Interpump Group S.p.A.

Letter to Stakeholders

This third edition of the non-financial statement confirms our deep commitment to building respectful and transparent relations with all stakeholders. A commitment that is by no means new, having always been a hallmark of the Interpump Group.

The majority of our production plants are located in Europe, which is the area of the world with the most advanced laws and highest standards with regard to environmental protection. The number of Group companies with environmental certifications is set to increase.

Considering Water Jetting division, our historical core business, the installation of high pressure plunger pumps to replace alternate technologies generally results in improved environmental and energy-related performance. This is confirmed by a number of examples: energy efficiency is inherently better than that achieved by the more common pumping technologies, resulting in lower CO2 emissions; in cleaning applications, water pressure reduces or eliminates the need for detergents and solvents; in submarine hydraulic circuits, the use of water instead of oil eliminates the environmental risk in the event of leaks; a plunger pump is needed in order to convert large engines (as in ships or power stations) to more environmentally-friendly fuels; with regard to paint stripping (e.g. in shipyards), our water-blasting systems replace sand blasting, which is extremely damaging to the environment. The list could go on and on.

In the Hydraulic division, an increasingly significant part of our production of valves and directional controls is dedicated to innovative, energy saving hydraulic systems; a major recent acquisition is specialized in the mechanical assembly of hoses, which makes welding unnecessary, avoiding the dispersal of chemical substances into the environment.

Turning to the social field a distinguishing characteristic of Interpump, which continues to grow strongly via acquisitions, is the preservation of the identity and history of the businesses purchased: not only in terms of brand, but also with regard to location of production, supply chain, management continuity, size of the workforce and, in general, all those factors that tie a business to its local economy. Not least among the multiple virtuous consequences of this approach, we pay taxes in those countries where wealth is produced.

Following our admission to the STAR segment of the Italian stock exchange, corporate governance has followed the most rigorous guidelines including, among others, the publishing of quarterly reports and adoption of the code of corporate governance. The majority of the members of the Board of Directors are independent.

In addition to strict compliance with all local laws and regulations, a rule that all subsidiaries have always followed, we are now introducing organizational models and codes of conduct with new minimum standards that apply throughout the Group. They must be implemented, even when local regulations are silent or more tolerant: this Global Compliance Program will gradually cover all aspects of sustainability. The section against corruption is already in force and the documents addressing the Environment and Human Rights are currently being implemented.

I have every reason to believe that the growth and development of Interpump Group will continue in accordance with these guidelines, dedicating a constant, and appropriate attention to sustainability-related topics.

The Chairman of Interpump Group S.p.A.

1) The Interpump Group

GRI 102-1; GRI 102-2; GRI 102-3; GRI 102-4; GRI 102-5; GRI 102-6; GRI 102-7; GRI 102-16

The Interpump Group was founded by Fulvio Montipò in 1977 at S. Ilario d'Enza (RE), Italy, where its parent company Interpump Group S.p.A. is still headquartered.

Over the years, production has expanded from the original niche of high and very high-pressure plunger pumps, in which the Group enjoys world leadership, to include flow control components for the food processing/cosmetics/pharmaceuticals industries and a vast range of hydraulic systems and components, as well as flexible rubber hoses and rigid metallic pipes.

The strategy of the Interpump Group is to extend the range of products and the volume of sales even further, also through targeted acquisitions.

With more than 7,000 employees and locations in over 30 countries in Europe, North America, South America, Asia and the Pacific Basin, the Group generated net revenues of Euro 1,369 million in 2019 (including Euro

20.4 million contributed by the Reggiana Riduttori Group, which was acquired in October 2019 and is not included within the scope of this Non-Financial Statement for 2019).

The mission of the Interpump Group is to pursue excellence in its operations through the application of innovation and quality. Innovation is a permanent goal of Interpump collaborators and is the result of constant, scientific, and detailed research carried out into materials, techniques and products with the aid of the most sophisticated and advanced equipment. Quality permeates all activities of the Interpump Group. Quality is founded on the meticulous, methodical and constant control and verification of each step in the production process, from the purchase of raw materials to the finished product. The quality assured by the Interpump Group stems from a widespread shared culture in all Group companies. Products are designed to be efficient, easy and intelligent to use, warranted, capable of satisfying market needs and, where possible, energy efficient, safeguarding both users and the environment.

The entire Group draws inspiration from the principles of impartiality, honesty, propriety, confidentiality, fairness, cohesion, collaboration, teamwork, professional ethics and respect for positive diversity, derived from different cultural and work experiences.

