4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

u at the national level in France: u the law to accelerate the production of renewable energy (Aper) requires the installation of photovoltaic shade systems in car parks, u the Finance Act, through the definition of the tax applicable to fuels of non-renewable origin (TIRUERT – Taxe incitative relative à l'utilisation des énergies renouvelables dans les transports ) specifies the mandates for the incorporation of sustainable aviation fuels, u more specifically, the measures aimed at decarbonising air transport are reflected in the framework of law No. 2021-1104 of 22 August 2021, which provides for an obligation to fully offset emissions from domestic air transport from 2024, a ban on air connections when there is an alternative by train of less than two and a half hours (with the exception of connecting flights) and a ban on the declaration of public utility for terminal or runway extensions, if this translates into a net increase, after offsetting, in greenhouse gas emissions generated by airport activity compared to 2019. Although not all decarbonisation measures systematically target airport operators directly, any legislation of this type is likely to have an impact on Groupe ADP’s activities, particularly due to increased operating costs for airlines. In this context, the role of airport operators will be decisive for the adaptation and development of airport infrastructure to ensure a supply of decarbonised energy sources. Since 2023, Groupe ADP has taken part in the development of several industry roadmaps: u in February 2023, the French air transport sector revived its decarbonisation roadmap under Article 301 of the Climate and Resilience Act. This work aims to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the National Low Carbon Strategy (SNBC), France's planning tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Groupe ADP contributed to its development and was co-rapporteur, alongside France Hydrogen, on work relating to the integration of new energies for aviation at airports; u mandated by ACI Europe, Groupe ADP has been contributing since September 2023 to the update of the roadmap for the sector at European level – Destination 2050. Destination 2050 brings together five European professional air transport organisations – ACI Europe, Airlines4Europe, ASD (Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe), CANSO (Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation) and ERA (European Regions Airline Association) to lay out the path to net-zero carbon emissions for all flights within and departing from the European area. [2-MDR-P-65-(e)] → Description of the consideration given to the interests of key stakeholders in setting the policy Faced with price volatility in the energy markets and the growing need for low-carbon energy, Groupe ADP's hubs aim to become energy hubs by developing the distribution and even production of renewable energy in their region (photovoltaic, methanisation, geothermal, etc.). These developments will be carried out in a partnership and regional approach in order to meet the energy needs of the Group and its region.

These developments will not only meet Groupe ADP's own decarbonisation needs, but also those of its stakeholders in the regions (heating networks, hydrogen distribution stations, etc.), customers renting land or buildings (photovoltaic, etc.), hub users (multi-energy distribution stations for light vehicles, heavy goods vehicles and ground handling equipment, etc.) and airlines (SAF, hydrogen, etc.). [2-MDR-P-65-(f)] → Explanation of how the company makes the policy available to potentially affected stakeholders, and stakeholders who need to help implement it Several bodies enable Groupe ADP to share the elements of its policy with its stakeholders: u Stakeholder Committee Since 2021, Groupe ADP has had a Stakeholder Committee which brings together 16 independent experts from the climate, aviation, biodiversity, employment and airport development sectors. This Committee brings to the governance of Groupe ADP a collective reflection and a multidisciplinary perspective on key ESG issues. In 2024, the Stakeholder Committee met on 14 March, 29 September and 2 December for thematic working groups and on 4 July and 13 December for plenary meetings. u Paris-Orly Environmental Alliance Launched at the beginning of 2023, the Paris Orly Environmental Alliance now brings together 46 companies from all sectors working at the airport (airlines, ground handlers, security services, hoteliers, etc.) around five major environmental commitments: reducing noise for local residents, committing to biodiversity, recycling and reducing waste, reducing energy consumption and the decarbonisation of all ground activities. u Partners' Club The Environmental Partner Clubs bring together companies working in the airport sector or with activities at the Paris airports (Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, Paris-Le Bourget). The aim of the clubs is to involve the airport community alongside Groupe ADP in the decarbonisation and environmental transition of airports. u Sharing with the regions For discussions with local authorities, please refer to section S3-1 – Policy of engagement and dialogue with local stakeholders. u Cargo Community Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport's Cargo Community brings together the sector's companies based at the hub on a monthly basis, and organises an annual Cargo Forum where issues relating to the sector are shared and discussed. Groupe ADP is also a member of the Air Cargo France Association (ACFA) and sponsors its “Green Club”, which shares best practices in sustainable development.
