Italian National Programme for the Environmental Footprint Program for the environmental footprint of productive systems and models
The Italian Programme: The voluntary Agreement with Private Sector Context: Kyoto Protocol and EU Climate-Energy Agreement, 2008. Aim: Real test taking into account the peculiarities of the different productive sectors, based on a public-private voluntary partnership finalized at the identification and optimization of methodologies to the environmental impact of the production and consumption models. (Agreement model)

Working Plan I step Carbon footprint evaluation on common goods during their cycle of life II step Follow-up on possible measures for reducing GHG emissions during the cycle of life of the goods selected III step Suggestions on possible measures for neutralizing the carbon footprint IV step Information and public communication on the results of the carbon footprint evaluation
Case Studies San Benedetto (beverage) Ca’ Foscari (university) Osklen (Brazilian textile brand) Lamborghini Pirelli, Illy, Benetton Salina: Sustainable Island Sustainable Italian wines
San Benedetto: The “easy” bottle • The new bottle is made of • 30% recycled R-PET • The sales increased of 78% • Energy consumption -13% • • - 30.000 t CO2eq • The Company already started to reduce its CF onsite and to enhance its commitment by cooperating with other companies on waste recycling initiatives. Carbon Footprint of the old 1 liter bottle from 2010 production: 210 gr CO2eq Carbon Footprint of the new 1liter bottle from 2011 production: 173 gr CO2eq which are neutralized and therefore carbon neutral

Ateneo Ca’ Foscari: Carbon management di sistemi complessi • Students and employees mobility: The survey highlighted the critical point of GHG emissions. The survey attended by 788 Italian students (about 4%), 1000/1086 international students, 354 employees (about 31%) • The CO2 calculator: To encourage students and staff to reduce their carbon emissions. In the first month (Sep 2012) over 400 completed questionnaires • Guidelines: Development of Carbon Management methodology for Italian universities • Dissemination of know-how: Launch of the Master in Management of Sustainability and Carbon Footprint
Traces: The Italian-Brazilian Project • Traces is an innovative project on carbonfootprint survey and socialenvironmentalimpacts in the fashion industry. The purpose was to provide sustainable models, improve social initiatives and to evaluate GHG emissions, as well as to identify possible mitigation measures to minimize the environmental impact. • Life Cycle Assessment of 6 Osklen products: Pirarucu bag, Organic Silk Sneakers, Recycled cotton bag, Recycled cotton shoes, Organic cotton T-shirt, Jute bag

Strategy for the environment in the automotive industry Product efficiency • Lamborghini is the first in Italy to sign an agreement • on the environmental footprint in the automotive industry • Analysis and accounting of CO2 emissions (carbon footprint) for the construction of the monocoque and parts made by carbon fibre, in order to reduce and/or neutralize them • Management system for the reduction of emissions, specifically for the design, development and production of luxury cars • Optimum weight / power • Weight reduction • Lightweight materials in carbon fiber Aventador LP 700-4: 20% CO2vs previous model
Beyond Italy: Illy, Pirelli, Benetton • Pirelli:Ongoing analysis of the environmental impact of the cinturato P7, product into the plants of Settimo Torinese (Italy) and Campinas (Brazil) • Illy: Ongoing carbon footprint calculation of two coffee boxes (250 and 125 grams) for pods (ESE) and capsules of iperespresso. Planned evaluation of the socio-environmental impact of coffee's plantations in Brazil and in other countries where Illy buys • Benetton: Ongoing carbon footprint calculation of two "child" products (t-shirts and polo shirts) and an energetic efficiency project that will be realized in the factory of Monastir (Tunisia), in cooperation with the project "Prosol” supporting the solar thermal trade in Tunisia Rolling resistance Dry braking Noise Mileage Wet braking Handling Pirelli reference Cinturato P7
Model for a sustainable island: Salina – Eolie’s island • Analysis, reduction and neutralization of the environmental impact of the island: • Ongoing Baseline Emission Inventory for the years 2010 – 2011 • Agreement for theCarbon footprint of the island • Pact of Islands (SEAPI) – Leni, Santa Marina Salina, Malfa, Lipari, Lampedusa e Linosa, Favignana, Pantelleria, Ustica Municipalities Malfa Leni Santa Marina
Sustainable Italian wine Factory 1 – Productive cycle • Identification of indicators: the project involves nine Italian companies. A new methodology has been developed and four sustainability indicators have been identified: carbon footprint, water footprint, vineyard agronomic evaluation index and socio-economic index for the landscape • Experimentation: Ongoing the calculation of carbon footprint and water footprint for 5 wineries e 9 wines Product 1 – Emissions for a bottle • Sustainable label: the results will be contained in a certified environmental label, which will be presented at Vinitaly 2013
