The Group at a Glance
confirm that reducing the environmental impact of
its activities is an integral part of Fiat Group’s overall
business strategy. The CDLI includes companies
from among the largest 100 in the FTSE Italia
All-Share that demonstrate the greatest level of
transparency in their disclosure to stakeholders of
actions and strategies to combat climate change.
The CPLI, on the other hand, includes companies
that have demonstrated the greatest commitment in
reducing carbon emissions.
Also in November, Oekom Research, one of the
world’s leading sustainability rating agencies,
confirmed Fiat S.p.A.’s “Prime” status, which is
awarded to companies that are sustainability leaders
in their sector.
Fiat S.p.A. is also one of an elite group of companies
included in the Advanced Sustainability Performance
Eurozone Index (ASPI Eurozone®), which is
recognized as one of the leading sustainability
indexes. It is used by the growing community of
Socially Responsible Investors (SRIs) to define
sustainable investment universes, benchmark their
investment performance or to create index-linked
products.
Since November 2012, Fiat S.p.A. has also been a member of the Vigeo Europe 120 index, established in collaboration with NYSE
Euronext, which includes companies rated highest in ESG performance based on an analysis of nearly 330 different indicators.
Fiat S.p.A. is also a member of several other major sustainability indexes, including: ECPI Euro Ethical Equity, ECPI EMU Ethical Equity,
FTSE ECPI Italia SRI Benchmark, FTSE ECPI Italia SRI Leaders, Ethibel Excellence Europe, Ethibel Excellence Euro, STOXX® Global
ESG Leaders, STOXX Global ESG Environmental Leaders, STOXX Global ESG Social Leaders, STOXX Global ESG Governance
Leaders, MSCI ACWI Index (formerly Controversial Weapons Index) and related regional indexes.
In recent years, SRIs, who look at financial, social and environmental considerations as part of their investment strategy, have
demonstrated increasing appreciation for the Group’s sustainability achievements. As a consequence, as of November 2012 they held
approximately 6% of Fiat S.p.A.’s free-float shares.
As a result of the increasing integration of sustainability-related issues in the Group’s business model, this year’s Annual Report
includes a more expanded sustainability section. The objective is to further increase the level of information available to stakeholders
and progressively move toward a fully-integrated reporting format.
More detailed information on Fiat Group’s sustainability activities is available in the 2012 Sustainability Report, audited by the
independent certification organization SGS Italia S.p.A.
