SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 4 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
[E2-2-AR 13] → Actions related to pollution which extend to upstream or downstream value chain engagements As far as ambient air pollution is concerned, as previously outlined, the main sources of pollution are energy production plants. These power stations produce energy to heat and cool the airport's facilities. This energy is mainly produced and consumed to meet the operating needs of the terminal facilities. However, this energy is also sold to third-party tenants of the terminals and real-estate developments located near to airport facilities. The actions set out in this document therefore cover the entire value chain, with a particular focus on third-party tenants and their activities ( e.g., the cooling of IT server rooms) and possibly other stakeholders such as passengers and airport businesses. [E2-2-AR 15] → Information on site-level action plans (pollution) The action plans implemented at each site vary considerably from one region to another. For example: Some airports have limited screening frequencies. These measurements are carried out quarterly or annually at certain facilities, such as Gazipasa, Batumi, Enfida, Monastir and Alamty. They are less frequent at certain other facilities, as in Milas-Bodrum where measurements are taken once every three years. In other regions, measurements are taken on a continuous basis. For example: In Jordan, a station measures the following pollutants continuously (24/7): ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and fine particles (PM1 and PM 2.5 ). In France, Aéroports de Paris SA performs actions to monitor air quality. Accredited by COFRAC, the French Accreditation Committee, its laboratory operates five air quality measuring stations at Paris-Orly (2 stations), Paris Charles de Gaulle (2 stations) and Paris- Le Bourget (1 station). These stations continuously measure the concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NO 2 and No x ), particulate matter (PM 10 and PM 2.5 ) and ultrafine particles (UFP). It also makes an annual inventory of emissions from airport sources ( e.g., aircraft, thermal power plants, induced road transport). The full reports are available online (https:// entrevoisins.groupeadp.fr/donnees/mesure-de-la-qualite-de lair/bilans/). In 2019, Aéroports de Paris SA and AIRPARIF renewed their partnership agreement to continue discussions, notably on calculation and measurement methodologies. Under this agreement, Aéroports de Paris SA contributed in 2022 and 2023 to a general interest study on ultrafine particles carried out by AIRPARIF on and around Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (data sharing, provision of measuring equipment, financing). For more information about this study: https:// www.airparif.fr/actualite/2022/aeroport-paris-cdg campagne-de-mesures-de-particules-ultrafines. Aéroports de Paris SA’s Paris hubs also took part in updating the atmosphere protection plan for the Paris region, which sets out measures to improve air quality in the region. Aéroports de Paris SA contributed in 2023 to the preparation of the fourth PPA (2022-2030).
Aéroports de Paris SA in Paris also takes voluntary measures during episodes of air pollution through its internal "air pollution peak" procedure. This alert is triggered following information from the prefecture to inform and implement emission limitation actions for its own operations, as well as those of some of its subcontractors: [E2-1-15-(c)] → Disclosure of whether and how the policy addresses avoiding incidents and emergency situations, and if and when they occur, controlling and limiting their impact on people and the environment. E2-3 — Targets on the prevention, control and reduction of pollutant emissions [E2-3-22] → [E2] Tracking effectiveness of policies and actions through targets [see ESRS 2 MDR-T] For its ambient air pollution targets, Groupe ADP complies with local regulations. See [E2-1-14] → Policies in place to manage material impacts, risks and opportunities related to pollution [see ESRS 2 MDR-P]. These monitoring and reporting obligations include, in particular, the provision of results to the relevant local air pollution authorities where required. For Paris in particular, the effectiveness of the policies and actions undertaken is monitored annually by the prefectural authorities. The results of this work and any necessary changes to control and reporting systems are included in the related prefectural decrees. In addition, the objectives set can be very different in nature. As we saw in section [E2-2-AR 15] → Information on site level action plans (pollution), the nature of the monitoring, and in particular its frequency, varies greatly depending on the country where the airport is located. The nature of the targets to be met therefore varies greatly. The most demanding targets are those corresponding to sites monitored continuously. The targets set correspond to operating and discharge parameters that enable the plant to be monitored, and hence also its pollutant impact. This is the case in Paris and Amman. In this case, efficiency monitoring means continuous monitoring (24/7) of discharge thresholds and control of the installation to ensure that these thresholds are complied with. The least demanding targets generally correspond to thresholds for monitoring the general correct operation of an installation and take the form of thresholds and tests of the "correct operation of the installation in relation to the nominal operation expected of the installation" type. Groupe ADP maintains, under the responsibility of each of its sites, a complete list of these monitoring elements and their regulatory thresholds. These items can be supplied (in accordance with regulations) on request.