Interpump Group promotes the acquisition, sedimentation, organization and dissemination of know-how. The Code of Ethics adopted by the Group expresses the ethical responsibilities and commitments accepted by the personnel of Interpump Group companies when carrying out their business operations and activities, whether they be directors, employees or those who, even on a de facto basis, manage and control the Company or act in its name and/or on its behalf (hereinafter, also "Collaborators"). Signature of the Code of Ethics or an extract from it or, in any case, compliance with its instructions and principles by the consultants, vendors and all other third parties, including customers, that work with the Company (hereinafter, also "Third Parties") is an essential condition for the completion of contracts of any kind between them and Interpump Group companies; the clauses signed or, in any case, approved by tacit consent or otherwise, are an integral part of such contracts.

Via the Code of Ethics, the Interpump Group also strives to disseminate and consolidate a culture of safety and respect for the environment, without deviating in any way from compliance with local regulations, while also promoting responsible conduct by all Collaborators. The Company also seeks to protect, especially via preventive actions, the health and safety of workers and the interests of other stakeholders.

On the subject of human rights, the Code of Ethics formalized and adopted by all Group collaborators is worded to recognize and respect personal dignity, privacy and the personal rights of each individual. Under this Code, the conduct of collaborators in the performance of their functions must be founded on transparency and moral integrity, having regard for the different social, economic, political and cultural contexts in which they work. The Group guarantees and promotes diversity and respect for gender equality: discrimination of any kind is not tolerated. All Group personnel are hired on a proper employment contract and the working relationship is maintained in full compliance with the national collective employment contract for the sector concerned, tax, social security and insurance regulations, and the instructions governing health, safety and immigration. Unofficial work is not tolerated in any form and respect for human rights is guaranteed, especially via a total ban on child labor and the employment of foreign citizens without proper residence papers. In addition, all personnel must specifically respect individuals, their dignity and their values at all times, avoiding any discrimination based on gender, racial or ethnic origin, nationality, age, political opinions, religious beliefs, state of health, sexual orientation or economic-social status.

Interpump Group S.p.A.

The Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A. is responsible for the strategic leadership of Corporate Social Responsibility matters, while the Committee of Operations Management is responsible for the operational implementation of individual initiatives.

Focus on the Water Jetting and Hydraulic sectors

GRI 102-2

The Water Jetting sector includes companies active in Interpump's traditional core business: the production and sale of plunger pumps rated from 1 to 2000 HP (from 0.7 to 1500 kW), and the related accessory components. The smaller models are primarily used in pressure washers; as the power rating increases, and so does the available pressure, the range of applications is extended to include car washes, atomization, road cleaning and jet rodding of sewers, seawater desalination, descaling of steel; even higher pressures allow the use of the fluid (water or another medium) to bore holes, make cuts, remove paint, deburr metal components and even for demolition works. Lastly, plunger pumps are suitable for use in all industrial processes (chemicals, food processing, cosmetics, manufacturing) that require very high pressures to homogenize or separate foods or compounds, to make chemical reactions possible, to sterilize and for countless other processes. The higher efficiency of plunger technology compared to other types of pump leads to better performance and savings in energy usage; moreover, in many of the applications mentioned water technology brings benefits related to hygiene, the environment, or processing time with respect to the conventionally employed systems.

The following principal brands are used by the Interpump Group for the above applications:

Since 2017 the Water Jetting sector also includes companies engaged in the production of special pumps, mixers, agitators, cleaning systems, valves and tanks for the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries: these products offer physiological commercial synergies and significant technological affinities with the historic core business of plunger pumps. The principal brands used for these applications are:

The Hydraulic sector, inaugurated in 1997, includes companies active in the production and sale of a continually expanding range of hydraulic components: power take-offs (mechanical device connected to the engine or gearbox of an industrial vehicle, to which a pump is coupled to power the hydraulic circuit), gear pumps, cylinders, hydraulic motors, oil tanks, directional controls (the central component that assures constantly correct distribution of oil among all the segments of a complex hydraulic system) and related electronic or mechanical control systems, hydraulic lines (flexible rubber hoses, flexible metal pipes, and rigid pipes), flanges and fittings.

Hydraulic technology is used in almost all mechanized aspects of human activity: in equipped industrial vehicles (dumpers, truck cranes, waste compactors...), in agricultural vehicles, earthmoving machines, forklift trucks and telehandlers with work platforms, as well as in fixed applications including cranes, elevators, in the mining sector, marine sector, industrial automation, and even for funfair rides. Pipes and fittings have an even broader range of application (including a large number of applications in the Water Jetting sector), and some companies in the Group offer complete services of design, construction and maintenance of simple or extremely complex piping systems.

