SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 4 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

[E4-2-23-(f)] → Description of whether and how biodiversity and ecosystems-related policies address social consequences of biodiversity and ecosystems - related impacts

[E4-2-23-(c)] → Description of whether and how biodiversity and ecosystems-related policies relate to material dependencies and material physical and transition risks and opportunities According to the results of the Dependencies and Impacts study, the Group's primary dependency is linked to the availability of fresh water. Airport hubs depend directly on water to guarantee their passenger capacity and air safety. See DP: [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. The Group's dependence on water is addressed by commitments to prevent, control and monitor pollution, including water pollution. These commitments are presented in the ESRS-E2. See DP: E2.IRO-1 — Presentation of IROs related to air and water pollution. It should also be noted that since 2023 the Group has had a water savings plan, which is mentioned in the monitoring plan section of the chapter on water in ESRS E2. The study also identified dependencies on wood and natural fibres. The Group is addressing this issue through its commitment to responsible purchasing by working specifically on the issue of imported deforestation. [E4-2-23-(d)] → Description of whether and how biodiversity and ecosystems-related policies support traceability of products, components and raw materials with material actual or potential impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems along the value chain Groupe ADP does not carry out any manufacturing or industrial production activities. However, it sells products through its retail subsidiaries. Its relationship with components and raw materials is also indirect, through its purchases. The biodiversity procurement policy is specified in DP E4-2-23-(e) below. [E4-2-23-(e)] → Description of whether and how biodiversity and ecosystems-related policies address production, sourcing or consumption from ecosystems that are managed to maintain or enhance conditions for biodiversity Groupe ADP does not produce products. It sells products through its retail subsidiaries. Groupe ADP is committed to identifying the players in its upstream value chain who are the most material in terms of biodiversity and to working with them, as partners, to continuously improve their practices in favour of biodiversity. This approach will specifically target purchases from sectors identified by the National Biodiversity Strategy as being at risk, as well as purchases of raw materials identified as being at risk by the Dependencies and Impacts study. In addition to its partnership approach, Groupe ADP is also committed to incorporating biodiversity Duty of Vigilance clauses into contracts in key purchasing sectors by 2027.

The Dependencies and Impacts study carried out in 2022 did not identify the social consequences of Groupe ADP's impacts on biodiversity. The update of the study will therefore aim to determine whether the impacts linked to biodiversity and ecosystems have social consequences. [E4-2-AR 12] → Disclosure on how the policy refers to the production, sourcing or consumption of raw materials Groupe ADP is aware of the biodiversity matters that exist in its upstream value chain, and addresses the issues related to the sourcing and consumption of raw materials through its Group Purchasing Policy. The Purchasing Policy devotes a specific chapter to the environment. Suppliers are assessed against a grid of CSR criteria when contracts are awarded and are encouraged to sign up to the Group's responsible purchasing charter, which includes a commitment to biodiversity. By renewing its membership of the act4nature programme, the Group has undertaken to step up its support for suppliers, particularly in the priority sectors defined by the National Biodiversity Strategy 1 . For more information on taking environmental matters into account in purchasing policy, see: [E1-1-16-(b)] → Disclosure of decarbonisation levers and key actions. [E4-2-AR 12-(a)] → Disclosure of how the policy refers to policies which limit procurement from suppliers that cannot demonstrate that they are not contributing to significant damage to protected areas or key biodiversity areas Groupe ADP's current approach is based on a partnership approach and support for its suppliers with a view to encouraging their mobilisation to enable Groupe ADP to rely on a sustainable supply of resources, based among other things on the preservation of protected areas and key biodiversity zones. For the moment, this approach is not binding and is not included in the purchasing criteria. [E4-2-AR 12-(b)] → Disclosure of how the policy refers to recognised standards or third-party certifications overseen by regulators The Group's biodiversity commitments have been recognised by the OFB's Entreprises Engagées pour la Nature programme. In addition, the Group joined the act4nature international initiative in 2018. As a result, each renewal of the Group's biodiversity commitments since 2018 has been subject to the initiative's review and validation process to ensure compliance with the Group's standards in this area.
