Sec. No.2 KIPRE HOLDING and Environmental Commitment

KIPRE HOLDING SPAThe KIPRE group is a dynamic reality operating on the meat products market, which has expanded considerably over the past fifteen years through its acquisition of competitor companies and, in particular, its investment in expanding the capacity of its systems: selective investment into best technology available on a global scale (also from an environmental standpoint). The Group’s strategic and administrative management is based in San Dorligo della Valle (near Trieste, Italy). It employs about 300 people. Its key market extends nationally, in Europe and internationally. Over the years, it has concentrated its greatest efforts into production policies that take into consideration a growing, collective sensitivity to environmental aspects and future generations. Such strategy has guided the Company to pursue concrete purchasing programmes and incorporate technology to minimize its environmental impact. In particular, the factory at Principe di San Daniele located in San Daniele del Friuli employs a coherent environmental policy to UNI EN ISO 14001 standard.The KIPRE group’s Board of Directors has approved a project to implement certification to ISO 14001 standard with Emas rating.

Environmental commitmentProtecting the environment is an essential component of KIPRE’s corporate mission, and is one that extends to its Principe di San Daniele factory. Looking

to the future where the environment is concerned, and developing long-lasting and sustainable development is a basic concept for the KIPRE group, around which its management has always based its corporate approach. Sharing its corporate mission as part of its business strategy has certainly contributed to raising awareness and focusing special attention on the environment by: developing clean technology; manufacturing products with a smaller

ecological footprint; focusing attention on the factory’s local

Community, implementing measures to improve adjacent areas;

achieving energy saving by installing new technology, such as heat recovery from cooling systems, and renewal of heat content by exploiting outdoor air to condition certain areas.

The KIPRE group, aware that its actions may become increasingly transparent and credible through an effective flow of information and open collaboration with interested parties (collaborators, clients, suppliers, local communities, public bodies, control bodies), has decided to participate with Emas, starting with the Principe factory in San Daniele del Friuli (already certified to UNI EN ISO 14001 standard), and becoming committed to extending UNI EN ISO 14001 certification to other company factories over the next four years. Publication of this Environmental Statement is additional confirmation of the Group’s commitment to the environment and open communication.


Sec. No.2 KIPRE HOLDING and Environmental Commitment

The factory opened in 1970.It is currently divided into three similar sections built in three different periods: the Old factory (B), the New factory (A) and the Extension (C)The first, built in the ‘60s, extends vertically, the second, built in the late ‘80s, extends horizontally and the third was built in 2006. The production zones are adjoining only in the Salting Line area, where the legs are

desalinized, and the Shipping Department, where the products are sent for additional processing (shipping on bone, boning or slicing). Over the years, technological advances and structural improvements have been made at the factory to create ideal areas for technological innovation and growing needs in terms of production.The most significant measures have been:

1988 Activity was started up at the “New” factory, to include: Fresh hams reception area Salting, pre-resting and resting cells Pre-aging and aging rooms Shipping/logistics area

1989/90 The new methane gas heating systems were installed as part of the heating unit



1992/94 The capacity of the cell conditioning systems was increased: rooms 1, 2 and 3 ventilated resting and pre-resting

Use of glycol as a refrigerant was introduced in the following cells: aging drying

New control software was installed to monitor the environmental conditions inside the cellsExtraordinary maintenance was performed on the rails in the factory’s salt, rest and pre-rest cells, in order to increase the load capacity of the supportsExtraordinary flooring was installed in the reception and shipping areaAll the walls in the reception area were tiled and stainless steel buffers installedThe boning area and finished product cell were restructuredAn external protected area was built in front of the raw material reception area

1996 An extension was added, including: subsidiary materials storage room, slicing stores of semi-finished product for slicing mechanical workshop

1998 The company fire prevention “ring” was completed and its capacity increased 1999/2000 Areas were re-structured and adapted in order to correctly manage the company

layoutThe fire prevention system was updated in meet current regulations Structures associated with emissions from the heating unit were renovatedA new roof was put on the factory, complete with drainage guttersThe salting process was mechanized and an automatic salt handling system with special silos was introducedExtraordinary maintenance was performed on the rails in the fresh product reception area and salt cells at the factory

2001 The factory’s electrical system was adjusted2002 The cutting rooms were refitted, introducing clean rooms with updated technology2003 An initial water treatment system was added to treat waste water before it is released

in to the consortium’s purifying system2004 Modifications were made to the refrigeration unit in the aging room2006 The factory was expanded further to include boning and slicing areas featuring:

increased capacity in air conditioning and treatment systems integration of the refrigeration system with a recovery system for part of the

calories from condensation produced by the new chillers and 2 motor-condensation units generating consistent savings in boiler fuel: recovery of a portion of calories from condensation can somewhat alleviate the thermal load on the cooling towers leading to energy savings

the introduction of a microbiological treatment system (CLAUGER) for environmental air in the cutting room and all connected rooms



the introduction of an air circulation system for store rooms for boning with systems channelled with heat content control in order to use outdoor air in the coldest months, putting less strain on the load on the refrigeration system in turn resulting in energy savings

the connection of all the suction points in the air treatment unit to an air replacement treatment unit (KATHABAR) which dehumidifies the air through chemical treatment; the system’s operating principle is based on using absorbent liquid (DRYSOL) through which it is possible to check the humidity of the air to be channelled.

