The Environmental Practice sets out key principles to manage IROs such as compliance with applicable regulatory and legal requirements, a periodic and systematic establishment of improvement objectives and their monitoring and measurement through KPIs, the development of products that meet customers’ needs while ensuring respect for the environment, and the adoption of the best available technologies for the efficiency of production processes and the reduction of environmental impacts. These principles include pollution prevention.

The SoC and SVHC used in our production process are mainly calculated considering the observed amounts used during the production process. Since primary data is not currently available for the categories excluded from the obligation to report to the competent authority pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 102 of 30 July 2020, we estimate the amounts of SoC leaving our facilities as products, or as part of products, and the 78 percent of SoC included in the category “Other hazard classes” of the SoC used during production or that are procured. We estimated these data based on the total amount purchased during the year, using a proxy sample amounting to 10 percent of total products containing those substances. Regarding the candidate list substances present in our cars, we calculate the amount taking into consideration the car configuration of the European and UK market and the number of shipments in 2024. This methodology is not validated by an external body.
