While Scope 1 & 2 represent around 0.2% of total emissions each, Scope 3 category 11 – Use of sold products – has been identified as highly material for the Company, representing above 90% of total emissions. The second most material was Category 1 – Purchased goods and services, representing around 2.5% of

total emissions (see figures in table below). For those categories, more precise methodological inventories have been developed (see “– 1.2.17 ESG Data Board – Environmental performance”).

Scope 3 – Use of sold products – commercial aircraft: >90%

Scope 3 – Use of sold products – other products: <3%

Scope 3 – Purchased goods and services: <3%

Scope 1 & 2: <1%

Scope 3 – Total of other categories: <1%

CO 2 emissions from commercial aircraft in operation appear to be the most material category. According to both the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA), air transport represented over 2% of global man-made GHG emissions in 2022. While this makes the decarbonisation of aircraft operations the absolute priority, addressing emissions from upstream industrial operations, including the Company’s own, is also seen as an important objective. In this context, the Company’s roadmap to decarbonisation is intrinsically linked to the entire sector. While the Company has a role in developing and providing technical solutions, the concomitant development of adapted ecosystems will also be a key success factor, which the Company intends to facilitate and enable. In addition, in order to better meet stakeholders’ expectations and develop its own climate strategy, the Company adheres to the CDP, SBTi and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“ TCFD ”) initiatives. In 2023, the Company’s approach to disclosing and addressing its climate change impacts was rated A- by the CDP for the fourth consecutive year (early 2024 release). In addition, the Company has set its first near-term science-based targets to reduce emissions on all scopes, in line with a 1.5°C temperature pathway for its Scope 1 & 2 emissions, which were validated by SBTi in January 2023. The following sections gather information related to the four pillars of the TCFD framework, of which the Company has been a supporter since December 2020. The Airbus Environmental Policy is the top level definition of its guiding principles, vision, mission and associated initiatives relating to the environment. The policy applies company-wide, including to affiliates where the Company owns more than half of the voting rights or has the right to appoint the majority of the board directors. The policy also covers the Company’s employees and contractors while at the Company’s sites or at work under the responsibility of the Company. It takes a holistic approach to measuring and acting upon the Company’s environmental performance by assessing the environmental impact of internal operations, as well as providing capabilities to the Company’s customers to help reduce the impact of the II.

products in operation. This also means introducing a lifecycle perspective aiming to help in mitigating the risks and impacts at all stages of the life-cycle: from the procurement of raw materials, through the design and manufacturing of products, to their in service life until their retirement. Organisation and responsibilities Two main management structures are relevant for the governance of sustainability matters and climate change: the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. As mentioned earlier, the Board of Directors is supported by the ECSC. In practical terms, the ECSC, as a committee of the Board of Directors, oversees strategic decision-making and the execution of the approved sustainability strategy, including areas such as innovation and environmental and climate action. In 2023, the ECSC reviewed and provided guidance on a wide variety of climate-related topics, including climate disclosures, internal strategy related to SBTi Targets and SAF. To support the Executive Committee in environmental matters, including climate-related matters, an Environment Committee (“ EnC ”) was established in 2019. The EnC is composed of a member of the Executive Committee and senior executives company-wide responsible for environmental topics. It meets every two months to review progress and take decisions on all matters related to environmental strategy. The EnC’s review of climate change related topics includes reviewing progress on meeting objectives to reduce GHG emissions, the decarbonisation strategy and climate-related risks. Environmental operations are led by the Sustainability & Environment organisation (described earlier), whose role is to guide the business on environmental matters and to set the policy and deploy, drive and improve the Environmental Management System (“ EMS ”) throughout the Company. The Company’s EMS is based on ISO 14001:2015. It was recertified in November 2022, and confirmed by certification surveillance audits in 2023. The Company’s environmental strategy is implemented operationally by dedicated multi functional teams at corporate and/or divisional level. These cover topics such as industrial and site impact, product operation, supply chain and chemical substances.
