CSR REPORT 2020

OUR ACTIONS

Managing green spaces responsibly Good management of the biodiversity present at our airports, the use of local species and the reduced use of phytosanitary products, both on the runways and in the management of our real estate assets, are the main issues that we incorporate in the maintenance of our green areas. Many airports are engaged on this path. In addition, we are deploying an integrated biodiversity management process aimed at preserving the fauna while controlling the risks for airport activities (including collisions), for better cohabitation.

Knowledge and raising awareness

800 plant and animal species listed at our Paris airports since 2015

2020 did not allow us to maintain the participatory tour programme at our Paris airports, with the exception of a tour with “spotters” (aircraft photographers) in June. |We nevertheless pursued biodiversity observations, carried out in partnership with the association AéroBiodiversité 18 . We were therefore able to observe new species compared to previous years (sixty new observations at Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and confirm the presence on our sites of species in decline elsewhere. All data are transmitted to the National Museum of Natural History. In 2020, a partnership agreement was signed with the Seine-et-Marne Departmental Council. In particular, it provides for joint actions and exchanges of data with Groupe ADP. Similar actions are carried out at all our airports: for example, an inventory of bird populations at Amman in Jordan and an inventory of biodiversity at our airport in Liège.

The grasslands of the Paris airports are areas of vast natural wealth and the last biotopes of Western plains: we are pleased to assess, improve and make known this airport biodiversity. ADP and its employees have always supported us and are committed on a daily basis to the sustainable management of these areas. It is essential to continue on this path by mobilising all ADP’s businesses and all airport stakeholders.

And what about tomorrow?

2021 will be an important year for biodiversity: the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) will be held in Kumming, China in May. The World Conservation Congress, organised every four years by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), will take place in September in Marseille. It will also be an important year for ADP’s biodiversity policy, due to the incorporation of our commitments into operational roadmaps for all our airports, with all of our airport partners. We will also study the feasibility conditions for the “zero net artificialisation of soils”, the objectives of which will be defined at the latest by 2022.
