Aéroports de Paris recognised as benchmark in sustainable development by Dow Jones Sustainability Index and Sustainalytics


Just a few days before COP21, which will be held at Paris-Le Bourget airport from 30 November to 11 December 2015, Aéroports de Paris is recognised as a European and global benchmark in sustainable development. The Group has been selected to join the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the first time and ranked the number one European airport group in CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) by the agency Sustainalytics.


RobecoSam, the Swiss extra-financial rating agency who assessed the performance of some 1,800 companies in 2015, recently presented the findings of their audit awarding a score of 79/100 to Aéroports de Paris Group. The score allows the group to be included in the Europe and World Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) for the first time in its history. The financial index ranks Aéroports de Paris in the top 30 European companies in economic, environmental and social areas using performance and transparency criteria. Under analysis since 2013, the group's performance has risen by 14 points, from 65 to 79 points. In the area of the Environment, Aéroports de Paris obtained the highest score in its sector with 93/100. For human resources, Aéroports de Paris has improved significantly from 64 to 75 points.


'The DJSI is recognised and acclaimed for its precise and demanding criteria. We consider our inclusion in the index as confirmation of our efforts to better and further attune Aéroports de Paris with its natural, human and economic environment, and with its regions,' stressed Augustin de Romanet, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Aéroports de Paris.


In parallel, Sustainalytics, selected by Bloomberg as a unique source of ESG* information since May 2014, recently updated its CSR scores. Aéroports de Paris was awarded the highest ESG score amongst the main European airport groups in particular for human resources, making it the top European company in its

category and the 12thFrench company.


'Our ambition to become the benchmark European airport in CSR, announced in 2009 for 2015, has largely been achieved with this rating. We are proud of the efforts already made and in 2016 we will organise the first CSR Airport Master Class for international airport managers in order to share our best practice,' applauded Didier Hamon, Group Secretary General.
