The Board of Directors has set up expert advisory committees whose members and functions conform to Article 16 of EDF's Articles of Association. The Head of the French Government’s Economic and Financial Control Commission may take part in all of the committee meetings.
Advisory committees such as the Sustainable Development Committee help to more effectively address EDF’s strategic priorities.
Audit Committee
The role of the Audit Committee is to produce assessments and offer guidance regarding financial reports and statements before they are presented to the Board. The Committee’s work covers the medium-term plan and the budget, the draft financial statements prepared by the Corporate Finance Division (EDF corporate financial statements, Group consolidated financial statements, and the Management Report), risk monitoring, audit and internal control, as well as the appointment of the Statutory Auditors.
The Audit Committee is made up of six members of the Board:
- Bruno Bézard,
- Yannick d'Escatha,
- Alexandre Grillat
- Pierre Mariani,
- Philippe Pesteil,
- Maxime Villota.
Committee for Monitoring Nuclear Commitments
The Committee's tasks include:
- Monitoring the development of nuclear supplies
- Advising on issues concerning the governance of the company's dedicated assets, the asset-backing rules, and strategic allocation
- Verifying that the dedicated assets set up by EDF are being managed according to protocol.
The Committee can draw on the work of the Nuclear Commitments Financial Expertise Committee (Comité d’expertise financière des engagements nucléaires - CEFEN), which is made up of five independent experts tasked with assisting the company and its various committees in this area.
It held its first meeting on February 16, 2007.

In 2008, the Committee focused in particular on the strategies governing the acquisition of British Energy , photovoltaic solar energy, and the 2050 forecast on new technologies for the generation of electricity.
