In 2014, the Group focused on reporting specific indicators related to certain macro areas: energy and water usage, discharges and waste produced.

One per cent of Campari workers voluntarily participate in the environmental committees at the various production sites. The focus on the 'Environmental' area by Camparistas is a more recent phenomenon than existing 'Health and Safety' activities. The trend has been positive since 2013, with a 68% increase in participation, but this number is expected to rise in future years due in part to the EcoCampari project, the goal of which is to engage and raise the awareness of employees in the environmental area.

Energy

In 2014 the company consumed a total of 3,447,430 GJ (Giga Joules). This number is not comparable to the 2013 figure following the inclusion of Jamaica in the scope of reporting; the latter country is the site of two distilleries and a sugar factory which are known for their high energy consumption. Thus, 93% of the Group's energy consumption is concentrated at sites with distilling and sugar production operations.

Total energy consumption can also be expressed as the quantity of energy used, equivalent to 5.52 MJ (megajoules) per litre produced. Energy indicators for 2014 are higher than in 2013 due to the above-mentioned change in the sites included in the scope of the report and the consolidation of energy-intensive activities such as distillation and sugar production. On the other hand, in 2014, energy consumption for the production of spirits alone, excluding distillate products, was 0.4 MJ per bottle produced, which was down by 1% from 2013 following a previous reduction of 4% in 2013 from 2012. The comparison highlights the significant energy optimisation initiated in recent years, which will be a part of the environmental goals of the Group's individual production plants in future years.

In 2014, production plants took several steps that will continue in 2015 and will lead to an improvement in energy performance indices. Projects aimed at reducing energy consumption and improving its efficiency include the following:

 creation of 'Energy' committees with the collaboration of the heads of production areas in order to identify activities, equipment and the operating organisation aimed at reducing and improving energy consumption;

 installation of measuring devices and meters on bottling lines, machines and equipment that use the most energy, in order to identify specific measures to reduce consumption;

 organisational and procedural measuresthat involve employees, starting with the EcoCampari project.

At present, this document does not contain measurements of atmospheric emissions. Gruppo Campari is a member of Spirits Europe, and through this association it participates in the technical committee for the determination of a model to calculate the CO2 emissions for the spirits sector. The application of the model being developed will allow companies in the sector to produce consistent and comparable data in future years.

REPORT ON OPERATIONS 47 Water

Water is one of the resources most used by Gruppo Campari, both as an ingredient, and in production and irrigation. In 2014, the Group used 18,979,000 cubic metres of water, 85% of which was used for irrigation and distillation. In Jamaica, the Group owns 5,000 hectares of sugar cane plantations, the irrigation of which has a significant impact on water consumption. In 2014, the water consumption for plants with a distillery was 22 litres per bottle produced, while for other spirits plants, the figure was 2 litres per bottle produced.

In 2014, 10,116,000 cubic metres of water, equivalent to 53% of the total, came from river water; 7,369,000 cubic metres, or 40% of the water consumed, came from groundwater through wells under licence; and 1,015,000 cubic metres of water, 5% of the total, came from municipal water systems. The remaining 2% of supplies comprise water from lakes and lagoons, and water supplied through tanks.

Source Quantity (m3) Percentage of total

River water 10,116,000 53%

Groundwater through wells under licence 7,369,000 40%

Municipal water 1,015,000 5%

Other sources (lakes, lagoons and supplied water)

479,000 2%

TOTAL 18,979,000

In 2014, the Suape site in Brazil won an environmental sustainability award (IV prêmio de sustentabilidade ambiental) promoted by the State of Pernambuco Federation of Industries, with a project that enables rainwater to be used in cooling processes, and which has led to a saving of 5,420,000 litres in one and a half years. Also worthy of note is the programme launched in the Italian plant of Novi Ligure, in partnership with the University of Genoa. With the same volumes produced, this project enabled the water used in production processes to be reduced by more than 20% (equal to approximately 80,000 cubic metres), while, at the same time, reducing water discharged by more than 20% (equivalent to approximately 65,000 cubic metres).

Water discharge and waste

In 2014, water discharges relating to Campari's production activities totalled 3,627,000 cubic metres, of which 47% is waste water2 from production processes and water used to wash machines and equipment. As the Group wishes to maintain the same discharge differentiation criteria by production plant type as it does for water consumption, an important target is represented by the performance figures of the spirits plants, which in 2014 recorded discharges of 0.7 litres per bottle produced.

The total values of waste water per bottle relating to process water alone for all types of production plant were on average 2.7 litres per bottle produced.

More than 1,200 waste water samples were taken for analysis in both 2013 and 2014, which highlights Campari's focus on this significant environmental aspect. The parameters monitored most frequently include pH, temperature, BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), suspended and dissolved solids, chlorites, nitrates, phosphates, sulphites, the presence of hydrocarbons, pesticides and coliforms.

Waste production is another indicator monitored by the Group, and its management is very important to sustainable development. In 2014, Campari produced 1,110,420 tonnes of special waste, almost all of which (99.6%) was classified as non-hazardous waste. This figure is also not comparable with the data released in 2013, owing to the significant change in the reporting scope.

In volume terms, most waste produced comprises waste from packaging, especially paper and cardboard, plastic and glass. Other waste produced by Campari, albeit comprising a very low percentage of the total, comprises metal material and metal packaging, and wooden pallets.

The figures show that the production of waste is not a significant environmental issue for Campari; the production in 2014 of 0.005 kg of waste per bottle produced has in fact been constant for the last three years. The Group nevertheless pays a great deal of attention to this issue.

Waste water meters are not installed at all production sites, especially as regards white and grey water (rainwater, cooling water, sanitary water collected in the town's supply system, for which it is not possible to make a specific comparison with the figures for previous years.

Campari's objective is to send 100% of recoverable waste for recovery, a target that, to date, has been reached at most production sites. The Group has also implemented specific processes to dispose of certain organic waste. These notably include processes to dispose of bagasse3: the product left over from the operations of the Jamaican sugar refinery is used in its entirety in the cogeneration plant on the same site, making it self-sufficient in terms of energy consumption. The bagasse produced in Mexico as a left-over product from distillation at the Arandas distillery is instead composted through a dedicated process, and the final product is donated to the Local Authority Garden Center as a fertiliser.
