CEO LETTER<br />

4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2 0 2 2 FERCAM


The transport and logistics sector is increasingly taking on a strategic role and is moving towards a<br />

transition for the decarbonisation of the area: renewable fuels and alternative technologies play a<br />

fundamental role in this change.<br />

FERCAM’s journey towards zero emissions will require the adoption of a mix of technologies, from<br />

electric to hydrogen and non-fossil fuels of organic origin.<br />

In <strong>2022</strong>, for long distance transport, we invested heavily in BioLng and HVO, also starting experiments<br />

with electric vehicles.<br />

For vehicles with limited daily travel, the BEV has become a viable technology and we have expanded<br />

the fleet of electrified vehicles in distribution and installed systems for refueling electric vehicles at<br />

various branches.<br />

With a view to sustainability along the entire logistics chain, in <strong>2022</strong> we continued the process of<br />

certifying procurement contracts, a voluntary procedure introduced by the Biagi Reform, with the aim<br />

of building and consolidating increasingly stable and long-lasting relationships with qualified suppliers.<br />

In the social sphere, FERCAM ECHO LABS entered into full activity in <strong>2022</strong>, promoting innovation in<br />

the logistics chain with a view to sustainable growth, putting people’s well-being and the careful use<br />

of resources at the center.<br />

The synergy between FERCAM and ECHO LABS will increasingly allow us to strengthen a virtuous<br />

management and organizational model, based on the sharing of skills and resources.<br />

The path started many years ago by FERCAM has led to the achievement of important results in <strong>2022</strong><br />

from both an economic and sustainability point of view. We will not stop here, but we want to continue<br />

on this path with new investments both in terms of innovation and towards people’s well-being.<br />

In particular, in <strong>2022</strong> we intensified the training plan with the aim of strengthening and enhancing the<br />

competence and professionalism of our collaborators, in particular through the “Leadership Excellence<br />

Academy” and “FERCAM Talent Development” projects.<br />

We are pleased to present our <strong>2022</strong> report, whose reporting also included the other Italian companies<br />

in the group.<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

ABOUT FERCAM<br />

SUSTAINABLE, EFFICIENT AND HIGH QUALITY SERVICES<br />

Founded in Bolzano in 1949, FERCAM is today one of the main European logistics<br />

operators: an evolution that started from road and rail full-truck-load transport,<br />

through national and international land shipments, up to air and ocean shipping,<br />

consolidating thanks to the opening of numerous and important logistics centers<br />

which today represent the flagship of our offer.<br />

Through 5 specialized Divisions, the best B2B distribution network in Italy, a<br />

widespread European network and operational headquarters in 19 countries<br />

around the world. We at FERCAM offer a rare combination of skills and reliable and<br />

sustainable solutions, proposing ourselves as a single multi-specialized interlocutor<br />

for high-speed full-truck-load and special transports, distribution services, contract<br />

logistics, air and ocean shipments, removals, logistics for art and fairs.<br />

FERCAM’s objective is the development of high-quality sustainable services<br />

that respond to the requests of all interested parties, in compliance with current<br />

legislation on the environment and safety at work.<br />

In 2021, FERCAM strengthened its commitment to 360° <strong>Sustainability</strong> by<br />

establishing FERCAM Echo Labs, a non-profit social enterprise.<br />

With this initiative FERCAM wants to go beyond business to establish a non-profit<br />

partnership network with the involvement of local territories, aware of the fact that<br />

only the development of collaboration networks can lead to making the necessary<br />

technological and social progress to contribute in relevant way to achieve the SDGs<br />

of the UN 2030 Agenda.<br />

FERCAM is the operational parent company of reference of the FERCAM group.<br />

Starting from the <strong>2022</strong> report, a process has been started to extend the reporting<br />

to the group companies, taking as reference the companies that are included in the<br />

consolidated financial statement.<br />

For <strong>2022</strong>, the Italian companies of the group are included in the reporting and<br />

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS - SDGs<br />

AGENDA 2030 AND OUR OBJECTIVES<br />

At the end of 2015, the UN launched the new Agenda 2030, an action plan to achieve 17 strategic sustainable<br />

development goals (Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs), signed by 193 countries including Italy.<br />

The 17 sustainable development goals are divided into 169 specific targets and take into account the three<br />

dimensions of sustainable development: economic, environmental and social. Every organization is called to<br />

do its part to contribute to the achievement of objectives on a global and local scale.<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

MATERIALITY ANALISYS<br />

APPROACH<br />

FERCAM uses materiality analysis in order to identify and prioritize the issues that are most relevant to the<br />

organization and our stakeholders.<br />

During <strong>2022</strong>, an assessment of the organizational context was carried out in order to identify the positive and<br />

negative impacts of the organization and evaluate the importance of the impacts.<br />

The tool used was the B-Assessment with the support of relevant experts and the involvement of internal<br />

stakeholders.<br />

The point of view of external stakeholders was instead determined through analysis of the sector context,<br />

benchmark analysis, analysis of the mapping of the relevant aspects highlighted in international publications.<br />

The result of the survey was also taken into account, which is carried out every 2 years involving all collaborators<br />

and a significant sample of external stakeholders: the most recent was carried out in 2021 and the next is<br />

scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023.<br />

These themes were taken up internally by the reference group considering the internal and external organizational<br />

context.<br />

Based on the outputs of the context analysis and the survey, the materiality analysis - impact table is presented<br />

below, indicating the type (positive/negative) for each impact.<br />

OUR APPROACH: CLEAN, SMARTER LOGISTICS<br />

In particular, the parent company FERCAM S.p.A., in order to guarantee the sustainability of its processes,<br />

has adopted a management and systemic approach based on the international standard ISO 14001, which is<br />

expressed in particular through the mapping and monitoring of its environmental aspects and impacts .<br />

The monitoring of our environmental indicators represents the input for the annual review (and where necessary<br />

update) of the mapping of our environmental aspects and impacts, in order to re-assess their significance. This<br />

process is implemented as defined in the specific company procedure for the evaluation and significance of<br />

environmental aspects.<br />

This activity is also carried out with the support of BI tools, and through the analysis of such data over time<br />

it allows on the one hand to reduce environmental impacts and the probability of harmful events and on the<br />

other to use resources more efficiently available.<br />

SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION IN TRANSPORT<br />

FERCAM group pays constant attention to the issue of sustainability and innovation in the transport and<br />

logistics sector. This attention translates on the one hand into collaborations with external partners in order<br />

to develop or test innovative solutions and on the other by orienting itself and investing to keep its fleet in line<br />

with the highest industry standards. Starting from 2018, FERCAM began making important investments with<br />

the purchase of an initial fleet of LNG vehicles.<br />

Vehicles powered by liquid natural gas bring significant advantages in terms of sustainability and, in particular:<br />

Particulate<br />

Alongside investments in the purchase of LNG vehicles, FERCAM has launched various projects which can be<br />

grouped as follows:<br />

• BIO – LNG project;<br />

• HVO project;<br />

• Emission Free Delivery Project;<br />

• Pilot projects for new technologies.<br />

These projects are developed in partnership with suppliers or research bodies, aware of the fact that only the<br />

development of collaborative networks can lead to making the necessary technological and social progress to<br />

significantly contribute to the achievement of the SDGs of the UN 2030 Agenda and the European Green Deal.<br />

BIO LNG PROJECT<br />

Since September 2020, FERCAM has taken part in a project relating to the production of BIO LNG: together<br />

with other South Tyrolean companies, FERCAM has signed a corporate participation agreement in BIOGAS<br />

Wipptal .<br />

Biogas Wipptal based in Val di Vizze was established in 2008 by 62 partners with the aim of producing fertilizers<br />

and biogas for electricity, reusing livestock effluents from dairy cattle farms.<br />

Thanks to this new agreement and after appropriate adaptation and reconversion work, Biogas Wipptal will start<br />

the production of Bio LNG for transport (liquid natural gas produced from biomass) at its plant in Val di Vizze .<br />

For FERCAM it represents a global investment in the name of sustainability and in compliance with the principles<br />

of the circular economy which favors production processes with low impact, fairness and high social value.<br />

Production began in <strong>2022</strong> and will enter full swing in 2023.<br />

34 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2 0 2 2 FERCAM


HVO BIOFUEL PROJECT<br />

Tests for the use of alternative fuels continued in <strong>2022</strong>, in particular ENI’s HVO.<br />

HVOlution of ENI is a biofuel produced 100% from renewable raw materials (pursuant to Directive (EU)<br />

2018/2001 “REDII”). The Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil is produced from waste raw materials of biogenic origin<br />

(used edible oils, animal fats, processing waste of vegetable raw materials), not in competition with food or<br />

fodder crops and without palm oil. The use of this biofuel makes it possible to contribute to the containment<br />

of a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions in the transport sector. According to the conventional criterion<br />

of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 “REDII”, the reduction in CO2eq emissions of HVO biofuel along the logisticsproduction<br />

chain in 202 is between 60% and 90%, compared to the reference fossil mix (i.e. 94g CO2eq/MJ),<br />

depending on the raw materials used for its production. The reduction of emissions must be considered along<br />

the entire life cycle, therefore considering that the raw materials used are all of biogenic origin and mainly<br />

derived from waste and processing residues: this is a circular economy applied to the mobility transition.<br />

