At the Amman Queen Alia airport, water is supplied by AIG (Groupe ADP) from the water table using wells. Tanks are used to store water and a treatment unit has been set up to supply drinking water. Water from the treatment and purification station is used to irrigate the green spaces to limit abstraction. At the Turkish airports owned by TAV Airports, water is bought from local suppliers or drawn from the water table via wells and treatment stations to ensure the supply of drinking water through the use of advanced treatments such as UV treatment. Regarding rainwater management, in addition to pollution catch basins and retention basins, at its Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle airports, Aéroports de Paris SA has rainwater treatment systems that enable it to meet the regulatory requirements for discharge into the natural environment imposed by inter prefectural decrees specific to each airport. At Paris-Orly, for example, a 2,000 m 2 filtering marsh optimizes this treatment. At Paris-Le Bourget, experiments on filtering techniques are underway. The rainwater collection and treatment network has been restructured at all French airports, which also have guidelines on rainwater management. The Aéroports de Paris laboratory continuously monitors the quality of the rainwater discharged into the natural environment in compliance with the applicable inter-prefectural decrees. This policy allows better protection of natural environments but also of the water resources of the host regions. These elements are communicated annually to local communities, in particular at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, where an annual Water Law Committee is held bringing together the prefectural authorities (the water police in particular), local authorities (municipalities, departments, water network operators, etc.) local residents’ associations, and the relevant departments of Aéroports de Paris SA. They provide an opportunity for an open exchange to collect and answer questions from each other on the basis of scientific studies carried out by ADP, its tenants and the authorities. Soils, subsoils and groundwater Soils are the support of life and at the centre of all natural cycles (water, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, etc.). Their preservation is a vital issue for nature, people and, consequently, for economic activity. Groupe ADP has been committed for many years to the preservation of soil, subsoil and groundwater. In 2012, Aéroports de Paris SA adopted an internal policy and procedure for managing Polluted Sites and Soils, updated in 2022, and has been working with specialized offices for more than 15 years which support it in its remediation and prevention efforts. These procedures and this organization are made necessary by the operation of Installations Classified for the Protection of the Environment (ICPE) ( Installations Classées pour la Protection de l’Environnement ) at airports. Regardless if these ICPEs are operated by ADP or third-party tenants. Thus, a groundwater monitoring network has been set up and is constantly evolving technically and technologically to prevent, monitor, detect and react to any polluting events. This protective policy is translated into prevention tools, such as the internal management of chemical products (use of the best available products and the least polluting/most respectful of human health possible), the introduction into lease agreements of specific clauses on soil and groundwater monitoring (thus acting on the entire value

◆ be a privileged partner of the regions and scientific and non profit organisations in terms of biodiversity conservation and awareness. Groupe ADP is aware of the links between ecosystem services and natural resources provided by nature, climate change, economic activities and the erosion of biodiversity. Thus, to design trajectories integrating all these dimensions and lead to ambitious, concrete and realistic action and resilience plans, Groupe ADP launched studies on the impacts and dependencies on nature (delivery of the study in 2022) and natural resources (delivery scheduled for 2023). Internationally, we note the special position of Ravinala, which has set up a biodiversity conservation program on Nosy Be. This is also a requirement of lenders (to meet IFC Performance Standard 6). Nosy Be, unlike Ivato (urban airport), is characterized by critical habitats (mangroves) and the presence of species in critical danger of extinction and endemic to Madagascar. The program, designed in conjunction with the Biotope design office and validated by the IFC, consists of the following actions, for a period of 10 years: ◆ reforestation/replanting of 20 hectares of mangroves near the airport; ◆ ecological restoration of degraded forests; ◆ sustainable management of natural resources through a Local Basic Community: system supported by the Malagasy administration; ◆ ecological monitoring of the Madagascar Bald Eagle (fishing eagle, a critically endangered endemic species of Madagascar). At the end of the 10 years, it will be possible to analyse the results to decide whether to continue or modify the actions. Drinking water, rainwater and wastewater In terms of the preservation of water resources and their sustainable management, climate change forces us to question our future capacities to meet the water supply needs of the platforms. This is all the more important given that the 2022 impact and dependence on nature study showed that the Group’s first dependence on nature was to have an abundant and high quality water resource. The preservation of water resources and their sustainable management are essential and an integral part of the Group’s new environmental policy. For water, Groupe ADP’s new environmental and energy policy focuses on two objectives: ◆ the efficiency of drinking water distribution networks; ◆ the quantity of drinking water taken in relation to revenue. Note that Aéroports de Paris SA does not produce, but distributes drinking water at its Parisian airports and has a water tower and booster pump at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, whereas Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget are supplied by drinking water distribution points. After treatment, the wastewater produced at Aéroports de Paris SA’s airports is discharged into public sewers. A procedure for monitoring the wastewater produced as a result of the activities of Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget and the industries in the airport zones is in place.
