4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

To reduce its impact and dependence on resources, Groupe ADP uses the levers of the circular economy identified by ADEME:

SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE PURCHASING PLACE OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY Groupe ADP strives to reduce its consumption of natural resources by acquiring equipment that makes efficient use of resources, has a longer lifespan, is repairable and reusable, and by securing the supply chain for renewable materials; this also makes it possible to limit the variability in the cost of fossil fuels. Reducing its impact also involves the eco design of construction projects, extending the lifespan of products and equipment, defining (currently underway) a hierarchy for internal and external re-use, and setting up re use processes, see section 4.1.1. Identifying purchasing risk. In Paris, Groupe ADP is increasing the number of contracts with local companies and the circular economy as part of the operating contracts of its hubs: equipment, food, cleaning, etc. Many areas are concerned. To date, Groupe ADP has environmental criteria and purchasing guidelines that enable buyers to ask themselves the right questions.

Among the pillars of the circular economy presented in the infographic above, Groupe ADP acts mainly on six pillars: u UPSTREAM value chain: u sustainable and responsible purchasing, u eco-design of buildings and equipment, u industrial and regional ecology; u the USE phase: u collaborative consumption, u extended useful life, thanks in particular to maintenance and re-use; u DOWNSTREAM value chain: u waste management and maximising recovery (material and organic recycling). Groupe ADP is firm in its belief that the transition to one or more circular economic models is essential, as is the development of industrial and regional ecology projects. Circular business models ensure a balance between economic challenges and respect for planetary and social limits. They reduce the impact on natural resources and improve our economic and industrial independence and sovereignty.
