TheA2A Group also distributed value by making purchases which arrived at a total of 687 millioneuro, of which 97% involved Italian suppliers.Excellent results were also achieved at an environmental level, with 36% of energy beingproduced from renewable sources, 99.9% of the urban solid waste collected being recoveredthrough recycling or waste to energy enhancement and the development of urban districtheating networks (with an annual increase of 11% in the volume served in the municipalities ofMilan, Brescia, Bergamo and Varese and significant energy savings and emission reductions).Differentiated collection in Milan, where the A2A Group manages urban hygiene services, roseto reach the 39% mark. In particular, as the result of using more efficient energy technologies(waste to energy, cogeneration, hydroelectric), 1.4 million tonnes of CO2 were saved.The considerable improvement in the professional accident indices is also worth emphasizing;this was achieved as the result of prevention programs which enabled a reduction of 7.7% tobe obtained in the frequency of accidents at work.Finally, 2012 also saw the success of the initiatives carried out together with the Consumers’Associations for spreading a culture of correctness in trading practices, as well asconfirmation of participation in the Global Compact and its universally accepted principles inthe areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
