Letterto stakeholders
We hereby present you the second edition of the Sustainability Report of Autogas Nord Group.
Our path continues maintaining our commitment to inform our stakeholders on the responsible and sustainable way of growth that we want to pursue.
We are developing a shared corporate culture for the Group, which is founded on the claim “Tradition and Innovation”, while preserving all of the main elements of our history, and our traditional values, but always oriented towards the “new” to ensure creation of a long-term value from the financial, environmental, social and ethical point of view.
Over the years, our commitment in sustainability enhanced to involve not only operations to support social and cultural projects on the territory, but above all with a development within economic activities characterized by strengthened sustainable elements, like the Division dedicated to Energy Efficiency as well as the development of service and installations within renewable energies.
Our commitment is grounded on an approach which considers new technologies in both traditional and
alternative energies, also integrated, in order to ensure positive effects on the environment and accessible solutions for our customers.
Similarly, we are committed to ensure to all our people safety conditions of the working environment and the protection of employees’ health in any business. The climate changes, the energy crisis and the financial instability require new approaches, and for us it is a constant and continuous challenge to supply energy to people in an environmental-friendly way while respecting our community. In fact, we consider that companies have a key role in creating value and wellness for the community and in the areas of operation, and that the sustainable approach is the key element to ensure development and wealth for future generations.

GRUPPOAUTOGASNORD
Three years after the publication of the first Sustainability Report, we follow-up the reporting process of Autogas Nord Group through this second edition of the Report. This is the systematization of a corporate transparency and disclosure process, strongly endorsed by our management, aiming to consolidate dialog and exchange with our key stakeholders.
The 2015 Sustainability Report has been drafted in accordance with G4 Guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the “core” option. The GRI is a no profit organization, based on a network of thousands of professionals and global organization, promoting the use of sustainability reporting as a tool, aiming to enable companies and businesses to increase their sustainability, while supporting the sustainability of global economy.
The contents and indicators presented in this Report have been defined on the basis of preliminary documentary analysis followed by a materiality analysis which directly involved the Autogas Nord Group Management, taking into account the requests of our stakeholders arising from communication and involvement initiatives developed by the Company in several occasions.
The Report is structured into two sections. The first section is dedicated to the Group presentation, with a focus on the organization and business model. The second section describes the sustainability strategy pursued, as well as the impact and performance of the Group from a point of view of the three aspects of economic, environmental and social sustainability.
The responsible management of a business goes first of all through disclosure and exchange with stakeholders, in the view to the requirements and expectations of our stakeholders.
The publication of this Sustainability Report comes from the desire to analyze our actions on the basis of their impact, and to orientate our corporate strategy accordingly, while respecting the current and the future generations.

Starting with the mapping of our stakeholders, we began an assessment process of the interaction and involvement activities we implemented to date with each category.
The choice of the topics presented in this report is the result of a process aiming to identity and assess the topics of sustainability that are significantly affecting the capability of our organization to create value in the short, medium and long term.
A first evaluation of “material” topics was made through a documentary analysis based on:• corporate documents, like the Ethical Code, the
website, the service and product brochures of the Group
• GRI Documents: the G3.1 and G4 guidelines and the in-depth document identifying the potentially most relevant and specific topics for the companies operating in the “Oil & Gas” industry
• Benchmarking analysis made on companies of the industry, which already implemented the sustainability report
On these grounds an internal assessment has been implemented, directly involving the management
and the competent functions for Marketing & Communication, Human Resources, Finance and Control, Safety and Legal Affairs.
Secondly, the corporate vision was crossed with stakeholder perspective, synthesizing the inputs gathered in the daily management of our business.
This process brought to the identification of some relevant topics on which the Autogas Nord Group has decided to concentrate its resources and focus the report in this second edition of the Sustainability Report:• Innovation of products and services• Organizational efficiency• Environment protection• Promotion of human resources• Concern for the territory
Our commitment for the future, besides the activities of information, always implemented toward specific stakeholders (safety audit bodies, municipality, financial system), will be to thoroughly define the relevant topics for each category, providing detailed reporting and to increasingly orient our strategy towards sustainability.

In this section, the economic impact of the Group is measured and assessed on the different categories of stakeholders and relations with suppliers are described.
The following tables highlight, through details on the Distributed Economic Value, the direct (staff remuneration and capital) and indirect contribution (duties and taxes, purchasing of raw materials and services, interests to financial backers, donations and sponsorships, investments) of the corporate system towards the community.
As shown, along these years the Group has implemented a capital recovery policy and non-distribution of dividends to stakeholders depending on investments related to business enhancement and diversification.In fact, the following chart shows the constant decrease of the debt trend since 2013, the result of this strategic choice.
Moreover, with respect to the economic value distributed to the community, it is possible to see how 2014 is characterized by a considerably higher amount than the other years, which is determined by a donation made in relation to a natural disaster.

Innovation of products and services and organizational efficiency to allow room for new markets
We are convinced that the financial viability is the first responsibility of a company. For this reason, in over 60 years of activity, our Group has always aimed to the excellence of service and development of new business lines, functional for the continued evolution of consumptions and demands of the market.
In order to ensure an efficient organizational model and attentive to market evolution, the Autogas Nord Group has implemented a process of re-organization in terms of structure and resources, supported by an external consultancy company.
Against the tightening of the market in the latest years, our choice was to diversify our offer, enhancing our range of products and services, while maintaining our presence throughout the national territory.New investments and our ambition for expansion and constant innovation enabled us positioning on new global markets (Belgium and Romania) for special products sector.
To meet the new demands of households and trading businesses in matter of renewable energy, in 2014 we activated the new division E² = Energia & Efficienza, specialized in energy saving and efficiency solutions and services, aiming to minimize consumptions while protecting the environment.
Suppliers
For the daily selection and management of goods and service providers, we do not follow standardized procedures, but we refer to the principles and criteria of conduct expressed in our Ethical Code, like transparency, non-discrimination and moral integrity. We pay particular attention when selecting the local installers for energy efficiency and the installation maintenance technicians, to whom we require a proven professionalism and expertise.