From 2023, HVO consumption will be promptly reported as a raw material of recycled origin and the reductions<br />

in CO2 emissions obtained thanks to its use will be reported.<br />

EMISSION FREE DELIVERY PROJECT<br />

Rome is the first city in which FERCAM started the EMISSION FREE-DELIVERY pilot project.<br />

The pilot project involves the conversion of the fleet of diesel and LPG vehicles with electric and methane<br />

vehicles. Our transport service providers from the Rome branch join the project for deliveries that arrive in<br />

Rome from national and international territory and are delivered to the area of expertise for the last mile<br />

distribution service from the Rome branch. The charging of the vehicles is carried out at the Rome branch<br />

which is equipped with a photovoltaic system.<br />

The Project was designed with WTW (Well-to-Wheel) logic, i.e. taking into account the entire life cycle of the<br />

vehicle (LCA, Life-Cycle-Assessment) and the methods of production, transport and distribution of fuel and<br />

electricity.<br />

The pilot project, started in the Rome branch, was extended in <strong>2022</strong> to other branches in Italy and will continue<br />

in 2023.<br />

Furthermore, in <strong>2022</strong> to support this project, 9 branches of the network were equipped with local electric<br />

charging systems.<br />

From the 2023 report, monitoring indicators will be made available in relation to this project.<br />

PILOT PROJECTS NEW TECHNOLOGIES<br />

FERCAM has launched several collaborative projects to contribute to the transition towards carbon neutral<br />

solutions, seeking the most appropriate technological and environmental solutions for short-range and<br />

long-range transport.<br />

In particular, the collaboration started in 2021 continues with the agreement with the CNR-ITAE for consultancy<br />

on the design and construction of:<br />

• zero emission vehicles BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) and Hydrogen FCHEV (Fuel Cell Hybdrid Electric Vehicle);<br />

• renewable energy source production plants ;<br />

• storage and distribution of alternative fuels (EE – Green Electricity / H2 – Green Hydrogen).<br />

Among the main steps in <strong>2022</strong> are:<br />

• October <strong>2022</strong>: FERCAM tested the eDAILY, the first fuel cell electric vehicle prototype and presented by<br />

IVECO;<br />

• November <strong>2022</strong>: FERCAM signed the agreement with IVECO with the aim of putting the first Nikola Tre<br />

electric tractor on the road in 2024. FERCAM, GLS, LC3 and SMET will be the four strategic partners to<br />

contribute to the decarbonisation of the sector.<br />

INTERMODALITY<br />

In February 2000 FERCAM was among the founders of Rail Traction Company, the first private railway company<br />

in Italy to operate intermodal freight traffic on the RFI (Italian Railway Network) tracks and is currently a<br />

partner of the leading intermodal companies HUPAC and CEMAT.<br />

Since 2007 it has used a company train with daily departures for Northern Europe: compared to road, rail<br />

transport allows a 15% greater payload capacity and high speed on long routes.<br />

In <strong>2022</strong> FERCAM carried out over 25.000 intermodal transports , with benefits in terms of number of vehicles<br />

circulating on the roads, consumption of energy resources and in particular CO2 emissions: the intermodal<br />

system allows on average a reduction in CO2 emissions of 55% compared to road transport.<br />

23 million kilometers have been traveled with this mode of transport and emissions of over 33.000 tons of<br />

CO2 have been avoided.<br />

SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION IN TRANSPORT<br />

Thanks to its position wthin the ceramic district, the Sassuolo branch supports a portion of the export transport<br />

of ceramics from Sassuolo to Germany/Benelux, and the import of raw materials (clay) from the Frankfurt area<br />

(Germany) to the ceramic producers of Sassuolo.<br />

The traffic managed by the Sassuolo branch is carried out via intermodal transport, 100% import and approximately<br />

50% export: this logistics solution has significant advantages in terms of environmental sustainability.<br />

FACILITIES<br />

FERCAM, with its branches in Italy, occupies a total surface area (internal + external) of over 1.100.000 sqm.<br />

The other group companies included in the reporting perimeter are located at FERCAM sites with the exception of the sites<br />

of the companies STM and Vinelli & Scotto.<br />

Our facility management strategy plays an important role in pursuing our commitment to the rational and efficient use of<br />

natural resources and the mitigation of our impacts.<br />

This strategy applies to both owned and rented structures, and can be traced back to the following intervention guidelines:<br />

1. intelligent technologies (e.g. LED lighting systems with home automation);<br />

2. renewables;<br />

3. plant optimization.<br />

Based on this strategy:<br />

• new branches are equipped with heat pump technology combined with a photovoltaic system and LED lighting<br />

system;<br />

• monitoring and analysis of energy consumption is implemented for each site, ensuring the correct functioning<br />

and setting of the heating and cooling systems. Such monitoring allows us to promptly identify any anomalies in<br />

consumption and to adopt targeted energy efficiency and saving measures.<br />

The consumption of energy resources in the real estate sector is related to:<br />

1.<br />

electricity for office lighting and heating<br />

and lighting for logistics warehouses and<br />

external areas:<br />

kg of carbon dioxide/for one kilowatt hour of electricity – 2020 Ministry of the Environment website data).<br />

LED LIGHTING SYSTEMS:<br />

90% of the branches owned by the group are equipped with LED lighting systems, and it is the aim of carrying out<br />

relamping interventions on the other sites in the coming years in order to reach the 100% objective.<br />

The following map represents the distribution across the territory, considering both owned and leased branches:<br />

• branches with the presence of a photovoltaic system;<br />

• branches with LED lighting system<br />

In addition to reporting the active systems as of 12/31/<strong>2022</strong>, the projects for the year 2023/24 are also reported<br />

PERFORMANCE MONITORING<br />

With a view to monitoring its social and environmental<br />

performance, FERCAM has been a member of Ecovadis<br />

(Supplier <strong>Sustainability</strong> Ratings ) and to Sedex (Supplier<br />

Ethical Data Exchange).<br />

With reference to the Ecovadis platform, FERCAM has<br />

currently reached the Bronze level.<br />

In 2019 we joined the SMETA protocol (Sedex<br />

Members Ethical Trade Audit) and the Ethical Trading<br />

Initiative Base Code (ETI Base Code), an internationally<br />

recognized code of working practice based on the<br />

conventions of the International Labor Organization<br />

(ILO).<br />

In May <strong>2022</strong> at the Bolzano headquarters we supported<br />

the audit by a third party relating to the verification of<br />

the requirements of the SMETA protocol.<br />

SMETA is a social audit procedure, which aims to<br />

evaluate responsible supply chain activities, including<br />

labor rights, health and safety, environment and<br />

business ethics.<br />

FERCAM also receives second-party audits on behalf<br />

of multinational clients on aspects related to service<br />

provision and environmental, ethical and workplace<br />

health and safety aspects.<br />

44 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2 0 2 2 FERCAM


Safety & Quality Assessment For <strong>Sustainability</strong><br />

FERCAM transports dangerous goods thanks to a modern and adequately equipped fleet and constantly trained<br />

personnel.<br />

As required by EC Directive 96/35, FERCAM has appointed its own DGSA (Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor)<br />

consultant, i.e. the professional figures who have the task of promoting actions to facilitate the carrying out of<br />

activities in compliance with the regulations and in conditions optimum safety.<br />

FERCAM staff training is distinguished between:<br />

• non-travelling personal training: internal training provided by the DGSA consultant;<br />

• traveling personnel training: training provided by an external body with a final theoretical exam, upon passing<br />

which the ADR professional training certificate is issued. This certificate must be renewed every 5 years and is<br />

mandatory for driving vehicles transporting dangerous goods under the ADR regime.<br />

FERCAM also requires its transport and handling suppliers to certify the specific training relating respectively<br />

to the transport and handling of dangerous goods and for the management of possible emergencies related<br />

to the same.<br />

With a view to managing its processes, FERCAM has<br />

obtained accreditation for its Bolzano sites since 2005<br />

based on the SQAS (Safety & Quality Assessment for<br />

<strong>Sustainability</strong>) standard, which is renewed every 3<br />

years.<br />

The last audit was carried out in 2020 and achieved a<br />

score of 84% (2017 score: 83%).<br />

The next audit will be in 2023.<br />

SQAS accreditation scheme is developed by CEFIC, the<br />

European Federation of Chemical Industries.<br />

This is a certification requested by many companies<br />

operating in the chemical products sector, as it represents support for companies in the process of selecting<br />

logistics service providers and in defining improvement actions.<br />

SQAS system evaluates the quality, safety and environmental and social performance of logistics service<br />

providers and chemical product distributors through audits carried out by independent assessors using a<br />

standard questionnaire.<br />

FERCAM’s energy consumption is represented by approximately 95% of fuel consumption, as well as the raw<br />

material used for transport, and energy consumption and is related to:<br />

• fleet fuel (diesel, LNG);<br />

• fuel fleet of company vehicles (diesel). To date there are 4 electric cars;<br />

