PERSPECT IVE ON THE WORLD AFTER COVID-19

Augustin de Romanet Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

Amélie Lummaux Director of the Sustainable Development and Public Affairs Division

Augustin de Romanet — The Covid-19 crisis has changed the world. Nothing will be as before: the air transport industry, travellers’ expectations, the requirement of corporate commitment and perceptions of sustainable development issues have been profoundly changed. Throughout 2020, we were able to demonstrate solidarity, agility and resilience that now enable us to plan for tomorrow. We are reconsidering our industrial model, ensuring that the entire airport ecosystem is involved in this new strategy: our employees, partners and regions. Amélie Lummaux — The crisis obliges us to further expand our CSR roadmap! We see the opportunity to accelerate changes, with our new purpose as a compass. We are now working to clarify our ambitions, shared by the Group as a whole: the Airports for Trust charter, signed and supported

by 23 of our airports around the world, marks an important step in our strategy of international integration and co-construction of our environmental and societal ambitions. A first step towards a Group-wide CSR strategy, which in particular draws on all the urgent environmental issues, beginning with climate and biodiversity. Two major issues on which we reaffirmed and extended our commitments in 2020. A. de R. — The societal aspect of our CSR approach is just as important as the economic and social crisis looks set to be very far-reaching. With the airport community, we want to make the security of employees’ professional careers and the economic development of our regions a priority. This includes reducing their dependence on airports, supporting the diversification of their activities and skills, and boosting the growth of promising sectors. We also

reaffirm our commitment to local communities: we will continue and expand our efforts to promote education, training, the fight against illiteracy and solidarity towards the most vulnerable both in France and internationally. A. L. — Such changes are only possible with dialogue and consultation. We will therefore develop new tools for dialogue and exchanges with all of our stakeholders and boost existing tools. A. de R. — We will return to better days, without a doubt: let us prepare to welcome them by accepting the idea that the world will change. The desire to travel will always be there, but it will be different: more committed and responsible. Integrating this new paradigm is a tremendous challenge for the coming years.
