4 STATEMENT OF NON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Environmental challenges
the next three years. In 2019 the Hôtel des 3 hiboux at Parc Astérix was awarded the Clé-Verte label and has embarked on an e ff ective environmental initiative; l Parc du Futuroscope also obtained this certification for all its activities in January 2019 and has set itself ambitious energy and water management objectives. The park continues to share human and ecological adventures through its events and exhibitions: at Planet Power visitors can take a virtual fl ight on Solar Impulse, the fi rst solar-powered aircraft to fl y round the world or relive the Raid Green Expedition of electric cars from Paris to Cap Nord. In total almost half (46%) of the Leisure park visitor-days were spent in Leisure parks with an environmental certification. Alongside this, environmental compliance is part of a Compagnie des Alpes audit plan. Specialist fi rms have conducted a comprehensive environmental compliance review of four Leisure park sites (Walibi Belgium, Bellewaerde, Walibi Holland and Parc Astérix) in the last four years. The results and improvement recommendations are monitored as part of the existing governance (Compagnie des Alpes Executive Management of the site, general and operational management). Employee training and motivation The Group’s subsidiaries also run employee initiatives to raise awareness of environmental protection issues such as waste sorting, eco-driving of grooming machines, green behaviour and the use of chemical products. Reminders are generally included in the induction lea fl ets or at the induction days for seasonal sta ff . The aim is for the environment to become part of operational excellence on a daily basis. ICPE (facilities classified for environmental protection) At 30 September 2019, the Group had 16 facilities classified for environmental protection, including four pending authorisations, three others being registered at prefectures and a number being assessed. At the Ski areas, these are mainly stores for the explosives required to trigger preventive avalanches and cooling towers (for arti fi cial snow- making). For Leisure parks, the facilities classi fi ed for environmental protection are, for example, for looking after aquatic animals for Parc Astérix, the operation of a cogeneration plant and kennels at Futuroscope.
In doing so it became part of the club of resorts which lead the way on climate change, with the aim of demonstrating that joint action and advocacy on climate issues can have a positive impact and that it is never too late to preserve living and leisure areas. l In addition, an audit plan has been introduced at Group level to ensure site practices comply with regulations and to tackle issues over a five-year period, with the help of outside experts. Organisation and dynamic of the Leisure parks For the Leisure parks, the environmental situation is more fragmented with a lesser immediate impact, given that these destinations are in more built-up areas (mostly on the fringes of urban areas). Therefore, according to the size and activity of the Leisure park, environmental issues are not always handled by a dedicated person within the organisation.
