INDICATORS The Group’s new 2025 Pioneers strategic plan aims to: ◆ preserve 25% of surface area for biodiversity at Paris-CDG and 30% at Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget; ◆ provide the Group’s airports that are signatories to the Airport For Trust Charter with a trajectory to improve their biodiversity index by 2030 (compared to 2020). In addition to the above indicators, the Group’s environmental reporting also monitors the following indicators: ◆ total water abstraction represents the total volumes of water withdrawn from different sources (network, surface water, groundwater, etc.) by Groupe ADP to meet the needs of its activities and of all platform players; ◆ recycled water use rate: the proportion of rainwater collected and reused out of the total water withdrawn; ◆ total water consumption (internal consumption and third party consumption): unlike water abstraction, total water consumption represents the volume of water actually used for the activities of the Group and of its stakeholders. The difference is explained by discharges, leaks and evaporation; ◆ water distribution network efficiency: this indicator calculates the percentage of water consumed compared to the total water injected into the network. It also refers to the rate of water leakage in the network; ◆ existence of an assessment of the ecological value of the site (biodiversity index): the definition of the group’s biodiversity index is still under construction;
Liège is also very involved in reducing its water consumption. This involves annual leak detection audits carried out by an external organization and the recycling of rainwater from office buildings (sanitary use and cleaning). Soil, subsoil and groundwater An update of the internal procedures for the prevention and management of soil pollution was finalized in 2022, based on feedback collected at the Paris airports and internal regulatory and organizational changes at ADP. The laboratory and the Real Estate Division have also worked at Paris-Charles de Gaulle to develop monitoring and prevention tools, which could be rolled out widely. Discussions with start-ups specialising in water and soil pollution treatment solutions have been hired to carry out technical experiments. In 2022, Aéroports de Paris SA, and more specifically, the management of Paris-Charles de Gaulle with the help of the ADP internal laboratory have developed, in agreement with the water police authorities (DDT 77), a reconfiguration of the piezometric monitoring network of the platform in order to have a network distributed as best as possible in the Saint-Ouen, Beauchamp and Ypresien water tables over the entire surface area of the platform. The foundations of this ambitious new system, which will be put in place between 2023 and 2025, were studied in 2022. It will enable a significant optimization of the platform’s environmental monitoring. This work will be implemented at Paris-Orly from 2023. On the basis of this observation, Laboratoire ADP has formed a partnership with a specialized company and already carried out several internal awareness-raising actions in 2022. As an extension of these actions, a preliminary assessment of this risk at ADP’s Paris region airports (inventory of uses, products and users) has been initiated and will be continued in 2023.
◆ local biodiversity strategy implemented (document/procedure aimed at managing the integration of biodiversity issues into developments): the local biodiversity strategy implemented is the number of biodiversity strategy projects/documents/ procedures taken/will be implemented at the local level through the development of activities; ◆ generalized zero-phyto management on the platform. 4.3.1.2 Theme 2: Actively participate in the environmental transition in the aviation sector
Commitment 2.1: Bring together the conditions for transitioning technologies (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) and technological breakthroughs (hydrogen and electricity) The strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from air transport involves the ability of airports to massively distribute a variety of decarbonized or low-carbon energy carriers such as: electricity, sustainable aviation fuels and hydrogen. Airports, with their own energy transition challenges, combined with those of their areas of influence and all stakeholders in the airport and air transport ecosystem, have many assets to be catalysts for the development of these “new energies” in France and in the regions where they are located.
The airports must initiate their transformation into “energy hubs”, able to distribute this new energy in very large quantities and at a competitive cost. POLICY/OBJECTIVES Groupe ADP’s new environmental policy no longer focuses solely on the emissions for which we are directly responsible. Indeed, we work with the entire sector for the global decarbonization of air transport. The most structuring objective illustrating this strong commitment is the achievement of net-zero emissions on the ground by 2050 (as described in the Chapter: “Commitment 1.3: Become a carbon neutral territory by 2050 (geographical scope – scopes 1 & 2 and all emissions) on the ground – increased by cruise emissions for flights departing from Europe”.
