Nuclear and industrial safety, and environment protection
Harnessing and mastering the transformation of nuclear materials is Orano's DNA, safety is the first of our values, and reducing our environmental footprint is a priority.
A fundamental commitment
The objectives of this policy are:
- anchoring a solid leadership culture, in particular by rolling out the industrial safety and security leadership program to managers and by consolidating the safety and security culture through regular self-assessments of entities and the associated experiential feedback, and by the proper consideration of organizational and human factors;
- contributing by controlling risks to the performance of industrial operations and projects in the context of the nuclear renewal,

Control & compliance
The implementation of the HSE policy is monitored internally by the General Inspector, which reports to General Management on the status of operational compliance and, more generally, via the Group's Independent Safety Service (ISS).
The General Inspector prepares an annual report on the safety status of the Group's nuclear facilities and activities, which incorporates the findings of the independent safety service, including those of the General Inspectorate.
