Improving our environmental performance

Preserving water and soil

OUR ACTIONS

PROMOTING THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY 2.5

Improve the quality of wastewater Improving the quality of the wastewater requires better water control: Wastewater discharged into public sewerage systems and rainwater released into the natural environment is subject to specific monitoring by the ADP Laboratory and the environmental authority; Collection networks and the rainwater treatment systems at all our Paris airports have been restructured to comply with a management plan that meets the requirements of the prefecture ; At both Paris-Orly and Paris- Charles de Gaulle, rainwater is treated by treatment systems before discharge into the natural environment. At Paris-Orly, rainwater and water loaded with de-icing products from aircraft or runways is directed to a filtering marsh comprised of 12 pools of 500 sq.m. each. Filtering is handled by 34,000 reeds planted at the bottom of these pools.

Monitor water consumption

Monitor soil quality

CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND

To reduce withdrawals, we recover and reuse rainwater. In Paris-Orly, we recycle water from treatment plants to supply the toilet facilities and air-cooling towers. We are also installing water-saving toilet facilities in all of our terminals. The toilet facilities at our airports in Mauritius and Liège are supplied by rainwater. We are also working on improving systems for metering water consumption and detecting leaks by installing meters with remote reading. Lastly, we make our staff aware of the importance of managing water resources and train them in the most effective practices and products.

Our laboratory conducts environmental monitoring of soil quality in accordance with the national methodology for managing polluted sites and soils: this involves checking whether the state of the soil is compatible with its present or future use and, if necessary, starting to treat the pollution identified. A map of areas at risk of pollution is kept up to date. Limit soil artificialisation When developing our airports, we strive to limit soil artificialisation and sealing by focusing on maintaining areas of biodiversity and infiltration as much as possible.

The law on combating waste and promoting the circular economy of 10

February 2020 proposes to take our society out of the disposable world and promote a more economical and circular system aligned with the following hierarchy: reduce waste, reuse, repurpose and recycle. Our Paris airports generated 46,000 tonnes of non-hazardous waste in 2019, produced by our activities, partner companies and tenants of our buildings.

OUR COMMITMENTS

We need to develop new solutions for waste collection, recycling and treatment, while also reducing our waste production collectively. At our Paris airports, we are committed to: Achieving in 2020 45% material recovery 12 of non-hazardous waste (NHW) generated internally by our own activities and by passengers in the terminals Recycling 70% of construction site waste Developing the bio-waste sector, green waste and biodegradable food by organising collection together with all our partners Promoting the circular economy through concrete actions

INDICATORS & RESULTS 2019

16,826 tonnes OF NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE

42.4% MATERIAL RECOVERY OF NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE (recovery goal of 45% in 2020)

100% OF CUSTOMERS are offered a BIO-WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE

MANAGING WATER SCARCITY

In Jordan, the water stress constraint is particularly high. The Amman airport therefore set itself the goal of significantly improving its

water management. In 2019, an inventory of water sources and availability was carried out with the University of Jordan. These kinds of studies make

it possible to draw up action plans, including the storage and treatment of groundwater, the use of wastewater to irrigate green spaces, etc.

Scope: Paris airports

(31) Material recovery is defined as the use of waste as a substitute for other materials or substances, particularly through recycling and organic recovery.
