Functioning and composition

• The Shareholder Advisory Committee is both a consultative body and a think tank;
• Its objective is to contribute to the permanent improvement of procedures and communications to individual shareholders;
• Its mission is to express your expectations in terms of information and relations with the Group;
• It meets between two and four times a year under the chairmanship of the Director of Shareholder Relations;
• It consists of at least eight members, including one EDF employee and one former EDF employee.

They are selected based on their motivation and their representativeness of the individual EDF shareholders in order to ensure that the Committee best reflects their diversity.

The members

This hydropower plant and its integration in the heart of a complete development, with the dams of Jons and Jonage, accompanies for more than a century the economic and industrial development of the east of the agglomeration of Lyon.

Completed in March 2016, EDF Lab Paris-Saclay is one of the 10 EDF R & D sites.
It concentrates in one place excellence skills and means of testing on strategic topics for the future of the EDF Group: the production of low-carbon electricity, the electrical systems of the future and new energy services.

At the gates of Oisans, in a narrow valley, EDF is currently leading the largest hydroelectric project in France.
More powerful, better integrated with the landscape and respectful of the environment, this new underground equipment will replace the 6 power stations and 5 current dams in the Romanche valley.

2016

1. The Consultative Committee met on 15 September 2016 in the Rhône-Alpes region. After a visit to the Hydrelec museum, the Committee visited the Romanche-Gavet site, the largest hydroelectric facility currently under construction in France, managed by EDF.

More powerful, better integrated with the landscape and more respectful of the environment, this new underground system will replace the six power plants and five current dams in the Romanche valley.
The new power plant and the new dam will enable a 30% increase in electricity generation, contributing to the Group's CAP 2030 strategy to develop renewable energies.

Also on the agenda of this delocalised meeting of the Advisory Committee:

• Updates about Group current events;
• The launch of an online discussion and content sharing site, to allow Committee members to exchange information easily and at any time between each other and with EDF’s Shareholder Relations team. This system has been developed as a genuinely collaborative tool, allowing members to post and share whatever they consider relevant (links to articles, ideas, experiences, best practices, anecdotes, questions, suggestions, etc.).
   

2. The Consultative Committee, in its new composition, met on 10 March 2016 at EDF's headquarters.