• warehouse and office lighting (electricity produced from renewable sources and purchased from the grid).<br />

The remaining portion is represented by the energy sources used for heating (methane gas).<br />

With reference to the year <strong>2022</strong>, the reduction in electricity consumption is linked to efficiency measures on the plants,<br />

while that linked to diesel consumption is connected to a growing share of LNG vehicles within the fleet.<br />

In order to further reduce the impact in terms of CO2 emissions, projects related to the installation of photovoltaic<br />

systems and LED lighting continued in <strong>2022</strong> as described in the chapter relating to facilities.<br />

Greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions are also related to energy consumption.<br />

With reference to the table below:<br />

• scope 1 emissions are direct emissions, in this specific case those linked to the fuel consumption of the company<br />

fleet, company cars and heating sources (methane, diesel).<br />

The reduction in GHG emissions over the last year benefits in particular from the increase in the LNG fleet;<br />

• scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from energy consumption, in this specific case those linked to the<br />

FERCAM S.p.A. by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano - Water Resources Management Office.<br />

As required by provincial legislation, FERCAM annually sends notification of the withdrawals made to the<br />

Province of Bolzano. In <strong>2022</strong> the quantity of water withdrawn was approximately 650 m3, down compared to<br />

2021.<br />

Estimating that 0,6 m3 of water are used for each wash and considering an average of 250 washes per week,<br />

compared to a requirement of 150 m3 of water per week, only 30 m3 of clean water are used.<br />

CONSIDERING 50 WEEKS OF OPERATION, WE CAN THEREFORE<br />

ESTIMATE A SAVING OF WATER FROM WELLS EQUAL TO 6.000<br />

M3/YEAR.<br />

The purification system serving the washing plant of the Bolzano workshop is a biological washing water<br />

treatment system, which allows the use of chemical products to be eliminated.<br />

The industrial waste water coming from the two washing plants is treated through oil separation systems and<br />

a biological purification plant and subsequently introduced into a storage tank for recirculation with overflow<br />

into the black water sewer.<br />

Maintenance of oil removal systems is carried out in accordance with EN 858-2 by qualified external personnel.<br />

FERCAM also annually carries out analyzes of the quality of waste water, making use of an accredited external<br />

laboratory, in order to guarantee compliance with the emission limits indicated in the authorization. Specifically,<br />

the water coming from the washing plant released into the sewage sewer must comply with the limits set by<br />

Provincial Law 8/2002 - Enclosure E.<br />

With reference to the workshop activity (activity carried out in 2 branches), there is the production, although<br />

limited, of waste related to the specific activities, in particular: iron and steel, oil filters, lead batteries and<br />

end-of-life tyres.<br />

Waste management takes place in compliance with the provisions of national and local legislation, selecting<br />

service providers regularly registered in the environmental management register. With reference to special<br />

waste, FERCAM S.p.A. has equipped itself with waste loading and unloading registers for each site and annually<br />

carries out the annual MUD declaration.<br />

For waste produced by offices, separate collection is promoted and encouraged at all sites.<br />

CONSIDERING THE 3 TYPES OF PACKAGING INDICATED ABOVE,<br />

IN <strong>2022</strong> THERE WILL BE A REDUCTION IN WASTE EQUAL TO 10%<br />

CULTURE OF SUSTAINABILITY & PARTNERSHIP<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES<br />

• Creation for each branch of a company noticeboard on issues related to Quality, Environment and Safety<br />

through which to disseminate good environmental practices, with particular reference to energy consumption<br />

and waste management.<br />

• Through the company newsletter and the company intranet we want to raise awareness among our collaborators<br />

of environmental and sustainability issues and contribute to increasing individual awareness of<br />

the environmental and social impact of their activities.<br />

• Collaboration with the social enterprise FERCAM Echo Labs in order to spread experimental and innovative<br />

practices throughout the territory, for interventions guided by social, ecological and environmental objectives<br />

and in particular, with reference to the theme of recycling, reuse, and the development of a virtuous and circular<br />

economy.<br />

• Involvement of stakeholders through promotion and awareness of suppliers to encourage the adoption of<br />

means of transport with a lower environmental impact (in particular methane vehicles and electric vehicles).<br />

• Stakeholder involvement through FERCAM Blog and social networks.<br />

• Awareness-raising activities towards the use of resources and intensification of the digitalisation of processes.<br />

PARTICIPATIONS IN FAIRS<br />

GREEN LOGISTICS EXPO :<br />

In October <strong>2022</strong>, FERCAM took part in the Padua fair dedicated to sustainability on concepts such as upcycling<br />

and reuse, and then also declining the theme on values of social solidarity aimed at the inclusion and integration<br />

of fragile sections of the population, such as political refugees, asylum seekers and disabled people.<br />

In particular, the exhibition stand was entirely created with reused materials:<br />

• cardboard panels, designer furnishings designed by eco-designers using recycled wood from disposable<br />

pallets, carefully dismantled, unnailed and cleaned;<br />

• islands of greenery, made up of aromatic plants, herbs and flowers which, once the fair ended, populated the<br />

areas dedicated to biodiversity already created in various branches of the company.<br />

During the Green Logistics FERCAM promoted a PANEL entitled “Hydrogen: from research to concrete<br />

application”, in which it participated together with CNR-ITAE, Sapio Group and Iveco, discussing the state of<br />

the art and future developments.<br />

PARTNERSHIP FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORE SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS<br />

Gila Project<br />

The GILA (German, Italian & Latin American consortium for<br />

resource efficient logistics hubs & transport) project aims to<br />

contribute to global efforts aimed at reducing the environmental<br />

impact (in particular the carbon impact) of logistics.<br />

The focus is on logistics sites that play a connecting role within<br />

supply chains and refers to all sites that combine different<br />

transport routes or are the starting or ending point of supply<br />

chains.<br />

To achieve this goal, the project addresses two main research areas:<br />

• best practices and future requirements, services and concepts for sustainable logistics sites within an energyand<br />

resource-efficient transport chain;<br />

• creation of a methodological framework for the detection and monitoring of the environmental performance<br />

of logistics sites.<br />

The Fraunhofer IML (Germany) is the body responsible for project leadership and scientific implementation<br />

of the project.<br />

FERCAM is one of ten international project partners and provides the perspective of a Logistics Service Provider<br />

to discuss research questions and develop applicable solutions and environmental KPIs.<br />

The project started in July 2020 and will be completed by July 2023.<br />

Contract logistics observatory<br />

FERCAM is a partner of the “Gino Marchet” Contract<br />

Logistics Observatory.<br />

The “Gino Marchet” Contract Logistics Observatory<br />

is a working group within the Digital Innovation<br />

Observatories that analyzes the third-party logistics<br />

sector in Italy, making use of the collaboration with<br />

Assologistica and the support of sector specialists.<br />

Alongside analyzes of the evolution of the Italian<br />

market linked to outsourced logistics, the observatory<br />

studies the role of innovation and aims to spread<br />

excellent practices in the sector.<br />

OUR COLLABORATORS<br />

FERCAM 2025 corporate strategy focuses on projects and actions relating to the management and development of human<br />

resources.<br />

In <strong>2022</strong> the projects developed had the following focuses:<br />

• the definition of a new leadership development path (Leadership Excellence Academy);<br />

• managerial skills analysis and development project (Talent Development);<br />

• digitalization and systematization of the process of identifying training needs and providing training.<br />

STAFF SELECTION PROCESS<br />

In the management of human resources, FERCAM considers the process of selecting and integrating personnel<br />

to be crucial and for this reason the activity is carried out by a dedicated internal office, which also includes<br />

collaborators specialized in work psychology.<br />

For each role in the company there is a skills profile (technical and behavioral), which is used during selection<br />

interviews to choose collaborators in line with what is sought.<br />

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT<br />

Human capital management involves the following actions:<br />

• promote involvement and dialogue with collaborators;<br />

• provide the necessary tools to be able to do their job better;<br />

• protect the health and safety of collaborators;<br />

• provide opportunities for training and professional growth;<br />

• communicate company strategies and news.<br />

COLLABORATORS ENGAGEMENT<br />

There are numerous tools and initiatives promoted in order to encourage dialogue and consultation with<br />

collaborators and to disseminate corporate strategy and values. The following are particularly highlighted:<br />

INITIATIVES FOR NEW HIRES<br />

“Onboarding” project: aims to accompany the new hire during the onboarding phase.<br />

