POLICY/OBJECTIVES Historically, Aéroports de Paris SA has always been committed to the fight against this traffic by supporting the competent State services (in particular customs). However, in order for its actions to have greater reach, it was necessary to structure them and deploy them at the national and international level. Through its new environmental policy, Groupe ADP wants to give its combating actions a clearer trajectory, a more international scope and greater visibility. Groupe ADP, like other players in the aviation sector, is highly exposed to the media on the subject of trafficking in protected species. In addition, as mentioned above, France is a “hub” for

this traffic and a large number of animals pass through our Paris airports. In the summer of 2022, it was therefore decided to commit Groupe ADP beyond its commitments concerning its activities and its value chain, within the “Logistics and Transport for the fight against illegal trade of wild species” initiative led by the WWF. This initiative aims to reduce the risk of the illegal wildlife trade benefiting from global commercial linkages, and to make this activity more difficult to implement and more costly for the criminal networks that organize it. The roadmap resulting from this initiative is as follows:

Actions

Details

Key action 1

Employee training: analysing training needs, developing appropriate tools and integrating them into the relevant training systems of companies. Diagnosis of risk management tools: identify risks for companies based on data and information on illegal wildlife trade routes and methods and consult the teams on the integration of this risk into internal tools.

Key action 2

Key action 3 Adoption of a collective commitment: identify priority commitments and promote them within the sector. Complementary action 1 Internal and external communication: disseminate information to employees and economic partners of companies, institutional and sectoral communication on the commitment of members and give visibility to the initiative within the sector by drawing on the meetings of the sector. Complementary action 2 Sharing of information and experiences: sharing analyses on the illegal trade in wild species in France and internationally, feedback on the actions carried out and identification of technological resources with the potential to strengthen the detection of wildlife trafficking.

As a reminder, ADP, in partnership with Air France, has already launched a working group for several years bringing together all stakeholders wishing to get involved in the fight against this traffic. This working group, which led to the realization of awareness campaigns or, for example, the support of land projects (such as the construction of the animal isolation station at Paris-Charles de Gaulle intended to deal with seizures made and reduce euthanasia after seizure) brings together players from the entire aeronautical value chain: SIVEP, Group Europe Handling, TLF Overseas, Chronopost, Les Douanes Françaises, UICN, WWF, Air France and Groupe ADP. MAIN ACTIONS IN 2022 In 2022, ADP’s ambition was therefore to relaunch these initiatives and strengthen them in order to structure its approach over the medium term in the hope that this base could have significant and lasting effects on the decline in this traffic. In this sense, the main actions implemented by Groupe ADP in 2022 are as follows: ◆ In partnership with Air France, the working group at the level of the Paris airports continued its work to identify, catalyse and coordinate the actions of the various stakeholders in the subject. It resulted in the dissemination of a communication campaign within Paris airports raising awareness among passengers in the boarding lounge at the time of major summer departures and in particular to so-called “high-risk” destinations (Africa and Asia). This campaign was coordinated with the posters made by Air France, particularly in the departure airports of African stopovers;

◆ TheWWF charter “Logistics and Transport for the fight against illegal wildlife trade” was signed in June 2022; ◆ An internal working group at Aéroports de Paris SA bringing together all the departments involved in this subject within ADP (airport departments, operations department, communication, sustainable development and human resources) has been created; ◆ Training and awareness-raising actions for Aéroports de Paris employees also took place at various events and in different formats. For example, two “environmental cafés” (internal online events at ADP) on the “fight against trafficking in protected species” (in partnership with Air France) and “Zoonoses”, were organized in the summer of 2022 in order to raise the awareness of all Aéroports de Paris volunteer employees to this issue. The Club des Partenaires Environnement de CDG organized a round table on the trafficking of protected species bringing together stakeholders from the platform not involved in the Paris working group; ◆ The members of the internal working group at Aéroports de Paris were trained by the WWF during a dedicated online session in September 2022. The purpose of this training was to provide the fundamentals of global and national trafficking figures and to offer a particular focus on Paris airports and Paris-Charles de Gaulle in particular; ◆ Additional actions (presentation at the Paris-Charles de Gaulle Cargo Forum and the validation of ADP’s medium-term action plan to combat trafficking in protected species) are planned from 2023.