In detail, the factory is currently structured as follows:

The FRESH PRODUCT DEPARTMENT is located in the basement in the New and Old factories: This department comprises:

1 Fresh Meat Reception, with a single Salting Line for both factories;

Rest stores, Ham Washing Area and Dryers in the basement of both factories

The AGING DEPARTMENT is comprised of: Pre-Aging rooms on floor 3B and

in basement A; Aging rooms on the Ground

Floor, and floors 2B and 3B, on Mezzanine floor A, in the basement and floor 1C.

Processing is organised so the hams are aged in the two factories, and then sent to the Shipping Department.

The BONING-BLOCK PRESSING DEPARTMENT is located in the factory’s extension. It comprises two separate production areas:

− the ham boning line;− the ham block pressing line for

slicing.The department also has:

ham aging rooms where raw materials needed for production are stored (basement C),

finished boned product cell, block product cells, the boxing room

The SLICING DEPARTMENT is located in the factory’s extension. It comprises:

3 cutting rooms, containing 4 production lines

Hardening cells to store semi-finished products for slicing

Boxing/shipping area Finished sliced product store cell Reel storage cell for routine use

The LOGISTICS DEPARTMENT is located behind the offices, between the Old and New factories, to the front of the building.

The department also has: ham aging rooms where raw

materials needed for production are stored,

finished boned product cell, from which boned products are taken for routine shipping

finished sliced product cell, from which sliced products are taken for routine shipping

Its general business is the production and aging primarily of San Daniele DOP ham, but also raw hams, which can also be boned and sliced. It also slices other types of semi-finished cold cuts.



Territorial scope

The factory’s layout is shown in attachment 1 Section 8. It is located in the municipality of San Daniele del Friuli (Udine, Italy), in the “D2-food industry” zone (about 30 km outside Udine) San Daniele del Friuli is situated on a hill called colle Massimo, which is sheltered behind Monte di Ragogna, marking the western edge of the morainic amphitheatre, left by quaternary glaciers in the northern area of Udine.The San Daniele hill is morainic, it is very near the base of the Alpine foothills, and lies near the river Tagliamento. The city centre is 252 metres above sea level.The Municipality extends over an area of 34.67 km2, and has a population of 8,000 with a density of 230 inhabitants per square kilometre.



Borders:

• Northern border : Industrial area

• Eastern border : Road SS 463

• Western border : Industrial area

• Southern border : Industrial area

The overall Site area is 44,230 m2 of which: 26% is developed

(production rooms, utilities, stores, offices);

34% is occupied by roads and inner courtyards;

40% is occupied by areas of greenery.



The Company’s architecture does not reflect incongruous elements in form and colour, and the building is perceived as well-maintained and harmonious with its surroundings. It is located in an industrial area, with nearby Companies built in a similar configuration. On the whole, the Company was designed with particular care given to its infrastructures (green areas, maintenance etc).



Description of subsoilThe lay of the land in the area featuring the High Friuli plain (piedmont-morainic plain) and to the North the hills of the morainic amphitheatre, derives in part from man’s doing, as agriculture, lines of communication and factories have changed the area’s original appearance.

In particular, the Company is built on a level area, with a very gentle slope of about 1° to the south west.From a lithological point of view, the area contains elements deposited by the glaciofluvial currents of the Tagliamento river; these deposits mainly comprise of pebbles and gravel (Dolomite calcareous in nature) and a variety of finer types (sand, silts).

Specifically, analysis of the tomography of the well located on the property has mapped the following average tomography sequence:

m 0.0 – 44.5 deposit mainly containing gravel

m 44.5 -51.5 deposit mainly containing clay

m 51.5 -93.0 gravely deposit with levels of clay

m 93.0 -97.0 deposit mainly containing clay

m 97.0 – bottom of the well with gravely deposit at times cemented – compacted conglomerates.

The site is about 2.5 km from the Tagliamento river and the area in question features artificial canals and natural channels. Rain water drains from the ground’s first water bed level (where not paved or built up) and when the rain is particularly intense, puddles may form.It is estimated that the average depth of the water bed is 100 m from the level of the countryside (75 m from the sea level).

The area where the Factory is located slopes slightly towards the north east and it is bordered upstream by mountains carved by glaciers.The area, defined by the Municipality of San Daniele, has peculiar and regular environmental conditions. Geographically identified as central Friuli, the area has a surface of 3,467 hectares and is located alongside the Tagliamento river, representing the first hilly buttress in the pre-mountainous



morainic region where, in Friuli, the Po Valley ends.The town is set on the slope and is at the foot of a morainic hill, 276 metres above sea level at its summit and encompassing the left river bank of the Tagliamento river. In addition to the Tagliamento river, the first mountainous peaks of the Pre-Carnic Alps rise less than 2,000 metres away as the crow flies.The orography of the area and its morainic origins define a particular conformation of the soil that, broadly and typically gravely, has a powerful hygroscopic function and, consequently, permanent drainage for moisture. This effect then interacts with the warm breeze carried along the river bed of the Tagliamento river from the Adriatic Sea (35 Km away as the crow flies). It cools gradually and comes into direct contact with the cold winds blowing down from the Alps, also along the Tagliamento river, connecting directly with the Canale del Ferro canal of Tarvisiano, over twenty kilometres away. The result is a constant and unique microclimate in this geographical context, which as a result offers the characteristic of permanent ventilation in the area. Together with the drainage, guaranteed by the geomorphological context, such ventilation

ensures a dry area which is broadly considered ideal for aging ham. It also produces additional elements that transports microflora from the typical plants in the area, creating the character and typical aromatic personality of the product.

