INNOVATING TO PRODUCE RESULTS
RESPECT
FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Aéroports de Paris aims for excellence in environmental management. This aim guides our investment decisions and operating practices alike and includes our partners and customers. Our policy covers five categories: energy, water, air and emissions, waste and biodiversity. It requires significant employee involvement and substantial resources. A set of key environmental performance indicators enables the executive committee to track performance on a quarterly basis. CERTIFIED AIRPORTS The three airports and the Issy-les-Moulineaux heliport are ISO 14001 certified. Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly Airports use an integrated management system. They have attained Level 3 of the Airport Carbon Accreditation scheme, testifying to the efficiency of the measures taken to reduce CO2 emissions. Paris-Le Bourget has Level 2 status and aims to achieve Level 3 in 2015. LESS CONSUMPTION, LOWER EMISSIONS In 2015, Aéroports de Paris is aiming to derive 15% of the energy it consumes from renewable sources and to reduce its internal energy consumption per constructed square foot by 12.5%. Between 2009 and 2014, Aéroports de Paris SA reduced CO2 emissions from the energy it consumed by 41.4%. HQE®-certified buildings, the geothermal facility at Paris-Orly, the wood-fired boiler and the solar power facility at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, optimised lighting, heating and air conditioning, and less-polluting vehicles all contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. An ISO 50001 energy management system is being deployed. Airside, 400 Hz electrical power points for parked aircraft and shorter taxiing times save more than 20,000 metric tonnes of CO2 per year.

Waste sorting has been introduced into the airports and the terminals, with the aim to recycle 30% of non-hazardous waste. PRESERVING WATER AND BIODIVERSITY To reduce our internal water consumption by 5% per passenger between 2010 and 2015, drinking water networks are monitored remotely, and rainwater is reused for air conditioning, toilets and watering outdoor green areas. At Paris-Orly, stormwater runoff passes through a filter marsh. Vegetable waste is composted and reused, which reduces the need for watering. Alternative maintenance techniques are given priority in order to minimise the use of pesticides, and development guides include recommendations for preserving biodiversity.
