The information reported in this document supplements and expands on environmental content in the Report on Corporate Responsibility (CR) 2018, published befo- rehand. To this end, the data compiled in this Environmental Management Report 2018 can slightly differ from the former. It is worth highlighting that the current report describes the material aspects of the company in relation to the environment and identified in the aforementioned CR Report, in addition to supplementing information about other aspects that without being material, comprise part of Aena's environmental management. Moreover, to secure the quality and accuracy of the Report, in its preparation we have based ourselves on the array of indicators proposed by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) in its edition GRI Standards, a framework reference that is recognized worldwide. Lastly, we also demonstrate how our goals and initiatives are connected to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations, in addition to being aligned to the ten principles defined in the United Nations Global Compact, of which we are partners. 2018 | Environmental Management of Aena 5 Main 2016 2017 2018 Environmental claims Requests Consumption Figures for environmental of water and complaints information (thousands 5,050.55 5,736.96 5,753.33 2016 2017 2016 2017 2018 2018 of m3) 3,398 5,556 3,555 788 1,674 1,376 2016 2017 2018 Number of people Breakdown exposed to noise of generated in 2018 Lday Levening Lnight waste Non-hazardous 47,588 63,984 69,928 65 dB (A) 65 dB (A) 55 dB (A) waste (tons) Hazardous 737 399 650 SNM phase III 3,219 2,337 5,083 waste 2016 2017 2018 Energy 2016 2017 2018 generated from Gas Emissions of the renewable Greenhouse Eect 349,909 264,057 242,789 sources 11,340 10,235 10,972 (Scope 1 and 2) (t COeq) (Gigajoules) 40 Environmental Energy and Acoustic impact Environmental Comunicación with commitment climate change management protection the environment We are the 263.7million passengers Our management first airport The more than 263.7 million passengers that passed through our facilities in 2018 Our activity is oriented on the management of Spanish airports and heliports of interest, operator are equivalent to more of a third of the which we carry out like a trade company operating under the name Aena EMS, S.A.

Environmental complaints Allow us to learn about the possible negative impacts resulting from our activity that we then analyse, and based on the results, we can develop strategies for their prevention and correction. 2018 | Environmental Management of Aena 8 Environmental Energy and Acoustic impact Environmental Comunicación with commitment climate change management protection the environment To gradually make progress and focus all our effort on concrete purposes, we have established goals in our environmental management that will bring our goals to life: Improvement of the image perceived by society and the communication channels with our stakeholders. Maximization of energy efficiency from our activity and boosting renewable energies, contributing to the minimization of CO2 emissions to reach carbon neutrality at our facilities. Compatibility of the management of airports relating to the environment where they are located. Reinforcement of a model that guarantees a sustainable coexistence with the communities and environment, especially the issue of noise. Answering the needs of society, going beyond the established legal requirements, through the implementation of Innovative solutions. Based on the opportunities and goals detected in relation to environmental management, we have defined a series of objectives to 2021 that we set out in our Strategic Plan 2018-2021, where environmental sustainability is established as one of its main strategic lines. By means of its application, we try to achieve a more sustainable air transport, carrying out our activity in a way that allows
