Electricity is not like any other commodity: that is why its production, transmission, distribution and sale are matters of general public interest. From the outset, EDF’s mission has been to deliver a secure electricity supply, allow fair access to energy and contribute to the

sustainable development of territories.

The EDF Group plans to become the primary worldwide electricity provider. The Group operates in all continents and employs nearly 160,000 people whose know-how, ability to innovate and professional commitment are the foundations of the Group’s performance: creating economic and social value for the communities in which it operates, its customers, employees and shareholders.

In all locations, this corporate responsibility involves sharing ethical commitments and values that must permanently inspire and guide the action of all EDF Group employees.

To deliver the highest standards of integrity, behaviour and business performance which the Group requires, the three values of the EDF Group are:

I

respect

I

solidarity

I

responsibility

The Global Compact brings together a large number of companies from across the world who undertake to respect the application of ten principles dealing with human rights, labor rights, environment and, since 2004, the fight against corruption.

Through its membership of the Global Compact, EDF Group signals its commitment to supporting the application of these principles and must provide proof every year of the progress it has made.
