Biodiversity
18 volunteer commitments for 2023-2025
The Group action in terms of preservation of the natural resources is implemented through regulatory and volunteer actions. EDF renewed its individual commitments in favour of Nature for the 2023-2025 period.
Climate risks
How EDF is adapting to climate change
With facilities which have a technical lifespan potentially easily exceeding 40 years, EDF Group is exposed to the physical effects of climate change. This is why the EDF group identified climate risk as a priority in 2018.
Integrated & sustainable water management
Restoration of the water collected for our production needs
Freshwater is essential for ecosystems and human activities. It supports 90% of EDF electricity production and many industrial processes. As a responsible user and a major player in water resource management, EDF Group acts to conserve this resource, to enhance ecosystems resilience and to address water needs in a coordinated and sustainable manner.
Coastal areas & maritime sector
EDF and the ocean
The oceans contribute significantly to climate regulation, contain a wide biodiversity and are essential for economic and cultural activities. The preservation of the oceans, threatened partly by climate change, is necessary to guarantee the sustainability of this environment. EDF offers innovative and tailored solutions to support the energy transition of the maritime sector.