Description of Site activityIts general business is the production of: San Daniele DOP raw ham (on the

bone, boned, sliced);

raw ham (on the bone, boned, sliced);

slicing of Italian meat products (raw ham, cooked ham, salami, loin pork roast, bresaola, mortadella)

It has not exceeded production quantities set out in Legislative Decree no. 59/2006.

Standard production cycle:RECEIPTThe legs are delivered to the processing factory directly by the butcher, on board refrigerated vehicles and then cooled at a temperature of between - 1° and + 4°C (minimum and maximum levels permitted by regulations, temperature checked in the core of the leg).The legs are unloaded from the vehicle then trimmed: this is necessary to correct any imperfections created at the slaughterhouse and to reveal any traces of deep or superficial bruising beneath the layer of fat occurring during transportation of the live animal, at the slaughterhouse or the butcher’s. Additionally, the meat around the shin is removed at this stage to allow internal moisture to drip out in later processing stages, to avoid blood pools and to help the salt penetrate the meat at a point critical to the success of the finished product. Each individual piece is then weighed and the legs are divided into lots of similar weights (homogenous unitary weights). This is important to the next salting stage.

FIRST SALTINGThe first salting stage is normally done 24-48 hours after the fresh pig legs have been received and after they have been trimmed and weighed. They are placed in a recovery cell at a temperature of between + 1° and + 3° C, with humidity levels changing constantly between 85 and 90% for even humidity and “core” temperature.At the same time, the legs are branded on the rind by a fire brand bearing the processing date, the initials D.O.T. and the veterinary approval number in line with legal requirements.The hams are completely covered with salt with no specific salt to weight ratio (approximately 5%) and are rubbed by a rubbing machine. They are then placed horizontally on a surface, and rested in a salt cell, where they are stored at a constant temperature of 1ºC to 4ºC, at a humidity level of around 90%.

The salting technique is based on the ratio between the weight of the fresh pig leg and the length of time the leg will rest “in salt” at a certain temperature and humidity level. The production processes used dictate that the leg is kept “in salt” for an average of one day for each kilogram of weight.

SECOND SALTINGAfter 5-7 days, the excess salt remaining after phase one is removed from the external surface of the hams and they are then massaged by a vibrating/massaging machine (revision). It is at this point – just like at the end of the salting process – that an exact pressure is exerted on the ham to eliminate every trace of residue liquid from the main spurs of femoral artery that pass through the muscle mass. The ham is then salted once again - following the same criteria used in the initial stage – and spends the remaining salting period at the same temperature and level of humidity established in the previous stage. Dried sea salt, with a granularity level of 2, is used exclusively, and moisture is added only on the salting line. No additives are added to the salt, as they are prohibited by regulations.

DESALTINGWhen salting is complete, any salt that did not penetrate the ham is removed from the external surfaces and the meat is massaged, the ham is trimmed and the part protruding from the haunch due to volume loss is removed (excess bone protruding from the pubis), and any imperfections on the lean and fatty surfaces are eliminated.

PRE-RESTINGIn this stage, the hams are stored in cells at a temperature between 2ºC and 4ºC and at humidity levels varying from 70-75% to 80-85%, for an average period of 12-14 days but which may be as long as 20 days depending on the environmental conditions and the meat.



RESTINGIn this stage, the hams are transferred to cells where they are stored at temperatures that are gradually increased from 3-5ºC to 7-9ºC during the 70 days of rest, and at the same varying humidity levels as above.At the end of the resting period, the legs are recovered with a series of 30 minute washing cycles, needed to soften the exterior and the formation of substances on the surface eliminated from the meat in earlier stages.

WASHINGThis entails the final washing of the external surface of the ham using brushes and jets of water at a temperature of approx. 30-35ºC or using pressurized jets of water. Based on historic quality results for the finished product, this stage takes place at least 90 days from the date the product is salted.

DRYINGOnce the drying is completed, the hams are transferred to drying rooms where the meat is "recovered" by means of humid (65-80%) internal air circulation, at temperatures ranging from 15ºC to 22ºC (these parameters vary on the basis of subsequent treatment techniques). The hams remain in the rooms for 5-7 days.Great care is taken to make sure that the areas where the most moisture drips out (shin and haunch) are fully dry, a sign that the dehydration process has been successful. The legs are removed from the drying cell with an internal temperature of about 15-16° C.

PRE-AGINGThe hams are taken from the drying cell and moved to the pre-aging cell where they will remain for 28-35 days, and for longer periods of time in order to facilitate "recovery", at temperatures from 15-17ºC and a humidity level of 65-75%.

These stages combine to ensure final product stabilization and to prefigure ideal conditions for the ham before it is moved onto

the final aging stage. The tissues undergo a very delicate, orchestrated dehydration stage and dilate the transpiration surface to prepare for aging conditions.