Environmental sustainabilityProtection of the environment
The environment protection through the reduction of environmental impact is a key aspect of the corporate commitment in sustainability, always at the center of the business development policies of Autogas Nord Group and of the values daily conveyed to our employees and partners.
The sustainable commitment of the Group starts from the core business of the company – LGP – an intrinsically ecological product with a minimized environmental impact, to cover the complete range of products and services offered, with specific reference to development of renewable energies (hydroelectric, photovoltaic), special products (propellant and refrigerant gases as substitutes of hazardous CFCs), to consultancy activities designed for energy saving and efficiency.
Energy Consumptions
The energy consumptions of the Group are attributable to the following activities:- Fuel oil for handling of corporate vehicles- Electric energy, taken from the network to operate
electric and electronic equipment, lighting,
conditioning, machinery and services of the facilities of the Group
- Methane and LPG, for heating and transport systemIn addition, the Group produces electric energy from renewable energy through Verdenergia Company and its hydroelectric and photovoltaic power plants. Production has considerably increased in the latest years, from approximately 3,000 MWh/ year of 2012 to over 10,000 MWh/ year of 2014 and 2015, as shown in the following chart.
THE GRUPPO AUTOGAS NORD AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
14
GRUPPOAUTOGASNORD
Verdenergia has implemented at the main premises of the Group an intervention for energy efficiency based on LED technology, which will bring a reduction of consumptions equal to approximately 100 MWh/ year, corresponding to CO2 reduction of 44 t/ year.The table above details the investments made.
Air emissions
Considering the activities of the Group, oriented to the marketing of gas products with lower environmental impact, and to dissemination of alternative energy, the major influence from the point of view of air emission is represented by the transportation of products placed on the market, and by displacement of agents of the sales network.
The active corporate fleet consists of 255 vehicles (151 tankered vehicles and 104 corporate cars, supplied to the sales network).
The LPG to customer throughout the national territory is performed, necessarily, via product transport by tanker, leaving little room to substantive improvement
actions. Despite this type of traffic is difficult to compress, the Group is constantly committed to optimize the distribution and logistics network, through storage exchange in partnership with the competitors and scheduling of supply to customers in restricted areas. These actions allow optimizing transport while minimizing the travel times.
In addition, with respect to cars, it is worth reporting that the corporate fleet is rent, and consists of new-generation vehicles and with lower environmental impact. Below it is reported the breakdown of vehicles as of 31/12/2015 according to the seven “Euro” categories (identifying the European standards concerning emission of pollutants) and according to the type of power.

The care for soil protection is a priority for our business. For this reason, we rely on systems to constantly assess the safety and integrity of structures, configured (except the service stations) as closed-loop systems, and we promptly intervene if require.

ACCIDENTSDuring the three-year period under exam, it is possible to see how the number of accidents at work has decreased. In 2015 an accident has occurred which determined the rise of severity rate to 146 LDR (accident severity rate), normally attested instead on an average value of 90 LDR.
Attention to social issues
The Autogas Nord Group has been committed for many years in creating and consolidating relationships with local communities of reference, providing a relevant contribution to the social and cultural development, as well as economic of its area of operation.
The “Open Days” of the Group are days during which guided tours are planned to the production cycle of plants, aiming to provide a close-up view of the business of the Group.Moreover, “ad hoc” entertainments are scheduled for children, with the help of experts in the industry, and agreements and synergies are developed with schools.Every initiative is performed in accordance with local institutions.
During the three-year period under exam, the Autogas Nord Group continued its commitment, along with the single businesses throughout the territory, in supporting social, cultural and sporting initiatives.
The Group continuously supports the Onlus Association “Il Porto dei piccoli”, which, since 2005 approaches children in hospital and their families to the culture of the sea. The Association is currently active in Genova at the Operating Units of “G. Gaslini” Institute, the Nursing Homes of the Red Cross and at the Paediatrics Units of Savona, Imperia, Sanremo, La Spezia, Livorno, and is in constant expansion.
BENEFITSSThe Group schedules a supplementary social and healthcare fund for its employees, by subscription to dedicated insurance funds, as shown in the following table.

Other initiatives that are constantly supported by the Group are the sporting event “Tor des Géants”, in Valle d’Aosta region, the cultural activities of the MISA (International Museum of Outdoor Sculpture), the Festival of Literature of Mantova and the “Le nuove vie” festival of Courmayeur.
In 2014 we supported CCS (Onlus Center for Cooperation and Development) in the context of a supporting initiative in favor of people from Nepal.
Moreover, in 2015, we started a partnership with FAI (Italian Fund for Environment) and with the Museum of Villa Croce in Genova.
The care for the territory is also reflected in implementing the request of institutions and people concerning the impact of the facilities of the Group. The photometric analyses are regularly performed, as well as any analysis provided by law, promptly intervening where required. In 2015, for example, additional phonometric measures have been performed with respect to those provided by law, following a complaint by the population concerning the Cogoleto storage (Genova). The measures, confirmed upon inspection by the competent authorities, (VVFF and Prefecture of Genova) did not report any abnormalities nor irregularities.
