OUR CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AS AN EMPLOYER Managing an airport responsibly means first and foremost being a socially responsible employer. This entails several commitments. First, we systematically offer the personnel we take over or recruit high-quality social benefits. For example, in Cambodia, all our employees and their families have a contract covering their health care, which is exceptional in that country. Second, our incentive-based remuneration policy includes employee savings plans, such as the Group savings plan offered to the ANA employees shortly after they joined VINCI Airports. In May 2014, they were invited to take part in the Castor International employee share offering. During this first operation in Portugal, over 20% of the employees of ANA and its subsidiaries joined the plan and subscribed shares with a value of over €1.6 million. In the field of training, VINCI Airports has a strong policy aimed at developing the employability and skills of its employees. We set up the VINCI Airports Academy in 2013 to train our employees in the company’s standards and enable each of them to pursue a career in our growing network. The Academy’s goal is to develop a business-oriented culture focused on value creation, to instill an awareness of the importance of the contracting authority client and to thus spread a more collective, company-wide approach to our work. The VINCI Airports Academy is also geared to the training needs of a decentralized, networked company like ours by offering our 5,000 cus-

tomers worldwide an e-learning platform that our experienced employees can use to share their expertise. Lastly, we deploy stringent workplace safety action plans at all the airports we manage. OUR SOCIAL COMMITMENT TO THE REGION Our role as the “conductor” in orchestrating all the airport stakeholders (public authorities, airlines, local residents, passengers, businesses with airport locations, etc.) enables us to take action to foster regional development and create direct and indirect local jobs (airport employees, non-aeronautical activities, airport extension projects, and so on). As part of this endeavor we sign agreements with local authorities to foster employment of local populations, including people in difficulty. One example is Nantes, where we signed a declaration of intent with, among others, the Regional Council of the Pays de la Loire, the Regional Council of Brittany, Nantes Métropole and the Loire-Atlantique Departmental Council to foster sustainable development of employment and regional development as part of the construction and operation of the Grand Ouest airport.