The principal brands belonging to the Hydraulic Sector are presented by product category below:

Interpump Group S.p.A.

The main elements of the Interpump value chain are:

  • vendors, which may be small/medium-size companies or large multinationals. Among the Group's main procurement categories, we list the following, by way of example without limitation: raw materials, components and intermediates, finished products, packaging, work processes (e.g. heat treatments, small metal parts, assembly, surface coating, etc.), utilities, machine manufacturers, services (e.g. transport, consultancy, waste management, etc.).
  • Interpump Group companies that are primarily engaged in production (essentially mechanical production and assembly of components) and/or sales activities.
  • clients, around 26% of which are distributors and dealers, while 74% are OEMs1 and end customers. Overall, the number of customers exceeds 20,000, spread over more than 130 countries. The top customer in terms of sales accounted for about 1.4% of revenues in 2019.

The Interpump Group combines a process of internal growth with an external growth path, resulting in sometimes significant changes in the product mix with, therefore, an impact on the consistency of certain indicators.

The following acquisitions took place during the years analyzed:

  • February 2017, the Inoxpa Group - active in the manufacture and commercialization of process equipment and systems for the treatment of fluids in the food processing, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals industry (contributing about 6% of consolidated revenues);
  • January 2018, the international branches of GS-Hydro - active in the design and installation of and support for piping systems used in weld-free assembles (contributing about 5% of consolidated revenues);
  • October 2019, the Reggiana Riduttori Group (contributing about 6% of consolidated revenues) - not included within the scope of this Statement.

This document is the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement (hereinafter, also NFS) of the Interpump Group (Interpump Group S.p.A. and those subsidiaries consolidated on a line-by-line basis, hereinafter also the Group or "IPG"), prepared pursuant to Decree 254 dated 30 December 2016 (hereinafter, also the "Decree" or "Decree 254/2016") and, as envisaged in the Decree, is a separate document with respect to the Board of Directors' Report. This NFS addresses the material topics envisaged in art. 3 of Decree 254/2016 with reference to the 2019 financial year (from 1 January to 31 December), to the extent necessary in order to provide an understanding of the business, its performance, its results and the social and environmental impact of the Group. The material topics for the Interpump Group and its stakeholders were determined using a process for the analysis of materiality described in the chapter on "Stakeholder engagement and materiality matrix".

This document has been audited by a suitably authorized third-party entity. The audit was performed in compliance with the procedures described in the "Independent Auditors' Report" included at the end of the document.

The Board of Directors of the Interpump Group approved this NFS on 16 March 2020.

2.1 Scope and standard of reporting

This annual NFS relates to 2019, consistent with the reference period for the consolidated financial statements, and includes the companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis for financial reporting purposes (see the IPG corporate structure at 31/12/2019 in section 3), except for the Reggiana Riduttori Group since the acquisition took place in October 2019. It also contains non-financial data for 2018 and 2017 for comparative purposes. To aid understanding of the foregoing comparison, where significant the notes supporting the indicators show the changes in the scope of reporting due to the entities acquired during the three-year period, as well as the impact of exchange-rate fluctuations.

This NFS has been prepared in compliance with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards: Core option, published in 2016 by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Compared with the 2018 Statement, IPG has adopted the updated version of Disclosure GRI 403 (Occupational Health and Safety) issued by the GRI in 2018 and, accordingly, the historical data for 2017 and 2018 has been aligned with the new method of calculation.

The Statement now includes section 3.2 (Analysis of materiality) "Correlation Table with GRI Core indicators", in order to show the coverage of the GRI indicators associated with each topic determined to be material. In addition, each chapter/section makes reference to the indicators addressed.

2.2 Methods of calculation

The main methods of calculation and assumptions made for the non-financial performance indicators reported in this statement are indicated below, in addition to those already described in the text of the NFS (e.g. examples of specific calculation formulas include indicator 401-1 concerning in/out turnover rates, 403-9 concerning rates of injury, 302-3 related to energy intensity, and 306-1 concerning water discharge).

  • Where specific environmental data was unavailable, conservative estimates were made by choosing assumptions for environmental performance that were less favorable for the Company.
  • Greenhouse gas emissions were calculated using the following formula: activity value (m3 of natural gas, kWh of electrical energy, etc.) multiplied by the respective emission factor. Also, losses of refrigerant gas (kg) were considered, multiplied by the respective Global Warming Potential (GWP).
  • The emission factors and GWP values used to calculate the GHG emissions were as follows:
  1. Emissions Scope 1: the emission factors for fuels and the GWP of refrigerant gases were taken from the "UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting - fuel properties"

published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (hereinafter, also "DEFRA") and updated annually.

