ADP CSR Report 2020

CSR REPORT 2020

Groupe ADP aims for carbon neutrality by 2030.

CONTEXT

Our commitments

By showing that the pandemic risk had nothing fantastical, the Covid-19 crisis also made environmental threats more tangible. The World Economic Forum’s 1 Global Risk Report 2021 identifies the climate change risk at the same level as the pandemic risk. This is followed by the extinction of biodiversity, the degradation of the environment by human activities and the depletion of natural resources. There is a general awareness: many governments are mobilising; companies are questioning their capacity for resilience; as for citizens, they are expressing their aspirations in their consumption practices and questioning political leaders. In this context, 2020 was the opportunity for Groupe ADP to reaffirm its commitments and actively contribute to the acceleration of the sector’s environmental transition, the momentum of which was significantly strengthened in 2020.

Aware of the impacts of our developer and airport operator activities, we are making, for the first time, our environmental ambitions a common foundation for the Group as a whole. Published on 19 January 2021 by 23 of our 27 airports, the Airports for Trust charter reaffirms our desire to firmly establish our business in a culture of social, societal and environmental responsibility throughout the world. As a Group, we are therefore committed to:

• Moving towards operations with zero impact on the environment and achieving carbon neutrality by 2030; • Strengthening the integration of airports into their local resource system by promoting short circuits, the circular economy and on-site production;

• Being a committed player with regard to environmental transition in the aviation sector;

• Reducing the environmental footprint of airport planning and development projects.

In 2021, these shared commitments will be incorporated into operational roadmaps for each of the 23 airports that are signatories of the charter. Implemented from 2022, these roadmaps will be based on the actions already undertaken, which will be supplemented by new initiatives at all our airports. While the crisis has reduced our human and financial resources, it has not undermined our environmental ambition: to implement these actions, we are diversifying our sources of financing and responding to various calls to promote innovative projects 2 .
