OUR ACTIONS

On the path to 100% green electricity At all of our Paris airports, we have arranged a renewable electricity supply with a provider guaranteeing that by 2019, 70% of this energy will come from hydroelectric dams, wind farms or solar farms. This rate was 50% in 2015. It will reach 80% in 2020 and 100% in 2021. The Santiago de Chile and Liège airports use electricity from 100% renewable sources. Develop our renewable energy production capacity Although the Paris airports are already well equipped (geothermal power plant at Paris-Orly; geothermal power plant on a probe paired with a heat pump and solar panels at Paris-Le Bourget; high-efficiency thermo-frigo- pump, biomass power plant and photovoltaic power plant at Paris- Charles de Gaulle), the roll-out of renewable energy production units is continuing at our international airports: Liège Airport has invested in photovoltaic installations. The goal is to produce 30% of the electricity consumed in 2020; Santiago de Chile Airport aims to install close to 3,000 solar panels to produce 1,256 MWh of energy per year; Similarly, Izmir Airport continues to be fitted with photovoltaic panels.

The transition to renewable energies is based on two objectives for our Paris airports: develop our own renewable energy production capacity with a view to covering 15% of our consumption by 2020 ; speed up our trajectory towards purchasing 100% renewable electricity in 2021 with an 80% tier in 2020.

Our local renewable energy production will increase

considerably in the coming years with the planned commissioning of two geothermal parallel runways at Paris-Charles de Gaulle (from 2025 26 ), a heat pump at Paris-Orly (between 2023 and 2025) and an investment in renewable energies at Paris-Le Bourget. The roll-out will also continue internationally as opportunities arise. We are supporting the development of French solar power assets: at the start of 2020, we signed a corporate PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) with a supplier (Gazel Energie) and a developer (Urbasolar). We are committed to purchasing all of the solar photovoltaic production generated by the plants they will build specifically for Groupe ADP. As such, we are supporting the creation of three ground-mounted photovoltaic power plants in France (in Var, Gard and Charentes), whose production will account for 10% of Aéroports de Paris SA's electricity consumption.

CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND

Air pollution is a key environmental health issue. According to Airparif (air quality monitoring association in the Paris region, 2018 report), the Paris airports contribute to regional emissions in the amount of 8% for nitrogen oxides, 1% for PM10 and 4% for PM 2.5 particles. Because of their integration into the urban fabric and road infrastructures, airports' contribution to air pollution is difficult to assess locally. Nevertheless, air quality remains a major concern.

OUR COMMITMENTS

To reduce our air pollutant emissions and drive our climate commitments, Aéroports de Paris SA has set four goals for the 2016-2020 period:

INDICATORS & RESULTS 2019

make our fleet of vehicles less polluting, with at least 25% clean light vehicles in 2020 (electric, hybrid or very low CO 2 emissions) and roll out charging stations for electric vehicles at all our airports; develop our own mobility plan and actively contribute to the inter-company plans at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly; reduce emissions related to accessing our airports limit emissions from aircraft on the ground and ground handling vehicles . These goals are part of the Paris region's 2018-2025 atmosphere protection plan. We're strengthening our partnership with Airparif, in particular on the exchange of air quality monitoring data.

72,500 mWh OF FINAL ENERGY PRODUCED from renewable sources at the Parisian airports

or 13.1% OF THE CONSUMPTION OF ADP SA (15% target in 2020)

70% SHARE OF GREEN ELECTRICITY IN FOOD AT THE PARIS AIRPORTS (80% target in 2020)

Charging stations for electric vehicles at the South Environmental and Sustainable Development Resource Centre - Paris-Orly