  1. Emissions Scope 2: the emissions for electricity purchased from the grid were calculated using two methods, as required by the GRI Standards:
    • the Market-based calculation used the residual mix emission factors reported in the following documents: "European residual mix" published by the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB)

11

2019 │ Consolidated non-financial statement

Interpump Group S.p.A.

and "Green-e Energy Residual Mix Emissions Rates" published by the Center for Resource Solutions; for those countries whose residual mix factors were not publicly available from accredited sources at the time of preparing this document, the emission factors applied in the Location-based calculation were used instead.

    • the Location-based calculation used the emission factors reported in the "International Comparisons" document published by Terna.
  • The personnel data (e.g. employment) relates to natural persons (not standardized using FTEs2) at 31/12 in the reporting period.
  • The health and safety indicators were calculated in the manner envisaged by the GRI Standards, using
    200,000 (equivalent to the hours worked each year) as the multiplier, so that:
    o Injury rate: no. of injuries * 200,000 / hours actually worked
    o Injury rate (high-consequenceincidents): no. of high-consequence injuries * 200,000 / hours actually worked
    o Lost days rate (LDR): no. of days lost * 200,000 / theoretical hours worked
    o Occupational disease rate: no. of occupational diseases * 200,000 / hours actually worked

2.3 Corporate Governance

GRI 102-1; GRI 102-3; GRI 102-5; GRI 102-18

The corporate governance model adopted by Interpump Group is based on the Code of Corporate Governance3 promoted by Borsa Italiana.

As indicated in the report on corporate governance and the ownership structure for 2019, which can be consulted on the Group's institutional website in the "Governance" section, to which we invite you to refer for more details, Interpump Group S.p.A. has adopted a traditional form of administration and control:

  • company management is delegated to the Board of Directors (Board);
  • supervisory functions are addressed by the Board of Statutory Auditors;
  • the legal audit of the accounts and accounting checks are performed by the independent auditing firm appointed at the shareholders' meeting;
  • a Supervisory Body is appointed pursuant to Decree 231/2001.

Interpump Group S.p.A. manages and coordinates its Italian subsidiaries pursuant to art. 2497 of the Italian Civil Code, although they retain their legal independence and apply the principles of proper corporate and business management.

The composition of the Board of Interpump Group S.p.A. and, specifically, the information required by art. 104, para. 1, of Decree 254/2016 concerning the gender diversity of the administrative, management and control bodies, are illustrated in the Report on corporate governance and the ownership structure for 2018, in sections 4.2. "Composition of the Board of Directors" and 14.0 "Composition and Operation of the Board of Statutory Auditors".

With regard to gender diversity, the statutory provisions and the matters provided for by art. 147-(3) of Decree 58 dated 24 February 1998 are complied with in full. When the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors are renewed, at the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for 2019, the weighting of the least represented gender will be aligned with the regulations on gender balance in force at that time.

The Board of Directors has established the following Board Committees: the Remuneration Committee, the Control and Risks Committee, the Appointments Committee, and the Related-Party Transactions Committee. As required by the Code of Corporate Governance promoted by Borsa Italiana, at least one member of the Control and Risks Committee and, consequently, of the Board of Directors, has experience in accounting and financial matters or in the area of risk management.

The organizational structure of Interpump Group S.p.A. at 31 December 2019 is illustrated below.

3) Quali-quantitative description of risks and policies for their management

In line with art. 3, paras. 1 and 2, of Decree 254/2016, this NFS includes both descriptive aspects (e.g. policies, risks, governance) and results in terms of performance.

The path implemented by IPG in response to the Decree takes account of the five areas indicated by the legislator:

ENVIRONMENT

HUMAN RIGHTS

SOCIAL

ANTI-

EMPLOYEES

CORRUPTION

This non-financial statement was prepared in the following key stages:

  • mapping the stakeholders of the Group and related prioritization;
  • identification of the material non-financial topics via an analysis of materiality;
  • mapping of the main risks, generated or sustained, that derive from the business activity and from its products, services or commercial relationships, including the chain of supply;
  • identification of the policies practiced, where applicable, and the governance adopted for management of the five topics;
  • definition and implementation of a process (on Group level) of collection, aggregation and transmission of the information required by the essential performance indicators selected based on

the significant themes for IPG and envisaged by the chosen reporting standard.

Even though the analysis conducted is specific in relation to the five topics identified by the legislator, in order to make the text more accessible, it was decided to present the transverse qualitative information first, before the qualitative-quantitative information specific to each topic.

