Unless otherwise stated, the atmospheric emissions recorded in this Report have been calculated based
on the latest coefficients made available by the GHG Protocol (*) ); emissions in previous years have been
recalculated based on these coefficients in order to allow comparison.

(*) Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), in terms of equivalent CO2 emissions are determined by reference to specific Global
Warming Potential (GWP) parameters for the two gases: the index is based on a relative scale that compares the gas considered with an equal mass of
carbon dioxide with a GWP of 1. The GWP of HCFC used was 1,780 and that of HFC was 1,300. In 2009, however, a single parameter was used without
differentiating between the types of gas dispersed.
(†) In determining the impact of home-work commuting, reference is made to statistical data produced on the company's personnel.
(‡) Air travel emissions were calculated based on the individual journeys actually made and the coefficients suggested by the GHG Protocol depending on
the short or long term duration of each individual journey.

Atmospheric emissions by Telecom Italia S.p.A. are falling significantly in overall terms. The following are
a number of considerations on how individual items contributed to the achievement of the overall result:
• reduction of emissions due to lower consumption by vehicles;
• reduction of equivalent CO2 emissions, relating to the dispersal of HCFC and HFC used in air
conditioning systems, due to the adoption of more meticulous methods for preventing leaks and the
replacement of these gases with lower environmental impact solutions;
(*) Emissions relating to the consumption of electricity purchased in the Italian market have been calculated by using the latest coefficient (2008)
calculated by the GHG Protocol - which considers the national energy mix - equal to 398 grams of CO2/kWh. For Argentina a similar coefficient has
been calculated and published by the Secretaría de Energía de la Nación Argentina. The coefficient is equal to 541 grams of CO2/kWh. For Brazil, the
average coefficient for 2011 has been used, which has been calculated and published by the local Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Innovação. The
coefficient is equal to 29 grams of CO2/kWh .
