4 STATEMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Environmental challenges

52.5% of the water consumed by Leisure parks comes from wells (located at Parc Astérix and Futuroscope and France Miniature), followed by municipal water (47%) and to a very small extent, surface water. Leisure parks try to limit their water consumption in various ways such as detecting leaks (installing sub-meters, for example), installing aerated, self-closing or infrared taps and dual flush toilets, and collecting rainwater for sanitary use or to water green spaces. 4.3.5 THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND WASTE The Group is improving its waste sorting and recycling (over 96% non- hazardous) and the last stage will be to fully address visitor waste at the Leisure parks. Efforts to systematically use eco-friendly products ( e.g. reduction at source) and combat food waste will also need to be stepped up, building on current initiatives. Waste recycling At the Ski areas and Leisure parks, waste is generated during two types of period and volumes can vary considerably from year to year. l Maintenance period in which renovation, repair and construction work is undertaken: The volume of waste this activity generates varies enormously from one year to the next and from one site to another, especially according to the investment and works programmes in place. At the sites, the waste generated during this period comes from equipment construction/dismantling and maintenance (metal) and work on ski runs and improvements (wood, organic waste and possibly rock and rubble). l The visitor season: The waste generated by Ski areas during the on-season is mainly paper/cardboard, household waste, glass and tyres (grooming machines and other vehicles). Concerning Leisure parks, most waste is generated during the on- season by the restaurants and cafes, shops and visitors (paper/ cardboard, glass, plastic, aluminium and household waste), and also from maintenance of the green spaces (green waste). Today, the Group sites are focussing their efforts on waste sorting, ensuring it is delivered to treatment channels. l 92% of Group sites practice separate waste collection in the administrative offices; l 100% (1) of the sites sort the main types of waste generated from construction work (back-end) and current operations. It is then taken to specialist recycling channels; l 50% of the Leisure parks have introduced waste sorting and recycling facilities for visitors at some or all of the bins along the paths at the parks. However, where these facilities exist, improving recycling is

Bellewaerde Park also has a treatment plant. Once treated, the waste water is tested internally and through independent external checks to ensure it meets local environmental regulations. Where relevant, the Group’s sites carry out analyses of the water, either before its use in order to check how drinkable it is, or at the time of discharge in order to check its level of pollution. NB: Due to a lack of individual meters, these figures do not include Grévin Montréal and the CDA Productions workshops. a work in progress. The first stage will be to improve the recycling rate of the main types of waste and the quality of sorting. Some of the waste from both these activities is not weighed. For example, rock and rubble generated by summer work at the Ski areas is generally re-used, as it can be used to fill in holes on the slopes if necessary. Some sites take their non-hazardous waste to refuse sites or their supplier and do not obtain a slip to confirm receipt. Because the type of waste varies considerably according to the work carried out, the Group does not keep a record of the volume and weight of the waste generated (with the exception of bio-waste). Extending the life of the facilities and equipment: what Group technicians do each day The Group’s business activities are extremely capital-intensive. The useful life of our fixed assets can be up to 30 or 40 years for the ski lifts and rides. Each day, the Group’s technical teams maintain and repair them to keep them compliant and in good operating condition for as long as possible. Moving and modifying the ski lifts, work which Ingelo (an engineering subsidiary of the Group) began in 2011, has now become its core activity. 13 chairlifts and 9 drag lifts were moved/modified between 2011 and 2019. Our subsidiary has created – and operates in – a second-hand market in which the equipment manufacturers are not present. As a result, Ingelo has become a CDA player in the circular economy, recycling and making the best possible use of old equipment to reinstall it in place of new equipment in new locations. For many years the Group has been retrofitting grooming machines at an average of two per year. This involves refurbishing a vehicle, by simply replacing old and obsolete components by newer ones. This focus on repairing equipment (almost ten retrofitted machines are currently operational at our resorts) increases the lifespan and value of the equipment and recognises the expertise of the teams involved. Finally, in 2020, these reconditioning operations were extended to snow-making poles. Since 2016, this corresponds to a cumulative amount of nearly 1,200 tonnes of steel reused.
