Our main risks are as follows: ◆ upstream of the value chain for airport equipment and energy; ◆ during the execution phase for services and works; and ◆ at the end of the waste treatment chain. None of the services purchased generates an “extreme” risk such as explosives or ore extraction. Potential breaches of health/safety/human rights in labour intensive markets are moderate, given French social regulations and the prevention and remedial measures we are implementing. Risk management ◆ Environmental measures For many years, Groupe ADP has implemented measures and procedures aimed at avoiding, reducing, and as a last resort, offsetting the impacts of its activity on the environment in the regions in which it operates. A detailed description can be found in point 1.3 “Improving our environmental performance” of this report. A summary version is presented below. A proactive environmental policy Groupe ADP’s environmental ambition, reaffirmed and strengthened as part of its 2022-2025 environmental policy, requires vigilance that goes well beyond regulatory obligations. The environmental policy implemented in 2016 has made it possible to structure the Group’s approach around concrete commitments in line with European objectives and the national ecological transition strategy (low-carbon strategy in particular). In 2021, the actions implemented made it possible to: ◆ reduce our internal CO 2 emissions by 65% in absolute value compared to 2009 at the end of 2020; ◆ reach a 9.7% share of renewable energy in our final consumption; ◆ achieve a rate of 35% of clean vehicles in our light commercial vehicle fleet. In January 2021, the signing of the Airports for Trust Charter marked a new milestone for the Group by showing an ambition shared by 23 of our platforms around the world. This charter is the foundation of our international integration strategy and the co-construction of our environmental and societal ambitions. The Group’s new environmental policy, which took effect in January 2022, is structured around four strategic areas: ◆ move towards operations with zero environmental impact, in particular by 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). These objectives are translated into 15 commitments broken down into operational roadmaps for each of the 23 signatory platforms of the charter, such as carbon neutrality by 2030 (internal emissions), the development of decarbonised energy supplies, the implementation of a Zero Net Waterproofing strategy, and the preservation of ecosystems and the restoration of biodiversity. Monitoring indicators will make it possible to monitor the application of the actions and their effectiveness The environmental and energy policy is based on the systematic integration of the environment into all activities, notably via the application of the international ISO 14001 standard on the French airports (Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, Paris-Le Bourget, the Issy-les-Moulineaux heliport and the Toussus-le-Noble general aviation aerodrome). In 2021, the integrated management system (IMS) certificates were renewed for Paris-Charles de Gaulle (the results of the audits are pending for Paris-Orly). Internationally, TAV Airports deploys an ISO 9001- and ISO 14001-certified management system at its airports (including Izmir Adnan Menderes and Ankara Esenboga). Ankara Airport also has an ISO 50001-certified management system. AIG’s Queen Alia platform in Amman is certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45000. In addition, Aéroports de Paris has been ISO 50001-certified since 2015 for its energy management system (EMS), applied to its operations and development activities at Île-de-France airports. The EMS includes, among other things, the development of renewable energies (biomass, geothermal energy and photovoltaic energy) and energy efficiency. The certification was renewed in 2021 (renewal audit) Facilities classified for environmental protection (ICPE) Aéroports de Paris operates ICPEs of two categories: ◆ Aéroports de Paris operates facilities classified for the protection of the environment (ICPEs) subject to authorisation, and which comply with specific provisions defined by prefectural decree, such as the thermal power plants used for combustion and refrigeration activities at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports. The Aéroports de Paris laboratory carries out annual regulatory controls and continuous monitoring of atmospheric discharges from these facilities, as required under their operating permits, and a quarterly report is sent to local authorities; ◆ ICPE subject to declaration, complying with the general requirements defined by ministerial decree: charge accumulators, small combustion plants (emergency units), flammable liquid filling systems, etc. Its prevention policy relies on internal expertise, audits evaluating regulatory compliance within the framework of the Environment Management Systems and regular regulatory checks by the public authorities (DRIEE, the Regional and Interdepartmental Division of the Environment, or STIIC, the Interdepartmental Technical Service of Inspectors of Classified Facilities). on the platforms.
