SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 4 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Here, we will consider the following two types of activity: u air safety activities, which may result in the destruction of species by animal risk prevention services as a last resort; u construction activities, which, when carried out in semi natural environments, contribute to artificialisation and can damage habitats, potentially affecting species. Groupe ADP seeks to prevent the disturbance of endangered species by implementing the voluntary avoid, reduce, support approach (see DP: [E4-3-28-(b)-iii] → Description of biodiversity offsets) IRO-1 Presentation of IROs related to biodiversity and ecosystems In 2022, Groupe ADP carried out a study on the Dependencies and Impacts of its activities on nature. This study considered the Group's four main business lines: airport operations, real estate, retail and utilities 1 . The scope of the study covered Groupe ADP's three Paris hubs: Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget, across their entire value chain (Scope 1 and 3). The double materiality assessment presented in the introduction to the CSRD chapter is based on the results of this Dependencies and Impacts study. The Group's environmental policy also includes public commitments to the act4nature international programme for the 2020-2024 period. These commitments have made it possible to address a significant proportion of the Group's material biodiversity matters 2 . In addition, the new biodiversity commitments made to the act4nature international programme for the 2025-2030 period are based on this Dependencies and Impacts study. [E4-ESRS 2 IRO-1-17-(a)] → Disclosure of the identification and assessment of actual and potential impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems at own site locations and in the value chain Impacts The impact study was carried out using the generic Corporate Biodiversity Footprint (CBF) methodology, covering the five pressures on biodiversity 3 as defined by the IPBES 4 using international databases such as GLOBIO, EXIOBASE and EcoInvent, as well as a range of internal data. This study highlights the impact of operating activities, which are the Group’s main source of pressure on biodiversity. Taking all these factors together (own operations and the value chain), operating activities are responsible for 90% of the impact identified. These professions specifically generate pressure linked to land use and climate change. Within the scope of its own operations (Scope 1), land use is the pressure that accounts for most of the impact of Groupe ADP's activities. It represents 90% of the Group's

Scope 1 biodiversity impact. This impact is mainly linked to operating activities. This is followed by climate change and noise and light pollution (6% and 3% of its Scope 1 impact respectively). The study also reveals the key role played by Groupe ADP's value chain in its impacts: >85% of the global impact is linked to its value chain (Scope 3). Within this scope (Scope 3), the Group's main impacts relate to climate change and air pollution. Upstream impacts mainly relate to retail activities, i.e., products sold in restaurants and shops, as well as leasing and other services. Secondly, there are the activities in the value chain of the operating activities, which include upstream fuel, as well as the impact of half-cruise phases and equipment ancillary to their operation. In addition, Groupe ADP is aware of the extent of the biodiversity impacts of its value chain with regard to the movement and spread of invasive alien species. Even though the footprint measurement did not identify this issue as a priority, Groupe ADP has decided to take a proactive approach to the issue of invasive alien species in its environmental policy. [E4-ESRS 2 IRO-1-17-(b)] → Disclosure of the identification and assessment of dependencies on biodiversity and ecosystems and their services at own site locations and in the value chain Dependencies The study of Groupe ADP's dependencies was carried out in parallel with the impact study described in the previous section and on the same perimeter (own operations and value chain). This study is based on the LEAP methodology and the use of the ENCORE tool 5 . The study assessed the dependence of Groupe ADP's four business lines on 26 ecosystem services. The study reveals that all the business lines are mainly dependent on surface water and groundwater supplies. The Group's dependence on water availability and the risks of flooding, drought and other climatic phenomena linked to disruption of the water cycle (storms, floods) are described in the water Vigilance Plan (see: joint SR/VP water matter). Topics relating to water pollution and quality are described in ESRS-E2, see: E2.IRO-1 — Presentation of IROs related to air and water pollution. The Group's activities may also depend on the supply of wood and other natural fibres, as well as climate regulation services, protection against floods and storms and stabilisation of land masses and erosion.

1 The Utilities business line includes the production of energy and electricity. Attention should be paid to the distinction between Scope 3 of this business line (the indirect impacts of electricity and energy production) and Scope 2 used in the carbon assessment to quantify the impacts of the production of purchased electricity. 2 Groupe ADP's Biodiversity Commitments are published by the act4nature programme and are available on their website. Link: https:// www.act4nature.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/GROUPE-ADP-VF.pdf. 3 These are the five drivers identified by the IPBES: land-use change, climate change, pollution, natural resource use and exploitation, invasive species. 4 IPBES: Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. 5 The LEAP approach (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare) is one of the methodologies recommended by the TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) and based on the international frameworks of the Natural Capital Protocol and the Sciences Based Target Network (SBTN). The ENCORE database is recognised by these frameworks and by two United Nations programmes for the identification of nature-related risks.
