√ 2022 indicator subject to reasonable assurance check by Deloitte & Associés.
For gender distribution, see section 3.3.3.1 “Workplace equality”.
The distribution of the workforce reflects a balanced staff, which is the result of the EDF group’s employment strategy. The proportion of employees under 35 years of age (i.e. 33%) arises from the Group’s desire to integrate young graduates from work-study programmes and internships. The proportion of managers Group-wide will increase in 2022 due to the significant increase in hires, and particularly nuclear engineering hires.
Taking into account the most vulnerable customers is at the heart of the Group’s efforts to ensure a fair and inclusive energy transition. It is for this reason that the EDF group confirms and renews its commitment to its most vulnerable customers, by increasing the understanding of this diverse, complex reality, implementing support solutions based on public solidarity schemes and specific initiatives.
The first part of EDF’s efforts consists of gaining a better understanding of the complexity of energy insecurity situations to be able to identify more precisely the customers most at risk, with a view to providing them with better support.
The problems due to access to energy and energy poverty keep intensifying in most developed countries, in terms of the number of households concerned or the severity of the impacts encountered. Vulnerability varies according to geographical location, income, and size and type of accommodation, as well as the type of energy used. The pandemic has worsened a growing phenomenon.
And its measurement is complex and varies from one country to another. In France, the French National Energy Poverty Observatory, of which EDF is a partner, published its indicator, revealing that 3 million households were in a situation of energy poverty. In the United Kingdom, the indicator published by the public authorities showed the country had 2.5 million households in a situation of energy poverty. In Italy and Belgium, there is currently neither a definition nor an indicator relating to energy poverty.
In these very different national contexts in regulatory, economic, political, and competitive terms, the EDF group is committed to combating energy poverty alongside public and social organisations and associations.
EDF R&D runs an “Energy poverty: understand-innovate” programme to anticipate the changes in energy poverty and public policies and to design and develop innovations to combat energy poverty more effectively. In France, EDF was involved in the work of the National Energy Poverty Observatory.
Since late 2021, the National Observatory of Energy Poverty (ONPE) has enabled local actors to use the GEODIP tool (Geolocate Diagnose Energy Poverty), which makes it possible to visualise energy poverty zones based on housing and household car use.
The Group has long been acting to ensure that an electricity bill is not an additional aggravating factor for its most vulnerable customers. EDF’s efforts are supported by its solidarity policy, which either serves as a supplement to public programmes or works by deploying special actions of their own. The operational implementation of this policy is based on three components: payment assistance, customer support, and prevention.
In addition to the individualised payment terms that may be granted (see section 3.3.4.2.2), the EDF group is closely involved in national and regional public schemes and participates in the “Don d’énergie” (Energy gift) programme.
5.4 million energy vouchers were sent out by the authorities in April 2022. On 14 September 2022, the Prime Minister announced the setting up of an exceptional energy voucher scheme for the winter of 2022. The scheme covered 12 million households in France (with a doubling of the number of beneficiaries) for an amount of between €100 and €200.
For the past 30 years, EDF has had an active partnership with the Fonds de Solidarité Logement, granting financial aid to people who have difficulty paying for their housing expenses. With €21.2 million in 2022, EDF is the largest contributor to the Fonds de Solidarité Logement, after government agencies.
In France, EDF is developing “Don d’énergie” (i.e. “Energy gift”), in partnership with the Abbé Pierre Foundation. Since 2018, EDF’s customers with the EDF & MOI application and its newsfeed can make a donation to help vulnerable households pay their electricity bill, irrespective of their electricity supplier. EDF matches this tax-free donation at 100% within a certain limit.
