SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 4 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

[E4-2-AR 17-(b)] → Third-party standards of conduct are developed or maintained through a process of ongoing consultation with stakeholders with balanced input from all relevant stakeholder groups and with no group holding undue authority or veto power over the content The standards and frameworks underpinning our environmental policy and biodiversity commitments are externally recognised, in line with international standards. The framework proposed by the act4nature programme is in line with that proposed by Business For Nature, which is the body representing businesses within the Convention for Biological Diversity (CBD), and is therefore in line with the international approach. The act4nature jury is made up of scientific and institutional stakeholders with expertise in biodiversity, such as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI) and the Mouvement des Entrepreneurs de France (MEDEF), as well as all 70 member companies of the programme representing a wide range of industrial sectors (cosmetics, textiles, energy, transport, construction, food, banking, real estate). To remain in the programme, the Group is invited to undergo regular reviews to ensure that its work is monitored and that it remains relevant to the programme. In addition, Groupe ADP is a member of several networks and sponsors of several associations, enabling it to keep abreast of innovations and regulatory advances, and to work on continuous improvement in the integration of biodiversity issues. The Group is an active member of the EpE (Entreprises pour l'Environnement) network and the Orée network, and a patron of the Aérobiodiversité Association and the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle . Orly Airport also works with the LPO. At the same time, Groupe ADP puts the exchange and acceptability of its activities with the local community at the heart of its biodiversity governance model. The Parisian hubs provide a space for exchanges, open to the public, dedicated to fostering links with local residents and areas through its Maisons de l’Environnement. Every year, the airports organise events, exhibitions, conferences and round tables to publicise their activities and public consultations, in addition to master plans and long-term structural development projects. [E4-2-AR 17-(c)] → The third-party standard of conduct used encourages a step-wise approach and continuous improvement, both in the standard and its application of better management practices In order to re-join the act4nature programme, Groupe ADP must assess its previous commitments and prove the additionality of its new commitments compared to its previous commitments. At the same time, act4nature ensures that the proposals put forward are indeed voluntary measures that improve the ambition or anticipate a law.

[E4-2-AR 17-(d)] → The third-party standard of conduct used is verifiable through independent certifying or verifying bodies, which have defined and rigorous assessment procedures that avoid conflicts of interest Groupe ADP's policy was reviewed by external partners (at least one company network, one NGO and one scientific player) and then validated by the act4nature Steering Committee (partners and companies involved). In addition, the act4nature programme complies with global standards, enabling Groupe ADP to have the quality of the biodiversity chapter of its environmental policy recognised by other bodies. In this respect, membership of act4nature has facilitated the Group's integration into the OFB’s Entreprises Engagées pour la Nature initiative, as well as its recognition by the international Business for Nature network through Groupe ADP's contribution to the “It's now for nature” campaign. [E4-2-AR 17-(e)] → The third-party standard of conduct used conforms to the ISEAL Code of Good Practice Non-mandatory, not processed in 2024. [E4-2-24-(a)] → A biodiversity and ecosystem protection policy covering operational sites owned, leased, or managed in or near a biodiversity sensitive area has been adopted The policy presented in DP E4-2-22 1 specifically addresses the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystems known as Scope 1, i.e., those present on our owned and managed operational sites 2 . For the Group, this is reflected in the work carried out: u by the animal risk prevention services to ensure safe cohabitation with the wildlife present around our hubs, particularly in the vicinity of runways; u by the green spaces management services, in particular through the implementation of differentiated and reasoned management practices for aeronautical grassland areas with a view to preserving wild local flora, limiting the spread of invasive exotic species and ensuring the integrity of ecosystems is maintained in order to preserve the services provided by nature; u by the engineering, infrastructure, architecture and construction departments, with a view to accommodating biodiversity in the hub's urbanised areas: through planting, permeabilisation, and the choice of architectural design models and materials conducive to accommodating species.
