SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 4 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS 4.2.a SUSTAINABILITY REPORT – INTRODUCTION TO GROUPE ADP'S ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

For many years now, Groupe ADP has incorporated a strong environmental ambition into its corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach, in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, European ambitions and France's ecological transition strategy. Until 2020, the Group's environmental policy mainly concerned airport operations at Paris airports. In 2021, this ambition was extended to the entire life cycle of airports and the value chain of their activities, in France and abroad. Since 2022, it has been at the heart of the strategic vision of the 2025 Pioneers roadmap. Aware of its responsibilities and the urgency of climate change, in 2021 Groupe ADP adopted a new environmental charter entitled Airports for Trust, signed and supported by 23 of the Group's 26 airports worldwide 1 . The environmental component of the CSR policy for the period 2022-2025: 2025 Pioneers for Trust has been developed on the basis of the commitments made in the Airports for Trust Charter. The environmental policy addresses major issues such as the fight against climate change, the collapse of biodiversity and the scarcity of natural resources, to build a new sustainable and efficient airport model. The Airports for Trust charter incorporates a dual structural approach: u environmental transformation: from the positioning of our business to our operating methods and construction methods; u integration in the regions: by reducing the nuisances related to our hubs, and by generating positive externalities to be part of overall urban planning (real estate, energy, mobility).

The environmental pillar of the 2025 Pioneers for Trust CSR policy comprises four major environmental ambitions common to all signatory airports: u work towards zero environmental and energy impact in operation within our scope of responsibility (extended to dealers); u take an active part in the environmental transition in the aviation sector and propose green solutions on the airside; u promote the integration of each airport in a local resources system; u reduce the environmental footprint of airport activity planning and development projects. These four ambitions are broken down into 15 commitments, as shown in the illustration below. These commitments are aimed at transforming our airports into multimodal connectivity and energy hubs, serving the regions. They are also making the fight against climate change and preserving biodiversity key priorities.

1 The Paris airports, TAV airports, AIG, Liège Airport, Ravinala, Nuevo Pudahuel; although they are committed to reducing the carbon footprint of their activities, only the GMR airports (non-controlled ADP investment) have not ratified the environmental charter.
