SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 4 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Airport Market has become a world-renowned airport resale site (with more than 240 affiliated airports on five continents) and a key tool in Groupe ADP's circular economy policy. It enables: u Groupe ADP to gain visibility; u manufacturers to win new customers (through the maintenance of second-life machines); u the life of this equipment to be increased and its carbon footprint to be reduced. In addition to continuing to develop the Airport Market platform for the resale of airport equipment and machinery, the Purchasing Logistics Services Department takes advantage of each workspace reorganisation or internal mobility operation involving the replacement of desks, new work uniforms or personal protective equipment, etc., to encourage the reuse (internal or external), external upcycling or, failing that, the recycling of the items concerned. For example, during the deployment of the dynamic spaces that will enable the ADP SA teams to be grouped together in 2023-24, while optimising the office space occupied by Groupe ADP's functional divisions, more than 30 tonnes of furniture were re-used, and €900,000 of expenditure on 4.2.4.3 Approach to progress in the circular economy Groupe ADP's core development is based on several pillars: u trust and quality assurance; u logistics and storage in good conditions to ensure the shortest possible circular economy loops; u a high level of connectivity and responsiveness between selling and buying, giving and receiving. In order to achieve this, Groupe ADP needs to have a perfect knowledge of its incoming and outgoing material flows, a limit that it intends to explore over the coming months. The management of international airports is highly complex, involving large quantities of very different materials. By its very nature, mapping the flows of resources used is very complex. However, aware of its environmental and economic responsibilities, Groupe ADP launched a consultation in 2024 which will enable it to obtain a flow balance for the three Paris airports and the consolidated international assets within the scope of its various activities by 2025. In addition, in order to optimise internal re-use, the use of a dedicated IT tool is currently being studied. The preliminary definition of a functional tree structure to prioritise the
external charges that would have been avoided without this re-use was saved. In 2024, the deployment of office furniture for the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games resulted in the re-use of more than 700 second-hand items, which were sorted, temporarily stored and made available to the various stakeholders (facilities, vehicle depots, ADP and Paris 2024 volunteer premises). These operations resulted in around €230,000 in avoided expenditure, and an estimated gain of around 70 tonnes of CO 2 e in avoided emissions. Finally, the workwear department has set aside more than 4.5 tonnes of used workwear of various kinds for recycling by a specialist in the production of recycled premium textile fibre. In the new contract for the supply of these work clothes, a take-back clause has been added to encourage compliance with the AGEC law. All the initiatives, tests and projects implemented by Groupe ADP in Paris and around the world contribute to improving its environmental impact linked to the generation of waste, but also to anticipating and improving its resilience to the increasing scarcity of natural resources. shortest loops (according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation diagram) and the most supportive loops (based on the activities of Groupe ADP Foundation (https://www.paris aeroport.fr/groupe/rse/fondation) is underway and will make it possible to define the specifications of a tool that the Group hopes to see implemented during 2025 and covering as many flows as possible. The Group will explore its storage capacities dedicated to re use based on profitable and reliable economic models, and will participate in local initiatives in order to continue to promote regional ecology, in keeping with its values and CSR policy. Finally, the Group will continue to move towards a more circular model by planning to transform its Airport Market site into a fully-fledged electronic and operational marketplace, enabling the resale of equipment by other airports within and outside the Group, while securing the various transactions involved in the end-to-end process. All these projects should enable Groupe ADP to pass a significant threshold in 2025 for its reuse activities, both in terms of quantity of material and economic value.