AGINGAfter a period of time in the pre-aging cells, the hams are placed in the aging rooms: naturally-aerated rooms with lots of windows, but which also have air conditioning systems to limit the impact of seasonal changes on temperature and humidity.The hams are stored in the aging rooms for an average of eight months, at a constant humidity between 70% and 80% and at temperatures that vary from a minimum of 15ºC to a maximum of 20ºC.

“SUGNATURA”After about six months from the start of the production process, the hams undergo “sugnatura” (covering of exposed meat with softened pork fat). This operation involves applying finely minced pork fat to the flat open surfaces of the ham. This fat protects the ham and softens the exposed surfaces at the same time. It also ensures the passage of humidity from the muscular mass to the external environment.

STUCCOINGThe ham to be sold on the bone undergoes a stuccoing process which comprises of spreading a blend of pork fat and wheat flour on the exposed surfaces.

BONINGOnce the aging cycle is over and the San Daniele brand has been applied, the ham can be boned and then packaged whole or in portions.In this case, the boning operations are performed in separate, ambient-controlled rooms. After arrival from the aging rooms and having been washed, all the residual bone is removed from the product, any imperfections are cut away, and the product is then pressed and vacuum packed to be preserved.The trotter is also removed during boning; San Daniele ham is now identifiable by the brand which is applied at this point and which remains permanently visible on the rind.



SLICINGIt is also possible to slice the aged, boned and pressed ham. Semi-finished cold cuts purchased from other suppliers are also sliced.

THIRD PARTY SALES-PROCESSINGSome products for reselling also enter the factory once they have been either boned and/or sliced. Products are also boned on behalf of third parties.

SHIPPINGThis is the last phase in the production cycle. The packaged and packed products (on the bone, boned and/or sliced) are placed in pallets in accordance with customer and logistics requirements, and then loaded onto refrigerated lorries for direct delivery to the client or, as is more generally the case, locations where group shipments are organized.Sales are made nationally or to other countries within the EU and non-EU countries, such as Japan and the USA.

Section 8 attachment 2 includes a detailed diagram of the production cycle

Suppliers and products usedSuppliers of products, production and the management of utilities are selected and chosen on the basis of the services they provide which may be influenced by quality as well as the environment. Auxiliary products used for processing are provided with a safety information sheet which is formally evaluated (also from an ecological standpoint) before being used.Section 6 contains a list of the main substances used (raw and subsidiary materials) indicating the quantity supplied on an annual basis. All necessary precautions are taken to ensure the safety of people and the environment during storage and handling, which are also monitored. The Factory does not pose a significant fire risk considering the quantities and types of substances used (pursuant to art. 6 and 7 of Legislative Decree no. 238/2005 as amended). System procedures require evaluations to be repeated and revisions made if changes are detected.

In pursuit of this, the commitment of the Top Management in its quest to implement an environmental management system compliant with UNI EN ISO 14001 standards is essential. It has made the necessary resources available for this purpose, by: contributing to protecting the environment

and preventing pollution coherently with needs in the social and economic context where the Factory is based;

establishing, documenting and making available an environmental policy and ensuring it is properly adhered to;

identifying environmental aspects associated with activity, products and services and then determining their environmental significance;

creating the conditions to be able to supply tangible evidence of attention and conformity to applicable Legal Requirements, as well as to the voluntary Standards the Company adheres to;

identifying priorities for intervention and establish, in line with periodic reviews of the SGA by Top Management, appropriate objectives and targets for improvement;

providing evidence to Interested Parties that a concrete company commitment exists to satisfy what is expressed in the policy, objectives and goals.

maintaining and extending environmental management system certification to include external certification;

applying for the Factory to be registered in compliance with Regulation (EC) 761/20010 – Emas.

The descriptive and current documentation pertaining to the Environmental Management System refers to the Integrated System of Environmental Management and Quality for which secondary and sub documents exist to regulate considerations and operating aspects of the system. The responsibilities, primary tasks and interaction with the employees who perform the activity who have an influence on environmental management have been defined and provided to relevant Departments, who have also been provided with the necessary resources.Personnel at the Factory are trained and are involved in activities devised to raise awareness and pertaining to communication instruments to ensure adequate measures remain in place to protect the environment and play an active role in improving environmental performance, as well as observing criteria that should be in place if an emergency situation should arise.In order to determine whether an Environmental Management System is compliant with plans and has been correctly applied and maintained, internal audits have been performed as part of special programmes and procedures. The audit cycle was devised with consideration to the significance of environmental aspects and in order to ensure that coded system activity is fully verified. Corrective or preventive action is implemented subsequent to the audit in accordance with the outcome.



Primary roles and responsibilitiesThe paragraphs that follow outline the primary roles and responsibilities of the Departments most closely involved with the Company’s environmental management at the Principe di San Daniele factory.

Coordination and expert support for environmental management is entrusted to a specific Group Department called RSGA (Environmental Management System Management).

Environmental considerations and Site impact

General considerationsEnvironmental analysis has revealed all the environmental aspects (direct and indirect) associated with activity, products and services at the Principe di San Daniele factory in Friuli.

Associated impact factors were linked to such aspects and, on the basis of performance evaluation criteria, they were

attributed an index of significance to determine which are the most important for:

preparing the Environmental Management System;

focusing measures and commitments for the continued improvement (objectives and targets) to possible manoeuvres

The diagram below shows the process logic.