Initial training: to be carried out within the first month of hiring with the aim of providing tools and<br />

information for better onboarding in the company.<br />

New WELCOME box (the objects inserted support a circular and sustainable economy) the aim<br />

is to welcome the new collaborator warmly and convey the commitment that FERCAM has for<br />

sustainability initiatives.<br />

Specific introductory training called “SALES” is provided for collaborators who will have commercial<br />

functions.<br />

For the role of transport planner, a pilot introductory training project was included at the Bolzano<br />

branch.<br />

During <strong>2022</strong>, the training process of the “onboarding” project was reviewed and from 2023 will see a new structure<br />

in order to introduce further training content for new hires, including the topic of IT compliance.<br />

INITIATIVES FOR ALL COLLABORATORS<br />

The aim is to encourage aggregation and the active participation of collaborators at individual branch level and between branches.<br />

Personnel News: periodic communication with the aim of informing collaborators.<br />

Initiatives in the branch: initiatives are promoted at the individual branches to encourage mutual<br />

understanding and to spread team spirit (e.g. lunch lottery, branch/area team building, etc.).<br />

the Year of Wellbeing saw three events take place to raise awareness among collaborators regarding<br />

the topic of psychophysical well-being. e.g. posture lessons for correct sitting at the desk.<br />

Overall, over 50% of collaborators participated in the initiatives listed above.<br />

COMPANY EVENTS<br />

To strengthen the spirit of belonging, to share strategies and projects, annual conventions are organized which<br />

involve a different target of collaborators based on their focus.<br />

These Conventions can have a transversal nature and involve top and middle management, or Divisional, i.e.<br />

only the collaborators of a specific Division.<br />

In <strong>2022</strong> we reintroduced in-person events, including in particular:<br />

INFORMATION FOCUS:<br />

• Management Convention (March <strong>2022</strong>);<br />

• Distribution quality event (May <strong>2022</strong>);<br />

• Management Team (September <strong>2022</strong>): sharing of results and alignment on the state of the art of<br />

the projects;<br />

• Kick – off Bocconi project (March <strong>2022</strong>);<br />

• Administrative Conventions (December <strong>2022</strong>).<br />

AGGREGATIVE FOCUS:<br />

• ASM DAY (June <strong>2022</strong>): event dedicated to all branch ASMs (Cargo Safety Officers);<br />

• FERCAM CHAMPIONS LEAGUE (September <strong>2022</strong>): sports tournaments for collaborators.<br />

SOCIAL<br />

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COLLABORATORS<br />

Staff represent a fundamental resource and for this reason training courses play a role of primary importance.<br />

The company has a team dedicated to training, which works in close contact with the staff selection and<br />

placement team.<br />

We adopt dedicated software for Human Capital Management, with the aim of:<br />

• digitize training processes, such as the detection of training needs;<br />

• assign training courses required by law (e.g. safety at work) or by job to individual collaborators;<br />

• monitor the implementation of both mandatory and optional training courses.<br />

Starting from a specific analysis of the company’s training needs, FERCAM has developed and proposed a training<br />

catalog with an offer dedicated to the development of technical, transversal and behavioral skills, as foreseen by our<br />

skills dictionary.<br />

Most of the courses on behavioral skills were designed ad hoc by external trainers and based on the definition that<br />

FERCAM gave to the skill covered by the course.<br />

The training catalog was shared with all collaborators and published in our Learning Management System (LMS). Each<br />

collaborator has the opportunity to choose the courses of interest in agreement with their manager, by registering digitally<br />

through the LMS portal, which provides over 50 training proposals, divided into the following macro areas:<br />

• Onboarding;<br />

• Languages;<br />

• Informatics;<br />

• Leadership;<br />

• Performance;<br />

• performance focus sales;<br />

• technical skills.<br />

LEADERSHIP section present in the <strong>2022</strong> training catalog is particularly relevant .<br />

A new Leadership Academy is foreseen among the HR projects.<br />

SDA Bocconi was chosen as a partner both for its leadership model and for its ability to support FERCAM in all the<br />

countries in which we are present, as it has a consolidated international network of Business Schools with which it shares<br />

learning models.<br />

The Leadership Excellence Academy path, designed with SDA Bocconi, involved a total of 230 managers in Italy for <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

The objective shared with SDA Bocconi is to support each participant, in relation to their role, to be a dare to succeed<br />

leader: a credible, authoritative and inclusive guide for the people with whom they collaborate and for whom they have<br />

responsibility.<br />

The 1st year of the Leadership Excellence Academy project concluded in <strong>2022</strong>, which saw 7 editions of 2 days each take<br />

place, during which participants were asked to train self-leadership skills, team management, negotiation techniques<br />

and change management.<br />

Others relevant non-catalogue training :<br />

• Sales training provided to Transport Planners | objective: develop sales skills;<br />

• Lego serious play provided to the IT department | objective: encourage communication within and between departments,<br />

create a sense of belonging for dispersed departments<br />

FERCAM promotes internal growth, the diversification of professional experiences and the development of<br />

the skills of its employees.<br />

We have defined the FERCAM internal selection methods in a structured way in order to:<br />

• increase employee retention and motivation;<br />

• create effective management of internal selection and role changes.<br />

Changing roles involves a structured process that can be summarized in the following phases:<br />

• definition of the need (replacement, new figure, reorganization of the department, etc.);<br />

• development interview, conducted on the basis of the technical and behavioral skills profile required by the<br />

new role;<br />

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COLLABORATORS<br />

• comparison of the current level with the expected one;<br />

•definition of the development plan, together with the collaborator’s manager (coaching, courses, dedicated<br />

• definition of objectives for the collaborator both on the technical skills and on the behavioral skills that he<br />

must develop, how they are measured and the resources to support them in achieving them;<br />

• organization of follow up meetings to monitor the achievement of the defined objectives.<br />

In <strong>2022</strong> we expanded the range of training proposals: shadowing senior colleagues from the same department<br />

and/or departments in other branches across the country, catalog training courses, individual coaching courses,<br />

training courses dedicated to specific figures (e.g. commercial, Department Managers).<br />

Furthermore, in <strong>2022</strong>, to encourage internal growth, we launched a new initiative called “Internal Job Posting”:<br />

some of the job opportunities in FERCAM were initially open exclusively to employees, notified through an<br />

email reminder that refers to the announcement visible on the Intranet “FERCAM Connect”.<br />

INTERNAL MOBILITY<br />

Compared to the previous year (2021), the number of organizational changes has increased, and this attests<br />

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COLLABORATORS<br />

FERCAM TALENT DEVELOPMENT<br />

The FERCAM TALENT DEVELOPMENT project was started in 2021 and to date around 90 collaborators from<br />

one of the company divisions have been involved.<br />

The project had these objectives:<br />

• analyze for each collaborator the skills required by the role and develop those not in line with the level<br />

expected by FERCAM;<br />

• map growth desires/ambitions, availability for mobility on the national and international territory.<br />

WELL-BEING AND EMPLOYEE INITIATIVES<br />

COMPANY CLIMATE AND COLLABORATION<br />

Since 2011, FERCAM has carried out an analysis of the company climate with the help of its partner Great Place To Work,<br />

which is carried out every 2-3 years.<br />

The aim is to collect precise data on the relationship between collaborators and their managers, on the relationship between<br />

colleagues inside and outside their work group and on the sense of belonging to the company, as well as to define areas for<br />

improvement. The last survey was carried out in 2021, while the next one will be carried out in 2023.<br />

In <strong>2022</strong>, activities were also conducted on some departments/branches whose objective was to improve the well-being of<br />

collaborators.<br />

CORPORATE BENEFITS AND INITIATIVES TO SUPPORT PEOPLE<br />

Various proposals are adopted to promote the well-being of collaborators and improve the quality of life. Of particular<br />

importance are the company agreements for all collaborators, which are collected and made available on an online portal.<br />

Below are the main ones:<br />

Company agreements :<br />

• discounts of various kinds e.g. shops, car parks, rentals;<br />

• travel portal;<br />

• free assistance with your tax return.<br />

Corporate co-financing:<br />

• reimbursement of 50% of the cost incurred for collaborators’ gym membership;<br />

• support given to families during the school closure period, the initiative which provides for the reimbursement of 50%<br />

of the cost incurred up to a maximum of 250 euros for enrolling their children in summer camps.<br />

Health insurance:<br />

in order to guarantee important prevention, health care and welfare services, the introduction of Sanilog: the supplementary<br />

healthcare fund.<br />

Finally, we would like to point out the ONE-OFF contribution given to cover the high bills paid in December <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

ENHANCEMENT OF COLLABORATORS<br />

• the Italian and Group branches that demonstrated the best economic, collaborative and qualitative<br />

performances were rewarded;<br />

• the branches that demonstrated the best performances in the field of Health & Safety were rewarded;<br />

• collaborators with more than 20 years of seniority in the company were rewarded;<br />

• colleagues rewarded for their retirement.<br />

STAR FOR WORK’S MERIT - “National Federation of Labor Masters”<br />

COLLABORATIONS WITH SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES<br />

