4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

u promoting airport community initiatives launched by ADP SA ( e.g. , deploying soft mobility, car sharing, etc.) to suppliers; u (Cat. 2) Capital goods: Emissions in this category are linked to our investment plan (for buildings, infrastructures, etc.). Our ambition is to promote sustainable development, sustainable infrastructure and low environmental impact by reviewing our construction methods. The choices made in the design of its infrastructures should help to reduce its environmental footprint. A detailed action plan was also approved: u the introduction, from 2025, of a carbon budget for investment projects over €5 million, over their entire life cycle (KPI 3 2025 Pioneers), u obtaining environmental labels for all new buildings, u exceeding the sector trend in CO 2 emissions reduction u continuous improvement in sustainable construction practices, u examining how to reduce the impact of general obsolescence; u (Cat. 7) Employee commuting: Reducing emissions from employee travel is based on two complementary pillars: 1. A direct consequence of French regulations, through the implementation of France's National Low-Carbon Strategy plans to reduce emissions from light vehicles and transport by accelerating the introduction of low carbon vehicles and the development of the associated infrastructure. 2. Additional voluntary decarbonisation actions integrated into ADP SA's strategy, which aims to: u firstly, develop service stations on its hubs for new vehicle energy sources (electricity, low-carbon hydrogen, etc.), u secondly, to reduce the use of private cars by developing intermodality (new intermodal stations at Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget), public transport (new metro lines at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris Orly and Paris-Le Bourget, CDG Express line, promoting car-sharing) and soft mobility (creating cycle paths linked to surrounding districts); u (Cat. 11) Use of sold products The decarbonisation of this category is directly linked to the decarbonisation of aircraft operations in and out of our airports as part of the roadmap to reduce emissions from air transport, which is also at the very heart of ADP SA's strategy: u the reduction in emissions linked to auxiliary power units is made possible by the electrification, carried out by ADP SA, of ground operations in aircraft stands (400 Hz and the deployment of the pre-conditioned air unit), u the reduction of LTO cycle emissions, based on the continuous improvement of aircraft engine performance, the optimisation of aircraft taxiing operations and the introduction of new low-carbon energies such as SAF or low-carbon hydrogen.

The various actions taken by Groupe ADP to reduce the emissions from these sources and the overall quantitative contributions of the different levers are detailed in paragraph [E1-1-14] → Disclosure of the transition plan for climate change mitigation. Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) decarbonisation targets This section details the ACA targets defined for the scope of an airport hub. ACA (Airport Carbon Accreditation) is a programme developed by the ACI (Airport Council International). It is a globally recognised carbon certification programme for airports. It independently assesses and recognises the efforts made by airports to manage and reduce their carbon emissions through 7 levels of certification (from the lowest to the highest: 1, 2, 3, 3+, 4, 4+, 5). These levels are used to classify and assess the maturity of hubs in terms of carbon management, by evaluating their transition plan and their management of greenhouse gas emissions. [E1-4-32] → Tracking effectiveness of policies and actions through targets [see ESRS 2 MDR-T] The first pillar of the environmental policy – "Move towards operations with zero environmental impact" – defines the climate targets to be achieved by the Group's hubs (signatories to the Airports for Trust charter), in particular through its first climate commitment: "Implement the roadmap to reduce and offset 100% of our internal emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) on all our hubs by 2030 and achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2030 for Paris-Orly and Paris Le Bourget – 2035 for Paris-Charles de Gaulle – 2050 for the other committed hubs". The reporting scope for this area covers internal emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) corresponding to energy production (heat, cold, electricity – Scope 1), the use of service vehicles (Scope 1), refrigerant leaks and the use of winter products (Scope 1) and energy purchases and consumption (Scope 2). These emission reduction, offsetting and net-zero targets 1 are part of the ACA reference framework. Each of the seven levels of the ACA programme has requirements in terms of publishing GHG emissions and defining decarbonisation targets (see the diagram below and: https://www.airportcarbonaccreditation.org/about/7 levels-of-accreditation/). In terms of decarbonisation targets, level 4 platforms and above are obliged to formulate a long term absolute reduction target for their Scopes 1 & 2 emissions that is compatible with the IPCC's 1.5°C or 2.0°C trajectories. These targets must be associated with decarbonisation trajectories that are consistent with up-to date action plans and take into account the future development of the hubs' activities. The greenhouse gas assessments, targets and trajectories are audited by independent bodies every two or three years, depending on the level of accreditation, to ensure the viability of the project and the achievement of the targets set. In 2024, 20 of Groupe ADP's 26 airports will be ACA certified, including five at ACA level 4 or ACA 4+ (Paris Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, Paris Le Bourget, Amman (AIG) and Enfidha-Hammamet (TAV)). All of the airports signing up to the Airports for Trust charter are aiming to achieve ACA3+, at least, by 2030.

1 In accordance with ISO 14068 and ISO guide IWA 42:2022: • Carbon neutral: Greenhouse gas emissions are offset without limitation of volume by avoidance or sequestration methods. • Net-zero emissions: Residual greenhouse gas emissions (max. 10% of emissions from a baseline year) are offset by sequestration methods.
