APPENDIX 3
SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY
A3
Ever since its creation, AREVA has given impetus to a proactive sustainable
development initiative by making strong commitments in matters of social,
environmental and societal responsibility. These commitments are deployed and
periodically updated through the policies that the group implements in a number of
areas – human resources, diversity, nuclear safety, health, occupational safety and
the environment – as well as through the Code of Ethics. These different policies and
codes help organize the company’s operations in compliance with human rights and
in the interest of environmental protection and the laws that govern them. AREVA’s
efforts target continuous performance improvement in every field, particularly
nuclear and occupational safety, and take into consideration the expectations of
stakeholders directly or indirectly concerned by the group’s operations.
AREVA participates in the United Nations Global Compact and reaffirms its
commitment for its operations under COP 21:
p
reduce industrial emissions of carbon dioxide (CO
2
) in AREVA’s nuclear fuel
cycle facilities by 50% by 2020 compared to 2004;
p
reduce the total energy used in all of AREVA’s facilities by at least 80% by 2020
compared to 2004;
p
offer its customers the possibility of reducing their CO
2
emissions by building
new nuclear reactors, improving their availability, and extending the operating
period of existing reactors.
AREVA is also continuing its proactive continuous improvement initiative in the
mining sector based on the best international practices for corporate social
responsibility, in particular through the International Council on Mining and Metals
(ICMM).
