SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY

3. Societal information
The process of listing, evaluating and following up suppliers and subcontractors is
based on a principle of proportionality to the challenges.
AREVA’s contracts are thus divided into three categories as a function of the risk level
and based on prior risk analysis called “hazards analysis”. The analysis is filled in for
any contract involving intervention at a site and requirements concerning protected
interests, before the technical specifier drafts the requirements.
The level of the activity’s risk determines the list of suppliers invited to bid and
the measures to be taken for contract follow-up and operational supervision to
ensure the control of subcontractor health, safety, environment and sustainable
development requirements.
AREVA also strengthened the best-offer principle in its bid selection process in
accordance with the roll-out of the social specifications. Criteria for covering risk
prevention aspects and labor aspects were introduced in the bid evaluation process.
In practice, technical bids determined tomeet the express of requirements undergo
a quantified assessment based on a relative weight of 40% or more depending on
the technical criteria and 10% based on risk prevention and working conditions
criteria.
The criteria adopted for risk prevention and working conditions are:
p
the accident frequency rate for years n-1 and n-2;
p
assessments of supplier services for years n-1 and n-2;
p
the ratio of training to payroll for years n-1 and n-2;
p
the industrial scheme proposes with the volume and level of subcontracting
planned.
In addition, in view of the reorganization of the group and the function, which will
have an impact on subcontracting, AREVA began strengthening its communications
to its suppliers and service providers back in 2015. In addition to local Supplier
Days organized by the operating entities, the Supply Chain Department organized a
Supplier Convention with the sponsorship of senior management. The convention
was held on December 10, 2015 at AREVA Tower. It gathered together a hundred
of the group’s suppliers as well as members of the ExCom, senior executive vice
presidents of the Business units and Supply Chain representatives.
