4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
To limit this risk, Groupe ADP has joined a working group led by the Ministry of the Economy and the Directorate-General of Customs and Indirect Taxes, and is working with the IUCN 1 and WWF France 2 to set up actions to raise awareness, prevent and reduce wildlife trafficking. Groupe ADP also co chairs a Paris working group with Air France, bringing together cargo and passenger transport operators, the above-mentioned NGOs and the French customs authorities. This voluntary working group, which is independent of the above-mentioned government departments, opens up the matter to a wide range of stakeholders, thereby raising awareness among a broad public and promoting a wide range of actions. u Certain systemic risks have already been taken into account in the impacts and dependencies study. For example, with regard to dependence, we can cite geopolitical risks, the risks of market effects, the risks of competition between uses, etc. With regard to impacts, the five IPBES pressures 3 , risks to human health, etc. However, as this study is based on certain databases and methodologies that will have changed significantly between 2022 and 2025, it will be updated in 2025 to feed into the Group's business model transition plan and business resilience plan. [E4-ESRS 2 IRO-1-17-(e)] → Description of how consultations with affected communities on sustainability assessments of shared biological resources and ecosystems were conducted u Consultations and exchanges with stakeholders on the Group's biodiversity strategy: u The Group's biodiversity commitments are presented to two consultative bodies. Firstly, Groupe ADP discusses its biodiversity matters with its Stakeholder Committee, on which the Foundation for Research on Biodiversity is represented. Their views, and those of the other members, help to bring an outside perspective to the Group's practices and to reinforce the consideration given to these matters. In 2023, the Stakeholder Committee took up the issue and drew up a white paper on biodiversity issues at airports. The Sustainable Development Department also organises events for the Paris hubs to meet the economic players in the airport community. In 2024, the Group's Planning, Sustainable Development and Public Affairs Department organised the 14 th Environment Partners Club, dedicated to biodiversity matters. This event brought together stakeholders who are suppliers, customers and tenants of Groupe ADP real estate. This event provides an opportunity to present our environmental policy, to raise awareness of the topics we share in terms of biodiversity through presentations by experts (Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle or Ligue de Protection des Oiseaux) and to discuss our progress and best practices in order to improve coordination. u Consultations and exchanges with stakeholders on local biodiversity matters. The Paris hubs also organise consultations and discussions with local stakeholders.
As such, the airports organise meetings and develop partnerships with local authorities and local stakeholders to share their knowledge and best practice in terms of biodiversity, in order to strengthen regional coherence in terms of biodiversity. To this end, the Regulatory Regional Actions and Town Planning Department makes the biodiversity inventory data from the hubs available to local authorities, in particular to help them prepare their Regional Biodiversity Atlas. In 2024, for example, this joint work led to the updating of the Orly Regional Biodiversity Atlas, taking into account the biodiversity constraints of the eponymous airport, and participation in the launch of Communauté de Communes des Plaines et Monts de France’ s Atlas. There is also a partnership underway between the Paris Charles de Gaulle hub and the Seine-et-Marne departmental council, as well as one with the Établissement Public Territorial “Paris Terres d’Envol”, aimed at sharing best practices in the management of natural spaces and environments to better protect biodiversity. Regional coordination was also stepped up in 2024 at Paris Charles de Gaulle with the organisation, on the initiative of Groupe ADP, of the first Rencontres des Territoires pour la Biodiversité, which brought together 20 elected representatives and partners. In 2024, Groupe ADP also held a voluntary public consultation at Paris-Orly airport to present, discuss and gather the opinions of all stakeholders on its 2035 master plan. This consultation included a strong environmental component, with specific reference to biodiversity. Finally, throughout the year, the Maisons de l'Environnement (environmental centres) organise meetings and awareness raising events aimed at local residents and schoolchildren, for whom biodiversity is a significant element. To mark the occasion, the Maison de l'Environnement at Paris-Charles de Gaulle has designed a new booklet for schoolchildren to raise their awareness of nature matters. For more information on local consultations and the Stakeholder Committee, see DP: S3-1 — Policy of engagement and dialogue with local stakeholders. [E4-ESRS 2 IRO-1-17-(e)-i] → Description of whether and how specific sites, raw materials production or sourcing with negative or potentially negative impacts on affected communities were considered The various studies mentioned above and the meetings, exchanges and consultations held to date have not enabled Groupe ADP to identify any negative impact on the communities concerned that would be linked to biodiversity matters. [E4-ESRS 2 IRO-1-17-(e)-ii] → Description of whether and how affected communities were involved in the materiality assessment The studies carried out to date had not been designed to include the affected communities as defined above. The updating and extension of these studies will, however, include these communities and, in particular, local stakeholders, biodiversity associations and the airport community. The elements exchanged and the results of these exchanges will be included in the conclusions and plans obtained and disclosed.
