4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT GENERAL DISCLOSURES
To secure skills and make jobs more attractive, Groupe ADP promotes sustainable recruitment for all those working at its airport sites, in order to guarantee the continuity of operational activity, while offering professional opportunities to workers from nearby employment areas and regions. As regards the matter of limiting impacts on surrounding communities, for 50 years, Groupe ADP has been helping to reduce the noise pollution to which local residents are exposed as far as possible by measuring the noise impact of air traffic, setting up traffic monitoring tools and providing soundproofing assistance in accordance with the law. Groupe ADP is also working to optimise airport operations in order to avoid noisy operations, though shorter taxi times, take-off at the runway threshold, continuous descent, respect for slots and engine test procedures, etc. In the same way, Groupe ADP is ensuring that the issues raised by local stakeholders are addressed in an open co - design framework. It engages with their concerns and acts on their proposals to reduce the negative impact of its activities. ADP's commitment to this dialogue is demonstrated by the establishment of Maisons de l'environnement centres across the Group, which serve as platforms for discussion and awareness-raising. Lastly, in order to guarantee a quality transport service for all, making it easier for employees to get to work, for communities to get to where they live and for customers to catch their flights, Groupe ADP is working to increase the density of existing infrastructures, diversifying access modes and expanding the capacity of airports and multimodal hubs. These approaches should enable everyone to choose the most energy-efficient mode of transport, guaranteeing a high-quality transport service for all concerned. With regard to Governance, Groupe ADP endeavours to take into account the effects of preventing ethics and compliance risks on the company's strategy, business model and decision-making. [2-SBM-3-48-(c)-i] → Information on how material negative and positive impacts affect (or are likely to affect) people or the environment See DP ➡ [2-SBM-3-48-(a)] → Description of material impacts, risks and opportunities resulting from the materiality assessment [2-SBM-3-48-(c)-ii] → Information on how impacts result from or relate to the strategy and business model This paragraph sets out the positive and negative impacts resulting from Groupe ADP's strategy. The response set out from an overall perspective, rather than issue by issue. Firstly, as mentioned above, air traffic has an inherent impact on global warming. Groupe ADP, through its performance and profitability objectives induced by the growth in air traffic, is aware of the effect it can have directly or indirectly on global warming. The second aspect is the fact that the industrial activity of Groupe ADP and its clients emits waste and can therefore have an influence on the environment, particularly through water pollution and gaseous pollutant emissions.
The third aspect is a positive external effect linked to supporting and strengthening the economic attractiveness of the regions in which the Group operates. This makes it possible to: u create jobs at the Paris hubs and internationally (the number of employees directly employed by Groupe ADP versus the total number of employees working at the hubs, via customers and subcontractors, is a perfect illustration of this); u develop a local employment pool for the regions (see inclusion, qualifications of staff recruited, etc.); u open up regions in which the Group's hubs are located by interconnecting them (development of transport networks, intermodality, etc.). Lastly, the Group is a responsible employer, promoting and developing an appropriate policy for its employees and/or subcontractors. In this way, Groupe ADP strives to minimise its negative impacts while maximising its positive externalities, thereby combining competitiveness and responsibility. [2-SBM-3-48-(c)-iii] → Disclosure of reasonably expected time horizons for impacts Described below are the time horizons for the environmental topics: This transformation and decarbonisation of airports is leading to a genuine transformation of our airport model into an energy hub. In the long term, the expected gains from these investments are greater than the (short- and medium term) costs incurred, and therefore represent a genuine opportunity for Groupe ADP. "Controlling water pollution" topic Impacts linked to water pollution are likely to occur in the short to medium term. "Limiting our impact on air quality" topic Air pollution impacts are likely to occur in the short to medium term. "Limiting pressure applied on biodiversity" topic Biodiversity-related impacts are assessed overall as likely to occur in the medium term. The time horizons for social and societal topics are described below: Sustainability matter – Occupational health and safety of workers The time horizon for this issue is permanent, to prevent accidents, both in the short term and in the medium and long term to protect employee health. "Securing skills and making jobs more attractive" matter The time horizon for this issue is the long term. "Climate change mitigation and adaptation and development of new energy sources" topic
