The Group adopts a systemic approach to waste management, aiming to stabilize unit consumption over time. Although total waste per vehicle may increase due to production scale and innovation areas, ongoing projects focus on minimizing waste generation as much as possible.

In addition, at the beginning of 2023, we implemented the use of scorifying salts in the aluminum melting process with the specific aim of maximizing material recovery. By facilitating the removal of impurities and enabling a cleaner separation of aluminum from scrap, we have reduced the amount of aluminum discarded. This improvement has led to a 50 percent decrease in slag, underscoring our commitment to reducing waste and optimizing resource use. No significant operational or capital expenditures have been allocated to this action in 2024 or are planned for the future. For the medium-term future, we plan to reduce the use of this virgin material by focusing on secondary alloy from recycled processes and on the reduction of quarry-derived resources.
