OUR ACTIONS

Reduce internal emissions

MOBILISING PASSENGERS

We also participate in the research programmes Sesar 24 and Corac 25 , which aim in particular to modernise the air traffic management system. We follow the work of the air navigation departments to deploy new flight paths with a lower impact. Improving the environmental performance of aircraft ground traffic is being studied together with airlines and air navigation services as part of CDM (Collaborative Decision Making). Emissions linked to access to the airports by passengers and staff members account for 30% of Aéroports de Paris SA's total emissions. To reduce them, we support projects to improve public transport services at our airports and have contributed to implementing inter-company mobility plans. We are also endeavouring to make our fleet of company vehicles greener (see section below "Taking action on air quality") and roll out charging stations for electric vehicles.

REDUCE EMISSIONS WHILE RESPONDING TO AIR TRAFFIC DEMAND The aviation community is collectively committed to reducing the sector's emissions despite an increase in traffic. In 2016, ICAO defined a series of measures to reduce the impact of international air transport and align itself with the goal of stabilising global aviation emissions from 2020 (carbon neutral growth) and subsequently reducing them: optimising traffic and improving airport infrastructure, technological progress in aircraft, development of alternative fuels and the CORSIA global offsetting mechanism. Airlines, aircraft manufacturers and airports are working together to achieve this. We have been involved for several years in discussions on decarbonising the aviation sector.

The industry has committed to ambitious targets,

emissions by 20%.

reduce CO 2

The reduction of our internal CO 2 emissions (scopes 1 & 2) is based on three main drivers: energy sobriety; the development of renewable energies and the purchase of green electricity; the energy transition of vehicles. These drivers are detailed in the sections below "Aiming for energy sobriety", "Developing renewable energies" and "Taking action to improve air quality". Aéroports de Paris SA has also implemented an internal carbon price for all investment projects to integrate climate risk into its choices. This was revised from 20 to 60 per tonne of CO 2 in 2019 and will reach 100 in 2023. Control external emissions We are working with airlines to reduce emissions on the ground from their aircraft, during taxiing and parking. We are rolling out alternatives to aircraft auxiliary power units (APUs) to limit their kerosene consumption in the aircraft parking stand. As such, all of the aircraft contact stands at Paris- Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly are equipped with 400Hz plugs to supply aircraft with electricity. In 2019, a working group on achieving greener ground handling equipment was set up with the Union Chamber of Ground Handling Staff (CSAE) with a view to integrating this issue into the next renewal of ground handling licences.

We are also developing in- flight eco-piloting by adopting the best flight paths and more economical taxiing, as well as optimising the weight on board our aircraft. In addition, 50% of our runway vehicles are electric. All of these efforts have a significant impact on CO 2 emissions and also contribute to reducing noise and improving air quality.

including a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 compared to 2005, an objective compatible with the Paris Agreement. Collaborative work with all stakeholders in the air transport chain is fundamental: manufacturers, engine manufacturers, airports, authorities, suppliers, etc. One of the main drivers is the renewal of our fleet. The latest generation of aircraft can

Passengers at Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle were able to take part in a climate-friendly project by making a financial contribution to one of the three ecological and solidarity projects selected: the conservation of the Amazon rainforest in Peru, the development of biogas in Sichuan, China, and access to drinking water in Malawi. Donations of between 5 and 30 could be made via Groupe ADP's website or app, as well as at one of the terminals installed for this purpose at the airports. These projects are not counted as reductions in Groupe ADP's CO 2 emissions.

OUR ACTIONS

400Hz socket - Paris-Charles de Gaulle

To achieve the carbon neutrality goal for the Paris airports by 2030 at the latest, we will continue our actions to reduce internal emissions and undertake actions to offset residual emissions. To achieve zero net CO 2 emissions by 2050 at the latest, we are considering solutions for CO 2 capture, storage and recovery. Aware of the work still to do,

we are also working with the aviation industry to decarbonise the sector, notably to prepare for the arrival of sustainable biokerosenes and synthetic kerosenes . We are working with ACI-Europe and Airlines for Europe (A4E), to draw up a European roadmap to achieve a drastic reduction in CO 2 emissions by 2050 (Sustainable Aviation Roadmap).
