Sustainability Practices
The Group is committed to operating in an environmentally and socially-responsible manner.
As discussed above, the Governance and Sustainability Committee was assigned responsibility for strategic oversight
of sustainability-related issues and reviews the annual Sustainability Report. The GEC defines the strategic approach,
evaluates the congruity of the Sustainability targets with business objectives and is regularly updated on the Group’s
sustainability performance.
The Sustainability Team - with members in Italy, Brazil, China and the U.S. - plays a central role in promoting a culture
of sustainability within the Group and among its various stakeholders. The team facilitates the process of continuous
improvement, contributing to risk management, cost optimization, stakeholder engagement and enhancement of the
Company’s reputation.
The FCA Group has guidelines aimed at ensuring the Group’s activities are conducted in a consistent and responsible
manner. In addition, the Group has also adopted “Sustainability Guidelines for Suppliers,” setting forth expectations for
suppliers and sub-suppliers of the Group worldwide, “Environmental Guidelines,” which provide clear indications on
how to establish and update environmental targets, develop new products and execute daily activities worldwide, and
“Green Logistics Principles” setting forth principles for ensuring respect for the environment in the Group’s logistical
and supply chain operations.
The Group also produces sustainability targets, to drive continuous improvement in the Group’s sustainability
performance. Targets reports on the annual progress of existing and new commitments, as well as actions to be
implemented in order to reach these commitments.
Targets are part of the Sustainability Report, which is prepared on a voluntary basis applying the Global Reporting
Initiative’s G4 guidelines (GRI - G4) - comprehensive approach, taking also into account international Integrated
Reporting Framework principles and contents.
The Company’s sustainability model results in a variety of initiatives related to good corporate governance;
environmentally responsible products, plants and processes; a healthy, safe and inclusive work environment; and
constructive relationships with local communities and business partners, as these are the milestones along the
Group’s path of continual improvement oriented to long-term value creation.
Over the years, the Group has placed particular emphasis on the reduction of polluting emissions, fuel consumption
and greenhouse gas emissions in:
engines, by developing increasingly efficient technologies for conventional engines, expanding the use of alternative
fuels (such as natural gas and biofuels), and developing alternative propulsion systems (such as hybrid or electric
solutions), based on the specific energy needs and fuel availability of the various countries:
production plants, by cutting energy consumption levels and promoting the use of renewable energy;
transport activities, by increasing low-emission transport and involving our employees to reduce their commuting
emissions;
supplier activities, by promoting environmental responsibility and spreading the principles and culture of World
Class Manufacturing; and
eco-responsible driving behavior, by providing dealers and customers with information and training on vehicle use
and maintenance.
