SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 4 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

"Low-carbon airport infrastructure" activity (6.17)

On the other hand, the failure to comply with the DNSH criteria on the investment to implement an automatic intra hub transport system in the airside area at Paris-Charles de Gaulle resulted in €9.6 million that was not aligned on the "Infrastructure for rail transport" activity (6.14). "Urban and suburban transport, passenger road transport" (6.3) and "Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles" (6.5) activities Investments in the urban and suburban transport, passenger road transport activity (6.3) include the purchase, financing, leasing, rental and operation of urban and suburban passenger transport and road passenger transport vehicles. Investments related to transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (activity 6.4), concern the purchase, financing, rental, leasing and operation of vehicles designated as belonging to certain categories of vehicles specified in the European Union directive. These two activities are considered Taxonomy-eligible but not Taxonomy-aligned due to the lack of sufficient evidence to justify compliance with the DNSH criteria in this area. "Real estate" activity (7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5) This includes the construction, renovation, upkeep and maintenance of buildings owned by Groupe ADP (excluding land), i.e., mainly: passenger terminals, cargo terminals, aircraft maintenance hangars and buildings relating to the real estate diversification activity (hotels, offices, business buildings, etc.). Concerning activity 7.1, which relates to the construction of new buildings, no CapEx has been retained for this financial year as being Taxonomy-aligned for this scope because the DNSH criteria could not be verified. The renovation of existing buildings activity (7.2) refers to structural work aimed at reducing the building's primary energy demand by 30%: For the 2024 financial year, no investments of this type were aligned with the Taxonomy. The objective of making a substantial contribution to these two activities was limited to climate change mitigation for this financial year. As the DNSH criteria could not be verified for both activities, they are consequently considered non aligned. The analysis of building ownership (activity 7.7) requires a measurement of the alignment of each building owned by the Group, and requires access to the Energy Performance Assessment (DPE) data. A significant portion of these DPEs is being reviewed, in the context of the tertiary decree. However, it was possible to identify a few aligned buildings for turnover of €2.1 million in 2024, because they have a class A DPE and/or have an office-type activity whose consumption is among the top 15% of the French office building stock 1 . It should be noted that currently, no similar benchmark exists at the national level for buildings with activities similar to airport terminals.

This includes the construction, modernisation, maintenance and operation of infrastructure necessary for the operation of aircraft whose CO 2 exhaust emissions are null or to the airport's own operations, as well as the supply of electricity on the ground and air conditioning to stationary aircraft. For the 2024 financial year, €4.7 million of CapEx and €15.6 million of turnover have been identified as eligible and aligned with the Taxonomy. The supply of electricity on the ground and air conditioning to stationary aircraft (400 Hz, air conditioning units: ACU equipment, ACU connection points) activities are eligible for the Taxonomy (these are aligned if the other criteria are met: technical, DNSH and minimum guarantees). Although not expressly listed among the infrastructures eligible for activity 6.17 in the delegated regulation, the Vertiports have also been included. Indeed, these infrastructures are 100% dedicated to the operation of flying taxis powered by electricity. These investments represented €4 million of aligned investments in 2024. Concerning airport infrastructure, aircraft emitting no CO 2 are non-existent or rare in the short term. As a result, the activities concerned (runways, aircraft taxiways, parking stands, runway storage areas, aircraft bridges, baggage sorting facilities, etc.) are not eligible and, consequently, not aligned. In this activity, €7 million of investments were considered not aligned with the Taxonomy due to a lack of sufficient information concerning compliance with the DNSH (mainly CapEx related to ACU equipment, for which compliance with the DNSH circular economy could not be verified for this financial year (life cycle of waste generated by the works, etc.)). "Infrastructure for personal mobility, cycle logistics" (6.13) and "Infrastructure for rail transport" (6.14) activities The "Infrastructure for personal mobility, cycle logistics" activity covers the construction, the modernisation, the maintenance and operation of infrastructure for the mobility of people, including the construction of roads, motorway bridges and tunnels and other infrastructure for pedestrians and bicycles, with or without electric assistance. In particular, Groupe ADP made investments to extend and improve the continuity of bicycle paths, representing €3.2 million of Taxonomy-aligned investment in 2024. The "Infrastructure for rail transport" activity (6.14) includes the construction, modernisation, operation and maintenance of surface and underground railways as well as bridges and tunnels, stations, terminals, rail service facilities and safety and traffic management systems. For Groupe ADP and, in particular, for the Parisian hubs, this activity mainly concerns reception infrastructures linked to rail transport access (TGV, RER, metro, CDG Express), as well as engineering structures associated with rail transport (runway tunnels). These investments represent €10.5 million of alignment in 2024.
