IMPROVING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

Due to the context of low traffic and reduced tonnage, actions and tools aimed at raising awareness and supporting passengers in sorting were delayed. Aéroports de Paris is continuing the actions undertaken to promote the selective collection and recovery of biowaste at the airports with its treatment via a methanisation channel, as well as the collection of edible oils from the Paris-Orly company restaurants for transformation into agro-fuel. Discussions have been launched to develop the composting sector at Paris-Orly, which has its own platform, already used for green waste. In addition to these initiatives, actions are taken to reduce the waste produced and, in particular, to combat food waste. Information campaigns are carried out among operators in airports, inter-company restaurant service providers and the Works Council, which manages six restaurants (five restaurants and a snack cafeteria) at the Paris airports. Deployment of the circular economy and reuse In line with these actions, Aéroports de Paris also promotes the circular economy through various initiatives such as: ◆ as a priority, the reuse of construction materials; ◆ regular collection and recycling of used work clothes, books, toys and Tensaguide barrier systems (which are recovered in the form of promotional items); ◆ the organisation of information conferences or events on the subject (as part of the European Sustainable Development Week and European Week for Waste Reduction). 2021 achievements and results The recovery rate for internal and external non-hazardous waste (third-party waste) was 36% for the Group in 2021 (compared with 25% in 2019), an increase driven by international operations that can be explained partly by the reduction in waste volumes from passengers and terminals due to the crisis. Improving this rate, below the targets set, will be a priority for the coming years, and will require the full deployment of the actions put on hold by the crisis (in particular, raising awareness among customers and dealers). With regard to bio-waste, for example, more than 1,300 tonnes of bio-waste were converted into energy by the Bionerval methanisation unit in 2021. The digestates (methanisation residues) are given to farmers free of charge for use as fertilisers. In addition, an experiment on the collection of edible oils was launched at Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport. With regard to the treatment of construction site waste, Groupe ADP won the Democles “50 exemplary project owners” call for projects at the end of 2020. Throughout 2021, Groupe ADP was able to benefit from comprehensive support, which resulted in the development of an action plan covering three years. Each action that will be implemented will enable Groupe ADP to change its practices and improve in terms of prevention and management of building site waste and the circular economy for significant deconstruction and rehabilitation operations. In addition, Groupe ADP signed a contract in April 2021 with ELCIMAI, a project management assistant for construction site waste management. This support in construction and

demolition projects, from the upstream phases and throughout the operations, will enable Groupe ADP to ensure the traceability of its construction site waste but also to monitor and improve their recovery rate. In December 2021, Groupe ADP signed an agreement valid for a minimum of three years with the Société du Grand Paris to recycle construction site rubble. Since June 2018, SGP has been conducting a study aimed at developing a methodology for recovering material from excavation rubble. The material recovery project undertaken by SGP intends to contribute to the reduction of rubble subject to disposal and create a positive environmental impact for the region by enabling sustainable construction that minimises the need for raw materials of extractive origin while generating jobs and supporting the local economy and industry through the development of local industrial solutions. The eco materials created from the rubble from the Grand Paris Express can be used on Groupe ADP construction sites. Preserving biodiversity Policy and objectives With more than 6,000 hectares of land in the Paris region, Aéroports de Paris is directly involved in the preservation of biodiversity. The 2017 materiality study accordingly showed that the preservation of the natural environment and air quality is a very important issue (8.1/10). The consideration of biodiversity in our activities is organised, as part of the 2016-2021 policy, around three objectives: ◆ define and deploy an ecological land development plan; ◆ conduct a biodiversity study for structural projects and for all airports; ◆ continue to reduce, by 70%, the consumption of phytosanitary products between 2008 and 2021. Groupe ADP’s commitment to the act4nature initiative, led by the association Entreprises pour l’Environnement (EpE), for 2018-2020, supports these objectives and set priorities for the responsible management of green spaces, improving understanding of the biodiversity at our sites and increasing awareness and participatory observation. On the strength of this commitment and its commitment to the ten principles of the act4nature initiative, the Group responded in December 2019 to the appeal from the French Ministry of the Environment and the French Agency for Biodiversity as part of the “ Entreprises Engagées pour la Nature (EEN) Act4nature France” scheme, which seeks to deliver on the National Biodiversity Strategy. An action plan will be drafted for the Group’s French activities for the post-2020 period, and will be submitted for evaluation by EEN members within two years. After the publication of the IPBES report in 2019, 2020 was to be marked by numerous international meetings for biodiversity. The health crisis shifted the initial schedule, with the IUCNWorld Conservation Congress in Marseille in September 2021, and COP15 for biological diversity in Kunming in the spring of 2022. In this context, the act4nature EpE initiative was renewed in an international format, and strengthened by a larger critical review by a steering committee of scientists and NGOs. Groupe ADP
