SOCIAL AND SOCIETAL MATTERS
SBM – 3 14 f i - Information on the type of operations presenting a significant risk of incidents of forced or compulsory labour For Groupe ADP workforce, these risks are assessed as "under control" in the Human Rights risk mapping, as purely airport operations are fairly well protected (activity authorisations and compulsory access passes, presence of the relevant government departments). The Group's supply and subcontracting chain is more exposed, particularly for activities carried out outside airport premises, and when a multiplicity and diversity of players, sites and countries are involved. Taking into account the sectors most at risk of forced labour identified in greater detail thanks to the lessons learned from our partnership with RHSF (see point 2 of this chapter) 1 , Groupe ADP must be particularly vigilant in the following sectors and types of operations in its value chains: u services requiring short-term training, such as luggage porters, transport or cleaning services, small-scale handling; u construction projects, due to the large number of individuals involved on a work site; u the airport equipment supply chain (materials, textiles and coverings, walkways, raw materials: extraction/production, assembly and transport); u the IT equipment supply chain (extraction of rare metals, assembly of components, transport); u the agri-food supply chain (farming, processing, transport). SBM – 3 14 f ii Information on countries or geographical areas where operations are considered to present a significant risk of incidents of forced or compulsory labour To date, there have been no incidents of forced or compulsory labour within Groupe ADP's activities or within its value chain. Nevertheless, as part of its duty of vigilance, Groupe ADP is committed to making progress in the identification and mapping of Human Rights risks, particularly with regard to forced labour, in the areas and countries in which it operates and in its supply chains/subcontracting. According to data from the Global Slavery Index, the Group's countries of operation most at risk of forced labour are, in order of priority, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Northern Macedonia, Kazakhstan and Jordan, due to the high concentration of migrant workers on their territory. Migrant workers are more vulnerable to debt bondage and/or exploitation 2 . Displacement caused by conflict, the presence of armed groups, climate change and political instability also contribute to the prevalence of forced labour in these countries.
INTEGRATING HUMAN RIGHTS INTO THE ASSESSMENT OF THIRD PARTIES AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS The consideration of Human Rights is gradually being integrated into existing processes, particularly in the assessment of risks within purchasing processes and packaging projects. Depending on the type of relationship, the nature of the project and the country of operation, the ethical assessment of risks linked to third parties includes gradual due diligence, in particular with regard to Human Rights and personal safety. See details in section G1 – PD [G1-1-10-(a)] → Description of the mechanisms for identifying, reporting and investigating concerns about illegal behaviour or behaviour in contradiction of its code of conduct or similar internal rules. The International Development, Legal and Insurance, Ethics and Personal Data Protection and Airport Operations Departments work together on projects involving the acquisition/granting of concessions or the extension of airport facilities. They help to ensure that Human Rights risks are taken into account in investment projects, both upstream of a potential acquisition and downstream with the help of asset managers (CSR objectives post acquisition of the asset). HUMAN RIGHTS AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS Human Rights are included in the programme to disseminate ethical culture detailed in section 4.2.3. Commitments and deployment of the Group's ethical culture in this report (see in particular section 4.4.2.3. [G1-1-9] → Description of how the company establishes, develops, promotes and evaluates its corporate culture and section 4.4.2.5 on awareness and training on ethics and compliance topics) CONTRIBUTE TO THE COLLECTIVE EFFORT TO COMBAT CHILD LABOUR, FORCED LABOUR AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING Description of the risk Child labour and forced labour are complex and multifactorial phenomena. The large number of players involved and the opacity of certain supply chains require in depth action and coordination between them. For Groupe ADP, these risks therefore mainly relate to its value chains, the risks of which are assessed as part of the evaluation of third parties. This means stepping up due diligence to ensure compliance with the Group's Supplier Code of Conduct and CSR Charter, and with international regulations and standards. In addition to its responsible purchasing initiatives, the Group must also work with its partners to improve visibility and traceability, and ensure that its commitments are respected throughout the value chain.
