The reports are available online at https://entrevoisins.groupeadp. fr/donnees/mesure-de-la-qualite-de-lair/bilans/ Aéroports de Paris has been continuing its mobility plan (PDME) 1 for several years, with tangible measures to optimise the travel of its employees and visitors. Successive action plans have resulted in the implementation of remote working, now permanently strengthened following the lessons of the health crisis, the development of collaborative tools (videoconferences), and the testing of an autonomous electric vehicle. In 2021, a new carpooling application was adopted, in connection with the joint employer mobility plans (formerly the inter-company mobility plan) of Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly. The elements presented in the paragraph “Contributing to the decarbonisation of air transport” above make it possible to report on the actions carried out concerning the commitments to reduce emissions from taxiing aircraft and ground-handling vehicles. With regard to passenger transport, Aéroports de Paris supports public and low-carbon transport. For example, since 16 September 2019, the shuttles that transport passengers though the public areas at Paris-Orly airport to the terminals and car parks are powered by a palm oil-free HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) biofuel, replacing diesel. This reduces emissions of air pollutants (nitrogen oxides and particulates) and CO 2 by more than 50% compared to diesel (life cycle). In addition, during air pollution episodes, the Aéroports de Paris peak pollution procedure is triggered to inform and implement emission limitation actions. Lastly, all of the achievements mentioned in the paragraph “The fight against climate change” contribute to improved air quality. 2021 achievements and results In 2019, Aéroports de Paris and Airparif renewed their partnership agreement to continue discussions, notably on calculation and measurement methodologies. Under this agreement, Airparif is expected to carry out a general interest study on ultrafine particles in the vicinity of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. The study could not be carried out in 2020 or in 2021 due to the drop in traffic linked to the health crisis. This study is postponed and conditional upon the resumption of representative air traffic. It is likely that it can be completed in the summer of 2022. Regarding the Mobility Plan, the 2019-2021 action plan saw the creation of blueprints for active modes for Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly, the testing of electric car-sharing vehicles and the creation of the Orly’Pro’Mobilité association, resulting from the Paris-Orly inter-company mobility plan (now PDMEC: joint employer mobility plan). Aéroports de Paris continued to renew its vehicle fleet, roll out its charging and supply infrastructure and implement a greening strategy for airside vehicles and machinery. In 2021, Aéroports de Paris continued to reduce the environmental footprint of its vehicle fleet, which includes just over 290 electric and hybrid service vehicles (35% of the light commercial vehicle fleet) and has equipped its airports with charging points (471 at end-2021). In 2020, a new employee travel survey was carried out on the inter-company mobility plans of Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly. These mobility plans cover slightly more than 50%
and 30% of the employees of the companies present on the platforms, respectively. The results of the survey were presented to Company employees during the European Mobility Week in September 2021. In 2019, blueprints for active modes were drawn up for Paris Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly. They are now used as a basis for the work undertaken to promote active modes, in the context of the health crisis, so as to offer an alternative to car travel for users who are unable/do not want to take public transport. In 2020, discussions on the development of cycling and the creation of cycling routes within, to and from the airport, were carried out jointly with EPT 12 and the Orly’Pro’Mobility association. In April 2021, this work was shared with the elected representatives of the municipalities surrounding Paris-Orly airport. In October 2020, an amendment to the remote working agreement was signed. In particular, it allows eligible employees to do up to 50% of regular remote working, which will further reduce emissions related to employee travel to and from the airports. In 2021, the partner companies of the Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly mobility plans chose a new carpooling operator: Karos. The adoption rate of the platform is encouraging, after a few months of use. Since its launch in September 2021, 324 employees have registered and 3,416 requests for carpooling and 2,075 trips have been made. Promoting the circular economy Policy and objectives Waste management and the circular economy are among the major challenges of the materiality study (7.8/10). As part of its environmental and energy policy for 2016-2020 and extended to 2021, Aéroports de Paris seeks to limit the consumption of natural resources by relying on two strategies: improving the at-source sorting of waste and better recycling of the waste produced at its airports. Groupe ADP’s future commitments relating to the circular economy are listed in the paragraph “Environmental policy for 2022-2025”. The objectives set are to: ◆ encourage partners to adopt best practices; ◆ achieve a 45% material recycling rate for internal non hazardous waste; ◆ recycle 70% of building waste; ◆ deploy actions associated with the circular economy; ◆ develop the biowaste sector by proposing, in 2020, a biowaste collection service to all customers and reduce food waste in Company restaurants. Reducing, at-source sorting and recovery of waste Following the renewal of the non-hazardous waste management contracts of the Paris platforms in 2020, the strengthening and expansion of selective collection and sorting systems were gradually rolled out, and the associated signage put in place.
