Preventative measures to reduce and remedy discharge in the soil The Groupe ADP laboratory also carries out environmental monitoring of soil quality, using the National Methodology of the Ministry of the Environment. This makes it possible to check the compatibility of the environmental state of the sites with their uses and/or development projects, and ensures that any on-site pollution is handled. The procedures for the prevention and management of soil pollution risks were updated in 2017. Measures to reduce and recycle waste As part of its 2016-2020 environmental and energy policy, Groupe ADP is committed by 2020 to reducing and recycling waste produced at its airports to save natural resources and taking measures to: ◆ reduce its waste production and encourage its partners to adopt these practices; ◆ achieve a 45% material recycling rate for its internal non-hazardous waste; ◆ recycle 70% of building waste; ◆ deploy actions associated with the circular economy; ◆ develop the biowaste sector by proposing a biowaste collection service to all clients by 2020 and reduce food waste in its company restaurants. The waste collection and processing contracts for Paris-Orly, Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Le Bourget (granted to the same service provider in 2016 for the first two airports, and in 2017 for the third), provide for an increase in recycling rates by reinforcing the waste collection systems at the treatment centres of the collection service provider. At the airports, biowaste and non-hazardous waste are sorted and all administrative offices have recycling points for paper and printer cartridges. In terminals, sorting bins are installed upstream and downstream of the checkpoints. Where possible, Groupe ADP promotes the circular economy. A few examples: ◆ regular action to collect and recycle used work clothes; ◆ during the recent relocations, collection of unused office supplies in good condition to distribute to schools and associations in Essonne, Hauts-de-Seine and Val-de-Marne departments during an Open Morning in 2017; ◆ sorting of leftover food on trays in company restaurants in the Paris- Orly terminal and the Parc Central as well as in some inter-company restaurants in Paris-Charles de Gaulle; progressive expansion of bio- waste collection to all platform restaurants; ◆ organisation of bio-waste processing at a methanisation plant; ◆ recycling of glycol used by Aéroports de Paris during testing of snow-removal machines to manufacture coolant (continued studies to recycle the glycol recovered in de-icing bays). Fight against food waste Groupe ADP makes airport concessions aware of biowaste management and runs awareness sessions along with the inter-company restaurant service providers or the Works Council which manages six company restaurants (five restaurants and a snack cafeteria) at our sites.

Facilities classified for environmental protection (ICPE) The storage and distribution of aviation fuel for aircraft 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 classées pour la Protection de l’Environnement ), they regularly undergo quality and compliance audits by the Regional and Interdepartmental Environment and Energy Department (DRIEE). Aéroports de Paris operates ICPEs such as the thermal power facilities used for combustion and refrigeration activities at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports subject to authorisation in accordance with the specific provisions of the prefectural decree. The Groupe ADP laboratory carries out annual regulatory controls and continuous monitoring of the atmospheric discharges from these facilities, as required under their operating permits, and a quarterly report is sent to local authorities. Aéroports de Paris also operates environmentally classified facilities (ICPEs) for which they must submit a statement of compliance with general provisions determined by ministerial order, such as accumulators and small combustion installations (emergency power 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 or STIIC, the Technical Department of Inspectors of Classified Facilities). Groupe ADP does not operate any classified facility (SEVESO site) that may create considerable risks to the health or safety of neighbouring populations and the environment. Since 2014, Groupe ADP sends a letter to third parties in order to know their potential changes in activities and in ranking of their ICPEs (service stations, SMCA fuel depots 1 , etc.). Actions to limit noise pollution In order to reduce the noise for local residents, a curfew has been in place at Paris-Orly airport from 11.30 pm to 06.00 am since 1968. Moreover, the number of time slots that may be allotted to the airport has been set by regulation at 250,000 per year since 1994. At Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, a limitation of night traffic and a total weighted measured noise index (IGMP) were established by regulation in 2003. Aéroports de Paris continues to take part in the Night Flights working group presided by the prefect, Régis Guyot. As a result of work in this area conducted jointly with the airlines, the continued descent procedure between 00.00 and 05.30 am was adopted in September 2016 and the modified aerodynamics of the Airbus A320 has halved the noise pollution produced by this plane, which is the most common on the runways at Paris-Charles de Gaulle. Differentiated landing charges on the basis of an aircraft’s noise category and the tax on air noise pollution (TNSA) also help to limit noise in that they encourage the use of less noisy aircraft and penalise night flights. The TNSA is levied by the French Civil Aviation Authority, and its proceeds go to Aéroports de Paris and are used for financing sound-proofing measures for the benefit of local residents. Within the framework of this procedure, Aéroports de Paris SA manages the applications for help with soundproofing from residents living near Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports, whose homes are within the scope of a Noise Nuisance Plan (PGS).
