Recognised by the Conseil national des achats in June 2016 as “Best purchasing department of the year”, for its actions (organisation, processes, CSR), Aéroports de Paris’ Purchasing Department received the Les Echos Ethics Prize, the Décisions Achats Trophy Silver prize and the EIPM Peter Kraliic prize for the Purchasing Department of the year 2017. Certified ISO 9001 for its quality management system in February 2017, it was also rated 84/100 (80/100 in 2014) by the extra-financial rating agency, Ethifinance, in 2016. Ethics and securing of purchasing and procurement processes For all contracts in excess of €25,000, since 2010, the Purchasing Department has deployed a secure five-stage process, with three gates (validations) and four approvers from one of the following four entities: requesting unit, management controller, Legal department, Purchasing department. This process aims to ensure ethics and transparency throughout the contract bidding cycle. In order to further secure the purchasing procedure for purchases of less than €25,000, the Purchasing Department initiated a programme in January 2015 to place all of the Company’s procurement under its responsibility, with support for managing change and a training programme for logistics experts. Alongside this, the processes and procedures were dematerialised. The purchasing procedure was entirely “zero paper” in 2014. It is fully monitored via a collaborative file management platform and signatures are applied using an electronic tool. The traceability afforded by dematerialisation enhances the reliability of interactions and ensures a better information exchange between the various contributors to the purchasing procedure. A code of purchasing ethics annexed to the Aéroports de Paris rules of procedure establishes ethics with regard to suppliers and service providers. Specifically, this code is provided to employees who agree in writing to comply therewith. Integrated into all new contracts since 2014, the supplier CSR charter supports suppliers in their ethical and code of ethics policies or encourages them to commit to them. The charter makes it possible to cascade information to all suppliers and share with them the major directional policies, values and commitments of the company. Sapin II law and the duty of vigilance As part of the approach steered by the Group Ethics Officer, Aéroports de Paris’ Purchasing Department has defined a methodology to map risks of corruption in the area of purchasing, in accordance with the law. The aim is to determine the level of exposure to corruption according to different criteria: sector of activity, existence and quality of different stakeholders, supplier origin, business opportunities, etc. From this mapping, it has designed an assessment system for suppliers, as a decision tool both before and during the contract. In accordance with the law of 27 March 2017, on the duty of vigilance of parent companies and order providers, the Purchasing Department has also reinforced the systems governing the relations with its suppliers and sub-contractors in the areas of human rights, health and safety and the environment. This approach is jointly conducted by the Group’s Ethics Officer and the Environment and Sustainable Development Department. Monitoring of the CSR and environmental performance of suppliers The rating of bids includes environmental (energy in particular) and/ or social (protected sector, public service returning to work, etc.) CSR criteria depending on the purchasing segment concerned and its level of risk exposure. These criteria are used in the judging process during the

tender offers to ensure that service providers and suppliers progress in areas that are important for the Company and to support them in the long-term as they improve their performance. They account for 5 to 10% of the final rating awarded. In 2017, more than 72% (78% in 2016) of contracts entered into by Groupe ADP (for a target of 75%) include at least one CSR criterion, in addition to technical and financial criteria. In 2017, Aéroports de Paris’ Purchasing Department reinforced its energetic performance criteria in consultations for markets with a strong impacts on Aéroports de Paris’ energetic performance. It integrated an energetic performance criterium, distinctive of CSR criterium, on 60% of markets targeted as high energy consumer (target set at 50% in 2017). Candidates’ level of CSR maturity is evaluated based on a multicriteria analysis grid covering the CSR challenges adapted to the type of purchase, with the support of internal CSR experts, from the Purchasing, Human Resources, Environment and Sustainable Development departments. Candidates must be able to back up their responses with supporting documentation; a CSR expert analyses their response levels and the consistency of their responses with the supporting documents supplied. For the purchase of services with a strong CSR social aspect, which account for more than 30% of the purchasing amount, the Purchasing department calls upon a CSR expert from the Human Resources department. The latter has created a proven methodology to evaluate the maturity of bidders based on workforce related criteria (employment law, health and safety, training, non-discrimination, etc.). Candidates are asked to submit a CSR statement giving reasons for their practices in different areas, along with supporting documentation. The expert analyses the documents and takes part in negotiations which include a discussion period dedicated to this matter. Since 2014, Groupe ADP has decided to expand even further on this approach and verify during the execution phase, by means of social audits, the suppliers’ compliance with their commitments on the different criteria. The Company uses an independent external provider to carry out this audit. In 2017, a partnership was signed with a specialist service provider to ensure that suppliers comply with the regulatory provisions on the underground economy and regulations on facilities classified for environmental protection (ICPE – installations classées protection de l’environnement) throughout the contract. These audits also enable suppliers tomake improvements by implementing improvement plans which include areas for improvement and auditor recommendations. In 2017, seven audits were conducted: two on the works segment and five on the service segment. Several audits are planned for 2018 on the services and maintenance segments. For several years, the Purchasing Department has prepared a detailed report of workplace accidents involving service providers to monitor trends and figures for certain segments and suppliers. Specific steering meetings were organised in 2017 with suppliers in segments with the highest workplace accident rates and action and commitment plans were launched to stimulate a continuous improvement approach. A team trained in responsible purchasing Training and awareness-raising programmes on responsible purchasing have been delivered to buyers since 2007. The goal of these modules is to recap the main CSR issues for Groupe ADP, explain the contribution made by the Purchasing Department to the Group’s CSR performance and, using specific examples, clarify for buyers the means by which the responsible purchasing process is applied on a daily basis. Moreover, the compensation of the Purchasing Director and buyers comprises a variable portion partly based on the achievement of CSR objectives.
