Methodology and scope of analysis

The analysis covered the main emission sources along the value chain, considering for each category:

1. emission magnitude;
2. level of organizational influence;
3. availability and quality of data.

This approach made it possible to identify areas on which to focus reduction and improvement actions.

The following emissions categories were analyzed:

1. direct and indirect energy consumption: natural gas, company car fuels, electricity;
2. fugitive emissions: refrigerant gas losses and other process gases;
3. transport and logistics: transportation of material and waste;
4. people mobility: employee commuting and business travel;
5. purchased goods and services: materials used, packaging, and outsourced processing activities;
6. waste management;
7. catering services (company canteen).

Results: the relevance of Scope 3

The organization’s total greenhouse gas emissions amount to 50,847.7 tCO₂eq.

Scope 3 emissions for Italy account for 45,783.8 tCO₂eq, representing approximately 90% of the total. This result confirms that most of the organization’s climate impact is generated by indirect activities along the value chain.

Improvement plan and future outlook

Based on the results achieved, a specific improvement plan has been defined, aimed at the progressive reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, with particular attention to the most material Scope 3 categories and those over which the organization can exert a higher level of influence.

The plan includes targeted actions on processes, suppliers, and behaviors, as well as the gradual strengthening of data quality and coverage, in line with the Sustainability Plan and the company’s ESG objectives.

With a view to continuous improvement, starting in 2026 the Carbon Footprint reporting perimeter will be extended to European subsidiaries, enabling a more comprehensive and representative view of the organization’s overall climate impact across the entire value chain.
