4 SOCIAL, SOCIETAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION Group environmental information

Supporting the transition to renewable energies At Group level, “green” electricity from renewable sources represents 62% of electricity consumed: ORIGIN OF ELECTRICITY CONSUMED (MWH) – NEW 2017 DATA TO BE INCORPORATED

Municipal heating z The Group’s new offices in Paris and Chambéry are powered by a municipal heating network which includes a large percentage of renewable energy. Because there is no individual meter, the consumption is neither known nor estimated. z The air conditioning at Musée Grévin Paris is powered by a municipal cooling facility and the museum is heated by a municipal heating system. This type of consumption, not recorded in the environmental reporting tool, accounts for GHG emissions of 93 teq CO 2 , which is less than 0.3% of the Group’s total emissions. It will be included in next year’s figures. Fossil fuels: fuel and gas consumption The Group’s facilities need 5,650 m 3 of fuel to run, 92% of which is diesel. Diesel is mainly used for grooming machines, which account for 61% (in m 3 ) of total Group consumption of fossil fuels. This is followed by “other” consumption, which mainly concerns vehicles and heating buildings.

In 2013/2014, a “green” electricity supply contract for the Ski areas was signed with EDF. This contract allows us to offset the energy we use to produce electricity from renewable energy sources. In 2016/2017, 100% of the electricity consumed by the Group’s Ski areas came from renewable sources, with the exception of STGM which has a different supply source. As for the tertiary sites, 100% of the electricity consumed at Musée Grévin Prague comes from renewable sources thanks to contracts with local suppliers. The Futuroscope Hotel has an energy contract which favours “green” energy. Because 62% of the electricity used by Compagnie des Alpes comes from renewable sources, it can keep a firm check on its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which have been reduced by around 8,874 teq of CO 2 , equating to a 20% reduction of the Group’s total GHG emissions before renewable energies. Some of our sites also produce renewable energy or aim to use more energy efficient processes: z having installed solar panels in 2011 (118 MWh generated in 2016-2017), Futuroscope stepped up its environmental actions in 2015 with the commissioning of a cogeneration plant in the park enclosure. This plant produces both electricity and heat from natural gas (7 GWh over the fiscal year). Most of the thermal energy produced is fed into the park’s heating systems but some is resold to a secondary school and other companies in the science park. meaning that the Futuroscope Hotel can therefore be heated entirely from the cogeneration plant; z in March 2016, Futuroscope installed a Smartflower (flower-shaped solar panels which are activated and orientated according to the position of the sun); z Walibi Belgium has solar panels on the roofs of three buildings (installed capacity of 0.25 MW for use on site), and Les Deux-Alpes uses solar thermal power to heat the water at one of its villages; z in 2015, Bellewaerde replaced a fuel oil tank with a heat pump which heats the pool for the divers show fromMarch to October and produces significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions; z finally, all the Gazex systems at Samoëns and Serre Chevalier, for example, are self-powered by solar panels.

The fuel consumed by the grooming machines depends very much on the weather. However, the Group has been working to optimise the grooming process for several years now, mainly by training the drivers and using GPS and radars, which allow for more precision adjustment of the grooming machine. In terms of road transport, eight Ski areas out of nine and two Leisure destinations out of seven have provided shuttles for their employees in order to limit the use of personal vehicles and help them get to work. Some sites can provide accommodation for some of their seasonal workers while others encourage them to use the ski lifts at the foot of the valley ( e.g. : the funicular at Les Arcs, the Venosc gondola lift) to travel to their workplace. The other sites benefit from an in-town location or are close to public transport. Although still limited, the number of electric or hybrid vehicles in our fleet grew by 4% to a total of 77, mainly in the Leisure destinations. This use is favoured by the layout of enclosed areas, notably for non- specific vehicles such as trucks or maintenance vehicles. Fuel oil consumption is mainly used to heat buildings (94%). Fuel oil accounts for only 5% of total consumption of fossil fuels.
