SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 4 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

E1-2 – Climate change [E1-2-24] → Policies in place to manage the material impacts, risks and opportunities associated with climate change mitigation and adaptation [see ESRS 2 MDR-P] To meet the material challenges described above and reflecting the analysis of risks, impacts and opportunities, Groupe ADP is progressively structuring and deploying several policies detailed in this chapter dedicated to climate change: u the climate policy, comprising a climate change mitigation plan – aimed at controlling and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from air transport – and a climate change adaptation plan – aimed at controlling the vulnerability of Groupe ADP assets and activities to physical and transition climate risks; u the energy policy, which is based on two major axes: energy sobriety and energy transition. The energy policy plays a big role in the climate policy, since the environmental transition depends in particular on the energy transition. The energy policy is also one of the two major axes of the transformation of the airport model, as Groupe ADP aims to turn its airports into energy hubs capable of distributing and even producing low-carbon energy on a large scale. [E1-2-25] → Sustainability issues addressed by the climate change policy The environmental policy, named Airports for Trust (integrated into the '2025 Pioneers for Trust' CSR strategy within the overall '2025 Pioneers' strategic policy), integrates the issues of climate change mitigation, saving energy and the energy transition. It also includes commitments and targets relating to efficiency and circularity in the consumption of resources, as well as limiting the Group’s pressure on biodiversity. These commitments also contribute to the fight against climate change. [E1-ESRS 2 IRO-1] Description of the processes to identify and assess material climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities [E1-ESRS 2 IRO-1-20-(a), E1-ESRS 2 IRO-1-AR 9] → Process for identifying impacts on climate change With regard to climate change mitigation, the impact of the company's activities on climate change is assessed and quantified through the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions balance. Groupe ADP's GHG statement has been drawn up in accordance with the requirements of the CSRD and the GHG Protocol. The statement takes into account direct emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) as well as emissions generated by activities in the value chain (Scope 3).

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing the global economy today (World Economic Forum Global Report, 2023). Two complementary strategies are needed to meet these challenges. Firstly, mitigation, which aims to limit the causes of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions with a view to achieving carbon neutrality. Secondly, adaptation, which involves anticipating and managing the inevitable impacts of these changes on economic and environmental systems. This widely shared observation, combined with the double materiality assessment carried out by Groupe ADP, has led Groupe ADP to identify three material climate change issues for the Group and its value chain: u adapting to climate change: airports must adapt to climate change because of the growing physical risks associated with extreme weather phenomena, such as flooding, heat waves and rising sea levels for hubs located on the coast. Adapting to these risks is essential to ensure resilience, security and the continuity of operations. Taking into account the risks and opportunities of the transition to a low-carbon economy must also form part of the studies of the resilience of Groupe ADP's business model; u climate change mitigation: combating climate change is a major focus of Groupe ADP's environmental strategy. Groupe ADP is committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2050 1 . This commitment is underpinned by an ambitious policy of monitoring and reducing direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) and indirect emissions (Scope 3) linked to the activities of stakeholders; u the development of new energy sources: the ability to reduce the carbon footprint of airport activities that emit greenhouse gases directly, and air transport activities more generally, depends on the use of low-carbon or decarbonised energy sources or energy carriers – green electricity, natural gas for vehicles of biological origin (bioGNV), sustainable aviation fuels (SAF-Sustainable Aviation Fuel), low-carbon or decarbonised hydrogen. Airports have a responsibility to become "energy hubs" capable of distributing and even producing these energies on a large scale for their direct use, for use in their value chain and for use in the regions where they are located. Airports also have a role to play in enabling the emergence of these energy sectors, whether by supporting production, helping to increase the visibility of needs or participating in infrastructure planning studies. The challenge of becoming an "energy hub" – also identified as a major opportunity for the transition to a low-carbon economy – is one of the two pillars of the transformation of Groupe ADP's business model.
