2. Sustainable development is the keystone of AREVA’s industrial strategy.
In 2002, the group created its AREVA Way sustainable development
initiative, which revolves around ten main commitments.
These commitments are an integral part of the group’s management
system, including the strategic action plan, the budget and the reporting
process. They apply to all AREVA entities.
AREVA Way is at once a state of mind, a goal and a way of acting
specific to AREVA:
– a way to be: attitudes and behaviors conducive to achieving
these goals;
– a way to go: a target balanced on the three pillars of sustainable
development – economic, social and environmental – and broken
down into 10 AREVA commitments;
– a way to act planning and sharing performance improvement goals,
performance objectives and action plans to achieve this target.
It is a process of continuous improvement that works in conjunction with
AREVA’s implementation of its ten commitments. AREVA Way drives the
group’s sustainable development performance.
The Report on Responsible Growth reviews our actions and our overall
performance. The figures published in this supplement are the tangible
results of the actions taken.
NOTE: Unless otherwise explicitly indicated or specifically
mentioned, all of the figures presented in this document include
the Nuclear, Renewables and Transmission & Distribution*

PERCENTAGE OF REVENUE INCREASE ACHIEVED IN The French government has defined a “protected sector” encompassing special work sites and
PURCHASES OF SERVICES FROM THE PROTECTED support services, which together create an environment that makes it possible for people with
SECTOR (in %)
severe disabilities to work. AREVA’s protected sector program is headed up by the Purchasing
department, which sets performance objectives for each site and measures progress.
0.67 The program focuses on efforts to create more national framework agreements, expanded actions
at the sites in priority segments (green spaces, building services and small repairs, photocopying
0.56 and printing, disassembly of computer equipment, etc.), and optimization of tools provided by our
national partners (marketplaces, database access, distribution of handbooks, etc.).
0.45 The purchasing department draws on a network of purchasing champions charged with deploying
the program for the protected sector.
The year 2009 confirmed the mobilization of buyers, for whom turning to the protected sector in
setting up new requests for proposals is now a reflex and part of their daily work.
Purchases from companies in the protected sector rose yet again, from 1.5 million euros to
5.3 million euros, an increase of nearly 30%.
This figure corresponds to some 245 full-time jobs for people with disabilities.
Examples of achievements and best practices:
2007 2008 2009 • Mail sorting and distribution at the AREVA Marcoule site is carried out by a company in the
protected sector.
• Locker room facilities at the MELOX plant are managed by AGK, a group of companies dedicated
to hiring protected sector employees.
• APOSIT, a company dedicated to hiring protected sector employees, manages document
reproduction and data storage projects at the AREVA Tower.

predicted quantity of residual nuclear materials was discovered
64 during glove box dismantling operations. This event led to a partial
suspension of the dismantling operations.
Lessons learned concerning the evaluation of residual quantities
in workstations at facilities operated by AREVA were collected at
the end of 2009.

WORKFORCE AND DIVERSITY
PERCENTAGE OF WOMEN Diversity, equal opportunity and non-discrimination are a key component
BY EMPLOYMENT CATEGORY of AREVA’s human resources policy. They are expressed through several

This policy was evidenced in the activities launched in 2008 that
were extended in 2009:

initiatives at its European sites. The group’s objectives by year-end 2010
are:
- a 20% ratio of women in management committees (the rate was 17.52%
in Europe in 2009);
- priority consideration of career opportunities for women during people
2007 2008 2009 reviews using the same criteria as those used to evaluate men.
• The group pays close attention to career opportunities for new hires with

WATER
TOTAL WATER CONSUMED EXCLUDING COOLING WATER The quantity of water used by the group increased compared with
(in millions of m3) 2008, despite each site’s efforts.
Sites whose water usage rose sharply also reported a significant
19.4 increase in production involving:
18.7
16.3 • the start of new projects in the Mining Business Group,
• increased activity at the Creusot Forge and OL3 sites compared
with 2008,
• increased activity at the AREVA NC site in Pierrelatte with the
ramp-up of new cooling water production systems, and
• the use of more than 900,000 m3 of industrial water by Socatri to
2007 2008 2009
pump and treat water from the water table following the incident
of the summer of 2008.
The change from 2004 to 2009, at constant revenue, is a decrease
of 46%.
WATER CONSUMPTION BY REGION IN 2009 (in %) This performance reflects improved management of networks and
processes, including:
■ Europe • campaigns to detect water leaks at the sites,
■ North America • «eco-attitude” initiatives to raise awareness among employees
■ Africa and subcontractors,
■ Asia-Pacific • the promotion of water recycling and reuse.
■ South Africa As a result, water use decreased at some sites in 2009, particularly
at the Comurhex Malvési site (Chemistry Business Unit), where a
60
closed loop cooling system was placed in service in August 2007.
The system will save 1.34 million cubic meters of water per year
6.4
and cut the site’s water use by more than 80%.
Through these initiatives, AREVA has been able to improve its
31 management of the water cycle, particularly at the production sites,
so that less water is tapped from the natural environment.
These programs require in-depth knowledge of water uses and

ENERGY
TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION EXCLUDING EURODIF The following total energy consumption figures do not include the
(in mWh) Eurodif process. In 2009, a total of 3120 MWh of energy was
consumed, for an increase of 3.2% compared with 2008. The raw

2,925 data are not adjusted by business. At constant revenue, energy
consumption fell 25% from 2004 to 2009.
The largest consumers are implementing action plans based on the
findings of energy efficiency studies, with the goal of stabilizing and
ultimately reducing the group’s energy consumption. Our
methodological tools – the eco-efficiency awareness kit, best
practice handbooks, best available technologies, and energy news
– are sent to all group employees.
In 2009, the Mining Business Group was the group’s largest
2007 2008 2009 consumer, accounting for 29% of the group’s energy consumption.
The Mining BG’s energy consumption increased by more than 8%,
chiefly due to an increase in Somair operations in Niger and the
ramp-up of Katco in Kazakhstan and UraMin Inc. in Namibia.

Over the 2004 to 2009 period, these emissions were down 60% compared
■ SF6 (limited to the T&D business) with 2004 at constant activity (based on revenue).Fossil energies accounted
■ Other, including N2O for 46% of these emissions, while sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) represented 21%

N2O emissions were up 24% at the Malvesi site as operations returned to
195 354 348 normal compared with 2008. An installation on the precipitation facility’s
ventilation system to decompose N2O into oxygen and nitrogen will enable
207 162 the eradication of these emissions beginning in 2010.
425 The La Hague site, whose boilers were the group’s only facilities subject to
248 the NAP*, saw its GHG emissions drop 24% in 2009 compared with 2008,
211
whereas its energy consumption increased by 2.9% on a comparable basis.
2007 2008 2009 This was achieved by increasing the use of electric furnaces for steam
production in place of furnaces fired with fuel oil.
In 2009, AREVA expanded its environmental reporting by including indirect
INDIRECT EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES greenhouse gas emissions.
(in thousands of metric tons of CO2 equivalent) Since 2008, AREVA has offset 100% of its direct and residual GHG
emissions, representing some 758,000 metric tons (MT) of CO2 equivalent
386 in 2009.
357 To achieve carbon neutrality, AREVA is mobilizing internally to reduce its own
315 emissions as much as possible. The initial goal of a 50% reduction from
2004 levels by the end of 2011 has already been met, two years ahead
of time.
