1. Information on the Company’s Activities / 1.2 Non-Financial Information

II. Governance The I&D team is part of the “DEVELOP Centre of Expertise” within the Human Resources function and represents Airbus and its Divisions, with regional I&D focal points supporting the implementation of the I&D strategy globally. An I&D Advisory Board, chaired by the Chief Human Resource Officer with representatives from the Executive Committee and other Divisional and regional executives, meets quarterly and provides top level oversight and input into the I&D strategy, as well as reviews risks or issues raised, providing support on new initiatives, processes or changes to policy and makes appropriate recommendations to the Executive Committee. In addition, local I&D steering committees, championed by “Level IV” managers and executives in the regions, provide additional support to embed and advance the I&D strategy, locally and provide valuable input to the I&D team and advisory board. The steering committees are supported by a network of diversity business champions embedded in the business, who advocate for an inclusive working environment. III. Risk Management Any identified risks related to I&D are recorded in the Company’s ERM and appropriate action plans agreed. Progress is reviewed quarterly. In addition, any alerts related to I&D raised via the Company’s SpeakUp culture, including its OpenLine reporting system, are investigated in accordance with the Company’s investigation process. The Company supports various national and international initiatives such as International Women’s Day, and since 2018 the Company has committed to the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles aimed at empowering women to participate fully in economic life. The Company has also led the “Women in Aviation and Aerospace Charter” and has been instrumental in the development of the “Women in Defence Charter” which demonstrates the commitment of a growing number of organisations across the industry to build a more balanced and fairer industry for women. In order to actively follow the four sustainability commitments, dedicated training courses on I&D related matters are permanently available to all employees and promoted within the learning catalogue and are as well included in the compulsory learning plan. With a special focus on leaders, the Company launched a “Management Basics & Leadership Foundations Programme” to ensure that inclusive leadership becomes the norm at all levels in 2020. In 2022, the MyWay Women leadership programme, dedicated to women leaders of tomorrow, registered 100 women, twice as many as the previous year. To date, this programme has trained over 220 women, including the current cohort. The Company’s leadership development programme attendances are balanced in terms of gender representation. Further dedicated role model sessions called Women@Airbus, digital recruitment events to encourage more women to apply for jobs, have been carried out online with over 400 women participating. During 2022, the Company disclosed its gender pay gap as required by both French and UK legislation, and continues to put measures in place to ensure gender pay parity worldwide. IV. Implementation/Activities Gender Diversity

Gender Diversity in Senior Management – Executives

The Company strives to accelerate female representation in leadership roles. Accordingly, it has set targets for gender diversity in Executives management positions, associated with a dedicated action plan. It includes slots in dedicated leadership programmes, aimed at development of leaders selected from across various geographies and functions. In 2022, performance stood at 16% against a 18% target, which is a 2p.p. increase year-on-year. The company is committed to pursuing efforts, focusing on leadership programmes, mentorship, sponsorship, targeted recruitment and strengthening promotions pipeline to enhance female representation on executives positions. Other Diversity Dimensions The Company is also accelerating change through its employee led Employee Resource Group “Balance for Business” network, which has around 10,000 volunteer members worldwide. Initiatives run through this network include roadshows promoting employee-led initiatives such as peer-to-peer mentoring, confidence building and encouraging employees to challenge stereotypes and build their careers. The network also supports some outreach initiatives. Other employee-led networks such as WIN Together, the Airbus Africa Network, Spectrum (Racial diversity and inclusion), Pride@ Airbus (LGBTQ+), Generation-A (Millennials), Seniors Talent and (Dis)Ability ambassadors networks are key to raising awareness of I&D, promoting inclusion, equal rights and increasing visibility. Initiatives include mentoring, leadership development of under-represented groups as well as conferences and discussions open to all employees. The annual Ability Weeks campaign aims to raise awareness on disability across the Company and worldwide. This includes a series of workshops and awareness sessions on topics such as: digital accessibility, workplace adaptations, mental health care. During 2022’s campaign, more than 3000 employees participated in live workshops, and over 30 events were organised worldwide. These events are also an opportunity for the Company to share some of the initiatives set up internally, such as Airbus Humanity Lab showcasing prosthetic blades made from recycled carbon from a production line. Highlighting that being unique is valued and that difference is welcome, the Company ran an awareness campaign during 2022 to promote awareness of the importance of digital accessibility for employees with disabilities as a means for inclusion. During 2022, the Company also engaged in various social diversity programmes in partnership with a number of different associations to promote quality education and mentorship for young people from underprivileged areas. For example, the Company participated in the French government’s initiative “La France, une chance. Les entreprises s’engagent!” to encourage companies to help everyone find their place in society by taking actions such as recruiting from underprivileged areas, promoting education learning and committing to responsible purchasing (inclusive supply chain). V. Outlook In 2023, the Company will pursue its I&D ambition, aiming at embedding I&D in everything it does. Priorities for 2023 include continuing the Company’s focus on gender parity, while simultaneously strengthening focus on other aspects of
