SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 4 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Risks relating to waste management Groupe ADP is aware of the extent of the equipment, products and materials it owns and the impact and risks it poses to the outside world if waste is not properly managed. The main risk identified in a "business as usual" scenario is the very significant financial loss of value linked to the linearity of Groupe ADP's current purchasing processes. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF RISK When a building is demolished or a piece of equipment dismantled, the end-of-life of the materials is, in most cases, a cost for the Group. When the contract is awarded, the line item "Removal and recovery" very often corresponds to unauthorised removal that does not allow any financial value to be recovered. The financial risk is therefore that the residual value of the resources will be captured by the contract holders, even though the Group owns them. This risk is associated with a negative environmental impact: the "scrapping" of a large amount of equipment that could be reconditioned, resold and reused. In the case of equipment such as a baggage sorting system (several dozen tonnes of metal), screening machines (metals, critical raw materials, hazardous materials) or heavy machinery, hundreds of tonnes of material and carbon could be avoided. copper, manganese, lithium and rare earths for the permanent magnets used in batteries. As a result, the Group is highly dependent on natural resources for its ecological transition: electrification, sustainable aviation fuels, hydrogen and low-carbon energies. This transition risk is taken particularly seriously by Groupe ADP so that it can guarantee the conditions for the successful completion of its ecological transition by respecting the indicated time horizons; u some of the Group's activities, including its aeronautics activities, are dependent on the most critical resources in the panel studied in terms of their availability, substitutability or the environmental and/or social impact of their extraction. This is the case for ores, metals and aviation fuels (especially paraffin); u commercial activity, which is highly dependent on certain specific resources (rare earths for electronic equipment, for example) but is not exposed to a high net risk since the goods and services sold are substitutable; u real estate and airport development activities are highly dependent on a wide variety of resources that are difficult to replace: sands and aggregates, metals, and materials from living organisms (plant fibres and wood).

Access to certain raw materials – in sufficient quantities and at an "affordable" cost – can have an impact on Groupe ADP's activities. An increase in the market value of a resource can have a significant impact on the cost of sourcing that material or the cost of any good made from that resource. The unavailability of a material due to its excessive cost, depletion or geostrategic tensions may have an impact on Groupe ADP's activities, such as airport operations, maintenance, the use of digital technologies, construction and our carbon trajectory or environmental objectives. For example: the limited availability of electrical equipment necessary for the deployment of the aeroplane substation electrification programme; the rise in the price of sand and wood for construction; the unavailability of metals and rare earths for digital devices due to geopolitical conflicts; or the rise in the cost of a litre of water. The INEC report Stratégie Nationale Bas Carbone sous contrainte de ressources points out that the three main sectors of electrification, biomass recovery and construction consume large amounts of resources, and that only reduced consumption (through optimisation, eco-design and rationalisation) and the transition to a circular economy can reduce pressure on natural resources. The risk of a rise in commodity prices is very high. The risk of total disruption of supply of a (possibly non-substitutable) material is low to moderate (depending on the material in question and its substitutability potential). 4.2.4.2 Prevention, remediation and opportunities Upstream risk management systems The Paris hubs have a coordinated and hierarchical action plan defined by the operational units of Aéroports de Paris SA with the aim of achieving the objectives of the new environmental policy (see chapter "Sustainability Report – Introduction to Groupe ADP's Environmental Policy"). This action plan is managed by a dedicated internal working group. Aware of its impact and dependence on non-living natural resources, in 2023 Groupe ADP carried out a detailed study of its dependence and impact on light metals, superalloy metals, iron and ferrous alloys, rare earths, platinoids, sands, silicas and aggregates, water, wood, natural insulants and paraffin for its Paris airports (see 2023 Vigilance Plan). The main lessons learned from this study are: u all activities, including airport activities, are highly dependent on water resources; u activities linked to the ecological transition and the digital revolution are highly dependent on critical resources and are contributing to the increase in global demand for STUDY OF THE DEPENDENCE OF PARIS AIRPORTS ON NATURAL RESOURCES AND THEIR IMPACT ON THESE RESOURCES
