1.2.10 EU Taxonomy Disclosure

The EU Taxonomy is a classification system establishing a list of environmentally sustainable economic activities by defining technical screening criteria for the six environmental objectives defined by the EU Taxonomy, as well as disclosure requirements for corporations. It aims to direct investments towards sustainable projects and activities in order to meet the EU’s climate and energy targets for 2030 and reach the objectives of the European green deal. Recommendations for technical screening criteria were published in August 2021 (Annex to the draft report by the Platform on Sustainable Finance on preliminary recommendations for technical screening criteria for the EU taxonomy). Based on this report, the proposed inclusion of aviation in the EU Taxonomy acknowledges its potential to transition to low carbon activities, through a number of measures including a “best-in-class” approach: in the short-term, aging fleet renewal by Airbus’ latest generation aircraft is recognised as having a significant potential for CO 2 reductions. The Company roadmap to decarbonisation is aligned with the taxonomy approach, as explained below.

Estimated eligibility and alignment if aviation-related technical screening criteria were to be adopted as per draft recommendation: Aviation-related criteria are expected to be included in the Taxonomy in 2022. According to the published recommendations for technical screening criteria, a majority of the Company’s 2021 turnover would be eligible, mainly including the turnover generated by sales of commercial aircraft. Based on the same information, the Company estimates that a significant portion of this eligible turnover could be taxonomy aligned, while meeting “do-not-significant-harm” criteria and minimum safeguards. As per criteria recommendations, the alignment factor would correspond to the proportion of new aircraft sold that will replace less efficient older generation aircraft, and therefore contributing to reducing the overall carbon footprint of aviation. Activities from the Company’s two Divisions may be covered to some extent in future developments of the Taxonomy, while current level of information available does not enable the Company to provide an estimate. Accordingly, “best-in-class” aircraft programme related capital expenditures, and R&D (operating expenses) should be respectively eligible and aligned in similar proportions.
