Facilities classified for environmental protection (ICPE) Aéroports de Paris SA operates ICPEs of two categories: ◆ Aéroports de Paris operates facilities classified for the protection of the environment (ICPEs) subject to authorisation, and which comply with specific provisions defined by prefectural decree, such as the thermal power plants used for combustion and refrigeration activities at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports. The Aéroports de Paris laboratory carries out annual regulatory controls and continuous monitoring of atmospheric discharges from these facilities, as required under their operating permits, and a quarterly report is sent to local authorities; ◆ ICPE subject to declaration, complying with general requirements defined by ministerial decree: charge accumulators, small combustion plants (emergency units), flammable liquid filling systems, etc. Its prevention policy is based on internal expertise, regulatory compliance assessment audits as part of environmental management systems and regular regulatory controls by public authorities (DRIEAT, Regional and Interdepartmental Environment Department or STIIIC, Interdepartmental Technical Inspection Department of classified facilities). Employee awareness-raising Throughout the year, the employees of Aéroports de Paris are made aware of issues relating to the preservation and protection of the environment, as well as energy management 1 : ◆ the various internal environmental communication tools; ◆ “Environment cafés”, digital and/or face-to-face events addressing environmental issues (see Chapter: “Employees and stakeholders made aware of environmental and climate issues”); ◆ the European Sustainable Development Week and the European Mobility Week; ◆ European Week for Waste Reduction, ◆ actions to raise awareness and engage in dialogue with as many employees as possible on various themes: Climate Frescoes (scientific and fun collective intelligence workshops), sobriety plan, ACA 4 certifications of the Parisian platforms, The hOListic Green Airport (OLGA 2 ) project, as part of the European Union Green Deal (https://www.olga-project.eu/): led by Groupe ADP with Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, the OLGA consortium brings together 57 partners and third parties, including four airports, manufacturers, airlines, research players and public players. This innovation project aims to test and then replicate innovations intended to reduce the environmental impact of the air transport sector in a holistic manner (see details in the Chapter: “Commitment 2.1: Bringing together the conditions for the reception of transition technologies (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) and technological breakthroughs (hydrogen, electricity)”). challenges and results of COP27 and COP15, etc. Innovation to enable the environmental transition

Transforming airports into “hydrogen hubs”: a major industrial challenge, airports must eventually be able to supply and distribute hydrogen in very large quantities and at a competitive cost. To do this, they must now build, brick by brick, the local and regional markets in which the zero-emission aircraft can be inserted. Study the implementation of a deposit system for food and beverage packaging in terminals in order to combat the

production of waste on take-out consumables. Financial resources allocated to the prevention of environmental risks and pollution Environmental expenditure

In 2022, no compensation was paid out as a result of court decisions of an environmental nature. No significant restorative action was necessary as a result of damage caused to the environment. Environmental liability insurance Aéroports de Paris has taken out civil liability insurance for environmental risks, which covers Aéroports de Paris’ declared activities. As of 31 December 2022, the payments and provisions recorded on this policy since 2014 by the insurer amounted to €204,467. The hOListic Green Airport (OLGA) project Launched in October 2021, with a total budget of €34 million, including a grant of €25 million over a period of 60 months by the European Commission, the OLGA project will seek to test and then replicate projects in order to reduce the environmental impact of the air transport sector in a holistic manner. Details of this project are presented in the Chapter: “Commitment 2.1: Bringing together the conditions for transition technologies (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) and technological breakthroughs (hydrogen, electricity)”. Transforming airports into “hydrogen hubs” Aware that the capacity for innovation is essential to meet the challenges of tomorrow and respond to the urgency of societal and environmental issues, Groupe ADP launched, in February 2021, with the Île-de-France region, Air France-KLM and Airbus, a call for expressions of interest for the H2 Hub Airport. This CEI enabled air transport partners to understand the potential of an airport hydrogen sector: among the 124 responses received, 11 projects were qualified to contribute to the emergence of a hydrogen ecosystem adapted to airport specificities, reflecting the regional ecosystems being developed on the platforms. Plastic challenge Development of an “alternative to plastic” challenge in our terminals with the aim of identifying solutions and partners capable of proposing viable solutions to replace the use of plastic for terminal trash bags and 20x20 bags used during passenger security checkpoints.
