EXTRAORDINARY SESSION CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT DIRECTORS' REPORT PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
Investments to improve environmental performance
The investments made in 2008 to improve the environmental performance
of Pirelli Tyre S.p.A. factories totalled 3.5 million Euro.
Environmental performance at production sites
As previously mentioned, the specific environmental performance
of tyre and steel cord production activities of Pirelli Tyre
S.p.A. is analysed separately below, being characterised by different
products and, above all, fabrication processes.
Tyres
The following data consolidate the specific environmental performance
of the Pirelli Tyre S.p.A. production units dedicated
to the production of tyres. In line with the sustainability reports
published over the past five years, the following factors and their
environmental indicators are examined:
——
water consumption (expressed in m 3 /tonne of finished product)
——
energy consumption (expressed in GJ/tonne of finished product)
——
solvent consumption (expressed in kg/tonne of finished product)
——
waste production (expressed in kg/tonne of finished product)
and the percentage of recycled waste
——
equivalent emissions of CO 2
and NO X
(expressed in tonnes/
tonne of finished product and kg/tonne of finished product)
As can be seen, most of the reported indicators have shown
a substantial improvement in performance over the past
five years, due to the Company’s eco-sustainable strategy
and commitment.
SUMMARY OF TYRE RESULTS
222 PIRELLI & C. S.p.A. MILAN
2004 2008 Diff. 2008/2004
[%]
Water consumption [m³/tonne FP] 18.56 16.21 -12.7%
Energy consumption [GJ/tonne FP] 12.34 11.21 -9.2%
Solvent consumption [kg/tonne FP] 3.40 3.49 2.6%
Waste [kg/tonne FP] 102.28 102.00 -0.3%
Recycled waste as total of waste [%] 72.20 72.41 0.3%
CO 2
emissions [tonnes/tonne FP] 1.01 0.92 -8.9%
NO X
emissions [kg/tonne FP] 1.88 1.60 -14.9%
Special mention should be made of the following points:
——
Following revision of the method used to account for energy
consumption, energy consumption and carbon dioxide and nitrous
oxide emissions from 2004 to 2007 have been recalculated.
——
Performance in 2008 was impacted by the current economic
crisis and differs significantly from the trend for the last four
years. The energy sector, including atmospheric emissions, was
the most subject to external action since it does not depend in
linear fashion on production. These production totalled about
910,000 tonnes.
