Dear readers,

Making our products constitutes an upward value chain. Fromwires and optical bers we make cables and cable systems. We

are conscious o our corporate responsibility towards the envi-

ronment and society and are continually stepping up our eorts

in this area. Our plant in Bad Ktzting was Europes rst wire and

strand manuacturer, as long ago as 1996, to be validated pursu-

ant to EMAS.

Since 1998 LEONI has been presenting its environmental peror-

mance in this division in the orm o environmental indicators.

The Wire & Cable Solutions Divisions environmental reports

have since then each covered a period o 4 years. This third envi-

ronmental report covers the years rom 2007 through 2010.

At the end o 2006, 13 LEONI organisational units at 11 locations

in six countries were DIN ISO 14001 certied.

In the meantime we have steadily broadened and improved the

environmental management system at our acilities around the

world. Even during the economically dicult period (rom the

end o 2008 to mid 2009), we prepared more acilities or ISO

14001 certication, where this was obtained or the rst time.

At the time o the editorial deadline in June 2011, a total o 23

LEONI organisational units within the Wire & Cable Solutions

Division in nine countries China, Mexico, the United Kingdom,Slovakia, Turkey, Poland, Hungary, Switzerland and Germany

were thus certied to the ISO 14001 environmental management

standard.

4 The LEONI Group and Wire & Cable S olutions

Leading cable systems manuacturer

with a global ootprintLEONI operates worldwide, providing wires, optical bers, cables

and cable systems as well as related services or the automotive

sector and other industries. The group o companies market-

listed in the German MDAX index employs about 56,000 people

in 37 countries and generated consolidated sales o EUR 2.96

billion in 2010.

In addition to tailor-made cable solutions, the Group is

increasingly oering its customers complete systems with

perectly harmonised components. Ongoing growth o the

Company as provider o development work and systems is a

signicant trend in this respect.

Synergies thanks to a high real net output ratio

LEONI employees have proound knowledge in cable assembly

as well as a comprehensive understanding o the operating

conditions and technical correlations at the user end. In addition

there is a ratio o real net product output unique in the sector,

which provides valuable synergies: it begins with the nest

single wire and optical ber, moves on to the copper or ber

optic cable and ends with the complete wiring system including

integrated electronics.

Geared to global trends

The Company intends in the uture to benet more rom global

trends. These present the Company with major challenges

because they requently entail greater energy consumption and

environmental harm. At the same time, however, they entail

major opportunities. LEONI is thereore, with its products and

services, preparing or the change involving demography, ecol-

ogy, mobility, globalisation, industrialisation and urbanisation.

Especially with respect to environmental protection, LEONI aims

to become the most innovative cable supplier or the green

technology market.

You will nd inormation on the markets in the sections covering the individual business groups.

The Wire & Cable Solutions DivisionThe LEONI Groups structure involves a holding company and

two business divisions. The organisational structure o these

divisions is in essence geared to their customer groups and

markets. The Wire & Cable Solutions Division (WCS) is one o the

two divisions and encompasses all business involving wires and

cables.

Organisation o the WCS environmental

management systems

The person responsible or environmental management in the

LEONI Group is its CEO, Dr Klaus Probst.

Supporting him in the Wire & Cable Solutions Division are the

divisions managing director and as well as the head o the

Central Services department Quality & Environmental Manage-

ment WCS, who is also the divisions designated environmental

management ocer.

All the overarching aspects that concern environmental

management are coordinated rom this department. Examples:

Preparation o environmental reviews, regular obtaining o

relevant environmental indicators (environmental reports) rom

all ISO 14001 certied acilities, extrapolation o environmentalindicators, evaluation o the ndings o internal and external

audits as well as provision o the inormation to all acilities (syn-

ergies). Internal environmental audits are carried on a random

basis also by the WCS Divisions head oce department.

Furthermore, each o the business groups belonging to the

division has its own QM/EM oce, rom where environment-re-

lated matters are coordinated directly within the corresponding

operative organisation. Below that every ISO 1400-certied acil-

ity has the unction o an environmental protection ocer who

is primarily responsible or operational environmental protec-

tion. For the corresponding implementation o LEONIs environ-

mental policy, they set specic environmental targets together

with the plant managers. The acilitys management regularly

reviews work towards these targets as part o an environmental

programme.

