METHODOLOGY
Reference base:
The measurement methods used for environmental, social
and safety indicators and the related reporting procedures are documented in a
measurement and reporting procedure entitled “AREVA sustainable development
and continuous improvement”. This protocol, which is updated each year, is
provided to anyone, at any level, involved in developing and reporting data.
Tools used:
Dedicated software − STAR for environmental indicators, AHEAD for
safety, and POLYPHEME for social data − are used to report the indicators presented
in Section 17 and in Appendix 3.
Internal controls:
The data reported by the sites are subject to checks of
consistency by site managers and HSE managers of the Business Units.
Independent verification:
The group had an independent third-party organization
verify its key environmental, social and societal performance indicators. The scope
of this verification was defined for the 42 categories of information identified in

these regulations, the verifications concern the consolidated social, environmental
and societal data presented in Section 6 of the Management Report. The data

independent third-party report is presented below in this Appendix 4.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SELECTED INDICATORS
