4 SOCIAL, SOCIETAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION Group environmental information

Fossil fuels: gas consumption Finally, gas is mainly consumed by Leisure destinations, which account for 98% of the 33 GWh used by the Group. Gas is mainly used to heat buildings, animal pools and bathing water. Due to the fact its electricity and heat cogenerator is powered by natural gas, Futuroscope alone accounts for 60% of the total gas consumption. However the energy is not only produced to meet the Park’s needs. It is also supplied to neighbouring companies and premises. Breakdown of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions The calculation of emissions was made on scopes 1, 2 and partially on scope 3: fuel used for all Group vehicles, whether leased or owned, was included. The bulk of emissions into the air are due to the consumption of fossil energy (diesel, non-road diesel, gas, fuel oil, petrol for 74%), mainly for grooming, which accounts for 31% of the Group’s direct emissions, as outlined above. While electricity is Compagnie des Alpes’ main energy source, related emissions only account for 23% of total GHG emissions, owing to the prioritisation of renewable energies.

Emissions of coolants only relate to the cooling systems of some computer rooms, as well as the cold storage rooms of Leisure destinations. These circuits are checked every year by qualified contractors and some are recharged. The Group’s GHG emissions, detailed in the table in section 4.3.7, totalled 34,842 tonnes equivalent of CO 2 , split almost equally between the Ski areas (48%) and the Leisure destinations (50%) for the 2016/2017 fiscal year. Notes: z The figures are established in accordance with Article 75 of Act 2010- 788 of 12 July 2010 (the “Grenelle II” Act) and using the emission factors of version 7.71 of the Bilan Carbone, which incorporates the e/ KWh for France between 2016 and 2017. This effect equates to an additional 330 teq CO 2 , meaning the Group’s emissions rose by 28% between 2016 and 2017. When calculated in skier or summer visitor-days, the total emission of the Group’s Ski areas is 1.22 kg of equivalent CO 2 per skier-day, which is the equivalent of a nine-kilometre journey in a car (based on 130 g of CO 2 /km). According to a Bilan Carbone exercise conducted in 2010 by ten French ski resorts, more than 80% of the greenhouse gas emissions generated by ski activities, and recorded at the resorts, is from the skiers’ journey to the site and energy consumption in the buildings (tourism-related residential buildings and tertiary sites). Similarly, total emissions from the Leisure destinations activities is 2.26 kg equivalent CO 2 per visitor, this time equivalent to a 17-kilometre car journey (based on 130 g of CO 2 /km). In the Leisure destinations, there is generally less information available about the Scope 3 GHG emissions. However, based on the GHG emission figures for one of the Group’s French Leisure destinations, indirect emissions are probably in the region of 80% of total emissions: 33% from transport for the people using our services, and a further 33% from the transport of goods. updates of version 13.0 of the Base Carbone. z The electricity emission factor rose from 75 gCO 2 e/KWh to 82 gCO 2