Environmental report Wire & Cable Solutions The LEONI Group and Wire & Cable Solutions 5

Systematic environmental management

The principles o our environmental policy are binding on all

employees as well as on all our business activity.Environmental assets are used at each stage o our produc-

tion processes. Keeping the environmental impact as limited as

possible requires communication and cooperation between the

people involved. Environment-related corporate principles and

targets that serve as a guide to the people involved are essential

to such cooperative eorts. As long ago as 1995, LEONI laid this

down in an environmental policy that is binding on all employ-

ees and accessible to our business partners.

We actively involve our sta in environmental protection. Acting

in an environmentally aware manner is part o every employeesjob. Careul treatment and sparing use o resources, including

separation o waste or example, can work eectively only when

those involved are convinced o the benets. Sta motivation

is essential in this regard. Only when an environmentally aware

attitude is instilled among all employees can measures develop

their ull potential. Extending and promoting the awareness

o responsibility or the environment at all levels is an ongoing

management task.

We shall reduce negative environmental impact to the mini-

mum permitted by using the best available technology that is

economically viable. As early as the design and planning o our

products and processes we ensure that environmental harm is

largely avoided, that emissions and waste are reduced and that

resources are used sparingly.

We undertake to adhere to all pertinent environmental laws and

directives as well as internal rules o conduct. We maintain an

open dialog with customers, authorities and the general public

about issues within our Company that relate to the environment.

We urge our business partners to ollow environmental guide-lines comparable to our own and we advise our customers on

environmentally riendly ways to handle and dispose o our

products.

We regularly evaluate the status o environmental protection

within our Company as well as the technical and organisational

procedures thus required in order to identiy weaknesses, to

initiate the required measures and to document the progress

that has been made.

We raise the level o saety at work by identiying and remov-

ing potential sources o danger to people and the environment.

Health and saety at work as well as environmental protection

are closely interlinked and work practice-related ormulation

o processes usually also results in enhanced environmental

compatibility.

We ensure, with appropriate environmental management, that

our environmental policy is applied eectively.

Environmentally aware thinking that is conveyed to our variouslocations by our environmental management prevails at the

acilities o the Wire & Cable Solutions Division.

Environmental policy at LEONI

We acknowledge that, as a commercial enterprise, we share a

special responsibility or saeguarding the natural essentials o

lie. It is our aim to strike a balance between peoples aspira-

tions, environmental concerns and the interests o our Com-

pany. Environmental protection consequently is a mandatory

element o our business activity at LEONI. Business success and

ecological responsibility are no contradiction in terms or us.

We rate environmental protection among our primary busi-

ness objectives and include it in LEONIs quality policy. The

environmental compatibility o processes and products is raised

by incorporating them in our continuous improvement process

(German abbr.: KVP).

6 Green technology

EcologicallyImprovement o environmental perormance through innova-

tive products and solutions o both divisions

Green technology

What exactly does green technology mean?

Also described as environmental technology, the term repre-sents products and services that enable businesses to operate

more energy eciently and be more sparing with resources; to

reduce emissions and thereby to urther increase the environ-

mental compatibility o all their processes.

Demand or environmentally compatible and sustainable

technologies (green technology) continues to rise unabated.

LEONI has set itsel the goal o becoming the most innovative

cable manuacturer or environmentally riendly technologies.

Yet how is green dened?

There is a very avourable trend in green technology es-

pecially or German companies, which in many cases lead the

global market in this respect. Customers are increasingly calling

or green products and ever more environmental legislation

is coming into orce worldwide. The proportion o patents with

reerence to green technology is continually rising. Investors

are also increasingly basing their decisions on how companies

are dealing with the challenges o climate change and environ-

mental protection.

The six global trends o particular importance to LEONI i.e.

the growing population & demographic change, urbanisation,

globalisation, environmental awareness & shortage o resources,industrialisation & automation as well as mobility - present the

Company with both ecological and economic challenges.

