4 STATEMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Environmental challenges

Our two largest French parks are committed to better energy management through ISO 50001 certifications, i.e. almost half (45%) of the visitor days of the Group’s Leisure parks. In addition, our ISO 50001 sites have each set targets for reducing their consumption. For example, Parc Astérix has identified actions that have had a cumulative effect of 1.4 GWh in efficiency gains over three years (excluding the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 financial years), and Parc du Futuroscope has set itself the goal of reducing its consumption by 20% between 2018 and 2023. Futuroscope is very committed to the energy transition, and in September 2021, it organised, alongside the Vienne Department, the first edition of the “E-Motions Days” entirely dedicated to electric mobility and renewable energies, based on meetings and innovations and sporting challenges. The sites have launched many activity-specific initiatives to reduce their energy consumption. These include: l the regrouping of the Paris and Chambéry offices at energy-efficient sites in each of the two cities; l the rationalisation of the ski lifts by covering the same ski area with fewer devices, and the replacement (ski lifts, snow-making machines, etc.) by more efficient devices with new engines. For example, the replacement of 27 snow-making machines in Les Menuires will generate savings of 205 MWh per year; l the general installation of LEDs during renovations ( e.g. outside car park at Bellewaerde and video projectors at the Musée Grévin), the purchase of energy-efficient equipment and better temperature monitoring and control: installation of presence-sensing devices, turning down heating and shutting off equipment at night and the installation of sensors on some of the workshop doors which cut off the heating when opened; l the installation of heat recovery devices in machinery and transformers to heat industrial premises, or vice versa, free cooling, whereby low night temperatures are used to cool some of our premises (Chaplin’s World); l regulating the speed of ski lifts depending on the traffic. We are running trials which scan the queue and adjust the speed automatically, as well as conducting centralised monitoring; l installing frequency drives for snow-making (pumps and compressors), the gradual removal of air heaters from the stations, rolling out sub-meters and reducing the circuits followed by vehicles; l the energy renovation of buildings and the renovation of ski huts in Ski areas; l energy audits (Walibi Holland, Aqualibi), or the signing of an energy optimisation contract (Chaplin’s World), or a real estate portfolio assessment (ADS). 4.3.2.2.2 Supporting the transition to renewable energies At Group level, l energy from renewable sources represents 57% of energy consumed, almost entirely from electricity; l “green” electricity from renewable sources represents 89% of electricity consumed.

The fuel consumed by the grooming machines depends very much on the weather. abundant natural snow throughout the season will increase the number of grooming machine hours. The Group has been working to optimise the grooming process for several years now, notably by training the drivers and using GPS and radars, which measure snow levels, to optimise routes, which make it possible to adjust the grooming machine plans and produce artificial snow with more precision. Within the Group, the fleet of electric or hybrid vehicles is steadily increasing and now total 124 vehicles, i.e. 15% of the fleet. The leisure parks lend themselves particularly well to the use of electric vehicles, especially non-specific ones such as lorries and maintenance vehicles, because of the configuration of the closed sites. In addition, the leisure parks are deploying alternative modes of transport within the site with 84 bicycles, tricycles, etc. Fuel oil consumption is mainly used to heat buildings. Fuel oil accounts for 17.8% (compared to only 5% in volume over the year excluding the pandemic) of total fossil fuel consumption. This over-representation in financial year 2020/2021 is due to the low overall consumption of fossil fuels, mainly due to the sharp decline in grooming due to the closure of our sites. Guidelines sent to Group sites request them to keep their use of this type of fuel to a minimum when when undertaking medium-term renovations. For reference, the Bellewaerde site replaced an oil tank with a heat pump in 2015, which significantly reduced GHG emissions, and the Chaplin’s World site was connected to low- emission municipal heating. 4.3.2.1.4 Gas consumption Gas consumption comes mainly from Leisure parks, representing 99% of the 27.6 GWh consumed by the Group. Gas is mainly used to heat buildings and bathing water. Due to the fact its electricity and heat cogenerator is powered by natural gas, Futuroscope alone accounts for 69% 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 and fed into the electricity grid. The Ski areas use very small quantities mainly to trigger avalanches. 4.3.2.2 Energy efficiency and support for renewable energies 4.3.2.2.1 Energy efficiency We continued to monitor and optimise energy consumption through the sharing of best energy saving practices and we must continue to step up our efforts in this respect. For example, in 2019 we offered a more ergonomic version of our electricity consumption management system and put together a set of good practices to allow each Ski area to self-assess or include new aspects in the specifications of new projects and renovations. In 2019, external appraisal missions enabled Parc Astérix, Walibi Belgium and Aqualibi Belgium to identify avenues and solutions to improve the energy efficiency of their business processes.
