SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY INFORMATION 15 DIALOGUE AND SHARING VALUE WITH OUR REGIONS

Achievements and results Aéroports de Paris has entrusted the management of its Hubstart Centre incubator to a subsidiary of the regional Chamber of Commerce in order to integrate it into a regional network. Since 2002, when the incubator was created, 200 companies, representing several hundred jobs, have been supported. Aéroports de Paris takes part in the SME Pact and, via the PLATO network, supports managers of SMEs in its regions, in partnership with the Chambers of Commerce and Industry. Internationally, TAV has launched a start-up support programme and, for the first time, organised an “Airport start-up day” working closely with Groupe ADP’s Innovation Management Division. Facilitating the integration of the most vulnerable populations Policy and objectives In the airport regions, which in the Île-de-France include a significant share of residents without qualifications (26%) and young job-seekers without qualifications (17%), the aim is to set up operational integration mechanisms to allow these vulnerable populations to have access to airport jobs. Access to airport employment is often restricted for local populations by insufficient public transport serving the platform or lack of flexibility to the constraints of airport jobs (e.g. shift work). From the start, Aéroports de Paris has taken part in the financing of the on-demand transport system for employees, set up by Île-de-France Mobilités “Fileo” to serve Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport. Aéroports de Paris also supports the intercompany nurseries of Paris-CDG and Paris-Orly airports and the Habitat Committee that helps airport employees find accommodation. Achievements and results Aéroports de Paris works directly with regional facilitators for integration on three pilot markets to facilitate the sourcing of local populations, diversify recruitment, notably of women, and build career paths to long- term employment. Managing noise and light pollution Policy and objectives To limit noise pollution for local residents, different systems exist in compliance with regulations: ◆ limiting night traffic (curfew at Paris-Orly airport since 1968 from 11.30 pm to 6.00 am and limitation in 1994 of the number of slots attributable at the airport to 250,000 per year); Removing peripheral obstacles to employment Policy and objectives

operations phase by 2037. The results of the study will be presented as part of the continued public consultation on Terminal 4. In December 2019, the Cité des Métiers du Grand Roissy-Le Bourget was opened at the heart of the Paris-Charles de Gaulle platform. Its aim is to direct all local populations towards the jobs available in the region thanks to a more accessible and more comprehensible service offering. Numerous events will be organised, such as apprenticeships using new technologies (virtual reality headsets, etc.) Five recruitment forums were organised by Aéroports de Paris and Paris CDG Alliance in 2019, representing 1,600 job offers. The modernisation of Paris-Orly enabled the creation of 2,600 direct jobs and 8,500 indirect jobs. In 2019, 200 hires for new jobs were recorded for the shops and restaurants.

Supporting regional economic development Policy and objectives

The two Île-de-France airport hubs, contribute significantly to the Île- de-France Region’s economic strategy. The Roissy-Le Bourget sector, a cluster of international networks around Paris-CDG and Paris-Le Bourget airports, as well as the Paris-Saclay sector, an innovation cluster immediately adjacent to Paris-Orly airport, are amongst the more dynamic economic hubs in the regions outside of Paris. The Île-de-France airport systemmakes the Île-de-France the leading aeronautical region in Europe in terms of employment with almost 100,000 jobs, along with 122,000 jobs directly related to airport activities. The three Île-de-France airports provide the region with exceptional international connections, which form an essential asset in its attractiveness. The challenge for Aéroports de Paris is to consolidate this economic momentum and ensure that it feeds the development of local companies. For this, Aéroports de Paris has rolled out three main focuses: Attract projects and companies The aim is to attract companies and project carriers by building on the excellent connections of the Île-de-France airports as well as their own strengths (land availability, real estate assets, presence of key accounts and clusters, etc). The two airport areas carry out promotion and prospection activities under collective brands: Paris CDG Alliance for Grand Roissy and Le Bourget and Orly Paris for Grand Orly. Help local companies to develop The airport activity, notably during the construction and extension phase, is a potential source of contracts for local companies, both for construction and operational work (cleaning, security/caretaking, maintenance, etc). However, local companies often lack the size or financial standing, or sufficient human resources to successfully bid for these contracts. The aim, therefore, is to set upmechanisms, in compliance with regulations, in which access to these contracts is made possible. Encouraging entrepreneurship and innovation The economic momentum of a region depends, and will depend even more in the future, on the region’s ability to encourage and nurture start- ups. In parallel, the airports increasingly rely on external start-ups as a source of innovation. A win-win relationship can be built around the idea of company creation and innovation between the airports and their regions.