We have thus geared our portolio o products and services to

six principal markets or environmental technologies that have,

on the basis o scientic studies, been identied as markets o

the uture.

LEONI does not just pay lip service to sustainability. We are

the rst cable manuacturer to have developed a holistic concept

or green technology. We thus dene all products and system

solutions as well as services that contribute to lowering green-

house gases or serve as a contribution to specic environmental

technologies that control air and water pollution.

In so doing, we rate our activities according to the ollowing

three criteria:

Product: Use o environmentally compatible raw materials

that comply with national and international guidelines Process: Environmental certication o the acilities in our

worldwide production network to ensure optimum energy

and resource eciency in the manuacturing process

Application: Use o our products and solutions in dened

markets to achieve greater energy eciency and CO2 reduc-

tion

Where do we stand with green technology right now?

More than two years ago, both o our divisions extrapolated the

global trends to uture growth areas or LEONI as part o their

strategic planning.

Since 2010 we have successully applied the interlinking o

global trends with our strategy and green technology to posi-

tion LEONI under the motto o mobility and the environment.

We shall continue this or 2011 under the motto o urbanisation

and the environment and will present a urther trend with very

specic solutions by LEONI.

LEONI is making a signicant contribution in three ways

Economically

Strengthening o our customer base through innovative,

technology-driven products and solutions

Socially

Raising the awareness o employees and business partners

Environmental report Wire & Cable Solutions Data collection within the various business groups 9

Data (quantities produced, consumption and amounts o waste)

is collected consistently and annually across all acilities thathave an ISO 14001-certied environmental management system.

The compression o data is presented hereinater, at both the

business group level and the level o the Wire & Cable Solutions

Division.

In order to chart environmental indicators across the period

rom 2007 to 2010, six ratios were established per business

group. The amount o semi-nished and nished good produced

(wires, cables, bulk cable and cable systems) in each case serves

as the reerence gure as it already did in the previous environ-

mental report.

The ratios we have established are:

Electricity consumption

[kWh] / product [kg]

CO2 emission

[kg] / product [kg]

Other energy sources

(heating oil and gas)

[kWh] / product [kg]

Production waste

(wires and cables; at wire acilities copper waste only)

[kg] / product [kg]

Water consumption

[l] / product [kg]

Waste water

[l] / product [kg]

accessible at http://www.izu.bayern.de/praxis/detail_praxis.php?pid=0203010100217

Data collection within the various business groups

The trajectory o CO2 emissions shown reers to the total energy

consumption (electricity, heating oil, gas as well as, in somecases, district heating) o the individual plants within a business

group.

The respective energy consumption [kWh] was converted into

CO2 emissions [kg]* using the CO2 calculator.

The other energy sources comprise oil and/or gas and, to a

minor extent, district heating. Oil and gas is used or heating and

production at almost all acilities.

It was in many cases not possible to maintain the positive

trend in production waste as planned because o the smaller

batch sizes during the economically dicult time (end o 2008

to approx. mid 2009). This eect is also evident in the energy

consumption trends.

It is attributable mainly to the smaller batch sizes, which

involved more requent ramp-up processes than usual, as well

as very low capacity utilisation in some cases.

The environmental indicators

The main reason or the increase in electricity consumptionand other energy sources in the years rom 2009 is the shit

away rom large volume products and heavy FlexLine ones. The

products made instead involve a ar larger number and more

complex work steps. Furthermore, a new heating system as well

as additional, high power consuming compressors went into

Business Unit Industrial Projects. You will nd this units cables

used in numerous projects around the globe. Some o these pro-

jects are smaller; some ser ve huge plants, quite oten cover ing a

period o several years.

The cable solutions o our Business Unit Solar & Wind Power

are exceptionally varied. Our greatest attention here is on the as-pects o saety, resistance to aggressive media and temperature,

size optimisation and weight reduction. We realise this with a lot

o know-how in our development laboratories and with a high

degree o vertical integration. We achieve higher quality with

very good physical and electrical values by means o electron

beam crosslinking on our own lines.

Business Unit Trafc oers customised and rst-rate cable

solutions that meet the special demands o ship and marine

engineering.

With the extensive portolio o products and services or

internal and external wiring o rolling stock we will support you

across the entire liecycle o your vehicles.

