We have implemented best practices to avoid or minimize the risk of harm in managing substances of concern and substances of very high concern, even though no specific pollution-related target has been set. Additionally, according to the procedures described above, we have put in place specific processes to monitor and track their right application also through periodic audits carried out by the Environmental and Energy and the Health & Safety teams. The results of the audits are recorded on a specific form and sent to all those in charge. The closure of anomalies and the verification of effectiveness are recorded and monitored by the Environment and Energy Department on a specific summary file.

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.
