Year ended 31 December 2016

To the Executive Management of Orange SA, Pursuant to your request and in our capacity as Statutory Auditor of Orange, we conducted

profession and the provisions of Article L.822-11 of the French Commercial Code. We have also

put in place a quality control system which includes documented policies and procedures in

order to ensure compliance with applicable ethical rules, professional standards, laws and

regulations.

compliance, in all material respects, with the above-mentioned Reporting Criteria.

Our work covered the Verified Items only and not all the sections comprising the “2016

We conducted our work in accordance with international standards ISAE 30002 and AA1000 AS

(2008)3, and with the French professional standards.

We determined the nature and scope of our tests and controls based on the nature and

importance of the achievements with respect to the characteristics of the company, the social

and environmental impacts of its operations and its sustainability strategy.

Regarding the achievements that we considered to be the most important, we assessed progress

towards meeting the objectives set in the 2016 Corporate Social Responsibility Report roadmap

and the presentation given by Orange of the achievements on its website by conducting

interviews and collecting substantive evidence at Orange’s headquarters and the relevant

entities.

Conclusion of reasonable assurance

Assurance Report by one of the Statutory Auditors on

a Selection of Items published in the 2016 Complete

CSR Report

June 1st, 2017

We verified that Orange has implemented a process to collect, compile, process and check the

selected information with regard to its completeness and consistency. We gained an

understanding of the internal control and risk management procedures relating to the

compilation of the information. We conducted interviews with the individuals in charge of

corporate responsibility reporting.

Concerning the Selected quantitative Information:

- for the consolidating entity and controlled entities, we set up analytical procedures and

verified, using sampling techniques, the calculations as well as the consolidation of the

information;

- for the entities selected6 according to their activity, their contribution to consolidated

information, their location and risk analysis, we:

o conducted interviews to verify that procedures are properly applied and obtain

information to perform our verifications;

o performed tests of details, using sampling techniques, in order to verify the

calculations performed and reconcile the data with supporting evidence.

For the information selected by Orange and identified by the symbol ( A ) on its website7, we

conducted procedures of a similar nature as those performed on the other information selected

by Orange and identified by the symbol ( A ), but more extensive, in particular regarding the

number of tests.

We believe that these procedures enable us to express reasonable assurance regarding the

information selected by the company and identified by the symbol ( A ).

Conclusion of limited assurance

Based on the work performed, we did not identify any material anomalies likely to call into

question the fact that the information selected by Orange and identified by the symbol ( A ) on

its website10 as of June 1st, 2017 has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with

the above-mentioned Reporting Criteria.

Without qualifying the above conclusion, we draw your attention to the following matter:

For waste indicators, despite the complexity related to the lack of maturity of certain local

waste management providers, Orange has again reinforced its efforts to further identify and

collect waste information in the OMEA area.
