4 STATEMENT OF NON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Environmental challenges

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 a ff ect travel to our sites by private car (more expensive to get there, tra ffi c 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 7 Group resorts have signed an agreement with Snowcarbon to promote train and bus packages to the resorts; Travelski, a Group subsidiary, arranges travel by public transport for most of its groups (around 22,000 visitors each season); l promoting public transport or including a “car share” section on the website ( e.g. Futuroscope and Parc Astérix) to help people to fi nd 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 o ff er simple, fl exible and comfortable alternative high-impact travel to our di ff erent sites. Biodiversity protection is therefore a major environmental challenge for the Group. The exceptional natural environment in which we operate is an intangible component of our work tool and also the place where many of our employees and their families live. Until we have a performance indicator to measure our impact on biodiversity we have decided to calculate it using an averages indicator system. We have not in fact found an easily-measurable performance indicator suitable for the di ff erent types of activities we operate, and their impacts, including ad hoc meetings organised by the Biodiversity 4.3.3 BIODIVERSITY AND LANDSCAPE

Employee travel to our destinations In terms of road transport, seven Ski areas out of nine 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 bene fi t 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 o ff ers 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 or the gondola lift from Venosc to Deux Alpes with an extended timetable); l car sharing is o ff ered through membership of GMDS at Green Wayz- up, for example, which puts users from di ff erent companies in Haute Savoie in touch with each other via a mobile app, a partnership with Klaxit at Futuroscope or posting timetables in sta ff rooms and at operator companies; l one of our Belgian sites compensates sta ff who cycle to work and ADS at Les Arcs o ff ers 101 employees subsidised parking at the foot of the funicular; l fi nally, head o ffi ce sta ff 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.

Research Foundation. As a member of the B4B+ club ( Entreprises pour une Biodiversité Positive – companies for positive biodiversity), we monitor the GBS (Global Biodiversity Score ™ ) and similar indicators closely. We are aware that the farming model of the restaurant facilities at our Leisure parks can, in some cases, have a signi fi cant impact on biodiversity. So we are looking into introducing our own composite indicator for supplies.
