4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

In addition to the activities mentioned above, the Taxonomy also includes activities falling under 7.3, which improve energy efficiency by installing more energy-efficient equipment, and/or activities falling under 7.5, which concern devices for measuring, regulation and controlling energy performance of buildings. Investments for new energy efficient equipment are in the majority of cases aligned. However, this new equipment is sometimes included in a larger renovation or redevelopment investment, in which case it is difficult to isolate the share concerned. In these cases, the Group preferred not to retain the investments concerned. Finally, investments under activity 7.4 associated with the installation, maintenance and repair of charging stations for electric vehicles in buildings are Taxonomy-eligible, and all the investments concerned are Taxonomy-aligned, for €8.3 million in 2024. “Energy” and “Water” activities (WTR 2.1 and 2.2, CCM 4.1, 4.15, 4.16, 4.22, 4.24, 4.9, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4) Investments and income under activities 4.1, 4.15, 4.16, 4.22, 4.24, 4.9, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 are associated with the climate change mitigation objective, while investments/turnover under activities 2.1 and 2.2 relate to the substantial contribution objective linked to water. This includes energy production, construction and operation of heating and cooling networks and electricity distribution. It also includes the construction, operation and renewal of catchment/collection, treatment and water distribution networks (rainwater, wastewater, drinking water, and pressurised water). For the Group, these activities involve the installation and operation of electric heat pumps, the production and distribution of cold, the production and distribution of heat from geothermal energy and bioenergy, the production of electricity from photovoltaic panels and the distribution of high, medium and low-voltage electricity. In addition, Groupe ADP also ensures the construction, extension, operation and renewal of water collection, treatment and distribution networks (drinking water, rainwater and wastewater). All of the investments and associated income from activity 4.9 relating to the transmission and distribution of electricity have been retained as Taxonomy-eligible, and alignment has been determined on the basis of compliance with the DNSH criteria for the various investment lines concerned. Electricity generation using solar photovoltaic technology, which comes under activity 4.1, is Taxonomy-eligible but not Taxonomy-aligned due to the lack of evidence available to confirm compliance with the DNSH linked to the circular

economy. The same applies to investments related to the installation and operation of electric heat pumps, which are eligible but not aligned with the Taxonomy due to the lack of sufficient elements concerning this same DNSH. The systems associated with urban wastewater treatment are considered mostly aligned with the technical criteria of activity 2.2 (Urban Wastewater Treatment). Investments under activity 5.2 for the renewal of water collection, treatment and supply systems are also aligned with the Taxonomy. Investments in the construction, extension and operation of waste water collection and treatment under activity 5.3 and the renewal of waste water collection and treatment under activity 5.4 are considered eligible but are not aligned with the Taxonomy due to non-compliance with certain DNSH. Under activity 4.22, investments in geothermal heating/ cooling infrastructure are considered eligible with the Taxonomy, while only a smaller proportion of these investments are considered Taxonomy-aligned. This category includes investments aimed at adapting networks and facilities to the arrival of geothermal energy at Paris Charles de Gaulle, for which the DNSH criteria have been verified. These investments represent €1.1 million in alignments for the 2024 financial year. However, the project to install geothermal energy at Paris Charles de Gaulle, which represents €12.2 million in CapEx, could not be considered aligned because the life cycle analysis of the geothermal energy was not carried out. Compliance with DNSH could not therefore be verified. With regard to actions aimed at improving or restoring the quality and sustainability of the biomass used at Paris Charles de Gaulle, investments are considered eligible and aligned with activity 4.24 heat/cold production by bioenergy. "Non-hazardous waste management" activity (5.5) Groupe ADP's industrial services cover non-hazardous waste collection at all hubs. If this collection is carried out separately for recyclable waste, then the associated turnover and expenses can be attached to the following activity: "Collection and transport of non-hazardous waste sorted at source". The activities of Aéroports de Paris SA in terms of non hazardous waste management, which represent turnover of €3.4 million in 2024, are fully eligible but not aligned with the Taxonomy. The DNSH criterion relating to the conformity of the life cycle of recycled waste is not immediately available and, as a result, alignment could not be validated for this activity.
