ACTIONS

Inventorying remarkable species

We regularly take species inventories at our French and international airports with a twin goal: to ensure aviation safety by limiting the risk of collisions, as well as to gain knowledge in order to preserve more effectively. To achieve this, we are furthering our partnership in France with the Aéro Biodiversité 30 association. It is leading a collective approach for the aviation sector aimed at better understanding, improving and promoting biodiversity in airport spaces while complying with safety constraints. In 2019, the Pontoise, Issy-les- Moulineaux and Paris-Le Bourget sites joined Paris-Orly and Paris- Charles de Gaulle in this three-year commitment.

CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND

Water and soil are increasingly scarce and precious resources. Their quantity and quality are essential for human activities and biodiversity – especially in a context of climate change, which tends to impoverish soils and create new water constraints.

OUR COMMITMENTS

Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, Jordan

As an airport developer and manager, we are committed to:

There are multiple initiatives to support biodiversity at our international airports: • At Liège, which is already under zero plant protection management, a biodiversity inventory will soon be taken with a view to defining areas for improvement; • In Jordan, an inventory is being taken to monitor changes in bird populations. We also support the project led by the AIG Foundation to plant thousands of trees around the Amman airport, involving all staff members;

• In Madagascar, our biodiversity conservation programme is being rolled out: we monitor species indicative of the quality of natural areas and support the ecological restoration of secondary forests and mangroves; • At Santiago de Chile, we planted 21,810 trees with local species on 7.27 hectares as part of a reforestation plan and to offset areas destroyed for airport expansion work.

Reducing drinking water consumption by 5% per passenger versus 2014 (ADP SA scope); Establishing storm water management rules specific to each of the areas identified at our airports; Improving the management of winter pollution of water linked to the salting and de-icing of runways; Maintaining and updating a map of site risks and polluted soil .

INDICATORS & RESULTS 2019

4,721,993 m 3 WATER WITHDRAWAL 2019

7% OF WATER CONSUMPTION COVERED by recovered and recycled water, or 330,540m 3

Scope: airports in France and internationally