For several years we have been carrying<br />

out active collaborations with Universities<br />

in Italy, with secondary schools and with<br />

ITSs specializing in Logistics and Transport,<br />

distributed throughout the country which<br />

aim to specialize people interested in the<br />

sector.<br />

In particular, with the ITS of Padua and<br />

Rome and with the high school of Bolzano<br />

we organized workshops which involved<br />

the assignment of projects to students on<br />

sustainable logistics. The projects were<br />

subsequently presented in a plenary session.<br />

We also believe it is important to start<br />

internship courses with students, recent high<br />

school and university graduates in order to<br />

approach, discover and train new talents.<br />

Overall, 64 internships were activated and<br />

carried out in <strong>2022</strong>, of which 36 continued<br />

with hiring.<br />

SOCIAL<br />

HEALTH AND SAFETY IN FERCAM<br />

The company organizational<br />

structure regarding safety requires<br />

that, in accordance with the<br />

organizational model, employers<br />

are identified on the national<br />

territory, who have been appointed<br />

through the minutes of the Board<br />

of Directors.<br />

In turn, the employers, in<br />

compliance with Legislative Decree<br />

81/2008, have appointed the Head<br />

of the Prevention and Protection<br />

Service (RSPP), the Competent Doctor, the Safety Managers, the supervisors and the emergency workers.<br />

Furthermore, they approve the risk assessment documents.<br />

For all companies, a single RSPP has been appointed within the company, which coordinates all activities relating<br />

to the health and safety of the group with the contribution of the RLS and Supervisors in the area.<br />

This also allows for harmonization of procedures and operating instructions at Group level.<br />

It is organized annually the periodic meeting art. 35 Legislative Decree 81/08, with the participation of the<br />

President, CEO, Employers, RSPP, Competent Doctor and RLS.<br />

In each branch there are documents relating to the aspects described above, including risk assessments and<br />

emergency plans.<br />

The activities that FERCAM implements regarding Health and Safety, in addition to those required by law,<br />

include:<br />

• Induction Health and Safety for all new hires;<br />

• Promotion of initiatives aimed at psychophysical well-being, in particular through the HR office;<br />

• Information and awareness programs for employees;<br />

• Inspections and periodic meetings in all branches of the RSPP (Prevention and Protection Service Manager)<br />

together with branch managers, supervisors, RLS and in which the main suppliers also participate;<br />

• Management of branch control sheets by FERCAM managers for monitoring structural/system and behavioral<br />

aspects;<br />

• Health & Safety company noticeboard.<br />

The detection of Near Misses also continues, with the aim of analyzing events that purely by chance did not<br />

cause an injury/accident or even any dangerous conditions/behaviors that could cause them in the future.<br />

To date, Near Miss reporting occurs:<br />

• Paper method (with special containers present at all branches);<br />

• By email or by verbal notification (e.g. in the case of intervention requested in a short time).<br />

74 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2 0 2 2 FERCAM


Following the report you may have:<br />

• Urgent intervention needed;<br />

• Medium/long term action planning;<br />

• No action necessary (you still need to provide feedback and reasons).<br />

In order to guarantee correct behavior in the event of an emergency, the following simulations are carried out<br />

involving both FERCAM staff and supplier staff or external people who may be present:<br />

• Evacuation drills;<br />

• ADR emergency tests with spill management simulation;<br />

• Fire tests, involving the company functions responsible for managing such situations (fire workers);<br />

• Rests relating to the interventions to be carried out in the event of an accident, involving the company functions<br />

responsible for managing such situations (first aid workers).<br />

Exercises linked to other possible emergencies are also carried out (including specific to some sites, e.g. linked<br />

to the presence of nearby Seveso sites).<br />

WORKERS’S SAFETY REPRESENTATIVE (RLS) INVOLVEMENT<br />

As an interface between the employer and the workers, in most branches their own Workers’ Representative<br />

for Safety (RLS) has been elected/appointed.<br />

The task of the RLS is to collect any suggestions or critical issues from the workers and discuss the consequent<br />

actions with the RSPP and the employer.<br />

The RLS, in addition to being involved on the occasion of the Periodic Meeting Art. 35 and in the inspections<br />

carried out by the RSPP, are involved in training courses and dedicated meetings in order to stimulate reporting<br />

and share good practices and to further promote the reporting and management of Near miss.<br />

We want to continue to continuously improve the culture of<br />

Health and Safety at work.<br />

An essential element is to maintain the involvement and active<br />

participation of all the players involved, who daily, with their<br />

virtuous behaviour, contribute decisively to the protection of<br />

Health and Safety within the FERCAM sites.<br />

HEALTH AND SAFETY IN FERCAM<br />

HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND ACCIDENT INDICATORS<br />

FERCAM S.p.A. has implemented and maintains a management system for the health and safety of workers<br />

in the workplace, applying it to all Italian branches and therefore to 100% of its collaborators. To date, 8 of<br />

the most significant sites are certified, and all the activities carried out by FERCAM S.p.A. are included in the<br />

certification perimeter.<br />

The health and safety management system implemented has made it possible to significantly reduce the accident<br />

rates monitored by FERCAM over time:<br />

• severity index (SI) = (days of absence due to injury * 1.000) / hours worked;<br />

• frequency index (FI) = (number of injuries * 1.000.000) / hours worked.<br />

HEALTH AT WORK (HEALTH SURVEILLANCE)<br />

The health surveillance service is provided by an external company and is structured with a national coordinating<br />

doctor and several competent local doctors.<br />

The same company in collaboration with the RSPP has defined a national health protocol which takes into<br />

consideration all the specific activities at risk for the health of all FERCAM staff, in accordance with what is<br />

reported in the branch DVR. In <strong>2022</strong>, the planning of workplace inspections and medical visits was carried out<br />

as per the <strong>2022</strong> health protocol.<br />

The project to analyze the determinants of health continued in <strong>2022</strong>. The initiative took into consideration<br />

drivers, workers and employees.<br />

The actions that were identified based on the latest survey are mainly linked to promoting correct lifestyles<br />

and regular physical activity.<br />

TRAINING<br />

A fundamental role in preventing the risks of<br />

injury is played by training: only by knowing<br />

the risks associated with one’s duties and<br />

one’s obligations regarding health and<br />

safety at work, is it possible for each of us<br />

to consciously make choices that reduce the<br />

risk.<br />

In <strong>2022</strong>, the training activity provided<br />

was mainly related to the training of<br />

State-Regional agreements, forklift drivers, RLS and related updates, supervisors, training managers and<br />

emergency team workers (first aid and firefighting).<br />

In particular, for the state-regional agreement training, following operational needs to access the warehouses,<br />

medium risk integration training courses for FERCAM staff were also organized and delivered between the<br />

end of <strong>2022</strong> and the beginning of 2023.<br />

In <strong>2022</strong>, recent legislative changes were managed (e.g. changes relating to the frequency of firefighting course<br />

updates, which came into force in September <strong>2022</strong>).<br />

A “Safety First” course was also provided in the first half of <strong>2022</strong> by the RSPP for the new Department and<br />

Branch Managers, in order to further increase knowledge and skills for the new role.<br />

• Detection of Near Misses (Near Misses/Dangerous Conditions or Behaviors): new posters were displayed in<br />

the branches and targeted communications and information were sent to collaborators via company channels.<br />

• Annual Award Ceremony: the most virtuous branches in terms of health and safety aspects are rewarded<br />

annually on the basis of indicators that take into account qualitative and dimensional criteria and the improvement<br />

projects adopted.<br />

•Improvement projects for health and safety at work, which involve the involvement of the handling service<br />

provider with the aim of reducing/eliminating accidents and injuries, and are described below:<br />

least 1 project.<br />

World Safety Day was celebrated in April <strong>2022</strong> for the first time. On the occasion of this event, a “Safety Expert<br />

Quiz” was launched, aimed at all FERCAM employees with small prizes awarded subsequently by the Branch<br />

Managers and site RLS.<br />

• FERCAM FUTURE LABS S.r.l.<br />

• VINELLI & SCOTTO S.r.l.<br />

• FERCAM FACTOR S.r.l.<br />

The management of Health and Safety aspects occurs with the same methods already described for FERCAM S.p.A.<br />

in the previous paragraphs.<br />

In particular, the company organizational structure regarding Safety always provides for the identification of the<br />

employer, appointed through the minutes of the Board of Directors, who provides for the relevant necessary<br />

appointments (e.g. RSPP, Competent Doctor, etc.).<br />

Health surveillance is managed by the same external company that manages FERCAM S.p.A., with its own competent<br />

doctors always appointed by the employers.<br />

Training is organized and provided, mainly by state-regional agreement, here too with the same criteria and methods<br />

adopted for FERCAM S.p.A..<br />

The risks associated with the role of employee are the same as those described for FERCAM S.p.A. on page 21.<br />

In the year <strong>2022</strong> there were no reports of occupational diseases or injuries involving direct personnel of these<br />

companies.<br />

• Internal audit of the video surveillance system at FERCAM S.p.A. – Italy.<br />

