facility, Arlit, Niger

The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is a process by which government revenues generated by extractive industries are published in independently verified reports. A supporter since June 2003, AREVA was one of the first multinational corporations to participate in the EITI. Six countries in which the Group has mining operations are implementing this program for responsible development.

AREVA’s operations: countries implementing the EITI

Niger, Gabon, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Côte d'Ivoire and the Central African Republic, all countries where the AREVA group has mining activities, have declared their support for the EITI.

"L’ITIE s’est intégrée à la gestion de nos filiales minières et à leur éthique. Ce n’est pas un processus superficiel. Elle est devenue obligatoire en interne à partir du moment où AREVA a décidé de se l’appliquer."

Luc Oursel, AREVA's CEO.
