4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
E4-4-E4-3 — Setting biodiversity targets: ecological thresholds and associated methodology and Biodiversity Action Plan [E4-4-29] → [E4] Tracking effectiveness of policies and actions through targets [see ESRS 2 MDR-T] The 2025 Pioneers strategic plan contains 10 KPI’s dedicated to biodiversity. It sets two biodiversity objectives: u preserve 25% of surface area for biodiversity at Paris Charles de Gaulle and 30% at Paris-Orly and Paris Le Bourget; u provide the Group's airports that are signatories to the Airports for Trust Charter with a trajectory to improve their biodiversity index by 2030 (compared to 2020). In addition to metrics, the Group's environmental reporting also monitors the following metrics: u existence of an assessment of the ecological value of the site (biodiversity index): the definition of the Group's biodiversity index is still under construction; u local biodiversity strategy implemented (document/ procedure aimed at managing the integration of biodiversity matters into developments): the local biodiversity strategy implemented is the number of biodiversity strategy projects/documents/procedures taken/that will be implemented at the local level through the development of activities; u generalised zero-phyto management on the hub. The above targets are complemented by the Biodiversity Commitments submitted to the act4nature programme 1 . These targets were defined using the SMART methodology and validated by the act4nature jury. In addition, the Group carries out annual internal monitoring of its targets with the associated drivers. It should be noted that these targets were set in 2020, for the 2020-2025 period, on the basis of a priori materiality. As the Dependencies and Impacts biodiversity footprint was carried out retrospectively (2022), the materiality of the targets will be improved by renewing the biodiversity commitments in 2025. [E4-4-32-(a)] → The ecological thresholds and allocations of impacts applied when setting targets (biodiversity and ecosystems) In 2024, Groupe ADP carried out an alignment study with institutional frameworks and took the decision to review its new 2025-2030 biodiversity commitments in order to address the relevant topics present in international, European and French agreements. To do this, the Group based itself specifically on the 23 targets of the Kunming Montreal Framework, the European Union's Biodiversity Strategy and the French government's National Biodiversity Strategy. While for target 3 of the Kunming-Montreal framework the Group was able to make a commitment in line with the global target 2 , it was not possible for the Group to identify its levers for alignment with the other targets in light of the footprint assessment studies available to date. The Group has therefore decided to launch a study covering 2025 year in order to assess its biodiversity footprint in greater detail and evaluate its ability to align with a larger number of targets.
Groupe ADP is also voluntarily involved in restoration projects. Firstly, at the hubs. Queen Alia airport in Jordan, for example, has contributed to the restoration of the Dbeen Reserve. At Orly airport, a restoration project is underway to restore 10 hectares of land bordering the Route Nationale 7. Finally, Groupe ADP also finances local restoration projects. Between 2021 and 2024, 10,000 sq.m. will be renatured thanks to the Group's support for CDC Biodiversité’s Nature 2050 programme. [E4-3-28-(c)] → Description of whether and how Groupe ADP has incorporated local and indigenous knowledge and nature-based solutions into biodiversity and ecosystems-related actions The Group is constantly improving its relations with the regions in order to participate in the development of innovative, nature-friendly solutions in partnership with local organisations. In the Paris region, for example, the hubs have joined forces with the Pariciflore nursery, which complies with the Végétal Local label, to promote the use of local and wild plants on its sites and beyond. The Group is also rolling out an environmental innovation award, "SMART Territories", which enables start-ups from our regions to gain recognition and produce a proof of concept on the Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub. Groupe ADP plans to extend this practice to other airports.
