4 STATEMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Environmental challenges

followed by 34% for fixed assets and 26% for inputs, with a high degree of uncertainty for the latter items; l 80% of the carbon footprint is due to travel by visitors to the sites, amounting to 40 Kteq. CO 2 . By extrapolating the scope of ADS in a linear fashion according to the number of skier-days, the carbon footprint of the Group’s Ski areas can be estimated at around 305 Kteq. CO 2 over the previous fiscal year. Leisure parks For the Leisure parks, our Scope 3 figures are based on Futuroscope’s GHG emission figures. According to these figures, our Scope 3 indirect emissions are also probably in the region of 80% of our total Bilan Carbone , primarily 33% from transport for the people using our services and a further 33% from the transport of goods. Given the heterogeneity of the Leisure parks (catchment areas, public transport services, etc.) a simple extrapolation is not planned to approximate Scope 3 for the rest of the Leisure parks. Work will be required to isolate the influencing factors to obtain a more reliable estimate. Visitor travel to our destinations The vast majority of our visitors travel to our sites by car. The climate change impacts of the energy transition are likely to affect travel to our sites by private car (more expensive to get there, traffic restrictions and change of attitude to the private car). To counteract this, our Group sites have been experimenting with communal travel options to its sites, which include: l advertising rail travel, for example the train to Futuroscope, Belgian railways to Walibi Belgium and Bellewaerde, train and funicular to Les Arcs, train and shuttle bus to travel to Serre Chevalier from Turin or Oulxor, or ski lift to Méribel from the foot of the valley (Brides- les-Bains or Les Allues); l free station-to-station shuttle buses and shuttle buses from the valley (La Plagne) or from Paris or Charles de Gaulle airport (Parc Astérix), easy public transport options for visitors between the park and hotels (Futuroscope), long-distance buses now stopping at Parc Astérix and Walibi Rhône-Alpes, De Lijn bus timetable now adapted to Bellewaerde opening hours, or Skibus shuttles from Annemasse and Annecy to the Grand Massif; l trial of the Snow express (TGV direct from Paris and shuttle to Val- d’Isère), taking all visitors from the Gare de Lyon in Paris to their accommodation;

l seven Group resorts have signed an agreement with Snowcarbon to promote train and bus packages to the resorts; In addition, Travelski, a Group subsidiary, uses public transport for most of its groups; l promoting public transport or including a “car share” section on the website ( e.g. Futuroscope and Parc Astérix) to help people to find car shares, with car-share areas and stops in the valley. Currently, use of these options is low compared to total visitor numbers. However, these trials and other innovations must be rolled out to offer simple, flexible and comfortable alternative high-impact travel to our different sites. Employee travel to our destinations In terms of road transport, seven Ski areas and two Leisure parks out of seven have provided shuttles for their employees in order to limit the use of personal vehicles and help them get to work. The other sites benefit from an in-town location or are close to public transport. Furthermore, the Group sites are introducing initiatives to encourage travel to work on public transport and to reduce the number of required journeys. For example: l a number of remote Ski areas provide accommodation to some of their seasonal workers. For example, STVI lodges 67 people in the winter, having created 20 new employee rooms in two years, STGM has a complex to lodge around 80 employees, the Flaine Ski Area offers accommodation to approximately 50% of its winter season workers and SAP has 26 rooms for seasonal workers, which met demand for the 2018/2019 season; l other sites encourage employees to use the ski lifts at the foot of the valley to get to work ( e.g. Les Arcs funicular then public transport used by around 400 employees, or the gondola lift from Venosc to Deux Alpes with an extended timetable); l car sharing is offered through membership of GMDS at Green Wayz- up, for example, which puts users from different companies in Haute Savoie in touch with each other via a mobile app, a partnership with Klaxit at Futuroscope or posting timetables in staff rooms and at operator companies; l one of our Belgian sites offers staff who come by bicycle defrayal and provides bicycles in partnership with Blue Bike for station-park trips; ADS, in Les Arcs, subsidises a parking pass at the bottom of the valley at the foot of the funicular for 90 employees; l finally, head office staff have remote working agreements and each Group site has one or more video-conferencing facilities in rooms or on PCs to reduce the need for travel between sites. This practice has naturally increased with the use of teleworking during the management of the pandemic.
