IMPROVING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
site pollution is properly handled. The soil pollution management procedures stipulate that a soil diagnosis must be performed each time land changes tenants. Special training was conducted, in particular in the Real Estate Division, on polluted sites and soils and ICPEs. In addition, storage and distribution of aviation fuel are provided by external companies that maintain and operate the tanks and the hydrant fuelling system for which they also ensure the control and compliance. As the storage facilities are subject to legislation on facilities classified for environmental protection (ICPE or Installations Classified for the Protection of the Environment), they regularly undergo quality and compliance audits by the Regional and Interdepartmental Environment and Energy Division (DRIEE). Groupe ADP communicates regularly with the third parties in question to keep abreast of any changes in their activities and the classification of their facilities (information letters, participation in site monitoring committees, etc.) Groupe ADP’s future commitments relating to soil conservation are listed in the paragraph “Environmental policy for 2022-2025”. 2021 achievements and results An update of the internal procedures for the prevention and management of soil pollution was finalised in 2021, based on feedback collected at the Paris airports. The laboratory and the Real Estate Division have also worked at Paris-Charles de Gaulle to develop monitoring and prevention tools, which could be rolled out widely. Discussions with start-ups specialising in water and soil pollution treatment solutions have been hired to carry out technical experiments. Sustainable development and construction Policy and objectives Groupe ADP sets itself strict standards to limit primary energy consumption (at least: threshold of the RT 2012 thermal regulations) of its buildings and is developing a sustainable development and construction policy with a view to obtaining high environmental quality certifications (French HQE ® and British BREEAM). It has adopted the UN’s SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities. Development projects follow a framework that incorporates the themes of comfort, energy, biodiversity, choice of materials and performance of the buildings. In support of its environmental and energy policy for 2016-2021, Groupe ADP is continuing to aim for 100% of its new buildings (excluding terminals) to be certified with an environmental label. To align with long-term (2050) CO 2 emissions reduction targets but also to adapt to the RE 2020 environmental regulations, Groupe ADP wants to better understand the carbon emissions associated with all buildings and infrastructure at the different phases of their life (construction, operation and end-of-life phase), and is developing tools for this purpose. Actions are taken to promote the reuse of materials and incorporate low-carbon materials into projects. Groupe ADP’s future commitments relating to sustainable development are listed in the paragraph “Environmental policy for 2022-2025”.
Aéroports de Paris is committed to limiting newly-sealed surfaces favouring infiltration wherever possible and, failing this, to offset sealed surfaces with retention ponds. Accordingly, under the guidelines, zoning defining rainwater management rules by area and thresholds that limit leakage flow rates have been established to promote infiltration. Through the new act4nature international commitments, and in anticipation of regulatory changes concerning artificialisation, we are now focusing on our trajectory of net zero-artificialisation. After treatment, the wastewater produced at Aéroports de Paris’ airports is discharged into public sewers. A procedure for monitoring the wastewater produced as a result of the activities of Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget and the industries in the airport zones is in place. The Aéroports de Paris laboratory monitors the quality of the rainwater discharged into the natural environment as well as the water table level thanks to a network of measuring points (piezometers). At the Amman Queen Alia airport, water is supplied by ADP from the water table using wells. Tanks are used to store water and a treatment unit has been set up to supply drinking water. Water from the treatment and purification station is used to irrigate the green spaces to limit abstraction. At the Turkish airports owned by TAV Airports, water is bought from local suppliers or drawn from the water table via wells and treatment stations to ensure the supply of drinking water through the use of advanced treatments such as UV treatment. Groupe ADP’s future commitments relating to the preservation of water resources are listed in the paragraph “Environmental policy for 2022-2025”. 2021 achievements and results In 2021, the Group’s water withdrawals represented 3.7 million m 3 , a 21% reduction compared to 2019. The rate of water re-use (carried out at Paris-Orly and Queen Alia in Amman using water from the sites’ water treatment plants) has also declined, from 7% in 2019 to 5% in 2021. These reductions are due to the drop in activity. Work to improve the reliability of ADP SA’s internal water consumption metering was extended in 2020 and 2021. They are still ongoing. Monitoring and preserving soil quality Policy and objectives As a land developer, Groupe ADP takes care to respect the balance of the diversity of living things. The issue of land use is dealt with in accordance with current regulations, and pollution prevention and management systems are implemented. The Aéroports de Paris laboratory also carries out environmental monitoring of soil quality, using the national methodology of the Ministry of the Environment. This monitoring checks the compatibility of the environmental state of the sites with their uses and/or development projects in order to ensure that any on
