offers provided by EDF Entreprises enable small businesses, very small businesses and professionals to optimise their energy supply through simple contractual arrangements. They allow customers that consume more to choose the length of their commitment at the offered prices, depending on their needs in terms of budget visibility. Lastly, EDF Entreprises is able to tailor solutions for the heaviest users depending on the structure of their consumption. EDF Entreprises also offers its business customers guaranteed prices over three-year periods to enable them to plan ahead. EDF Entreprises structures its products to encourage its customers to optimise consumption according to generation costs by offering different prices at peak and off-peak hours and even summer and winter prices for heavier users during these times of year. EDF Entreprises offers all its customers across all its products the option to choose electricity from renewable sources to cover their consumption. For small and medium sized enterprises and professionals, it involves a specific offer, the renewable energy contract, which guarantees that 100% of their consumption will come from electricity generated from renewable energy sources and facilitates their communication with their own customers regarding their commitment. In addition, for every megawatt-hour billed, EDF will contribute one euro to fund renewable energy research projects or to develop new renewable energy electricity generation units. For larger customers, it involves an option that allows them to decide themselves what proportion of their consumption will come from guaranteed sources, between 20% and 100%. “Fight against energy poverty contribution”).