In the next points in this Section, identification methods and evaluation criteria adopted with regard to direct and indirect environmental aspects. Moreover, for each

aspect/impact factor considered grading, management and control information is given.


Sec. No. 6


Environmental aspects

Identification modeFactory activity is divided into a number of associated sub-processes according to the Areas where they take place for the purposes of identifying environmental aspects. Associated impact factors are linked to each aspect identified (for example, emissions into the atmosphere, waste etc).Environmental aspects contained in Appendix A, point A.3.1 of Standard ISO 14001, and other environmental aspects were taken into consideration as they regard Company activity.The following direct environmental aspects are considered:

Atmospheric emissions Noise Waste and packaging Water drainage

Electromagnetic emissions Odours Water and energy resources Contamination of the soil and subsoil Harmful and inflammable substances

The following indirect environmental aspects are considered:

Atmospheric emissions Noise Waste and packaging Contamination of the soil and subsoil

The following Table shows the environmental aspects considered, divided into direct environmental aspects and indirect environmental aspects

Environmental aspects may be generated in normal and/or anomalous and/or emergency conditions.

• Normal conditions refer to all those activities that are normally performed by the company;

• Anomalous conditions are intended as all those

extraordinary maintenance activities that occur in the company or phenomena that do not happen all the time and which however cannot be categorized as emergency conditions;

• Per condizioni di emergenza ci si riferisce a quelle situazioni


Sec. No. 6


che si verificano in circostanze impreviste e gravi, i cui impatti devono essere gestiti. Emergency conditions refer to

those situations that occur in unexpected and serious circumstances, whose impact must be managed.

Criteria for evaluating significance

The degree to which aspects are critical is evaluated on the basis of the following.

1. The frequency/probability with which the aspect/impact occurs is estimated on a scale of 1 to 4, on the basis of the values indicated in the diagram below:

Evaluation of the PROBABILITY that the event will occurCase record Value AssessmentActivity of scarce relevance in terms of quantity and quality (e.g. emissions of

little regard not containing dangerous substances, limited production of urban

waste) and generated sporadically

1 Remote

Activity of little relevance in terms of quantity and quality (e.g. emissions of little

regard containing dangerous substances or otherwise, but which are lower than

the threshold of detection, significant production of special, non-dangerous

urban waste) generated regularly

2 Low

Activity of little relevance in terms of quantity and quality (e.g. meaningful

emissions of dangerous substances or otherwise, but for which adequate

removals systems are in place, limited production of dangerous urban waste)

generated normally

3 Moderate

Activity of much relevance in terms of quantity and quality (e.g. meaningful

emissions of dangerous substances or otherwise, for which adequate removal

systems are not in place, production of large quantities of dangerous urban

waste) generated frequently

4 High

2. The gravity of the consequences of the impact on the environment is estimated on a scale of 1 to 4, on the basis of the values indicated in the diagram below:

Evaluation of the GRAVITY of the impact

Evaluation Value AssessmentVery scarce relevance internally or externally to the Company (e.g. few

emission points, effects not detectable in the workplace and externally, no

odours or dust)

1 Minor


Sec. No. 6


Scarce relevance internally or externally to the Company (e.g. emissions of low

significance, effects detectable in the workplace and externally, no odours or

dust)

2 Important

Relevance internally or externally to the Company (e.g. significant emissions

with effects detectable in the workplace and externally but with removal systems

in place, odours and dust present)

3 Serious

Great relevance internally or externally to the Company (e.g. many emission

points with effects detectable in the workplace and externally, odours and dust

present)

4 Very Serious

3. The measurability is estimated, evaluating the capacity with which the management and control system in

place is able to avoid a possible impact, on a scale of 1 to 4 on the basis of the criteria indicated in the diagram below.

MEASURABILITY evaluationOperating and control methods Value AssessmentPresence of written operating instructions, maintenance plans, adequate

technology and suitable monitoring systems with frequent controls1 Very high

Adoption of operating instructions that may not be written, media technology

and suitable monitoring systems with periodic controls2 High

Absence of operating instructions, informal periodic maintenance, occasional

training for personnel, occasional controls3 Moderate

Absence of operating instructions, unprogrammed maintenance, management

based only on experience, occasional or non-existent controls4 Low

If data is unavailable, or if doubts exist with

regard to the specific impact of a situation, a

more cautious evaluation must be

considered.

4. The Risk Priority Index (IPR) is calculated from the product of Frequency, Seriousness and Measurability; the risk should be calculated for each environmental aspect and shown in the summary module (See Section 8. tables 3 and 9 attached). Depending on the IPR calculated, the

following action should be taken:

Result from 1 to 10No Corrective Action is necessary, but the performance should be monitored from an


Sec. No. 6


environmental stance in function of other planned activities.

Result from 11 to 25Operational action must be taken to reduce the evaluation index and/or targets for improvement; it remains important to carefully calculate and limit prevention costs.In this context, operating control must be imposed as a management method including controls, supervision and auditing, procedures and instructions for operating control for those activities that, unless planned, may compromise efforts to achieve established objectives.Additional controls must be defined where the consequences of the impact are extremely damaging.

Result from 26 to 48Operating action must be undertaken to reduce the evaluation index and targets for improvement to reduce the risk index.

Additional controls must be defined to carefully monitor the state of advancement of the programme and targets for improvement

Result from 49 to 64Corrective Action must be taken to reduce the scope of the impact as soon as possible. Where new processes are involved, the activity in question should not be undertaken unless the values are reduced (IPR lower than 49).

