Aéroport de Paris - 2018 Registration document

SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY INFORMATION 17 ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

Objectives Groupe ADP has set itself four objectives by 2020:

for employees, visitors and passengers (car sharing/car pooling), clean mobility, information and awareness raising. During the 2018 pollution peak, Aéroports de Paris SA deployed the temporary measures recommended by Airparif in such a situation, by limiting use of APUs, engine tests, test flights and the most polluting works projects. Waste management and the circular economy Policy As part of its 2016-2020 environmental and energy policy, Aéroports de Paris SA continues to reduce the amount of waste produced at its airports and improve its recovery in order to limit consumption of natural resources. Waste management and the circular economy rank amongst the more important issues in the materiality study (7.8/10). Objectives Measures have been taken to: ◆ reduce waste production and encourage partners to adopt these practices; ◆ achieve a 45%material recycling rate for internal non-hazardous waste; ◆ recycle 70% of building waste; ◆ deploy actions associated with the circular economy; ◆ develop the biowaste sector by proposing a biowaste collection service to all customers by 2020 and reduce food waste in company restaurants. Achievements The waste collection and processing contracts for the Paris airports (granted to the same service provider) provide for an increase in recycling rates by improving the waste sorting systems at the treatment centres of the collection service provider. Biowaste and non-hazardous waste are sorted by channel. All administrative offices have recycling points for paper and printer cartridges. In terminals, sorting bins are installed upstream and downstream of the checkpoints. In 2018, all these measures enabled 36.1% of non-hazardous waste to be recycled or reused (33.1% in 2017). Groupe ADP promotes the circular economy through different recurring initiatives including: ◆ regular action to collect and recycle used work clothes, books and tensaguides (to make into promotional objects); ◆ organisation of bio-waste processing at a methanisation plant. 942 tonnes of biowaste was processed into electricity (330 MWh) by the Bionerval methanisation unit in 2017. The digestates (methanisation residues) are given to farmers free of charge for use as fertilisers; ◆ collection of cooking oil at Paris-Orly’s company restaurants for transformation into agro-fuel. In 2018, Groupe ADP focused on the circular economy by: ◆ organising conferences (as part of the European Sustainable Development week) on the subject;

◆ account for 25% of clean vehicles 1 in its light vehicle 2 fleet, reduce the emissions of the other vehicles, develop electric vehicle recharging terminals in its airports; ◆ continue its mobility plan and actively contribute to inter-company mobility plans for Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris- Le Bourget airports; ◆ limit and reduce the emissions of aircraft on the ground (taxiing and parking) and ground handling vehicles (GSE) 3 ; ◆ reduce the emissions associated with airport access and internal circulation. To the objectives driven by its environmental and energy policy, can be added the commitment made during the National Conference on Air Transport (Assises nationales du transport aérien) to strengthen its partnership with AirParif, specifically to exchange monitoring data, and its collaboration in the next measurement campaigns. Groupe ADP also helped to prepare the 2018-2025 atmosphere protection plan (AAP) for the Paris urban area. The AAP sets out measures to improve air quality in the region. It includes three main challenges for the aeronautical sector: ◆ reduce the emissions from auxiliary power units (APU, which provide energy on-board the planes and for their air-conditioning on the ground) and ground handling vehicles and machinery by limiting the use of APUs and promoting the use of the least-polluting ground handling vehicles; ◆ reduce the emissions from taxiing aircraft by implementing local departure management at Paris-Orly to reduce taxiing time for departures by 3% in 2020 compared to 2015, and by promoting taxiing with N-1 (or N-2) engines; ◆ improve knowledge of aircraft emissions by communicating the emissions during the landing and take-off cycle (LTO) by aircraft/ engine couple type at Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle airports and the share of each couple in traffic and emissions. The data will be available on an annual basis with a breakdown by month. Initially, the nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollutant has been selected. Achievements All achievements mentioned within the sub-chapter “Fight against climate change” can also improve the air quality. Aéroports de Paris SA is continuing to reduce the environmental footprint of its vehicle fleet, which includes 241 electric and hybrid service vehicles (25.4% of the light vehicle fleet), and to equip its platforms with charging points (387 at end-2018). Groupe ADP has continued its mobility plan (PDM) 4 over several years, with tangible measures to optimise the travel of its employees and visitors. The 2016-2018 plan notably achieved the signature of a teleworking agreement, with the development of collaborative tools (Skype/ videoconference), the testing of an autonomous electric vehicle and the launch of a car sharing application in line with the Paris-Charles de Gaulle inter-company mobility plan. The 2019-2021 action plan was prepared with the subsidiaries in 2018. It proposes nine work focuses around four themes: work organisation (flexibility, development of innovative tools), active and shared mobility

1 Electric vehicles, hybrids or vehicles with very low CO 2

emissions.

2 City cars, management vehicles and small vans. 3 Ground Support Equipment, Ground handling vehicles. 4 Change in the Company travel plan (plan de déplacement entreprise – PDE).
