3.7.2.2 Details on performance indicators
Issue relating to Carbon trajectory
EDF group direct(1) greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1)

EDF group scope 1 emissions (CO2 equivalent) are comprised of direct emissions of CO2, N2O, CH4, SF6 and other minor emissions, estimated based on the full GHG report for year N-1, i.e. 0.46Mt of CO2e (2% of scope 1) in 2020. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) coefficients were updated for 2020 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 N2O. The scope covers the Group. The 2020 value for this indicator is subject to reasonable assurance check by KPMG SA ().

Carbon intensity: specific CO2 emissions due to heat and electrical generation

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 2020 value for this indicator is subject to reasonable assurance check by KPMG SA ().

Net consolidation of renewable energy capacity

The net consolidation gives an overview of the Group’s assets and liabilities. This method takes account of all subsidiaries in which the Company has a shareholding (i.e. shareholding in subsidiaries, associated companies, and joint ventures), and the data is consolidated to the tune of the percentage held by the entity. An exception is made for Dalkia, whose renewable electricity capacity is fully consolidated because of its low contribution to Group figures (< 1%). The scope covers the Group

Issue relating to development of electricity use and energy services
Number of smart meters installed

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 in the UK and the International Division. The scope covers the Group

Electric Vehicles rate in the fleet of light vehicles

The indicator is the ratio between the number of electric vehicles (according to the low carbon criteria of the EV 100 initiative)(2) and the total number of vehicles in the EDF group’s fleet of registered light vehicles at 31 December 2020 (owned or long-term leased). It should be noted that although this does not have a significant impact on the Group’s figures, the number of light vehicles in the fleet of certain companies is not updated on an annual basis. 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 scope covers the Group.

Issue relating to Biodiversity
Achievement rate of Group commitments under the Act4nature International initiative

EDF has introduced this indicator in 2020, replacing the previous indicator relating to the ecological knowledge of land. This new indicator reflects the Group’s commitments in the Act4nature international system, which is a Group-wide initiative.

(1) Direct carbon 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 rangeof 50km, hydrogen vehicle.
