Italian National Programme for the Environmental Footprint

Program for the environmental footprint of productive systems and models

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.

II stepFollow-up on possible measures for reducing GHG

emissions during the cycle of life of the goods selected

III stepSuggestions on possible measures for neutralizing the

carbon footprint

Case Studies

San Benedetto: The “easy” bottle

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 CO2eqwhich are neutralized

and therefore carbon neutral

• 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.

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

Ateneo Ca’ Foscari: Carbon management di sistemi complessi

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 agreementon 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% CO2 vs previous model

Product efficiency

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

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

Model for a sustainable island: Salina – Eolie’s island

Sustainable Italian wine

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

Sustainable label: the results will be contained in a certified environmental label, which will be presented at Vinitaly 2013

Experimentation: Ongoing the calculation of carbon footprint and water footprint for 5 wineries e 9 wines

Product 1 – Emissions for a bottle
