SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 4 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
[E1-4-34-(f)] → Description of the expected decarbonisation levers and their overall quantitative contributions to achieve the GHG emissions reduction target To achieve its internal emissions targets, Groupe ADP is acting on three main decarbonisation levers: improving energy performance, producing, distributing and consuming low-carbon energy (see section 2.1.3 Development of new energy sources) and reducing the emissions of its vehicle fleet. Improving energy efficiency is one of the main ways in which airports can reduce their carbon footprint. To this end, Groupe ADP is implementing an energy management system to control energy consumption. The Paris region, Amman and Ankara Esenboğa hubs are ISO 50001 "Energy Management" certified. In Paris, to achieve their climate objectives, the hubs will have to improve their energy performance by saving energy, while maintaining the same level of service. This translates into the following energy ambition, monitored in particular by two internal energy performance indicators: u performance improvement of 6% on electricity consumption in 2025 compared to 2019; u performance improvement of 24% on heating consumption in 2025 compared to 2019. Achieving this ambition is based on two families of action: energy optimisation of the operation and maintenance of existing buildings, on the one hand, and the construction of new high-performance buildings, on the other. The application of an internal environment-energy purchasing procedure deployed since 2018 to integrate the life cycle approach into the purchasing process, in accordance with the requirements of ISO 14001 and 50001 standards, contributes to this ambition. The Group's hubs outside Paris have also translated this ambition into medium and long term plans and objectives. The production and/or consumption of carbon-free energy is a second major lever for Groupe ADP. Several renewable energy production installations are operational or planned at most of the Group's hubs (France, Jordan, Turkey, etc.). They include a biomass power plant at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, a geothermal power plant at Paris-Orly, geothermal power and connection projects at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-le Bourget, and photovoltaic installations at Amman, Enfidha Hammamet and Izmir-Adnan Menderes. Moreover, some hubs purchase electricity from renewable sources, including the three hubs in the Paris region, which have been purchasing 100% of their electricity since 2021 from renewable sources (see details below). The decarbonisation of the Group's vehicles is another lever for action. Since the beginning of its environmental policy, Groupe ADP has been renewing its fleet of vehicles and deploying recharging and supply infrastructures at its hubs in the Paris region and internationally, such as in Batumi and Tbilisi, where a programme to replace end-of-life vehicles with electric or hybrid vehicles has been put in place. One requirement of the ACA is to be able to draw up a decarbonisation action plan relating to the emissions of stakeholders. Groupe ADP is acting on five main decarbonisation levers: preparing for the arrival of new aeronautical energies (SAF, e-SAF, hydrogen from
renewable sources, etc.), making airside activities greener, reducing emissions from access to hubs by increasing rail-air intermodality, reducing emissions from construction and finally from the purchase of goods and services. The first lever aims to prepare our airports and activities for the arrival of new energy sources for aviation, in particular Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and low-carbon hydrogen. Groupe ADP is committed to ensuring adequate political support for the development of SAF and e-SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) advanced biofuels. It is financially involved in SAF production projects to supply its Paris airports. Since 2021, Paris-Le Bourget airport has been offering a continuous range of SAF services at its hub. This development aid also applies to the hydrogen sector, where Groupe ADP is helping to deploy hydrogen in the airport ecosystem through its participation in regulatory, operational and distribution studies. The second lever is the greening of airport activities in airside reserved areas. Its main aims are to reduce aircraft greenhouse gas emissions during the LTO (landing and take off) cycle, and to reduce the use of APUs (Auxiliary Power Units) by deploying alternatives. The Group is also working on stepping up efforts to install electric infrastructure to help make ground handling vehicles greener. Groupe ADP is striving to transform its platforms into multimodal hubs, no longer just places to fly from or to, but places where one benefits from renewed and decarbonised connectivity, offering travellers a choice between different modes of travel (long- and short-distance rail, bus, soft mobility, etc.), and where rail-air connections will account for a growing share of the development of traffic at Groupe ADP's hubs; Groupe ADP is therefore participating in the gradual roll-out of new transport lines (lines 14, 17, 18 of the CDG Express) in the Paris region and is deploying various mobility plans to make its platforms more easily accessible to all. This transition, combined with the future development of the Group's activities, will involve a gradual overhaul of some of our airport infrastructures. In order to undertake this change in a sustainable way, the Group is working on implementing measures to measure and control the environmental impact of its construction activities. One example is the introduction of carbon governance for construction projects via a carbon budget tool for investment projects worth more than €5 million. This tool has been progressively introduced for Paris region hubs from 2023, marking the first stage in the structuring of carbon governance. This tool is intended to be extended to TAV and AI airports, for widespread use in 2025. The final lever on which the Group is working to reduce its external emissions is the decarbonisation of its purchases of goods and services. The Group wants to be able to accurately measure the environmental impact of its purchases and to reduce the emissions from them by taking greater account of carbon issues in the contracts it signs with its suppliers, while encouraging them to adopt a responsible approach. The overall quantitative contributions of the various levers are detailed in section [E1-1-14] → Disclosure of the transition plan for climate change mitigation.