Starting from 2020, each new FERCAM resource is provided with a training course to be completed within the<br />

first month of hiring as a mandatory onboarding activity.<br />

During the year 2023, 1 audit is scheduled at a foreign FERCAM branch.<br />

There were no complaints about privacy violations or loss of customer data in the <strong>2022</strong> reporting period.<br />

The companies reported in this report fall within the privacy management perimeter similar to FERCAM S.p.A.,<br />

with the exception of the Vinelli & Scotto company which manages its regulatory compliance in compliance<br />

with the GDPR regulation independently with an external consultant.<br />

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT<br />

With reference to Italian suppliers, given the capillarity that characterizes the company’s operations<br />

throughout the national territory, the supply chain is equally distributed throughout the country.<br />

By “local” we mean the Italian territory, as the scope of the report is the companies of the FERCAM Group<br />

present on the national territory.<br />

In relation to the group’s new sustainability strategy, a mapping of suppliers will be carried out during<br />

a project dedicated to evaluating their sustainability criteria.<br />

COMPETITION FOR DRAWINGS ON VEHICLES<br />

FERCAM vehicles are also characterized by the drawings on its semi-trailers: on average every 3-4 years we<br />

promote thematic company competitions involving collaborators, schools and communities.<br />

The latest competition (“BIO Design Contest”), closed in February 2021, was open to all children and grandchildren<br />

of FERCAM Group employees aged 4 to 15, and to pupils from two primary schools in the area, in Prato and<br />

Campo di Trens.<br />

Participants were invited to unleash their imagination inspired by the theme “Biogas: ecological fuel for the<br />

truck of the future”, to tell the story of the production of BioLNG starting from farm waste.<br />

In particular, to compose their work, the children were asked to also use recycled materials, such as paper and<br />

cardboard, packaging or natural materials, composing a collage that could be completed with classic drawing<br />

techniques.<br />

In this way we wanted to contribute to raising awareness among young generations of the importance of reuse<br />

by demonstrating how it is possible to obtain something very precious from waste.<br />

We received a total of 240 works from our little artists!<br />

FERCAM: STRATEGY 2025<br />

The FERCAM2025 Strategy is based on the motto “simple is difficult”:<br />

Getting to the essentials requires a lot of effort, but it is imperative to be able to dominate the complexity that<br />

surrounds us, identifying what really matters, what is worth investing our energy in.<br />

We at FERCAM want to consolidate our successes and<br />

continue to grow, bringing our company together to<br />

great results, of which we can all be proud.<br />

The path of the FERCAM 2025 strategic plan involved<br />

over 40 collaborators in 29 workshop sessions, and<br />

led to the definition of both transversal and specific<br />

strategic objectives and priorities for the individual<br />

Divisions.<br />

One of the relevant themes that emerged within<br />

the divisional specialist teams is that relating to<br />

sustainability in its three dimensions: Economic,<br />

Environmental and Social.<br />

TOWARDS A NEW SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY<br />

A strategic project in the field of sustainability was launched in <strong>2022</strong>, the outputs of which will represent inputs<br />

for the review of the company strategy which will be carried out in 2023.<br />

These projects include, in the short term, the integration of the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance)<br />

strategy within the multi-year business plan and the implementation of an ESG plan with operational objectives<br />

and measurement indicators consistent with our governance model .<br />

In particular, in the last quarter of <strong>2022</strong>, the project called “SUSTAINABILITY PATHWAY” was launched with<br />

the aim of building a sustainability strategy to improve the environmental and social impact profile, considering<br />

the main sustainability objectives of the Group.<br />

For the governance of these projects, a <strong>Sustainability</strong> Committee was created in <strong>2022</strong> composed of:<br />

• CEO;<br />

• HR Director;<br />

• Quality, Environment and CSR – Head of Department;<br />

• Innovation Manager;<br />

• Regional Manager Lazio.<br />

This body has the task of governing sustainability projects in order to:<br />

• have an updated picture of the context in which the organization operates;<br />

• evaluate the positive and negative impacts of business processes;<br />

• implement projects to mitigate negative impacts;<br />

• monitor and define KPIs;<br />

• direct comparison with the Codir in order to ensure that the sustainability strategy is constantly integrated<br />

into the company strategy.<br />

OUR VALUES<br />

They are 4 simple principles, but full of meaning and<br />

expectation.<br />

They are the Values on which our common culture<br />

is based, which direct our choices and our behavior<br />

in our Company.<br />

They are the premise on which, year after year, by<br />

overcoming every challenge that arises, we are<br />

building together FERCAM’s success.<br />

DETERMINATION<br />

We at FERCAM... have a great ambition to meet the<br />

challenges we have set ourselves. Commitment and<br />

initiative are our hallmarks. We always give our best,<br />

are very motivated and face the obstacles because<br />

we recognize opportunities beyond the effort. ​<br />

We support each other and work as a team. We set<br />

ourselves challenging goals, share the reasons with<br />

the team and take responsibility for the results.<br />

ACCOUNTABILITY<br />

For Us at FERCAM... accountability is everything.<br />

Without accountability, every process, project or<br />

relationship (promise) does not work. Therefore,<br />

when we take care of the requirements expressed<br />

by our managers, customers, colleagues, suppliers<br />

or partners, we keep to the agreement and carry<br />

out the necessary activities in an proactive way to<br />

achieve the expected result.<br />

not making distinctions (gender, ethnicity, religion,<br />

political affiliation) and not making unjustified<br />

favoritism. We respect the rules of operation, roles<br />

and corporate responsibilities. We earn the esteem<br />

of our colleagues through commitment and results<br />

every single day.<br />

We evaluate a process or result positively or not<br />

positively, but we do not judge anyone’s character,<br />

beliefs or values. We know how to recognize the<br />

contribution of each individual by saying thank<br />

you or by giving tranS.p.A.rent and timely feedback<br />

which helps to provide positive growth momentum.<br />

ENTHUSIASM<br />

We at FERCAM... are positive people. Our actions<br />

are characterized by passion and dedication,<br />

trying to drag and involve those who relate with<br />

us. Getting out of the comfort zone is for us a way<br />

to overcome our limits and we are happy when we<br />

have the opportunity to learn from both mistakes<br />

and successes in order to always improve ourselves.<br />

We are always looking for new ways and new<br />

solutions to reach and exceed our objectives. We<br />

embrace change while supporting employees in<br />

developing their talents and overcoming difficulties.<br />

We know how to give guidance and orientation<br />

when our employees need us (for example in the<br />

jungle of priorities). We support them and give them<br />

confidence especially in the most difficult moments<br />

so that they too can be reliable.<br />

RESPECT<br />

For Us at FERCAM... respect is the key to good<br />

collaboration. We show respect not only by always<br />

greeting and thanking our colleagues, but above all by<br />

COMPLIANCE & BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT<br />

231/01 ORGANIZATIONAL MODEL<br />

In compliance with Legislative Decree 231/2001, FERCAM S.p.A. has adopted the Organizational Management<br />

and Control Model, which is aimed at all subjects who operate within the Company as directors, managers,<br />

employees and collaborators, even occasional or temporary.<br />

The main purpose of the Model is to prevent the commission of crimes in the interest of the company or which<br />

may generate an advantage for the latter, for which, alongside the criminal liability of the natural person<br />

responsible, an autonomous liability of the Company emerges or may emerge.<br />

The rationale of the decree is therefore to encourage companies to adopt the culture of legality as a corporate<br />

asset, and to create internal procedures and policies suitable for identifying and preventing the commission<br />

of crimes.<br />

For this purpose, between the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021, the process of updating the Model was<br />

started, through a new risk assessment for each company process, defining the potential related crimes and<br />

the preventive measures already in place/to be adopt in order to eliminate the risk.<br />

On 1 March <strong>2022</strong>, the CDA of FERCAM S.p.A. therefore approved the new Organisation, Management and<br />

Control Model (MOG) pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 and subsequent amendments , which updated<br />

and integrated the previously existing MOG.<br />

The approval of the new MOG was publicized among employees via an article published on the company Intranet<br />

(S.p.A.ce where it is also possible to access the MOG, Ethical Code and related attachments) and by posting the<br />

same article (also translated into German) on the notice board at the Bolzano branch.<br />

In the “Special Part” of the Model, which has among its purposes that of illustrating the types of predicate crimes<br />

for the crime families for which there is an appreciable risk and their relevance, the crimes are treated by category<br />