On the basis of the Risk Priority Index calculated and possible margins for manoeuvring, management criteria applicable to the aspect/impact factors are: Containment actions. Control over operations. Surveillance and measurement activity Targets for improvement.

A) Direct environmental aspects

The important parameters of environmental impact identified are shown below; performance indicators for the same (three-year period 2005/2007 and first half year 2008).

1. WATER AND ENERGY RESOURCES

Electrical energyElectricity is supplied at medium voltage at 20

KV transformed by two low voltage cabins to 400 Volt.

Consumption is controlled on a monthly basis, making reference to the electricity summary. The Environmental Manager analyses the data every quarter, and in particular verifies the Consumption Index (I) calculated as follows

I =kW/h/ KgWhereby:


Sec. No. 6


• Kg = Kg of finished product shipped in the quarter in question.

• KW/h = consumption of electrical energy in the quarter in question.

Where the index exceeds 10% of the reference value (“Consumption Index” of the quarter the previous year) then an analysis is made on the possible causes of the anomalous consumption. The Environmental Manager therefore shall take steps for what was established as part of the EMS procedure with regard to management of the non-conformity.

Moreover, special software is available to calculate the value of the cost of the electrical system on an ongoing basis. Where the cost calculated is outside the range of 0.85-0.95, an electronic controller triggers the re-phasing unit, switching on or off the condenser batters to return the value of the parameter within the range indicated.

Thermal energy (Methane)Methane is used in the production cycle as

well as to heat the buildings. Consumption is verified on a monthly basis by a meter reading. The data is analyzed every quarter, and in particular the Consumption Index (I) is calculated as follows

I = m3/ KgWhereby:

• Kg = Kg of finished product shipped in the quarter in question.

• m3 = cubic metres of methane consumed in the quarter in question.

Where the index exceeds 10% of the reference value (“Consumption Index” of the quarter the previous year calculated by applying the formula shown above) then an analysis is made on the possible causes of the anomalous consumption. The Environmental Manager therefore shall take steps for what was defined as part of the EMS procedure with regard to management of the non-conformity.

Consumption of methane and electricity and indexed consumption in the period 2005-2008 (1st half year) is shown in the table in Attachment 4 Section 8

An increase in consumption of electricity and methane consumption overall as well as indexed was recorded in 2007. This increase, coinciding with the fully operative status at the expanded factory, may be due not only to an overall increase in productivity, but to the following “novel” elements in the new productive area:

pre-boning wash (use of hot water) new sanitizing system for the trolleys

used in handling the blocks (use of hot water)

implementation of slicing lines dehumidification system for clean

rooms that use hot water for regeneration

Water resources

Well water There are two operational wells from which water is drawn for routine factory use: the characteristics are described in the following Table.


Sec. No. 6


Artesian well 1 Artesian well 2Description Factory courtyard Factory courtyardUse Production cycle Production cycleDepth (m) 151 151Nominal capacity (m3/h) 47 m3/h 20 m3/hLitre gauge Present PresentYear of construction 1970 1988Authorization Decree no.

ALPUD/B/674/IPD/2909Valid until 31/12/2017

Decree no. ALPUD/B/674/IPD/2909Valid until 31/12/2017

Water consumption in the evaporation towers is checked on a daily basis and consumption of the water drawn from the two wells is checked on a monthly basis. The Environmental Manager analyses the data every quarter, and in particular verifies the Consumption Index (I) calculated as followsI = m3/ KgWhereby:Kg = Kg of finished product shipped in the quarter in question.m3 = cubic metres of water drawn from the well and consumed in the quarter in question.Where the index exceeds 30% of the reference value (“Consumption Index” of the quarter the previous year) then an analysis is made on the possible causes of the anomalous consumption. The Environmental Manager therefore shall take steps for what was defined as part of the EMS procedure with regard to management of the non-conformity.It should be noted that during the summer the evaporation towers consume greater quantities of water to optimize refrigeration in the cells.Every two years the filter/water softener unit is replaced or reconditioned.

Water from the WaterworksWater from the waterworks is only used in

emergency situations.

Consumption of the water from the waterworks is checked on a monthly basis in order to check for any leaks in the water system. The Environmental Manager analyses data every month.

If the Environmental Manager discovers unjustified water consumption, he may pursue analysis on the possible causes for the consumption. The Environmental Manager therefore shall take steps for what was established as with regard to management of the non-conformity.

Consumption of water in the period 2005-2008 (1st half year) is shown in the table in Attachment 5 Section 8

It is clear that after a peak in overall and indexed consumption recorded in 2007, water consumption has fallen in the current year. This saving is attributable to improvement measures being introduced in the evaporation towers. Specifically, the automatic flushing devices were set and the conductivity meters were calibrated reducing the frequency with which the water was replaced.

2. WATER DRAINAGEConsortium purification systemThe Company, like other ham producers is a

member of the San Daniele ham consortium

The services offered by the consortium include purification of waste water produced by various consortium Companies. The waste water is carried to a central purification system to be purified and then transported into the drain system belonging to the Municipality of San Daniele.

On 02/02/2006 Ref. No. 2889, the Municipality of San Daniele authorized the Consortium to issue water from the Company’s purification system into its drainage system. The Consortium is therefore authorized to discharge its water.

