4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
In addition, the Real Estate Department of Aéroports de Paris SA has drafted and implemented a new construction policy for its business park projects. Described in a "signature charter", it contributes to the economic development of the regions. This charter also makes it possible to develop parks according to demanding environmental standards, with the dual objective of a density of built spaces, and the preservation of very large areas for green spaces. Implement a low-carbon construction and circular economy policy; build as little as possible, and in a modular and flexible way; implement environmental governance for investment projects, with a carbon and biodiversity budget Groupe ADP sets itself strict standards to limit primary energy consumption. In addition to the Group's commitment through the ISO 50001 standard already described above, Aéroports de Paris ADP has committed in France to the Ministry of Ecological Transition to define the conditions for voluntary application of RE2020 to terminals although they are not required to implement it by law. In addition, in France and abroad, Groupe ADP is pursuing an ambitious policy of labelling its buildings and is developing a sustainable development and construction policy with a view to obtaining high environmental quality certifications throughout the world (French HQE® and British BREEAM). It has adopted the UN's SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities. Development projects follow a framework that incorporates the themes of comfort, energy, biodiversity, choice of materials and performance of the buildings. Extending its ambitions even further, the Group's new environmental policy now covers all types of building, including passenger terminal projects. In addition, as part of the 2025 Pioneers roadmap, Groupe ADP has set itself the target of setting a carbon budget for all investment projects of more than €5 million. All the projects provided for in the investment plan give rise to trajectory management, with the aim of aligning it with that of the national low-carbon strategy. Aéroports de Paris SA set itself the following target from 2022: u define a binding trajectory for reducing CO 2 emissions within the scope of Aéroports de Paris SA investment projects that is compatible with the National Low Carbon Strategy (SNBC); u develop a tool to assign a life-cycle emissions cap to each investment project carried by Aéroports de Paris SA so that project managers and design teams can work with a set carbon envelope and are focused on seeking innovative decarbonisation solutions; u to be able to compare the emission caps of this trajectory with the sum of project emissions (as calculated by the tool for each project), so as to ensure compliance with the trajectory. Groupe ADP's engineering and construction department (ECP) is a key driver of the Group's environmental approach. Thus, in 2022 and 2023, the department continued its controlled environmental approach from the design phase to execution, giving priority to the management of the ecological impact.
This has materialised, for example, through the development of new practices on our construction sites and in our methods: in ultra-low carbon design (see below), wood design, research approaches, reuse, off-site construction as well as in the development of new, less impactful construction site practices. There have been concrete achievements since 2022: Groupe ADP tested low-carbon concrete with calcined clays (up to 20%) on the composite floor and the concrete infill of the posts of the F footbridge at Paris-Orly, a project linked to the commissioning of the Grand Paris Express line 14 metro station. CO 2 emissions from concrete have been reduced by 30%. Feedback shows a slight additional cost, which will disappear in subsequent projects as the processes are mastered. Lastly, for the first time, Groupe ADP has integrated an environmental impact management approach into a project, resulting in the quantification of the environmental impacts of the various technical solutions using a tool recognised by the profession, the SEVE tool. However, normative and regulatory limitations have emerged. Thus, Groupe ADP carried out studies and discussions with the authorities (civil aviation technical service) aimed at optimising the obligations so that they take into account technological developments, for example, on recycling rates. This approach has led to the development of new technical solutions unprecedented in aeronautics: composite/reverse pavements, draining and infiltrating shoulders ensuring aircraft lift and resistance to jet blast, pavement instrumentation, etc. Lever 5 – Decarbonise purchased goods and services Groupe ADP is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of its purchases of goods and services by integrating ambitious environmental criteria into its procurement processes and engaging its suppliers in a collaborative approach. This low-carbon approach is structured in three stages: Structuring a low-carbon purchasing approach 1. Supplier mapping and assessment The company has identified the 100 suppliers responsible for 80% of Aéroports de Paris SA's Scope 3 carbon emissions linked to purchasing (Categories 1 and 2). These suppliers, which represent the most emissions-intensive contracts, were subjected to an assessment of their climate strategy, biodiversity management and resource conservation, using an environmental maturity questionnaire. Suppliers are classified according to their environmental impact, their share of expenditure and their role in the product life cycle. This assessment has enabled us to prioritise the purchasing categories and suppliers to be targeted for decarbonisation initiatives. 2. Including environmental requirements in purchasing processes Groupe ADP's sustainable procurement policy is reflected in the systematic inclusion of CSR criteria at the tendering stage. Environmental criteria are therefore included in invitations to tender for purchasing categories with a high environmental impact. These criteria are adapted according to the environmental risks (climate, biodiversity, preservation of resources) identified by detailed mapping. These criteria will be strengthened from 2024 with the introduction of a carbon criterion in strategic calls for tender as part of the 2024-2030 purchasing carbon performance plan.
