Inventing the sustainable energy world of tomorrow May 2017

Summary 1/ Context Becoming low-carbon and connecting to stakeholders 2/ Integrated Performance CSR at the heart of ENGIE s business model 3/ A new ambition CSR ambition contributing to ENGIE s transformation

1/ Context

A unique positioning to embrace the energy revolution Low CO 2 power generation mix & strong positions in renewables 86% low CO 2 emissions, 20% renewables (1), #1 in solar & wind energy in France, present in many countries on every continent ENGIE s strategy to gradually end its coal activities Stop all projects which had not yet been firmly committed In 2016, ENGIE announced the sale or closing of more than 50% of its coal capacity Leading energy company supporting countries in their move towards the energy transition Without waiting for worldwide spread carbon prices, ENGIE uses a carbon price in its investment assessments Developing the uses of natural gas to replace more carbon emitting energies and paving the way for green gas tomorrow Biogas, retail LNG 100,000 people dedicated to energy efficiency solutions Enabling customers to achieve their own sustainability objectives Priority to lowest CO 2 options CO 2 light activities (2) will represent more than 90% of Group s Ebitda by 2018 (1) Data at 100%, as of end of 2016, excluding pumped storage for hydro capacity (2) Low CO 2 power generation, gas infrastructures & LNG, downstream 4

Advocating for carbon pricing, a key lever towards decarbonization Since 2013, ENGIE openly advocates for the generalization of carbon prices in the World To signal for low carbon investments while setting a level playing field for global companies One of the best ways to accelerate the transition ENGIE is Member of the World Bank Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (IMF, WEF, IETA, UN Global Compact, CDP, ) which committed to : x2 by 2020 the coverage of emissions by carbon pricing regulations (25%) And x2 again the coverage by 2030 (50%) Mr Mestrallet nominated co-president of the French mission on carbon pricing, which made proposals to reinforce the carbon pricing signals Set a price corridor on the EU ETS at European level 5

ENGIE Top Management Involvement in CSR Terrawatt Initiative : global non-profit organization, bringing together governments, investors, energy suppliers, NGOs and citizens to promote competitive solar power as a decisive tool to address power needs, sustainable development goals and climate change Launch of Foundation for social investment and human development (Fondation pour l investissement social et le développement humain, «FISO») Foundation «Agir Contre l Exclusion» : in favor of social and civil commitment to fight against all forms of exclusion Green Finance : one of the pioneers in Green Bond issuance, support to the Paris Green Financial Center and Green Bond Principles Carbon Price : determination of an internal Carbon Price applied to our investments and support of worldwide market mechanism to promote a higher carbon price Access to energy : commercial offer development Social network : Twitter, LinkedIn Definition or our ambition for 2020 with 6 CSR objectives and strong involvement of CSR within the Group Integrated Thinking 6

TERRAWATT Initiative: massive solar scale-up The context of the 21st century Energy Revolution A massive expansion of electricity both geographically and in its usages, leading to a fast modernization, universalization and de-fossilization of our power systems The alliance of renewable energies, digital power management technologies, power storage and energy efficiency, to provide everyone everywhere with an energy service of quality, clean and much cheaper than today. Because it is universal, simple, scalable, flexible, clean and competitive, solar PV provides a simple and pragmatic solution to a very substantial part of our our needs for low cost power. The Terrawatt Initiative Engie, together with a group of energy, industry, technology and finance global leaders decided at COP 21 in Paris to launch, alongside the International Solar Alliance, the Terrawatt Initiative (TWI), the first private nonprofit organization aiming at accelerating the cost reduction of solar PV generation, by tackling the structural barriers existing in the market, to unlock as fast as possible all its benefits for humanity. TWI is willing to (i) promote the deployment of 2.5 TW of solar PV in the 10 coming years, (ii) draw collectively a positive vision the society the Energy Revolution may lead to, (iii) propose a pathway and concrete steps to achieve it, and (iv) mobilize the world s public opinion through education, information and communication actions and to empower the citizens into the Energy Revolution. As a first step, TWI promotes concrete political, economic, legal and financial actions. With its global network and partners, TWI actively works on (i) leaner regulations, (ii) more efficient market practices, in particular standardized contractual documentation, and (iii) structural risk mitigation tools. It offers technical assistance to accompany key stakeholders in their implementation, including via cross-cultural capacity building programs and leadership sessions., 7

3/ A new ambition

A strong ambition for 2020 ENGIE committed in 2016 to six new ambitious CSR objectives to be achieved by 2020, which aims at supporting its strategic ambition and demonstrating its impacts on society. The 2016 CSR results indicate that the Group is on track and fully committed to implement its sustainable growth strategy Objective 1) Supporting our customers in the energy transition Key Performance Indicator Effective value in 2015 Effective value in 2016 Target value in 2020 Satisfaction rate among our B2C customers na 81% 85% 2) Renewables Share of renewable energy in the generating capacity 18.3% 19.5% 25% 3) Greenhouse gas emissions % reduction in ratio of CO 2 emissions to energy production compared with 2012 +0.6% -11.3% -20% 4) Stakeholder dialogue % of industrial activities covered by a suitable dialogue and consultation mechanism na 20% 100% 5) Gender diversity % of women in the Group s workforce 21.6% 21.9% 25% 6) Health and safety Internal frequency rate for occupational accidents 3.6 3.6 < 3, 16

Contribution of ENGIE CSR Objectives to United Nations SDGs ENGIE CSR objectives support the Group s ambition of energy transition leaderships and contribute to the global sustainable development priorities defined by the United Nations: Goal 3 through CSR objective of Health and Safety (internal accident frequency rate below 3 by 2020), our live-saving rules to reduce fatal accidents Goal 5 through CSR objective of gender diversity (25% of woman in the workforce by 2020), 33% of woman appointed as Topex in 2016 Goal 6 as member of the CEO water mandate from 2008 Goal 7 through CSR objective on Renewable Capacities (25% of the energy mix by 2020), new renewable projects, sustainable energy access for all (1,2 M beneficiaries in 2016 of Rassembleurs d Energies projects) Goal 11 and Goal 12 through CSR objective on supporting our customers in the energy transition (satisfaction rate above 85% by 2020) and CSR objective on Stakeholder Engagement (all industrial activities covered by a suitable dialogue) Goal 13 through CSR objective on CO 2 Reduction (-20% for energy production CO 2 ratio by 2020), new deals of closing/sells of coal assets in 2016 (Hazelwood, Polaniec, ) Goal 14 and 15 through ENGIE s commitment to the French National strategy on Biodiversity (SNB) from 2012 17

Developing new commercial offers, aligned with the Group s CSR ambition: Green electricity supply in France Since October 2016, for new contracts, ENGIE exclusively sells green electricity at no additional cost to Households and small Business in France. Offers are covered by Guarantees of Origin from renewable energy producers. Already 185 000 green electricity clients end of December 2016 Objective of 1 Million green electricity clients by the end of 2017 * ENGIE purchases the equivalent of the amount of electricity consumed by the customer in Guarantees of Origin issued by renewable energy producers, for any new electricity contract subscribed by a particular customer, excluding the Happ'e electricity supply. A Guarantee of Origin certifies that electricity has been produced from a renewable energy source and injected into the electricity grid., 18
