closer to a “natural” cycle and therefore favourable to the reduction of water stress in the regions concerned. The year 2022 was therefore devoted to the definition of the concepts in connection with the Public Authorities (Net Zero Waterproofing), the collection of basic elements (waterproofed surfaces on each platform, potential for removal of waterproofing, etc.) and the identification of technologies that can be used in airports by promoting nature-based techniques. A dedicated working group bringing together the project management departments, the departments operating the rainwater collection and treatment networks, the sustainable development department and the engineering department has been set up and allows for the pooling of objectives and skills. This work will continue in 2023 with the aim of defining the trajectories of Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly and launching the same approach at Paris-Le Bourget. Commitment 4.4: Obtain environmental labels for all projects POLICY/OBJECTIVES From 2022, Groupe ADP has been committed to expanding its environmental labelling objective already present in its previous policy. Initially focused only on its real estate assets in France, this strategy is now being extended to its other types of assets (airports, infrastructures, green spaces, etc.) and internationally. This commitment is based on the following principles: ◆ internationalization: numerous environmental labels exist around the world and therefore provide all of the Group’s assets with standardized, independent and challenging tools to achieve this objective; ◆ challenging: these numerous labels do not currently apply to all of the types of assets at the Group’s airports. This is particularly the case for strictly airport assets such as aircraft hangars, baggage handling, etc. In addition, very few independent labels exist for linear infrastructures (entrance malls, networks, etc.). Research into the best available techniques, or even work with public authorities or private players to develop them, is therefore necessary at the national, European and international levels;
◆ organization: the use of labels enables the various Group entities to have common standards. Thus, the exchange of best practices and solutions is simplified, and continuous improvement is accelerated; ◆ visibility: the use of labels awarded by partners and/or independent authorities makes it possible to highlight Groupe ADP’s environmental excellence, in particular its ability to reinvent the airport model using all of its in-house engineering components. MAIN ACTIONS IN 2022 The year 2022 allowed for continuity of implementation on the Group’s assets. Following the COVID-19 health crisis, the Group’s investment capacities were weakened. Many projects had been suspended, postponed or cancelled. 2022 marks the resumption of investment studies. The Group took advantage of this period to better define its project labelling policy and to consider, with its partners, initiatives to extend the labelling to assets that are usually not covered. In 2022, this resulted in a review of the investment processes to better include environmental issues (biodiversity, climate and labels). This work will continue in 2023 through two areas of work: ◆ training of technical and project management teams in the knowledge and application of design, construction and operation labels; ◆ the design of new projects according to the best applicable labels. INDICATORS ◆ Percentage of new construction, major renovation and development projects with environmental certification received during the year. The advantage of this indicator is to give visibility on the importance of having environmental certification for the Group’s major projects. In parallel with internal communication, and on a regular basis, Aéroports de Paris SA organized numerous events to address environmental issues. The environment cafés, which aim to highlight an environmental theme among all volunteer employees, made it possible to address subjects such as the Green Orly strategy, Groupe ADP’s environmental policy, the fight against protected species trafficking (in partnership with Air France), zoonoses and biodiversity, sustainable mobility, the sobriety plan and its implementation localized by departments, obtaining Airport Carbon Accreditation level 4 for the Paris airports and the first year of the OLGA project 1 . In addition to these cafés run by ADP interns, there are also environmental cafés led by external parties (Citéo, member of the ICAO, climate researcher) on subjects such as the harmonization of sorting and an assessment of the COP 27 and ICAO climate negotiations.

4.3.2 EMPLOYEES AND STAKEHOLDERS AWARE OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE ISSUES
Throughout 2022, and in addition to the specific job training provided to environmental and energy professionals included in the Group’s teams, Aéroports de Paris employees were made aware of environmental conservation and protection and energy management. Information is shared via internal and external communication tools such as the internal newspaper Connexion, the Connexions Infos (internal communication emails that have highlighted the birth of plovers at CDG, the revegetation projects at Orly 4, the animal station in the cargo area of CDG but also the inauguration of the solar power plant in Caveirac), articles on the Aéroports de Paris SA intranet site, articles on the Entre Voisins website and the internal social network Yammer.
1 The OLGA project was funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No. 101036871.
