Environment
Most important results are:
� investments in the environmental field: in
2002, 82.000 EUR. , in 2003, 91.000 EUR
� in Forno Canavese plant, 28.56% of the total asbestos-based roof covering has been removed (1365 sq.m)
� employees environmental training: year
2002, 245 hours (93.87% presence), year 2003, 135 hours (91.22% presence)
� remarkable decrease in production of both dangerous (-66.06%, -43532 kgs) and non-dangerous (-19.43%, -6977 kgs) wastes
� in
 2003, Forno Canavese plant was able to drastically reduce the use of industrial water, by an amount of 9836 cm, or �69.4%)
� though man-hours in
2003 were notably increased (+21.94% or +33512 hours), usage of chemical substances and consumable materials was basically unchanged compared with  2002
� no environmental emergency occurred
� refrigerators of machines bought since
 2002 are equipped with eco-friendly gases
� other activities aimed at reducing the whole environmental impact: new dust suction-treating equipment for FA-BO shot blasting machine in Forno; noise reduction treatment of the centralised oil moisture suction equipment in Rivara plant; new ammonia pipeline for gas nitriding furnace in Forno; new noise reduction integral cases for screw press Vaccari and shearing machine FICEP 560 in Forno; revamping of dust treating device at OMSG shot blasting machine.
� in-progress activities: resin insulation of forging presses floor tanks, study for possible replacement of current electrical condensers with PCB-free new devices.
� short term activities: revamping of evaporative cooling towers, new plantwide water pipelines for water of industrial usage (aimed at eliminating possible leakages)

Here below the most important results achieved:
� Investments:
Year 2004 Euro 33.140, Year 2005 Euro 60.750, Year 2006 Euro 188.000
� Environmental training for our employees:
Year 2004: 209 hours (presence 94,97%), Year 2005: 97 hours (presence 97,47%), Year 2006: 150 (presence 94,48%)
� Production of dangerous wastes:
Year 2004: 30.650 Kg. (0,95% of total), Year 2005: 35.055 Kg. (1,09% of total), Year 2006: 29.947 Kg. (1,00% total), that means an almost flat trend, related to the variation of the yearly production.
� Production of non-dangerous wastes: Year 2004: 3.115 Kg. (0,10% of total),
Year 2005: 3.604 Kg. (0,11% of total), Year 2006: 2.718 Kg. (0,09% of total), that means an almost flat trend, related to the variation of the yearly production.
� Production of �urban-like� wastes:
Year 2004 7.034 Kg. (0,22% of total), Year 2005: 11.379 Kg. (0,35% of total), Year 2006: 9.280 Kg. (0,32% of total), that means an almost flat trend, related to the variation of the yearly production.
� Production of materials for recycling:
Year 2004: 3.169.930 Kg. (98,73% of total), Year 2005: 3.155.947 Kg. (98,44% of total), Year 2006: 2.860.233 Kg. (98,59% of total), that means an almost flat trend, related to the variation of the yearly production.
� Water utilization: Year
2004: 19.081 cm, Year 2005: 6.339 cm (-66,67%), Year 2006: 3.580 cm (-43,52%), thanks to change of old water pipes of the supply consortium, maintenance of evaporation towers, new cooling system for induction hardening water, and closed-loop refrigeration device for hydraulic press at Forno plant.
� The use of two evaporation-concentration machines for recycling of process fluids is going on with full satisfaction. Water-graphite solution at Forno plant and cutting solution at Rivara plant are treated after use. This treatment allows the creation of a smaller quantity of wastes, and the usage of less water, as the recycled water is used in the closed-loop cooling systems of both plants.
Years 2004, 2005, 2006: actions for pollution prevention: resin coating of under-press tanks for forging and coining presses was completed (q.ty 5); 6 capacitors at Forno plant, potentially filled with PCB were disposed of; anti vibration dampers were installed under new automated 2500 tons. press and Vaccari screw press, with previous realization of leakproof tanks.
Years 2004, 2005, 2006: actions for noise and pollution reduction: 4 out of 5 suction-filtration systems were replaced at Forno plant forging presses; billet loader at the new 2500 tons. forging press was equipped with noise reduction cabin; same cabins were repaired and obtimized at shearing machines Ficep C140 and 280, and all other forging presses; a new trouble detection system was installed in the evaporation-concentration machine (Forno plant); screw press Vaccari was moved farther from civil homes north of the plant and mounted on vibration reduction device.
Years 2004, 2005, 2006: other actions aimed at optimizing resource utilization: power factor correction device at Forno plant, its use was resumed; old heating system at Rivara plant (diesel air heating machine) was disposed of, and superseded by new gas heating machines with higher efficiency and lower emission; replacement of old, leaking water pipes of industrial water supply.
� Cooling systems of machines purchased in the 3 years of reference are filled with ozone friendly gases.
� The plan of putting every machine of Rivara plant on leak-free tank was completed; also, every machine is connected with the centralised air suction system, or equipped with its dedicated device.
� In the 3 years timeframe, despite fluctuations in activity hours, utilization of raw materials, chemicals and substances was aligned with the production amount.
� No environmental emergency occurred (like fires, leakages due to accidents or machines failures, gas leakages, explosions, failures in suction/treating devices, etc)
