4.3.2 REDUCING OUR CLIMATE FOOTPRINT

The fight against climate change is one of the pillars in the Aéroports de Paris environmental and energy policy. Fully committed to reducing its CO 2 emissions, improving its energy efficiency and developing renewable energies, Aéroports de Paris has adopted the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG nos. 7 (Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all), 9 (Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation) and 13 (Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts). Internal emissions, known as scope 1 and 2, include emissions from thermal power plants, service vehicles and electricity purchases. External emissions, known as scope 3 emissions, cover: ◆ aircraft, whose emissions are determined from the different phases of the LTO cycle (Landing Take-Off): approach, landing, taxiing, take-off, climb to 3,000 feet; ◆ auxiliary power units (APU), which provide energy on board aircraft; ◆ ground-handling vehicles operated by external companies; ◆ home-work travel for all airport employees; ◆ professional travel for employees of Aéroports de Paris; ◆ passenger journeys to and from the airports; ◆ other sources (internal waste management or third-party electricity). Limiting our emissions Policy and objectives In line with the goals proposed by France in 2015, in 2016 Aéroports de Paris set itself the target of reducing internal CO 2 emissions per passenger at the Paris airports by 65% by 2020 compared to 2009. In 2020, the environmental policy was extended until the end of 2021. In this context, Aéroports de Paris has transformed its target into a 65% reduction in internal CO 2 emissions in absolute value compared to 2009. Aéroports de Paris also intends, as part of its 2016-2021 environmental policy, to maintain the Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports at ACA (Airport Carbon Accreditation) level 3 and, in this context, to continue to reduce its CO 2 emissions (scopes 1 & 2) every year compared to the average of the previous three years, calculate external emissions (scope 3), and implement actions in conjunction with stakeholders. As part of its 2016-2021 environmental policy, the “Airports for Trust” charter, and the climate commitments made by the Group since 2019, the Group also aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 (with carbon offsetting) for all 23 signatory platforms of “Airports for Trust” as well as Zero Net Emissions (ZEN) by 2050 at the latest (without carbon offsetting) for Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris Le Bourget in France, as well as Izmir Adnan Menderes and Ankara Esenboga in Turkey, Liège in Belgium, Zagreb in Croatia, Santiago de Chile in Chile, and New

Delhi in India (the latter platform not listed in Airports for Trust). Carbon neutrality and ZEN are part of the ACA (Airport Carbon Accreditation) framework developed by ACI. They concern internal emissions (scopes 1 & 2) as well as emissions related to employee business travel. Groupe ADP’s future climate commitments are listed in the paragraph “2022-2025 environmental policy”. In order to reduce internal emissions and contribute to the 2030 carbon neutrality roadmap, the following actions have been implemented: ◆ improving energy efficiency (see paragraph on “Aiming for energy efficiency”); ◆ production of renewable energies and purchase of green electricity at the Paris airports (see paragraph on “Developing renewable energies”); ◆ introduction of an internal carbon price of €60 per tonne of CO 2 since September 2019 and €100 per tonne from 2023 (see paragraph on “Aiming for energy efficiency”); ◆ energy transition of vehicles (see paragraph on “Acting for air quality”). Concerning the external emissions of its partners on the platforms (scope 3), Groupe ADP works with its stakeholders on the following topics (see the paragraphs “Contributing to the decarbonisation of air transport” and “Acting for air quality”): ◆ participation in the energy transition of aircraft and encouraging fleet renewal; ◆ contribution to the reduction of aircraft emissions during taxiing; ◆ greening of ground handling vehicles; ◆ power for aircraft on the ground; ◆ improvement of the electric power supply for recharging vehicles; ◆ work on the replacement of auxiliary power engines (APU); ◆ contribution to the SESAR and CORAC programmes to modernise the air traffic management system; ◆ contribution to the improvement of public transport services to reduce emissions linked to the movement of passengers and employees when accessing and leaving the airports (see paragraph on “Preservation of air quality”); ◆ deployment of inter-company mobility plans to address professional travel and home-work commutes of airport employees; ◆ reduction of other sources of emissions (internal waste management, and third-party electricity). In addition, Groupe ADP participates with members of the aeronautical and airport community in the study work in favour of the decarbonisation of the aviation sector, in particular via the work of the CORAC and professional federations (Destination 2050 roadmap - https://www.destination2050.eu/).
