The indicator is the ratio of water consumed to the Group’s total electrical generation. Water consumption for heat generation and other Group activities is taken into account to calculate the indicator. Their negligible quantity (< 0.1%) is not sufficient to change the indicator value. The scope covers the Group.
The trainings for which supporting documentation are not received on the date of closure of the report are not taken into account.
The number of training hours includes the hours spent in class for staff on vocational training contracts. For 2019, hours spent at school by trainees on professionalisation contracts were not reported by Framatome.
The indicator is calculated by finding the ratio of the number of employees having completed training to the actual workforce at the end of the period. The scope covers the Group.
The Management Committee is a decision-making body that meets one of the following criteria:
Members of more than one Executive Committee within one subsidiary, or members of both a subsidiary’s Executive Committee and an EDF group Executive Committee are only counted once.
This indicator is calculated by finding the ratio of the number of women on Executive Committees to the number of people on the Executive Committees. The scope covers the Group.
In order to have comparable data between Group entities and measure accident rates directly related to the performance of activities, in 2017 EDF set-up a new “LTIR” indicator corresponding to the calculation of the frequency rate according to Anglo-Saxon standards. This indicator will be reported starting in 2019.
The Group’s overall frequency rate represents the number of work-related accidents (employees and service providers, regardless of the level of subcontracting, including co-contracting and temporary employees) having resulted in one day or more of absence over a 12-month period per million hours worked. The hours worked used for calculating the frequency rate are actual hours corresponding to the hours of “exposure to risks” according to CNAM (French national insurance body). The scope covers the Group.
The indicator takes account of the number of fatal accidents linked to business risks occurring in the year. The scope covers the Group.
Indicators on cooling water include water withdrawn and water returned to rivers, the sea and water tables. For nuclear power electricity plants located on coastlines and for thermal power plants, the amounts of cooling water withdrawn and water returned are calculated on the basis of the operating time and nominal debit of pumps.
The CCGT cooling circuit is open for MECO. All water is thus returned, and no significant consumption is to be reported. On this basis, no amounts have been reported by MECO from 2018 onwards.
These indicators are not collected by EDF RE, a subsidiary of EDF Renewables in the United States, or by some Edison sites (only the operating centres managed by Fenice), as their values are negligible at Group level.
Air emissions from thermal power plants of the EDF group are measured or calculated on the basis of analyses of the fuels or based on standard emissions factors.
The Group’s SF6 emissions are calculated, as a matter of priority, on the basis of a mass balance or, to a lesser extent, using an estimation method approved by Executive Management at the entity in question (for example, application of a leakage rate).
GCC power plants outside EDF do not report dust emissions, which do not have a significant impact at the Group scale. MECO does not collect emissions of N2O and SF6, also without material impact at the scale of the Group.
Scope 3 indirect emissions: Every year, EDF draws up a GHG report (scopes 1, 2 and 3) covering the Group scope calculated according to the principles of the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. The 2018 report enabled us to identify significant information items adopted for the 2019 fiscal year. In 2018, three items accounted for more than 70% of GHG emissions: direct CO2 emissions, indirect emissions linked to combustion of gas sold to our final customers and indirect emissions linked to generation of electricity purchased to sell to our final customers.
The conventional waste data were obtained on the basis of data available on the closing date for the quantities removed and the disposal channels. It should be noted that the reported data are not comprehensive concerning conventional industrial waste from EDF Renewables, as these data cannot, at this stage, be reported within the Group’s reporting deadlines. Dalkia reports on the most significant facilities for year N-1 for France and for foreign subsidiaries from January N to December N, using an estimate for this final month.
Construction and decommissioning waste is included in this report, if its management falls under the responsibility of the EDF group. On the other hand, waste managed by service providers is not accounted for. Regarding distribution network operator Enedis, waste reporting is done on a rolling-year basis, from 1 November N-1 to 31 October N.