The Consortium-Company Agreement Protocol entered into on 15/02/1993 specifies that when the level of consortium water exceeds the limitations established by law, Consortium Companies shall respond in proportion to their specific responsibilities.

Company dischargesThe main sources of waste water exiting the Factory are:

Process water. The waste water from washing hams, and the water collected by the indoor traps; the water from the traps contains saline residue and substances such as detergents and disinfectants, deriving from the rooms being washed every evening.

Cooling water. This is water from the heat exchanger and that does not come into contact with process water.

Water from bathrooms flows into respective wells fitted with Imhoff tanks

that are emptied by sewer companies on a regular basis.

Rainwater. Rainwater is carried by pipes to the consortium purification system.

All the water flows into two decanting tanks of difference capacities.

The decanted water from the tanks flows into the consortium’s purification system.

Periodically, a company specialised in cleaning tanks suctions off the greasy residue from the water.

The quantity of waste water discharged annually is calculated on the basis of a lump-sum estimate of 70% of the overall water collected a year.

The quantity of water in the period 2005-2008 (1st half year) is shown in the table in Attachment 6 Section 8

New dischargesThe Company cannot activate new discharge unless it is authorized to do so by the pertinent bodies or the purification system Managing Body.In this case, the procedure set out by law or the Consortium’s Regulation shall be implemented.

Discharges maintenanceThe waste removal pumps on the Consortium’s tanks are Serviced annually

Periodic controls of wastewaterThe following table shows the parameters

and frequency of analytical controls performed on samples from the inspection well to which all the industrial waste and rain water flow.

The Environmental Manager checks, signs and dates all the “Test Reports” from the external Laboratory.

Limitations on wastewaterThe Company, discharging into the drainage system of the San Daniele Ham Consortium, must adhere to the values set out in the Table below, which shows the values set out


Sec. No. 6

3. WASTEThe production process and associated processes generate waste, mainly non-harmful waste, in quantities requiring controlled management.

Waste is analyzed and classified by type, collected in special marked/equipped areas and removed regularly by the authorized Service Provider.The types of waste produced in the company are:

CER Description

020201 Sludge from washing and cleaning

020299 Unspecified waste (salt from processing)

120104 Non-ferrous powder and particulate

130205* Exhaust oils

150101 Paper and cardboard packaging

150102 Plastic packaging

190806* Exhaust ion exchange resin

200139 Plastic

200304 Sludge from septic tanks

Other types of waste may occasionally be produced, for example after extraordinary maintenance has been carried out; thiswaste is managed employing the means described below.The production process and associated processes generate waste, mainly non-

harmful waste, in quantities requiring controlled management.The most common types of non-harmful waste produced in the company are:Paper and cardboard packaging: generated by cardboard packaging of some incoming products. It is collected separately and then sent for recycling.


Sec. No. 6


Used salt: from salting fresh legs. The salt is collected in special marked containers and sent for disposal Plastic packaging: basically packaging from slicing discarded during the production cycle and from some auxiliary packaging material from products entering the Factory. This type of waste is also sent for recycling.

Sludge from purification: this is generated by the purification process for waste water and is removed by specialist Companies.

In addition to these types, smaller quantities of waste are also generated, mainly associated with interventions on systems and various maintenance operations.

The various types of waste are managed separately, in accordance with the EWC code, in the following stages:• Production and collection;• Analysis of classification;• Temporary deposit (stacking);• Load registration:• Conferral and registration of load;• Annual waste declaration on the Modello

Unico di Dichiarazione (MUD – Single Declaration Form).

Annual waste declaration on the Modello Unico di Dichiarazione (MUD – Single Declaration Form).The Environmental Manager, in collaboration with the External Consultant, where appointed, compiles the annual MUD (Italian Law no. 70/94)The Environmental Manager compares data reported in the Load and Unload Registration with data reported on the forms to compile the MUD correctly.The Manager presents the MUD to the local Chamber of Commerce by the date set out by law and pays tax due.

4. HARMFUL AND INFLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES

Each substance and/or product being used by the Company must have a Safety Card. The substances and/or products are kept in areas that are specially selected and equipped.When selecting storage areas, special attention is placed on making sure the products do not come into contact with non-compatible products (acids and bases, oxidizing and combustible substances, etc).The substances and/or products are - where possible - stored in their original labeled containers.Where this is not possible, the new containers should clearly indicate the content.

In order to keep the quantity of flammable products under control, quantities stored are assessed on a monthly basis, in special areas, of the following products: New and used lubricating and hydraulic

oil


Sec. No. 6


The maximum limits for these, as set out in Ministerial Decree of 16/02/1982 and art. 4 L. 26/07/1965, no. 966 are as follows:

New and used lubricating and hydraulic oil: 0.5 mc (with flashpoint ≥ 65°C)

These limits must be considered when planning purchases.

The recipients of substances and/or chemical products in the liquid state used by maintenance personnel, are placed inside the containment tank at a capacity that at least fills the largest container or, if more than one container is stored at the same time, equal to at least a third of total volume, but however not less than the capacity of the largest container.

Storage of substances/products takes place in areas protected from atmospheric agents.

