II. Governance The Sustainability – Develop & Engage department manages the global strategy and framework for community impact in the Company and supports the operations of the Airbus Foundation. A global network of community impact focal points representing the major markets where the Company operates has been established, as welI as a committee of specific topic experts who provide guidance, assessment and recommendations according to the Community impact priority themes. Community Impact has been integrated into the business at policy, directive and operational levels with a formalised assessment and decision process now in place for corporate donation requests submitted by business lines. Awareness and adoption of the policy is supported by the Sustainability Networks, including the Sustainability Ambassador network which grew by 116% in 2022. In addition, there are standard reporting lines to the Sustainability & Environment organisation with top level oversight provided by the ECSC at the Company’s Board of Director level. The Airbus Foundation and Airbus Foundation Endowment Funds are registered as non-profit entities of general interest under French law, with specific Articles of Association that define their respective mission and remit. Their strategy and operations are led by the managing director and each entity has formal governance with its own board of directors comprised of membership from across the founding companies, employee representatives and external experts. The Airbus Foundation and Airbus Foundation Endowment Fund annual reports and accounts are submitted annually to the French authorities. III. Implementation/Activities 2022 focused on strengthening the Company’s collective approach to community impact, bringing together the various business, non-profit, and employee engagement channels under a collective mission with integrated processes and tools

to support the deployment across the business. Having a consolidated, focused strategy proved vital during a year which saw a compound of societal challenges – communities continued to cope with or recover from the COVID-19 pandemic; climate related disasters; and conflict. All of which not only generated an immediate emergency response need, but also the longer-term impact on the global economy. During 2022, as part of the development of the Airbus Community Impact policy, the Community Impact network implemented 22 pilot projects across 15 countries to test the new strategy and inform the future impact measurement methodology. In November, the Company in cooperation with the Airbus Foundation, also launched the +impact digital platform globally across the Company, providing employees with a dedicated online space to learn about the new policy and partnerships, create and coordinate volunteering opportunities, fundraise, donate and take positive action on sustainability topics. Supporting Vulnerable Communities During 2022, the Company continued to focus on supporting vulnerable communities through disaster response, innovation or fundraising to tackle topics such as poverty, hunger and access to essential services. In addition to the COVID-19 and Ukraine response, partnerships were developed in several regions to support vulnerable community needs. In Asia Pacific, the Company partnered with the Manila Water Foundation to install a clean water station in a school located in a remote province in the Philippines that previously lacked access to a safe water supply. In Latin America, the Company partnered with TECHO, a non-profit organisation that mobilises youth volunteers to fight extreme poverty, to construct transitional housing and implement social inclusion programmes. This partnership resulted in the construction of four homes for four vulnerable families in Santiago de Chile, Mexico City and Sao Paulo, with the participation of Company employees. These homes were built following full consultation
