5.4.5 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF INVESTMENTS MADE AND IN PROGRESS The Group’s investment policy incorporates the carbon neutrality commitments made as part of the 2025 Pioneers roadmap and the 2022-2025 environmental policy, which is based on four pillars: photovoltaic panels and a new cooling plant at the Paris Orly hub and a new geothermal power plant at the Paris Charles de Gaulle hub planned for the first double runway by 2026;
u strive for zero environmental and energy impact in operations within our scope of responsibility; Groupe ADP’s commitment to align its activities with the challenges of environmental and energy transition is reflected in its objectives for controlling its GHG emissions: u from 2030, all airports in the network that have signed the Airports for Trust charter will be neutral in terms of internal GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2). In addition, Groupe ADP has set the objective that all the operationally controlled airports in the portfolio as well as those of Liège, Zagreb and Santiago will be "Net Zero Emissions" by 2050, this deadline being anticipated at 2030 for Paris-Orly, Paris-Le Bourget, New Delhi and Hyderabad, and 2035 for Paris-Charles de Gaulle, u the Group also sets targets for its external emissions (Scope 3): it aims in particular to make its Paris airports carbon-neutral territories (including airport access and cruising for departing aircraft) by 2050; u actively participate in the environmental transition of the aviation sector, particularly through the conditions for the reception of transition technologies such as SAFs as well as technological breakthroughs with hydrogen and provide airside greening solutions; u promote the integration of each airport in a local resources system; u reduce the environmental footprint of airport activity planning and development projects. In addition to the 2025 Pioneers roadmap, the Group is also committed to taking into account and reducing climate risks through several accreditations such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification promoting high environmental quality standards for buildings), ISO 14001/14064/50001 relating to the management of environmental impacts, greenhouse gas emissions and energy, and the Airport Carbon Accreditation. The latter, obtained by 17 of the 27 airports it operates, aims at strong and continuous improvement in the following areas, among others: u carbon neutralisation; u green certification for solar energy deployment projects; u deployment of a continuous analysis programme for water In this respect, and by way of example, the following investments are currently included in the Group’s investment plan: u reducing greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric pollutants on the platforms: strengthening the rail/air connection and soft traffic (which also helps reduce congestion), reinforcing the electrical network and deploying compatible hot/cold outlets to provide alternative means of powering aircraft auxiliary motors and charging stations for airside and landside electric vehicles; u the continuous improvement of energy performance through the development of locally produced renewable energies to reduce the carbon content of the energy distributed at the platforms: installation of a heat pump, and pollution (especially water and soil); u other green energy deployment projects.
u continuing to control operating costs for the hub’s buildings (terminals and buildings) by renovating the envelope of existing structures, continuing to deploy metering systems, minimising energy consumption (lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, mechanical equipment), optimising energy production and reducing energy losses; u continuing to control operating expenses related to water consumption and treatment: deploying new metering systems, rehabilitating networks and reducing losses (drinking water, wastewater, stormwater); u improving the biodiversity index of the platforms, for a richer biodiversity and a better quality of life on the platforms, by taking into account ERC measures (avoid, reduce, compensate); u a global transition to LED lighting and beaconing technologies, on the same model as that being rolled out for several years at the Group’s Paris hubs; u the almost systematic replacement, as soon as operating and supply conditions allow, of old service vehicles by electric vehicles; u optimising the insulation of building façade; u the gradual electrification of the cityside and airside areas at Paris-Orly in line with the hub’s accelerated ambition in terms of decarbonisation both for the benefit of airlines (for example through chargers for ground equipment, pre air conditioning (PCA) or the strengthening of emergency power supplies) as well as airport staff and passengers (in particular through the massive deployment of electric charging stations); u the development of bicycle paths as well as the optimisation of rainwater and wastewater networks. In addition, in 2021, Aéroports de Paris was the winner of the European Commission’s H2020 Green Deal Green Airports call for projects. This OLGA (hOListic Green Airports) project brings together a consortium of 41 partners (airports, airlines, carriers, energy providers, etc.) coordinated by Aéroports de Paris. The project aims to highlight environmental innovation in airports during the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris (2024) and Milan (2026) in order to accelerate the deployment of associated technologies. It will help reduce airside and landside emissions for the airport and its stakeholders (airlines, ground handlers), supporting the European Union’s carbon neutrality ambition, while improving the quality of life of local residents. The OLGA project, deployed at Paris-Charles de Gaulle in the case of Aéroports de Paris, will also make it possible – among other things – to accelerate the environmental transition at airports in terms of on-demand mobility, air quality control, measuring the quality of biodiversity, reducing waste and preparing airport hubs for the arrival of the hydrogen vector for aeronautical uses. The OLGA project is a programme subsidised by the European Commission up to 70% for Groupe ADP. The remaining 30% is the responsibility of Aéroports de Paris, which has undertaken to finance the portion of the projects registered with OLGA not subsidised by the European Commission.