3.2 Materiality analysis

GRI 102-44, GRI 102-46; GRI 102-47; GRI 102-49; GRI 103-1; GRI 103-2

In order to provide an understanding of the activities carried out, the progress made, the results achieved and the resulting impact, the Group performed a materiality analysis in 2019 that identified the economic, environmental and social topics to be included in the NFS. In particular, as envisaged in the GRI Standards, the material topics were selected with reference to their ability to influence significantly the decisions and opinions of stakeholders, as well as to their impact on the Group and its performance.

17

2019 │ Consolidated non-financial statement

Interpump Group S.p.A.

With the involvement of top management, an internal working group carried out the process of defining the material topics, which comprised two distinct phases:

The first involved identifying the universe of non-financialtopics that were potentially significant, by analyzing sources in the following categories:

  • sustainability trends at a global level, i.e. key non-financial aspects considered by the main stock exchanges that have published guidelines for sustainability reporting, by the sustainability rating indices (DJSI, MSCI, etc.), by international organizations (GRI, World Economic Forum, etc.) and by supranational bodies (EU, UN, etc.).
  • sector performance, i.e. non-financial aspects that have emerged as significant for the reference sector of IPG. In particular, the indications present on the Europump5 website were analyzed, as were the publications of several international organizations (RobecoSam, SASB, etc.).
  • analysis of press clippings regarding the Group and the industry concerned.
  • company priorities, with reference to the five topics of Decree 254/2016, identified from analysis of the main corporate documents (Code of Ethics, 231 Model, Risk assessment, etc.).

The analysis found 26 significant topics, which were then assessed.

The next phase involved prioritization of the topics identified in order to distinguish the most important based on the two variables considered:

  • Influence on stakeholder assessments and decisions: their importance for stakeholders was evaluated using the results obtained from the above analyses.
  • Significance of the economic, environmental and social impacts for IPG: this assessment was made by top management during an ad hoc workshop, during which participants assigned a score, in terms of significance, to each topic identified.

The results of this analysis therefore led the Group to identify the material topics, based on their impact on IPG and their significance for its stakeholders, as shown in the following matrix:

3.3 Risks

The main risks identified for the 5 topics identified by the legislator, that may become of significance in relation to the pursuit of the Interpump Group strategy in the medium/long-term, are identified in the related headings.

Interpump Group however considers shared risks (applicable to the environmental, social, personnel, human rights and anti-corruption topics), and as such listed in this heading and not repeated in correspondence with the individual topics:

  • reputation risks that arise from the risks listed for each topic;
  • risks linked to possible issues - whether environmental, social, product quality related,

concerning anti-corruption, etc. - with the supply chain.

In this regard, note that in the context of the internal control and risk management system, a process has been implemented of Risk Assessment of business risks originating from external and internal sources based on self-assessment of the risk by the Risk Owners - identified as coinciding with the top management of the Group. The analysis starts from a catalog of risks developed specifically for the Group, based on the typical business areas and the operational and compliance problems and periodically reviewed to take account of any newly identified risk profiles. The business risks examined, i.e. all risks that may become significant in terms of the medium/long-term sustainability of the activities of the Issuer, are classified as strategic, financial, compliance or operational. This Risk Assessment process makes it possible to identify the business risks, to evaluate the degree of risk and to monitor any corrective actions adopted. In this regard, the catalog of risks to be used during 2020 has been revised to specify better those relating to the topics of a non-financial nature addressed in this report.

3.4 Risk management Policies

In addition to the "whistleblowing management policy"6, applicable to the Group, which regulates the method of execution and management of whistleblowing concerning presumed irregularities or illegalities, the Code of Ethics adopted by all Group companies (for China, taking account of the country factor), defines the principles of conduct and the guidelines concerning the 5 topics referenced by legislative decree 254/2016 (environmental, social, personnel, respect for human rights, and anti-corruption). Top management deemed it appropriate to formalize Group policies with reference to the non-financial aspects of the greatest significance for IPG, taking into account the marked diversification of the companies/production sites and their independence. For further details, see the Global Competence Program described in the next heading.

Model

Given the company structure of the Interpump Group, composed of multiple companies, also of small size, that work in different countries with diversified areas of business and taking account of the variable perimeter of the Group from one year to the next, it has not been deemed appropriate to date to define a centralized management model of the themes related to the 5 topics specified in Decree 254/2016.

