The environmental and societal data in this document are based on methodological sheets. This was the Group’s standard for reporting in force in 2019. All of the indicators relating to consumption and emissions are linked to the electricity and heat generation and marketing data, and to other processes related to these activities.
If data are missing, particularly during the last days of the year, estimates are made on the basis of the best information available at that date.
Dalkia’s environmental indicators in relation to energy are consolidated over a sliding year, from 1 December N-1 to 30 November N. Other indicators are reported over year N.
EDF group scope 1 emissions (CO2 equivalent) are comprised of direct emissions of CO2, N2 O, CH4, SF6 and other minor emissions, estimated based on the full GHG report for year N-1, i.e. 0.57Mt of CO2 e (approx. 1.6% of scope 1) in 2018. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) coefficients were updated for 2019 based on the most recent reference from the latest IPCC report (see 5th IPCC report: www.ecoinvent.org/database). They are 30 for CH4, 23,500 for SF6 and 265 for N2 O. The scope covers the Group.
The indicator is the ratio of the direct CO2 emissions of electricity and heat generating plants to their related generation. The scope covers the Group.
The indicator takes account of net consolidated installed electricity generating capacities. The scope covers the Group.
The indicator takes account of the total number of smart meters installed (set up) on 31 December of the fiscal year. This total includes all meters installed since the start of the smart meter deployment programme. The Group’s only entities with this activity are Enedis, SEI, EDF Energy and the International Division. For this indicator, these entities then cover the entire Group.
The indicator is the ratio of the number of electric vehicles (according to the EV 100 initiative low-carbon criteria)(2) to the total number of vehicles in the EDF group’s registered light vehicle fleet. From 2026, light emergency service vehicles following a major climate event will, in accordance with the EV 100 initiative, be deducted from the total number of EDF group vehicles. The uncertainty of this indicator is calculated to be +/-0.5 points. This is linked to the current precision of the total Light Vehicle fleet count. However, this precision was higher in 2019 than it had been in 2018, when it was 0.7 points. The scope covers the Group.
This indicator counts the number of customer visits on digital consumption monitoring platforms The scope covers EDF (excluding French overseas departments and Corsica) given that the deployment of digital platforms in French overseas departments and regions has not been finalised.
The indicator is the percentage of projects worth more than €50 million, with a significant impact on regions or the environment, examined at Executive Committee Commitment Committee meetings during the fiscal year, and on which there was consultation in accordance with the Equator Principles. The scope covers the Group.
The indicator takes account of the number of cases of support provided to any customers experiencing difficulties. This support is intended to assess the situation and propose the most appropriate solutions. The scope covers France where the activity concerns two entities: EDF and ÉS.
The indicator is the ratio of the executives who have completed the anti-corruption training programme to the Group’s total number of executives. This is cumulative data, which has been recorded since June 2016. Executives, for EDF, are staff included in categories D1, D2, and D3 as well as members of the Executive Committee and, for subsidiaries, members of general management. An executive is considered to have completed the anti-corruption training programme when they have received the certificate for this course (certifying that the full training programme has been completed). The scope covers the Group.
The indicator is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the annual volume of procurement by EDF SA and Enedis from SMEs located in France, to the annual volume of total procurement in France by EDF SA and Enedis.
SMEs are identified based on INSEE (French National Institute of Statistics & Economic Studies) categories, stipulating that an SME (Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprise) has fewer than 250 staff and annual turnover not exceeding €50 million.
Suppliers are ranked in the SME category by a service provider that EDF tasks with analysing the supplier list, checking that these SMEs are not controlled above 25% by a Big Business or by an MMC.
The scope covers France, where the SMEs’ locations are certified based on their French company registration number (SIREN).
The indicator concerns the number of level-2 major events on the INES (International Nuclear Event Scale). The scope covers the Group.
The indicator concerns solid waste from the active nuclear generating fleet. In France, the indicator covers long-lived high- and intermediate-level waste. In the UK, the indicator covers low-level waste (only category of radioactive waste transported off generation sites). The scope covers the Group where radioactive waste-related activities concern: EDF, Framatome and EDF Energy.
The indicator on the assessment of knowledge of the ecological quality of land is the ratio of the area of sites that have been surveyed (by an inspection firm or other specialist organisation) to the total area of sites (assets under majority control in the financial sense). In 2019, the scope covers EDF, EDF Energy, PEI, Edison, Luminus, Norte Fluminense, Framatome and Cyclife. In 2020, the scope was extended to EDF Renewables’s French solar parks. Regarding SEI, it is not possible to define a submerged area, because this low-height dam in a tropical environment is comprised of more or less submerged islands and islets varying from season to season, with a heavy rainy season. The 2018 and 2017 figures were recalculated based on the 2019 scope. The 2019 scope covers the Group, except for SEI and EDF Renewables.
(1) Direct CO2 emissions, excluding life cycle analysis of generation plants and fuel.
(2) 100% electric battery-powered vehicle, rechargeable hybrid vehicle with an electrical range of at least 50km, vehicle equipped with a range extender with an electrical range of 50km, hydrogen vehicle.