(identified in particular on the basis of the norm of the Decree that introduced them as a predicate crime), in<br />

reference to which the assessments are carried out<br />

and procedures and safeguards indicated. Within the<br />

category, the greater or lesser relevance of the cases<br />

is highlighted in the “Relevance of crimes and their<br />

risk” section.<br />

By virtue of the precautionary principle, the “Special<br />

Part” of the updated Model is focused on the analysis<br />

of the following crime families: Crimes in relations with<br />

the Public Administration; IT crimes and illicit data<br />

processing; Organized crime crimes; Crimes relating<br />

to counterfeiting of coins, public credit cards, revenue<br />

stamps and identification instruments or signs; Crimes<br />

against industry and commerce; Corporate crimes;<br />

Crimes against the individual personality; Crimes of<br />

manslaughter and serious or very serious negligent<br />

injury, committed in violation of the regulations on<br />

the protection of health and safety at work; Crimes<br />

of receiving, laundering and using money, goods or<br />

benefits of illicit origin; Crimes relating to copyright<br />

infringement; Crime of inducing people not to make<br />

statements or to make false statements to the judicial authorities; Environmental Crimes; Employment of<br />

third-country nationals whose residence is illegal; Tax crimes.<br />

The MOG of FERCAM S.p.A., as well as the Ethical Code, the procedure and the Whistleblowing platform are<br />

also accessible to third parties from the company website at the link https://www.fercam.com/it-it/company/<br />

chi-siamo/codice-ethical-149.html. The Ethical Code and the Whistleblowing platform are also available in<br />

English.<br />

The Supervisory Body meets at least every four months and manages a dedicated email to which it is possible<br />

to send reports, as well as being the recipient of reports received via the Whistleblowing platform .<br />

The Company has in fact equipped itself with a Whistleblowing platform, which will allow the transmission of<br />

reports (even anonymous) to the FERCAM S.p.A. Supervisory Body, in compliance with law 179/2017 which<br />

extended the regulation on so-called Whistleblowing to the private sector, ensuring the employee reporting<br />

the protection of confidentiality regarding the identity of his person and the content of the reports made.<br />

The Company therefore makes the following channels available to whistleblowers, in order to facilitate the<br />

reporting system and at the same time protect the confidentiality of the people involved and interested:<br />

- a mailbox at the company headquarters dedicated to communications and reports to the SB in a sealed envelope;<br />

- the email address odv@fercam.com (accessible exclusively to the SB);<br />

- the “ Whistleblowing ” platform.<br />

The implementation of a course by an external consultant is planned for 2023, aimed at raising awareness<br />

among DG managers on the issues referred to in Legislative Decree 231/2001.<br />

For the same year, the implementation of a quiz relating to the Ethical Code is also planned for all employees,<br />

including those of other companies in the FERCAM group, with the aim of further stimulating curiosity towards<br />

this area and learning the content of this important document.<br />

In 2023, a short training on the Ethical Code will also be activated for new hires of FERCAM S.p.A., through<br />

the intervention of the Compliance Office during the virtual on-boarding meetings “We get to know FERCAM<br />

through our Intranet”.<br />

Although the MOG and the Whistleblowing Platform are in fact specific to FERCAM S.p.A., all companies<br />

belonging to the FERCAM Group are required to fully adhere to the Ethical Code.<br />

104 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2 0 2 2 FERCAM


ANTI-CORRUPTION<br />

Within the Special Part of the MOG of FERCAM S.p.A., various crimes of corruption are dealt with within the family<br />

“Crimes committed in relations with the Public Administration”, which constitute hypotheses of crime with necessary<br />

complicity to the extent that they imply an agreement between the corrupt person (public official or, according to art.<br />

320 of the criminal code, the person in charge of a public service) and the corruptor, who operate on an equal footing.<br />

The penal code and thus Legislative Decree 231/2001 assign relevance to several corruption hypotheses, sanctioning<br />

proper and improper corruption, prior and subsequent corruption, attempted corruption and incitement, and finally<br />

corruption that insists on judicial documents. Within the MOG, the areas involved in the activities exposed to risk<br />

have been identified, the activities at risk have been identified and the principles of behavior aimed at preventing the<br />

commission of crimes have been illustrated.<br />

Within the “Corporate crimes” family, the “proper” crimes of corruption between private individuals and incitement<br />

to corruption between private individuals were also analyzed.<br />

In order to highlight further anti-corruption measures, the Ethical Code specifies that donations or other acts of<br />

generosity are permitted only in favor of associations and bodies with the exclusive purpose of charity and/or social<br />

promotion. Gifts and gifts according to commercial customs are permitted, provided they are of modest value.<br />

There is also a plan to develop an “Anti- Bribery” policy by 2025.<br />

During the three-year period reported, no cases of corruption occurred, to the best of our reasonable knowledge.<br />

WHITE LIST<br />

Pursuant to Law 190/2012, contracting authorities, before signing, authorizing a contract or subcontract,<br />

of any amount, relating to the activities listed in the art. 1, paragraph 53 of the aforementioned Law, must<br />

acquire anti-mafia communication and information by consulting the White Lists. This is a list of suppliers<br />

and providers of services and executors of work not subject to attempted mafia infiltration, operating in the<br />

sectors most exposed to risks. This list is kept at the competent offices of the Prefectures - territorial offices<br />

of the Government.<br />

FERCAM S.p.A. has been registered in the so-called “White List” since 2015 at the Government Commissariat<br />

of the Province of Bolzano.<br />

BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT<br />

In <strong>2022</strong>, FERCAM continued the project in the field of Business Continuity Management, i.e. the definition of<br />

a reaction strategy to be adopted by the company in the event of a critical event occurring.<br />

The main objectives are:<br />

• increase the resilience and responsiveness of the organization so as to protect the interests of stakeholders;<br />

• give evidence of the ability to continue carrying out your business even in the face of potential adverse events.<br />

GOVERNANCE<br />

QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY OF THE PROCESSES<br />

Quality is monitored and pursued during all internal company processes, going beyond the focus on the activity<br />

of the individual office, in favor of an increasingly holistic vision, aimed at continuous improvement.<br />

To achieve maximum quality, the decisive role is played by all collaborators, competent and specialized in the<br />

various operational areas. Particular attention is dedicated to the Customer Service, a team of dedicated and<br />

qualified internal FERCAM staff, who follows the customer from the first commercial contact to the delivery<br />

of the goods.<br />

In order to monitor customers’ perception of the quality of the service and company performance, we periodically<br />

carry out a survey through an external consultancy company specialized in market research, so as to be able to<br />

guarantee a third-party evaluation of the survey results.<br />

Our company policy with reference to Quality includes the following commitments:<br />

Recognize the customer’s needs<br />

and inform throughout the<br />

entire process of carrying out<br />

the service.<br />

Inform stakeholders about our<br />

performance.<br />

Measure, evaluate and control<br />

qualitative performances to<br />

seek constant improvement of<br />

the service.<br />

Adopt information and security<br />

systems that guarantee the<br />

safety and integrity of the goods<br />

during all phases of transport<br />

and storage.<br />

Provide adequate training and<br />

information to its collaborators<br />

in relation to the activities<br />

carried out.<br />

Involve company functions<br />

at different levels and define<br />

measurable objectives.<br />

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM<br />

The parent company FERCAM S.p.A. has established, implemented and keeps updated its integrated Quality,<br />

Environment and Safety management system: it takes into account social, environmental and economic aspects,<br />

in order to manage company processes with a view to effectiveness and efficiency and optimize energy and raw<br />

material consumption, promoting waste management aimed at their reduction and reuse.<br />

The adoption of a Quality, Environment and Safety management system has the aim of providing the company<br />

with a structured process management and monitoring system oriented towards the continuous improvement<br />

of performance from a Quality, Environment and Safety point of view.<br />

In line with these objectives, and given that the Quality, Environment and Safety management system is applied<br />

to all branches, the choice of sites certified by a third party was guided by the following factors:<br />

• process control, environmental aspects, risks related to health and safety at work;<br />

• significance of the sites.<br />

Furthermore, thanks to the AEO-F certification, FERCAM S.p.A. is recognized as a RELIABLE and SAFE partner<br />

in the entire international logistics chain, offering quality services and managing the supply customs chain in<br />

complete safety. In fact, the prerequisites for obtaining and maintaining this certification are compliance with<br />

certain standards regarding financial solidity, seriousness of the requesting legal entity, efficiency and proven<br />

competence in the management of goods under customs restrictions.<br />

INTERNAL AUDIT<br />

FERCAM S.p.A. annually plans internal audits in all its branches in order to:<br />

• verify effectiveness (doing the right things) and efficiency (doing the right things by<br />

optimizing resources) of the processes;<br />

• monitor compliance with international reference standards;<br />

• monitor compliance with company procedures;<br />

• monitor developments and seize opportunities for continuous improvement;<br />

• verify the correct management of reports from customers and, in general, stakeholders;<br />

• adopt the necessary corrective actions upon detection of non-compliance.<br />

Internal audits are carried out by qualified FERCAM personnel.<br />

The audits are carried out both as documentary audits and in-field audits.<br />

In <strong>2022</strong>, 20 internal audits were carried out.<br />

GOVERNANCE<br />

TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION<br />

THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE<br />

Highly reliable and fast geographical data networks are a fundamental component in the provision of all services,<br />

as they allow the exchange of data between the operational structures of the FERCAM network, as well as<br />

between FERCAM and its Customers and Partners, to be made safe and equally reliable.<br />

