IMPROVING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

the “Airports for Trust” charter to date), are already known. Its strategic priorities are defined in the “Airports for Trust” charter: ◆ move towards operations with zero environmental impact, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2030 for all signatories; ◆ take an active part in the environmental transition in the aviation sector and propose airside solutions. For example, Paris Aéroport is already preparing for the arrival of sustainable alternate fuels and hydrogen-powered aircraft to enable zero carbon aviation by mid-century; ◆ promote the integration of each airport in the system of local resources by promoting short circuits, encouraging the circular economy and developing the production of resources on site (geothermal heating network, solar panels, etc.); ◆ reduce the environmental footprint of airport activity planning and development projects (understated design, low-carbon construction and renovation of infrastructure and buildings). This new policy is distinguished by the desire to further strengthen Groupe ADP’s environmental ambition, beyond its scope of direct responsibility. It also includes an extension of its scope beyond the sole impact in operation, by addressing the entire life cycle of airport operations. The inclusive approach with the regions is another salient feature of this policy, insofar as its internationalisation can be. According to these four strategic areas, Groupe ADP has defined 15 commitments, listed below. Each of the 23 platforms then defined its environmental roadmap for the 2022-2025 period, consistent with the Group’s strategic priorities and commitments, with an intensity level for each commitment and actions specific to its local context. The 15 commitments of the 2022-2025 environmental policy will be regularly monitored from January 2022. Groupe ADP has adopted performance indicators and monitoring indicators for this purpose. The progress of their implementation will be described in the 2022 management report. The commitments are as follows: 1. Move towards operations with zero environmental impact 1.1. Implement the roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality on our internal emissions (scopes 1 & 2), on all our platforms by 2030 and ZEN [2030 (Orly, LBG) -2035 (CDG) -2050 (other committed platforms)]. This commitment accelerates Groupe ADP’s climate ambition for its internal emissions. 1.2. Strengthen intermodality, reduce the use of cars, and strengthen connectivity with the regions. The actions relating to this commitment contribute to reducing the climate impact and pollutant emissions of mobility (access to platforms, intra-platform journeys). 1.3. Become a carbon neutral region by 2050 (geographical scope - scopes 1 & 2 and all ground emissions - plus cruise emissions for flights departing from Europe). This commitment by the Group’s European airports is particularly disruptive, given the very broad scope of CO 2 emissions covered. It is based on a regulatory framework whose environmental ambition is growing (Fit for 55, National Low Carbon Strategy for the decarbonisation of road mobility in France), and on the commitments of airlines (IATA airlines have announced a “net zero” ambition for 2050).

1.4. Avoid/reduce operational waste and maximise material recovery. 1.5. Preserve the environment: water, soil, and biodiversity; reduce the biodiversity footprint of our value chain. This inclusion of the value chain echoes the biodiversity commitments made in act4nature international. 2. Actively participate in the environmental transition in the aviation sector 2.1. Bring together the conditions for receiving transitional technologies (SAF) and technological breakthroughs (hydrogen, electricity). This role of facilitating the environmental transition of air transport, played by airports, is key to the success of the commitments made by airlines. 2.2.Contribute to the improvement of operations (ground handling, taxiing, flight phase of the LTO cycle), resulting in the decarbonisation of aviation activities on the airport perimeter, the improvement of air quality, and the reduction of air traffic noise. 2.3.Contribute to exemplary environmental work in the aviation sector (fight against the trafficking of protected species, waste reduction, etc.). 3. Promote the integration of each airport into a system of local resources 3.1. Develop an industrial and regional ecology strategy for construction materials and energy. 3.2.Measure and monitor air quality and noise exposure to protect the health of local residents. The theme of noise and health will be more broadly addressed in Groupe ADP’s societal policy. 3.3.Be a privileged partner of the regions and scientific and non-profit organisations in terms of biodiversity conservation and awareness. 4. Reduce the environmental footprint of airport activity development projects 4.1. Implement a low-carbon construction and circular economy policy; build as little as possible, and in a modular and flexible way; implement environmental governance for investment projects, with a carbon and biodiversity budget. This ambition to have carbon and biodiversity budgets is rooted in the climate and biodiversity conservation emergencies, regularly reviewed by the IPCC and IPBES. 4.2.Limit the environmental impact of development projects and construction sites (noise impact, waste, air quality, CO 2 , etc.). 4.3.Improve the ecological value of our sites, ensure ecological continuity and aim for Zero Net Waterproofing, as part of our project management responsibility, from 2025. This trajectory towards Zero Net Waterproofing is also a strong marker of this new policy. 4.4. Obtain environmental labels for all projects. The 2025 quantitative targets for the performance indicators associated with these commitments will be defined during the first half of 2022.
