SOCIAL AND SOCIETAL MATTERS

S4-1 – Groupe ADP policy on public and airport safety and security ADP SA's commitment to safety and security means applying and monitoring the highest standards in force in the air transport industry. The safety and security policy is also in line with the 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap, which aims to achieve operational excellence, hospitality and a smooth journey for its passenger customers. The consumers and end-users taken into account for this chapter are: u passenger customers and their accompanying persons; u staff working on the hubs; u local populations. Definitions relating to safety and security Aviation safety encompasses all technical, organisational and operational measures aimed at reducing the risk of accidents or incidents involving aircraft. Aviation security is defined as the combination of measures and human and material resources to protect civil aviation from malicious acts of unlawful interference that endanger civil aviation. Civil aviation security contributes to public safety, which is the responsibility of the French State to ensure the protection of people and property. Private security can also contribute to this objective within the limits of its statutory remit. Public safety is defined as the combination of measures and human and material resources aimed at protecting public spaces against acts of aggression, malice, delinquency, incivility, terrorism or disturbance of the peace. [S4-1-15] → Policies to manage material impacts, risks and opportunities related to consumers and/or end - users [see ESRS 2 MDR-P] Civil aviation safety and security is a priority for the air transport sector, as is public safety. Aviation safety and security standards are established at a global level under the aegis of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Public safety is a matter for national regulations. For airports located in countries outside the European Union, Groupe ADP is subject to the rules in force locally, through which compliance with the applicable specifications is verified. For airports located in the European Union and in France, the applicable legal framework is set by European Community law under the aegis of the European Commission, with supplements set by the national law of the Member States In France, safety and security requirements are implemented by ADP SA, as an airport operator, under the supervision of the French State. The latter retains the police powers inherent in airport operations and ensures that public order is maintained. The public authorities therefore directly assume certain prerogatives necessary for the operation of airfields: u combating acts of aggression, malice, delinquency, incivility, terrorism, disturbance of the peace, and maintaining peace and security in the city (through the police); u background checks on persons authorised to enter the airside zone (via the intelligence services);

u supervision and control of the correct application of safety and security measures by ADP and security agents (via the French Civil Aviation Authority); u managing crisis situations (accidents, health crises, etc.). ADP SA contributes to the French State's management of crisis situations, and draws up and implements business continuity plans. On delegation from the Chairman and CEO, ADP SA Airport directors have authority over all other ADP managers in matters of safety and security, and are the highest level in the company's organisation in these areas. It should be noted, however, that in terms of security, the implementation of legal and regulatory obligations is always carried out under the control and direction of officers of the judicial police, as this is a sovereign task incumbent on the French State by its very nature. Concerning public safety at Paris region hubs French State services are responsible for security in public areas. ADP SA contributes to this within the limits of its remit by having a policy of: u applying the Vigipirate plan; u providing physical protection and video-surveillance for people and property; u relaying the French State's communication to specific groups, consumers and end-users on the proper conduct and relevant methods; u carrying out patrols in and around terminals and in sensitive areas and buildings; u reporting incidents to the government departments. Combating poverty and exclusion is a public policy that falls under the remit of the French State, local authorities, public bodies including communal and inter-communal social welfare centres, social security bodies and social and medico-social institutions (see French Social Welfare and Family Code [ Code de l'action sociale et des familles ]). ADP SA, in the same way as any citizen or association, may on its own initiative contribute to achieving the objectives of combating the exclusion of homeless people, taking care however that this intervention is compatible with its social interest and does not replace the tasks of regulated bodies (medical-social action, accommodation centres, etc.). Measures to control the presence of homeless people involve taking into account the fundamental freedom to come and go, which is a basic human right and an essential component of personal freedom. Lastly, ADP SA implements the measures for which it is responsible and strictly applies the rules and standards in force in order to prevent accidents involving buildings, infrastructures or infectious contamination.
