FTSE Indices
Pirelli has been included in the FTSE Global and European
STOXX indices since 2002. FTSE is an independent company,
owned by The Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange.
The FTSE4Good Series indices were created by FTSE to measure
the performance of companies in terms of their observance of
internationally recognised standards of social responsibility, and
to facilitate investment in these companies.
ASPI Index
Pirelli has been included since the beginning of 2005 in the ASPI
EUROZONE ® (Advanced Sustainable Performance Indices) index,
which includes the 120 best-performing companies in terms of sustainability
on the basis of CSR ratings issued by Vigeo, a social and
environmental rating agency. The ASPI survey pool is comprised by
the companies included in the DJ EURO STOXX SM index.
In an important Vigeo assessment, whose results were published
in Italy in September 2008, the Company was recognised as a
leader in its sector for its policies and practises, especially in the
fields of “Human Rights,” “Environment,” and “Customers and
Vendors” (which the Vigeo model considers to be some the areas
with the greatest risks/opportunities), for which Pirelli received
the highest score. Its score for human rights was far higher than
the sector average. Vigeo has also given Pirelli high marks in the
environment category, reflecting the Group’s environmental management
systems. Appreciation was also expressed for the Group’s
equal opportunities and product safety policies and transparency
in regard to Board of Directors compensation.

in corporate social responsibility for a range of companies
selected from those with the highest capitalisation for the S&P
MIB and Eurostoxx60 indices. Pirelli’s current rating is A+++,
which is the highest obtainable in the “ethical class”.
