Airbus // Universal Registration Document 2021

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

Protecting the future of our planet 2021 saw a multitude of employee-led initiatives aimed at positive environmental action. Employees from several countries including China, Spain, Germany, France and the UK volunteered in projects organised in partnership with local infrastructure organisations to support activities such as local waste cleanup and tree planting. In addition to its long running humanitarian response and youth development actions, in 2021 the Airbus Foundation launched the development of a third pillar focusing on nature preservation and minimising the environmental impact of humans. As part of its pilot phase, the Airbus Foundation joined forces with the Connected Conservation Foundation in a new partnership that aims to help preserve wildlife and natural ecosystems through shared technologies and resources. Under the agreement, Airbus’ high-resolution satellite imagery is being provided and teams are working together with the Connected Conservation Foundation’s on-the-ground digital technologies to help recover populations of threatened species and stop habitat degradation. The partnership’s first project is focusing on novel approaches, using artificial intelligence to search high-resolution imagery pixel by pixel to detect large animals in Madikwe, South Africa and in Northern Rangelands Trust conservancies in northern Kenya.

IV. Outlook In order to strengthen the Company’s collective approach to community impact, a new global framework is in development to be launched early 2022. Aiming to bring together the various business and philanthropic channels for community impact under a common direction, the framework will focus on sustainable, equitable and measurable initiatives focused on three pillars: advancing the support to vulnerable communities, the development of the future generation and protecting the future of our planet. As part of the development of the community impact framework, 23 pilot projects have been selected from across 19 countries with a focus on contribution to the priority themes, ensuring community involvement in the identification of needs and solutions, and embedding impact requirements to ensure that the projects achieve positive, lasting impact for beneficiaries and communities. The outcomes of these projects will contribute to the definition of our impact measurement in 2022. In addition, to support the framework and encourage employee engagement, Airbus, in cooperation with the Airbus Foundation, will deploy a new digital platform in early 2022 that facilitates a direct connection with almost two million community causes around the world.
