Both the organisation of the Board and its composition are appropriate with regard to the shareholding, the nature of Aéroports de Paris’ core business and, in particular, its public service mission as an airport. Given Aéroports de Paris’ activities, directors are selected from among representatives of the air transport world, managers of major French and international industrial companies and experts in the environmental fields in which the Company operates.