For greater security and governance of the service, the management of infrastructures, not just network ones,<br />

has always been centralized at the Bolzano headquarters and followed by highly qualified internal staff.<br />

Collaboration, both internally and externally, makes use of equipped meeting rooms (available in the main<br />

branches) and an individual web conference system that allows all people, from any workstation (PC, smartphone,<br />

tablet...) to hold virtual meetings both with colleagues and outside the company. A real technological innovation,<br />

which facilitates communication, beyond geographical distances, and which will contribute to improving the<br />

quality of life.<br />

Documentation digitalisation projects continue which on the one hand allows us to reduce the environmental<br />

impacts of the activities and on the other has represented an advantage in terms of flexibility: fewer manual<br />

operations also means savings in terms of time, with immediate advantages on the organization of team activities.<br />

CYBERSECURITY AND SUSTAINABILITY<br />

In the current global landscape, Cybersecurity has established itself as a top priority for international companies.<br />

Imagine corporate organizations where “digital doors” are constantly under assault from unscrupulous<br />

individuals, eager to exploit any crack or weak point, to access sensitive data. Just as a strong security door<br />

protects our home, Cybersecurity serves to create a robust defense against cyber dangers.<br />

At the heart of this challenge is the breadth of valuable information that international companies process, store<br />

and exchange with customers and suppliers on a daily basis. We talk about financial data, business strategies,<br />

personal customer information and much more. This data is the beating heart of the company’s activity and<br />

their protection is vital and it is no coincidence that they are defined as part of the company assets.<br />

A company that suffers a breach can face devastating financial consequences, loss of customer trust and damage<br />

to its reputation. Cybersecurity acts like a shield, defending these digital treasures from cyber predators trying<br />

to steal them.<br />

Furthermore, in the context of an increasingly connected world, companies are also faced with a tangled<br />

labyrinth of data privacy regulations. GDPR in Europe is just one example of how companies must adhere to strict<br />

regulations. A well-structured cybersecurity system not only protects data, but also ensures that companies<br />

comply with regulations, thus avoiding financial and legal sanctions that could threaten their very existence.<br />

Cybersecurity is not a goal to be achieved once and for all, but a continuous commitment. Cyber threats are<br />

constantly evolving and businesses must adapt.<br />

In FERCAM, in addition to the huge constant investments in strictly technological terms in order to guarantee<br />

114 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2 0 2 2 FERCAM


usiness continuity, not least the creation of two data centers 50km away from each other and interconnected<br />

at very high speed, for over three years we have introduced a “Cyber Awareness” program with the precise<br />

objective of massively promoting a culture and awareness in the field of Cybersecurity. This obviously requires<br />

constant financial and human resources. <strong>Sustainability</strong> in this context means not only protecting the company<br />

today, but above all ensuring that it is able to do so tomorrow and in the coming years.<br />

GOVERNANCE<br />

PARTICIPATION IN ASSOCIATIONS<br />

FERCAM joins ANITA, the Confindustria Association which represents road haulage and logistics companies<br />

operating in Italy and Europe.<br />

ANITA was founded in 1944 and is the trade association that supports the entrepreneurial, cultural and<br />

competitive growth of Italian transport companies.<br />

It supports companies’ growth policies in harmony with the objectives of greater efficiency combined with<br />

respect for the environment, legality and safety, encouraging the development of intermodal transport.<br />

The Association promotes the harmonization of the regulations of European States to ensure fair and equal<br />

competitive conditions for all operators in the Union.<br />

FERCAM also belongs to the following associations: Assoimprenditori Alto Adige, IATA, Assologistica, IELA,<br />

IAM, FIDI.<br />

The awareness of the importance of cooperating with other companies in the freight<br />

transport and logistics sector to develop and support sustainable growth is also attested<br />

by the desire to make one’s contribution within the association.<br />

With this in mind, in <strong>2022</strong> our President Thomas Baumgartner is busy with the following<br />

roles:<br />

• President of the Anita trade association;<br />

• Member of the Chamber Council of the Chamber of Commerce of Bolzano representing<br />

transport and shipping;<br />

• President of the Transport of people, goods and logistics section of Assoimprenditori<br />

Assurance Statement addressed to Fercam S.p.A stakeholders<br />

1. INTRODUCTION<br />

Bureau Veritas Italia S.p.A. ("Bureau Veritas") has been commissioned by Fercam S.p.A. to<br />

conduct an independent audit (assurance) of its <strong>2022</strong> <strong>Sustainability</strong> <strong>Report</strong>, with the aim of<br />

providing conclusions on:<br />

• Accuracy and quality of the information made public about its sustainability performance;<br />

• Degree of adherence to the reporting principles of the Global <strong>Report</strong>ing Initiative<br />

according to the application level "with reference to GRI Standards" provided by the 2021<br />

version of the GRI Universal Standards.<br />

2. RESPONSIBILITY, METHODOLOGY AND LIMITATIONS<br />

Fercam S.p.A. alone had the responsibility of collecting, analyzing, consolidating and<br />

presenting information and data included in its <strong>Report</strong>. Bureau Veritas responsibility has<br />

been to perform an independent assurance against defined objectives and to formulate the<br />

conclusions reported in this Statement.<br />

The assurance performed has been a Limited Assurance in accordance to ISAE 3000<br />

standard, through sample application of audit techniques, including:<br />

• review of Fercam’s policy, mission, values, commitments;<br />

• review of records, data, procedures and information-gathering systems;<br />

• interviews to members of the working group responsible for drafting the <strong>Report</strong>;<br />

• interviews to company representatives from various functions and levels, including top<br />

management;<br />

• overall verification of information and general content of the <strong>2022</strong> <strong>Sustainability</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

Fercam S.p.A .<br />

The verification activities were conducted at the company’s headquarters in Via Curie 2 –<br />

Bolzano and partly for specific company needs in remote mode, we believe we have<br />

obtained sufficient and adequate evidence to support our conclusion.<br />

The assurance has covered the whole <strong>2022</strong> <strong>Sustainability</strong> <strong>Report</strong> Fercam S.p.A, with the<br />

following limitations: for economic and financial information, Bureau Veritas only verified<br />

their consistency with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Fercam Holding Group and<br />

the revenues generated only by parent company Fercam S.p.A.; for activities outside the<br />

reference period (1 January <strong>2022</strong> – 31 December <strong>2022</strong>) and for statements of policy, intent<br />

and objective, Bureau Veritas verified their consistency with the reference methodological<br />

assumptions.<br />

It should be noted that in this <strong>Sustainability</strong> <strong>Report</strong>, in addition to Fercam S.p.A., the<br />

following Italian subsidiaries belonging to the Group have been included in the scope:<br />

• A CLASS WORLDWIDE<br />

• FERCAM REAL<br />

• STM SRL<br />

• FERCAM FUTURE LABS SRL<br />

• VINELLI AND SCOTTO SRL<br />

• FERCAM FACTOR<br />

3. CONCLUSIONS<br />

Following the assurance activities described above, nothing has come to our attention to<br />

indicate that information and data in the <strong>Report</strong> are inaccurate, incorrect or unreliable. In our<br />

opinion, the <strong>Report</strong> provides a trustworthy representation of Fercam S.p.A. activities<br />

conducted by during the year <strong>2022</strong> and of main results achieved. Information is reported<br />

generally in a clear, comprehensible and balanced manner. In the illustration of activities<br />

and results, in particular, Fercam S.p.A. has paid attention to adopt a neutral language,<br />

avoiding as far as possible the self-referentiality.<br />

Regarding the reporting principles, in our opinion the principles of quality assurance - such<br />

as: Balance, Clarity, Accuracy, Timeliness, Comparability, Completeness, <strong>Sustainability</strong><br />

Context and Verifiability - have been observed. It also confirms that the <strong>Report</strong> meets the<br />

GRI requirements for a "With Reference" application level and that our verification activities<br />

also meet the requirements of the assurance standard.<br />

In the <strong>Report</strong>, Fercam S.p.A. reported the material issues identified following an impact<br />

materiality process that clearly explains the issues identified and considered relevant.<br />

Fercam’s impact materiality is based on a process of identifying risks and main impacts<br />

resulting from internal stakeholders engagement to determine its significance. For the future,<br />

it is recommended to Fercam S.p.A. the involvement of significant external stakeholders in<br />

the process of determining issues and to report, in relation to the short-term objectives<br />

reported, specific targets and KPIs for the measurement of results. We recommend the<br />

completion of the GRI requirements that have been partially reported for greater<br />

completeness of the document.<br />

4. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, IMPARTIALITY AND<br />

COMPETENCE<br />

Bureau Veritas is an organization specialized in independent activities of verification,<br />

inspection and certification, with over 190 years of history, 82,000 employees and a turnover<br />

of over 5.6 billion Euros (revenues <strong>2022</strong>).<br />

Bureau Veritas applies a Code of Ethics internally and we believe that there is no conflict of<br />

interest between the members of the verification group and Fercam S.p.A..<br />
