SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY INFORMATION 15 IMPROVING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
Renewable energy production units at the airports (geothermal plants at Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget, high-performance heat-cooling pump system and biomass plant at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, photovoltaic solar panels at Paris-Le Bourget) covered 15.5% of the internal energy consumption of Aéroports de Paris at 3 th quarter of 2019 (15.7% at end- 2017, 15.3% at end-2018). At the Groupe ADP level, the renewable energies made it possible for around 17,500 tonnes of CO 2 emissions to be avoided; In addition, the Ankara and Izmir platforms operate tri-generation plants. Tri-generation is the production of electricity, heat and cold by absorption, using the same machine, through recovery of heat from exhaust gases. This equipment, if properly operated, enables higher overall energy production efficiency than with separate production assets for each energy vector. In Ankara and Izmir, the use of tri-generation plants made it possible to avoid around 1,240 tonnes of CO 2 in 2019; At the Paris-Le Bourget airport, 100% of the electricity purchased is of renewable origin. At Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle, this rate is 65% and 75% respectively. To go further, Aéroports de Paris is continuing its studies into the potential of deep geothermal energy at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, and in 2019, it began to consider the establishment of a corporate PPA (power purchase agreement with a renewable energy producer). Energy transition of vehicles Objectives Aéroports de Paris is involved in the energy transition of vehicles with a target of 25% of clean vehicles in the light commercial vehicle fleet by 2020. Achievements and results At the end of 2018, Aéroports de Paris defined a roadmap for the energy transition of vehicles, which includes actions to renew the Aéroports de Paris vehicle fleet, deployment of recharging and supply infrastructures and a strategy for greening of airside vehicles and machinery. In 2019, Aéroports de Paris continued to reduce the environmental footprint of its vehicle fleet, which includes 275 electric and hybrid service vehicles (29% of the light commercial vehicle fleet) and has equipped its platforms with charging points (425 at end-2019). Preservation of air quality Policy The 2017 materiality study showed that air quality is a very important issue (8.1/10). Groupe ADP has thus implemented an ambitious policy to reduce emissions of atmospheric pollutants linked to its activities and facilities, and its energy production units in particular. This policy is based on three main areas of work: monitoring, communication and reduction of emissions. Objectives Aéroports de Paris has set four objectives for 2020: ◆ account for 25% of clean vehicles 2 in its light commercial vehicle fleet 3 , reduce the emissions of the other vehicles, develop electric vehicle recharging terminals in its airports;
◆ the replacement of old HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) equipment motors with high-performance motors; ◆ the installation of dual-flow air conditioning units; ◆ investment in new energy-efficient wave concept baggage sorting technologies; ◆ the replacement of thermal and cooling energy production assets with high-performance technologies. In addition, Aéroports de Paris is engaged in the construction of new high-performance buildings. For example, the Junction building (ORY3), which links the former Orly South and Orly West terminals and creates a single terminal for the Paris-Orly platform, was built in 2018 and 2019 using an HQE approach and complies with regulatory requirements and environmental standards. In addition, the “life cycle” approach and an energy performance criterion are included in purchases. An internal CSR-environment purchasing procedure was also deployed in 2018 to integrate the life cycle approach into the purchasing process, in accordance with the requirements of the 2015 version of ISO 14001. This approach takes environmental impacts into account at each stage of the life cycle for the different purchasing categories. Moreover, the Purchasing Division and the Environment, CSR and Regions Division have targeted the purchasing families most at risk through their impact on energy consumption and raised awareness of specifiers and buyers so as to include a specific energy performance criterion. A guide to identifying relevant criteria for “high energy- consumer” segments has been introduced. For these segments, the energy performance criterion is included in consultations during offer rating and is separate from the CSR criterion. In the third quarter of 2019, Aéroports de Paris thus improved its energy efficiency by 9.8% compared to 2015 (the reference year). This improvement was 5.9% in 2018. It is mainly due to progress made in the existing buildings at the Paris-Charles de Gaulle platform: use of new LED lighting, replacement of air-conditioning unit motors, and improvement in the management of facilities that use large amounts of energy. Increased use of renewable energies Objective Aéroports de Paris has set itself the objective of satisfying 15% of its final energy consumption 1 with renewable sources and an 80% target for green electricity purchases. ◆ investing in the development of units for the production of energy from renewable sources at the platforms (biomass boilers, geothermal energy, PV modules and heat-cool pumps); ◆ the purchase of renewable energy (green electricity with guaranteed origins. In this context, Aéroports de Paris has subscribed to an offer of electricity from renewable sources that commits its supplier to deliver 70% renewable electricity to its Paris platforms in 2019 (50% in 2015). The energy company provides third-party certification that this 70% quota was produced by hydroelectric dams, wind farms or solar farms. In addition, the decision was made to move from 80% to 100% electricity of renewable origin for the Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly platforms in 2021. Achievements and results This objective is based on two factors:
1 Renewable energy production at the three Paris airports; final internal energy consumption. 2 Electric vehicles, hybrids or vehicles with very low CO 2 emissions. 3 City cars, management vehicles and small vans.