Interpump Group S.p.A. has adopted an Organization, Management and Control Model pursuant to Decree 231/2001 (the "231 Model"), which details the various roles and responsibilities and enables decision-making processes to be traced, even in the areas covered by this Statement. Together with the Code of Ethics, the 231 Model provides an additional tool for promoting awareness among all employees and all those who collaborate for various reasons with the Company. This helps to ensure compliance, in the execution of their activities in pursuit of the corporate objects, with proper and transparent forms of conduct in line with the Company's ethical-social values, thereby preventing the risk of committing the offenses contemplated in the Decree. The 231 Model was implemented after assessment, using the same methodology, of the risk that the identified offenses might be committed by those Italian subsidiaries that, given their size and organizational complexity, are at relatively greater risk with respect to the offenses considered in Decree 231/2001.

Interpump Group has decided to implement a Global Compliance Program that extends the principles and rules of conduct set down in the 231 Model to the Italian companies for which adoption of the Model is deemed unnecessary, as well as to the foreign companies. The purpose is to achieve ever greater levels of compliance with all applicable legislative measures, and ensure respect for the concepts of legality and ethical conduct in the performance of business activities. The Global Compliance Program of Interpump Group S.p.A. defines a model for the organization and management of activities in line with International Best Practices, to prevent misconduct in the context of the Decree, namely in the following areas: environment, social, personnel, human

6 Available on the corporate website in the Governance section

Interpump Group S.p.A.

rights, and the fight against both active and passive corruption. The Global Compliance Program comprises guidelines that define the principles and rules of conduct to be followed, in order to organize and manage companies in a manner that complies with the applicable regulations and respects the concepts of legality and ethical conduct in the performance of business activities. The Global Compliance Program was approved by the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A.:

  • in 2019 with regard to the fight against active and passive corruption. Adoption and implementation by all Group companies is currently being completed;
  • in February 2020 with regard to the environmental, social and personnel topics and respect for human rights. As in the case of the other topics, these will be adopted and implemented by all Group companies during the second half of 2020.

With reference to the environmental area, a number of Group companies have adopted and implemented quality management systems certified pursuant to UNI EN ISO 9001 (see below for further details); some plants are certified pursuant to UNI ISO/TS 16949:20097.

In addition, several companies have adopted and implemented environmental management systems certified in compliance with international standard EN ISO 14001:2004 - in certain cases the system update process has been launched to comply with the new requirements of standard 14001:2015 - and safety management systems certified in compliance with international standard ISO 45001. See the specific section on environmental and personnel matters for further details.

Interpump top management recognizes, as an essential principle, respect for the laws and regulations in force in the countries of operation of the Group companies, where they are required to comply with those laws and regulations without exceptions of any kind.

Performance indicators

Environmental management systems

GRI 103-2; GRI 103-3

In recent years, the Interpump Group has focused efforts on introducing environmental management systems certified pursuant to UNI EN ISO 14001:2004. At the time of preparing this Statement, about 26% of Group companies - contributing about 46% of consolidated revenues - have implemented environmental management systems pursuant to ISO 14001.

About 16% of Group companies have not only implemented environmental management systems pursuant to ISO 14001, but are also certified in accordance with that international standard at the time of preparing this Statement. Those companies account for about 40% of consolidated revenues.

Use of energy resources

GRI 302-1; GRI 302-3

In 2019 the Interpump Group consumed energy resources totaling 539,887 GJ, up by 3.0% compared to 2018. This consumption breaks down as follows: 60% electricity drawn from the grid9, 27.3% natural gas, 8.5% transport-related diesel, 3.4% gasoline, and 0.7% other. "Other" mostly includes electricity self-generated using PV plants and, to a minimal extent, fuel oil and purchased hot water.

By comparison, consolidated revenues were 5.4% higher overall with respect to the prior year (+7.0% including the Reggiana Riduttori Group, which has been excluded from the scope of this document).

9 The percentage of electricity generated from renewable sources and consumed by the Group depends on the various national electricity generation mixes. Own consumption of renewable electricity produced by PV plants must also be considered for Italy, as more fully illustrated on the next page.

2019 │ Consolidated non-financial statement

Interpump Group S.p.A.

In particular, the consumption of fuel from non-renewable sources (natural gas, gasoline and diesel) was 0.6% lower in 2019 than in 2018 (213,001 vs 211,787 GJ).

Even though energy consumption takes place in sites with highly diversified energy profiles, in order to describe the main types of consumption and give context to the numbers, it is confirmed that most electricity is consumed by production activities, with a residual portion attributable to office equipment and, in some cases, to heating as well. On the other hand, the predominant element of natural gas consumption is attributable to space heating requirements, with industrial applications using it to a lesser extent. The consumption of diesel and gasoline mainly relates to the use of company vehicles.

