Changing Use of Land Overall, the ground footprint of the aviation industry, as a global means of transportation, is limited to local sites; mostly airports and related activities. As for the Company, its operations are located at a number of industrial sites. The Company seeks to engage with local conservation partners as part of site development and planning. Where impacts cannot be avoided or reduced, the Company works with these local partners on conservation and remediation projects to preserve flora and fauna that are impacted by the Company’s industrial activities. This is done in line with applicable legal requirements. In France, for instance, before, during and after construction works, the Company strives to apply the Avoid, Reduce, Compensate mitigation hierarchy, as well as establish a budget for compensation measures that goes beyond the duration of the project (for maintenance for example). This requires identifying areas rich in biodiversity (in

particular protected species), identifying the potential impacts on biodiversity, and carrying out, if required, the necessary biodiversity inventories and the applicable deadlines in the timeline of each project. Restoring Biodiversity The Company’s space products, and more especially Earth-observation satellites, play an instrumental role in the understanding of biodiversity evolution. See “– 1.2.2 Climate Change – Transition plan – Products and services supporting climate monitoring and adaptation”. In addition, through its corporate community impact programme (including the Airbus Foundation), the Company has supported a number of biodiversity projects that aim to help preserve wildlife and natural ecosystems. See “– 1.2.16 Community Impact”.

Build our business on the foundation of safety and quality

1.2.7 Aviation and product safety

I. Introduction The Company believes that everyone in the aerospace industry has a role to play to further enhance the safety of the air transport system. Flying today is safer than ever before, and collective efforts continue to ensure that it will be even safer by anticipating and responding to risks, threats and challenges. While the foundations of the air transport system are built on regulatory compliance, the safety culture at the Company goes beyond compliance with certification and continued airworthiness

requirements to also focus on safety enhancement activities in products and services. This also extends to the products and services of the Company’s Defence and Space Division that offer communication, collaboration and intelligence knowledge solutions to assist government authorities, emergency service providers and healthcare providers.