For complex applications in industry and the inrastructure

sector involving airports and airlines our core areas o expertise

lie in the development, design, manuacture and distribution o

high quality cables and conductors.

Business Unit Irradiation Services is one o the largest Euro-

pean service providers in the eld o crosslinking and modiy-

ing plastics, sterilisation and similar applications with help oelectron beams and gamma rays.

At present, our acility in Dniken, Switzerland, which employs

about 100 people, has seven electron accelerators with powerranging rom 0.5 to 10 MeV as well as one pallet gamma sterilisa-

tion line. An additional sterilisation line that is based on x-rays

was commissioned in 2010.

Our newly established acility in Bautzen, eastern Germany,

runs an electron accelerator. A second accelerator is already in

the process o being set up.

Innovative technologies will saeguard tomorrows energy

supply. Our Business Unit Energy & Communication makes the

connection or the uture - global energy supply is one o the

major challenges o the immediate uture. Renewable energy

sources have to be developed and new standards have to be

established. We are conscious o this task and are committing

ourselves with innovations, quality products and services or

ecient energy generation and distribution.


Our locations in Stolberg (Germany) und Dniken (Switzerland)

are already ISO 14001 certied.

Thanks not least to the commitment o our 2500 employees,

Business Group Electrical Appliance Assemblies to a large

extent implemented the ISO 14001-compliant environmental

management system and steadily broadened it. The ISO 14001

environmental standard was already established years ago at the

relevant production sites.


Business Group Electrical Appliance Assemblies produces at ourlocations (one plant in Slovakia, two plants in China and one in

Spain). Two o these production acilities (LEONI Xiamen in China

and LEONI Nova Dubnica in Slovakia) are ISO 14001 certied.

We are aware o the responsibility we share and protect natural

resources as well as the oundations o lie. Our aim is to strike

a balance between respect or nature and achieving business

objectives. Environmental protection is a key element o our

Companys activity.


By adjusting the size o sea containers used at our Chinese

acilities we achieved savings in logistics o between 15 and

more than 30 percent.

In collaboration with various household appliance manuac-

turers, Business Group Electrical Appliance Assemblies has

developed environmentally-riendly, halogen-ree assembled

cables and launched its LEONI EcoSense trademark in 2010.

By making use o waste heat rom compressors at our

Slovakian acility we managed to heat processing water on a

permanent basis as well as to eed excess heat into building

heating during the winter. This achieved substantial savingson electrical energy.

We realised urther energy savings by means o cooling water

management that is geared to the outside temperature.

Business Group Conductors & Copper Solutions

Business Group Conductors & Copper Solutions is represented by

LEONI Draht GmbH, based in Weissenburg, Bavaria. With its a-cilities, it has an international production network making wires

and strands o copper, galvanic-plated copper and copper alloys.

These products are used in all segments o electrical engineer-

ing: in the automotive industry, electric and electronic systems,

telecommunications, the solar industry, energy technology, data

technology, medical technology, high-requency technology,

military technology as well as in aerospace engineering.

Environmentally riendly growth and ecological responsibility

are refected not only in our use o environmentally compatible

production methods, but also in the development o products

that are optimised to save energy and or the use o renewable

energy sources.

Accordingly, the ocus in the area o electric conductors is on

designing strands in concentric and semi-concentric structures

that are especially round as well as on miniaturisation through

the use o high-strength alloys. During urther processing in the

cable industry, these materials provide savings on insulation

material and weight and consequently reduce the CO2 emissions

o vehicles, or example.

With our new production area or fat wires or the solar indus-

try (cell and string connectors or photovoltaic modules) we aremaking our contribution to urther development in the use o

renewable energy sources.

We also manuacture highly fexible, fat copper tapes, ropes

and braids, which are used in the production o carbon brushes

and welding equipment as well as increasingly also in wind

turbines and electric vehicles.

Alongside the modern, ecient materials or industry, we

continue to this day to also make the traditional Lyonese wares,

such as gold and silver-plated threads, bullion wire and stitching

wire or precious embroidery.