The increase in energy consumption has been accompanied by an increase in the proportion of renewable energy generated internally through the installation of photovoltaic panels which, overall, have resulted in the production of 1,553 MWh, of which 57.8% was consumed internally, with the remainder transferred to the grid.

At Group level, energy intensity10 was 0.40 GJ/ k€ in 2019, down by 0.01 GJ/ k€ with respect to the prior year for the reasons illustrated above.

The reduction in energy intensity in 2019, with respect to 2018, reflects improvement in the consumption profile of the pre-existing companies and, only in part, to the lower consumption of energy per Euro of sales by the companies acquired during 2019.

Use of water resources

GRI 303-1; GRI 306-1

Around 327 thousand cubic meters of water were drawn in 2019, down by 11% compared to 2018, and used primarily for civil, productive and firefighting purposes. The reduction in consumption results from a review of process to lower their water requirement and increased awareness about the use of water for industrial purposes. With regard to the change in the reporting scope, the new companies acquired during the year did not affect significantly the consolidated indicators. The water needs of the Group are drawn in almost identical measure from the municipal water supply and from wells (company property or used under license).

Atmospheric emissions

GRI 305-1; GRI 305-2; GRI 305-4; GRI 305-7

The Group's atmospheric emissions of greenhouses gases (hereinafter also GHG) were calculated in terms of the following emission types:

  • Scope 1 - direct emissions
  • Scope 2 - energy-related indirect emissions

Scope 1 emissions in the Group correspond to GHG emissions deriving from:

  1. the use of fuel (gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and natural gas);
  1. leakages of refrigerant gas from air conditioning/refrigeration systems.

In 2019 emissions deriving from fuels totaled 12,987 tonnes of CO2eq, while the contribution from the refilling of air conditioning and refrigeration plants was 303 tonnes of CO2eq. The total Scope 1 emissions of the Interpump Group were therefore 13,291 tonnes CO2eq, down by 2.0% versus the prior year.

The reduction in emissions deriving from fuel with respect to 2018 (by 1.7%) was due to the lower consumption of natural gas for heating and certain production activities, as well as to the more efficient use of the vehicle fleet.

Scope 2 emissions mainly related to purchased electricity and only marginally to purchased thermal energy. Considering that the energy required for Group activities is supplied by external entities, with the exception of that produced internally by PV plants, Scope 2 emissions (location-based method) totaled 35,981 tonnes of CO2eq in 2019 (up by 2.2% compared to the prior year).

The increase in Scope 2 emissions in 2019 was mainly due to higher energy consumption by the companies already consolidated, and much less to the change in the reporting scope.

The intensity of GHG emissions in 2019 was lower than in 2018: 0.037 tCO2/k€ compared with 0.038 tCO2/k€, due to the improved energy efficiency coefficients described above

Waste produced

GRI 306-2

In 2019 the Group generated a total of around 25 thousand tonnes of waste, of which 87% non-hazardous and 13% hazardous. The slight reduction in total waste produced compared with the prior year (25,678 tons in 2018 vs 24,944 in 2019), down 2.9%, is consistent with the improvements in efficiency and the revision of certain productive activities.

The following analysis of the waste produced indicates the quantity recycled and disposed of hazardous and non-hazardous (in tonnes).

In quantitative terms, the principal waste produced by the Group consisted of ferrous metal filings and shavings totaling 13 thousand tonnes in 2019 (53.3% of the 24,944 tonnes total waste generated), which were mostly sent for recycling.

The final destination of non-hazardous waste in 2019 was as follows:

  • about 82.5% (17,919 tons) recycled,
  • about 17.5% (3,791 tons) disposed.

With regard to the 3,234 tonnes of hazardous waste produced (8.8% more than in the prior year):

  • about 13.6% (440 tons of hazardous waste) was sent for recycling;
  • about 86.4% (2,794 tons of hazardous waste) was sent for disposal. Some of the main categories of non-hazardous wastes are given below:

Finally, note that based on best practices connected to the environmental management systems implemented in some Group companies and given the growing attention paid to sustainability themes, some IPG suppliers were subjected to an environmental assessment during the three-year reporting period; there was an increase in this practice in the period concerned.

During the three-year reference period, the number and value of fines levied for non-compliance with environmental laws and/or regulations were insignificant, amounting to 0 in 2019.

The Interpump Group focuses attention on occupational health and safety and strives to guarantee a safe workplace for all employees. For this reason, the Group has included specific health and safety guidelines in the Global Compliance Program (see section 3.4 for further details), in to align further the management of this topic within the Group.

