Électricité de France (EDF) is a publicly listed company headquartered in Paris, France. In 2022, 83.8% of its shares were owned by the Government of France. The company has a presence in 42 countries, with over 40 million customers, making it one of the largest electric utilities in Europe.
Summary
EDF is a top performer in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with consistent reporting and progress across multiple urban sustainability topics. EDF has established strong accountability for sustainability by basing 15% of executives’ variable compensation on carbon intensity, CDP ratings and female representation, and ensuring its board members have the expertise to manage ESG issues.
EDF is the top performer on core social indicators, disclosing its process to identify and mitigate key human rights risks, and policies regarding health and safety, living wages and working hours. It also reports high levels of employee upskilling and local procurement. EDF has an opportunity to improve its disclosure on stakeholder engagement, including partnerships with local governments and dialogue with groups affected by its activities.
EDF reports consistent reductions in GHG emissions, demonstrating progress towards its targets, and publishes its Crisis Management and Business Continuity policy for dealing with natural disasters. However, while the company reports regularly on its air pollution and water withdrawal, it is yet to demonstrate consistent reductions over time, and lacks complete data on key environmental topics such as energy efficiency, waste generation and water quality.