Our acilities in Weissenburg (Germany) with 200 employees,

Bad Ktzting (Germany) with 140 employees, Roth (Germany)

with 23 employees and Cinderord (United Kingdom) with

90 employees are already ISO 14001 certied.


Measures to save precious resources have or years alreadybeen driven orward hand in hand with improvement o working

conditions and also with optimisation in averting threats at all

acilities.

Improving energy eciency is a constant ocal point. Conse-

quently, our acility in Roth, or example, gradually introduced

more energy-ecient lighting, while the Weissenburg plant

optimised compressor control.

Just as much attention is devoted to consumption o heat

energy and thereore o ossil uels. Savings were achieved by

eeding the heat expelled by the production process back into

the heating system by means o heat recovery systems.

Heat losses and areas exposed to the potential threat o re

were identied by conducting thermographic surveys. Weak

points ound in the process were eliminated. Workshops contrib-

ute to raising the awareness o sta while large-scale re drills

are part o emergency preparedness.

Water is the oundation o all lie on earth. Sparing use o

this precious resource is thereore a key element in the area o

environmental management. The demand or drawing emulsion

is lowered through the use o modern ltration systems. Fresh

water consumption, as well as the disposed amount o wasteemulsion, consequently also dropped. One o our acilities makes

use o rain water by catching it o the roo o a building exten-

sion and eeding it into the cooling water cycle. This also eases

the burden on the municipal sewage treatment plant.

Fresh air and low noise are given high priority at all o our

acilities. As a matter o principle, new production lines are

thereore tted with noise protection cabins and exhaust sys-

tems with silencers. A ventilation system at our acility in

Bad Ktzting is capable o completely exchanging all the air

o a production shop 7 times an hour, thereby providing

better ambient conditions.

The commissioning o high-tech machinery (tin-plating line orsolar braids; multi-wire drawing line or nickel-plated wires) as

well as setting up o high power consuming plant (rolling mill)

temporarily causes less productive circumstances. Yet this re-

quires resources such as electrical power and water, which is why

these key indicators are partly on a downward trajectory.

Drawing processes involve high power consumption and cause

waste heat, which in the winter months is used to heat the pro -

duction shops. During the period o weak capacity utilisation

rom the end o 2008 to early 2009 this eect had to be com-

pensated with more use o oil and gas. Consumption o other

energy sources was thereore up.

This Environmental Report advises the public, especially our

customers and employees, on our environment-related activity.Please eel ree to contact us i you have any questions or sug-

gestions concerning this topic.

We will answer any o your questions concerning the environ-

ment and energy that you email to: [email protected].

This report is available or download (also in German) to all

interested persons and groups rom our website at www.leoni.

com.

You will nd urther inormation on the subject o the environ-

ment on our website.

Energy:

Production requires energy!It will in the uture become increasingly important, in the wake

o steadily rising energy demand, to give greater weight to the

subject o energy management, which is tied closely to the

subject o environmental management.

This means not losing sight o diering actors always rom

a commercial aspect. The principle is to consider renewable en-

ergy not only when buying electrical power or to always acquire

the best possible technology with respect to production plant,

but also to take a structured approach in continual execution o

energy-saving projects.

Energy eciency means, at constant output, reduction o

the energy used by means o continual improvement o various

processes.

Sustainability:

LEONI denes sustainability as working in a commercially,

environmentally and energy aware manner. This includes the en-

vironmental compatibility o products as well as the behaviour

o all employees with respect to environmentally aware dealing

with all resources. With respect to the development opportu-

nities o upcoming generations, we also call or and supportsustainability in the area o research and development.

Copper:

The raw material o copper is one o the main components o

our products. That is why we vigorously pursue raw material e-

ciency in this respect. We continually strive towards minimising

production waste in our everyday work.

Insulation materials:

Insulation materials are another key element. We develop and

produce cable insulation compounds in line with legal require-

ments (REACH, RoHS) and according to customer specications

with respect to banned substances.

In addition, we have developed compounds in which ecologi-

cally dubious elements have been substituted. Future insulation

materials will have more avourable properties; along with being

fame retardant and partly sel-extinguishing, the compounds

are halogen ree and resistant to mechanical strain.
