SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY INFORMATION 15 IMPROVING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
◆ auxiliary power units (APUs), that provide energy on-board the planes and for air-conditioning on the ground, and for which use depends on climatic conditions and the power required for the correct operation of the aircraft; ◆ ground handling vehicles used by external companies and required for all aircraft logistics on the ground; ◆ home-work travel for all platform employees; ◆ professional travel for employees of Aéroports de Paris; ◆ passenger journeys to reach and leave platforms; ◆ other sources (internal waste management or third party electricity). Reduction in CO 2 emissions Objectives In phase with the directions proposed by France in 2015, in 2016 Groupe ADP set itself the target of reducing internal CO 2 emissions per passenger at the Paris platforms by 65% by 2020 compared to 2009, while increasing traffic. Aéroports de Paris also intends, as part of its 2016-2020 environmental policy, to maintain Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports at Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) Level 3 and, in this context, continue to decrease its emissions each year compared to the average of the previous three years. To reach ACA Level 3, external emissions (Scope 3) must be calculated, in addition to internal emissions (Scopes 1 and 2), and actions must be implemented in association with stakeholders. The group also has the objective of achieving carbon neutrality for Paris- Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget by 2030. Carbon neutrality concerns internal emissions (Scopes 1 and 2), as well as emissions related to the business trips of employees (accounted for in Scope 3), and implements the offsetting of residual emissions. This corresponds to ACA Level 3+ (neutrality). The 2030 carbon neutrality roadmap for the Paris platforms was validated by the Executive Committee in 2018. In June 2019, Groupe ADP made a commitment to be Zero Net Emissions by 2050 (for Scopes 1 and 2 emissions and without offsetting) for its Paris- Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly platforms in France and Izmir Adnan Menderes and Ankara Esenboga airports in Turkey. This commitment is part of a resolution made by ACI-Europe. To be “Net Zero Emission”, Groupe ADP will continue to make maximum efforts to reduce its emissions (energy and fuel consumption and transition to zero emission energy sources), and residual emissions will be removed from the atmosphere by CO 2 capture projects, followed by storage or use. Achievements and results To obtain their ACA accreditation, airports must demonstrate a decrease in their internal emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) compared to the average of the previous three years. To reduce internal emissions, the following actions are being implemented: ◆ improvement of energy efficiency (see paragraph “Improving energy efficiency”); ◆ production of renewable energies and purchase of green electricity for Paris platforms (see paragraph “Increased use of renewable energies”); ◆ implementation of internal carbon pricing since 2017; the price was reassessed from €20 to €60 per tonne of CO 2 (at the Paris platforms) in 2019. The objective will be to reach €100 per tonne of CO 2 starting in 2023;
◆ energy transition in vehicles (see paragraph “Energy transition of vehicles”). These actions also contribute to the 2030 carbon neutrality roadmap. As for the external emissions of its partners at the platforms (Scope 3), Groupe ADP collaborates with its stakeholders on the following topics: ◆ contribution to the reduction of aircraft emissions during taxiing; ◆ greening of ground handling vehicles; ◆ power for aircraft on the ground; ◆ improvement of the electric power supply for recharging vehicles; ◆ work on auxiliary power units (APUs); ◆ contribution to the Sesar and Corac programmes to modernise the air traffic management system; ◆ contribution to the improvement of public transport services to reduce emissions linked to the movement of passengers and employees when accessing and leaving the platforms (see paragraph “Preservation of air quality”); ◆ deployment of inter-company mobility plans to address professional travel and home-to-work commutes of platform employees; ◆ reduction of other sources of emissions (internal waste management, and third-party electricity). In addition, Groupe ADP is participating with members of the airport community in studies to decarbonise the aviation sector. Examples of outcomes: ◆ Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports, in agreement with the DGAC, have implemented local departure management, which helps to reduce aircraft taxiing times between leaving the gate and take-off, generating significant savings in terms of fuel and CO 2 emissions, and thus reducing aircraft emissions; ◆ to reduce APU emissions, since late 2017, 100% of the aircraft contact parking stands at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly have been equipped with 400 Hz floor-mounted sockets to supply electricity to aircraft, replacing the diesel generators and auxiliary thermal motors; ◆ a working group on the greening of ground handling machinery has been set up with the service companies. Level 3 (optimisation) of Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) for Paris- Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le-Bourget airports was renewed in 2019 (for 2018 data). Level 3+ (neutrality) was also renewed for Ankara Esenboga and Izmir Adnan Menderes in Turkey and Amman Queen Alia in Jordan. This accreditation, all aspects of which are verified by a third party, checks the calculation and reduction actions. Since the start of the ACA programme, the Paris platforms have demonstrated a 69% drop in internal CO 2 emissions per passenger (between 2009 and the end of 2018), which represents a reduction in absolute values of 108,000 tonnes. The target that Aéroports de Paris had set itself, of reducing its internal CO 2 emissions per passenger by 65% by 2020 compared to 2009, has thus already been achieved. The calculation of this target at the end of 2019 will be carried out in the first half of 2020, according to the ACA programme schedule. Internal CO 2 emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) for the six platforms (Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, Paris-Le Bourget, Izmir Adnan Menderes, Ankara Esenboga and Amman Queen Alia), as reported in the ACA, amounted to 130,390 tonnes in 2018.
