Voluntary industrial footprint actions in Italy R. Ianna

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 ClimateEnergy 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

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
carbon footprint survey and social
environmental impacts 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.

Strategy for the environment
in the automotive industry
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
Product efficiency
 Optimum weight / power
 Weight reduction
 Lightweight materials in carbon fiber
Aventador LP 700-4: 20% CO2 vs 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

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


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