Although a global model for OHS management was not available in 2019, Group companies strive to identify specific internal functions responsible for the management of health and safety matters. For example, most Group companies have implemented processes to identify any workplace hazards on a systematic basis; in particular, after identifying risks, the company prepares specific procedures to mitigate them via the provision of targeted training to employees. This is consistent with the best international practices, such as ISO 45001. In addition, as shown in the following chart, the management systems of 18.92% of Group companies are compliant with ISO 45001 and/or OHSAS 18001.

In terms of reporting any hazards, professional incidents and/or hazardous situations in the working environment, most production companies allow employees to notify their managers (e.g. Workers' Safety Representative or Protection and Prevention Manager (HSO) in the Italian context) using predetermined channels. If necessary, these managers then prepare internal procedures compliant with the local regulations, providing employees with the information needed to mitigate the hazards identified.

The following principal activities contribute to the identification and reduction of health and safety risks:

  • periodic visits to and inspections of the workplace by the appointed medical officer;
  • monthly checks assisted by the relevant functions;
  • external audits carried out every quarter;
  • teams dedicated to prevention activities;
  • employee training.

In order to ensure the quality of the above activities, additional checks are carried out by such professionals as the medical officer or the HSO or other suitable personnel (as required by local regulations), who carry out periodic medical check-ups in the workplace during working hours.

In addition, where possible, Group companies strive to ensure employee participation and consultation with them regarding the development, implementation and assessment of the OHSMS; in certain cases, this process is facilitated by the formal participation, as required by local regulations, and involvement of the appointed workers' safety representatives. Where formal worker-management committees have been established, their principal activities include: health monitoring, risk assessment, investigation of incidents and promotion of corrective actions to improve the conditions of workers.

General training, which is essential for the prevention of health and safety risks, is provided by most Group companies. Depending on the specific duties of different categories of worker, specific modules may also be activated to address the risks involved in their activities, for example: physical, ergonomic and chemical hazards present in the workplace and working environments.

Additionally, in some cases when not already required by law, voluntary access to healthcare and medical services by workers is facilitated by the arrangement of supplementary health insurance or membership of supplementary healthcare plans.

Lastly, with regard to prevention and mitigation of the impact of OHS issues on commercial relations, vendors are requested to read and sign for acceptance the Code of Ethics adopted by the Group.

2019 │ Consolidated non-financial statement

Interpump Group S.p.A.

Employees suffered 152 injuries involving more than one day of absence during 2019 (-11.1% vs 2018). By contrast, there were more injuries involving absence of less than 24 hours (94 in 2019 compared with 25 in 2018).

Overall, the total number of injuries was greater than in 2018, although this effect was mainly due to minor injuries, involving absence from work for less than 24 hours.

The external growth policy and, in general, the greater attention paid to matters of safety in the workplace by an industrial group listed on the stock exchange, with respect to the average acquired company, can result in significant variations in the data between years, depending on the specific circumstances at each company.

Below we give the main injury data and rates13 for the three-year reporting period, with an indication of the details for each type. This information is also provided for temporary workers; including them, the total number of injuries involving absence from work for more than 24 hours was 152 in 2019.

Human capital

GRI 102-8; GRI 103-2; GRI 103-3

The Interpump Group considers human capital to be a key resource underpinning the success and continuity of the business, and a distinctive factor in maintaining the global leadership consolidated by the Group in recent years.

The number of employees included within the scope of this NFS totals 6,856, up from 6,516 in 2018 (having excluded the Reggiana Riduttori Group from the scope of this report). About 50% of the increase of 340 was attributable to the acquisitions made during 2019.

Most employees are located in Italy and elsewhere in Europe (especially Germany, Spain and the UK).

The Interpump Group considers the ability to attract and retain young talents to be fundamental and a key strength of the business. The average age of employees falls in the 30-50 range (57.34%).

Female employees account for 17.28% of the total. The level of female employment is nonetheless significant, given that the sector is historically considered to be a male domain.

The Interpump Group workforce has grown steadily over the years, having more than doubling in the last decade (see the Report on operations in 2019 for more details). At 31st December 2019, the number of employees included within the scope of the NFS totaled 6,856, up by 5.22% compared with the prior year and by 15.97% since 2017 (+944 persons). The increase recorded in the year is due mainly to the change in the scope of reporting; in fact, net of this change the increase was 1.8%. Also due to the social perception of the mechanical engineering industry, a large proportion of the employees are men (83% in 2019).

Personnel employed in Italy account for 44.92% (3,080 persons) of the total workforce (6,856 persons). In particular, despite the international vocation of the Group, with a presence in more than 30 countries, no policies have ever been adopted to delocalize the activities traditionally carried out in Italy.
