EDF - EDF Group commitment

• The environment and energy
• Corporate social responsibility

Environmental and energy: our partnerships contribute to the preservation of nature (protecting natural environments and species) and to combating climate change (reducing carbon footprint), together with supporting the sciences, innovation and new technologies.

In corporate social responsibility: our partnerships promote diversity and proximity (access to energy and eco-efficiency, access to employment and vocational integration, tackling social exclusion, etc.) as well as health and medical research (medical and neuroscience research, etc.)

Our partnerships are promoted by the Group’s companies and foundations:

• The EDF Diversiterre Foundation
• The European Foundation for Tomorrow’s Energies
• The Agir Pour l'Empoi foundation
• The RTE Foundation
• The Edison Foundation

Corporate social responsibility is the guiding principle of the EDF Diversiterre Foundation . Created in 2007, the Foundation embodies the Group's commitment to the environment and corporate social responsibility by funding initiatives in three areas: nature and biodiversity, community and health, and culture and heritage.

Amongst the Group’s partners are:

• The Nicolas Hulot Foundation
• The Nature Reserves of France
• The French Coastal Protection Agency

• The French Muscular Dystropy Association
• The French Telethon .