In the course of its activity, the Company uses LPG gas contained in special tanks.Overall, the tanks contain less than 75 kg of LPG gas.When a tank is empty, it is immediately replaced with a new container with the same quantity of gas in order not to exceed the total quantity of gas stored.In handling the substances and/or solid and/or liquid products, all necessary precautions are taken to contain the risk of spillage.If a spillage does occur, Emergency Procedures shall be implemented.

Primary applicable Legal ProvisionsParliamentary Statute no. 966 of 26/07/1965 Regulates duties, methods of payment and salaries for the national Fire Service for pay services.Ministerial Decree of 16 February 1982 Modification of the ministerial decree of 27 September 1965, on determining which businesses are subject to fire prevention appointments. Presidential Decree no. 37/1998 – Renewal of the fire prevention certificate

5. ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS Emissions subject to authorization within the field of application set out by Presidential Decree no. 203/88 are not present.The Factory’s atmospheric emission can substantially be traced to• Heating systems• Venting from the steam generator• Venting from the chemical dehumidifier• Venting from the air treatment unit in the

clean room• Venting from the evaporation tower• Venting from the dishwasher used to

sterilize knives used for boning and to wash scales and trolleys

• Venting from hot washing the hams• Venting from the package sterilizing

machine

Heating systemsThe Presidential Decree of 25/07/1991

attachment 1 point 21 indicates as low polluting activity and not subject to authorization, each heating system or boiler in a production cycle with power less than 3 Mw if it uses methane.

In the Company, there are 5 boilers with nominal power as follows:

2 boilers (old factory): 1047 kw/each 2 boilers (new factory): 581 kw/each Steam unit: 1395 kw

Pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 152/2006 coming into force, the heating systems not subject to authorization as required by art. 269 paragraph 14(c). The boilers’ performance and emissions into the atmosphere are checked half yearly and the amounts are recorded in the unit books. The systems are also cleaned twice a year.All the other venting emits steam only.

Substances harmful to the ozoneThere are two categories of equipment in the Company:

• Refrigeration systems containing substances harmful to the ozone

• Electrical equipment containing greenhouse gas


Sec. No. 6


Refrigeration systems containing substances harmful to the ozoneThe controls that are performed on all refrigeration systems are shown in the Table.

In addition to these controls, a module is kept updated reporting the quantities and location of the R22, CO2, N2, O2, Argon and Acetylene tanks in the Company.

Control FrequencyControl of the liquid level (condensated gas) 3 times a weekGlycol pressure control in the accumulation tanks 3 times a weekCompressor and warning light manometer control 3 times a weekSeal control for joints and valves using “haloid” lamps and “leak detectors”

weekly

Check office air conditioners yearly

Electrical equipment containing greenhouse gasThe Company uses 12 electrical switches containing sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). These types of switches contain the insulating gas sulphur hexaflouride (SF6) at a pressure of 0.2 bar. This operating pressure is considered to be free from the risk of leaks: the device is considered to have no possible leaks.Given the particular nature of the gas and its use (inside a switch) the seal can be checked only when it is destroyed. Any leakage of the greenhouse gas is signalled by “out of service” by the power switch.

• Outdoor machinery• Compressors• Other technological systems used in

different work stages

Outdoor machinery: There are a number of outdoor air conditioning system units. In particular, there are cooling fans operating 24 hours a day and evaporation towers.Compressors: Some of the systems used are on the ground floor and some in the basement.The compressors are located in closed rooms; this way any noise heard outside the Company is barely perceptible.Technological systems: The chlorination and water softening plant.The plant is situated inside a cement structure; this way any noise heard outside the Company is barely perceptible.

The Company performed an outdoor noise analysis on 21/09/2005 and did not detect any noise levels above legal limits. On 06/11/2007, a new sound level detection measurement was performed for the points affected by major system changes following the expansion of the factory.The noise values detected were within legal limits.Currently, the Municipality of San Daniele has not zoned the area pursuant to DPCM 14 November 1997 as the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region has not yet set out “guidelines” for formulating criteria for noise zoning in the area, therefore the limits set out in DPCM of 01 March 1991 are applicable.Considering that the Company is located in an industrial area, the established limits are 70 dB Leq (A).

The locations monitored and the results of the sound level in 2005 and 2007 are shown in the table in Attachment 10 Section 8.

7. ODOURThis risk may be determined by an accidental obstruction in the drainage system. This emergency should be managed in accordance with emergency management.This risk may also be attributable to process waste (bone and trimmings) and reported by staff. It should however be emphasized that the stores for process waste is refrigerated.Nonetheless, if an obstruction should occur, the following procedure should be followed:

• a specialist company should be contacted to remove the process waste

• the temporary process waste store room should be washed

8. CONTAMINATION OF THE SOIL AND SUBSOIL

The risk of contaminating the soil and subsoil at the site is essentially associated with accidental losses that may occur during handling, storage and use of chemical products, oil and salt. Instructions on procedures for the correct management of storage, use and handing these products are coded in dedicated procedures. Any spillage and accidental dispersal that may occur comes under safety and emergency management.


Sec. No. 6


9. ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONSThe only possible source of electromagnetic emissions at the factory is from the metal detectors located in the slicing department. Controls on the regular functioning of these instruments is performed annually by an external specialist.Measurements are not taken as the sources are confined.


Sec. No. 6


B) Indirect environmental aspects

Identification modeIdentification modes stem from analysis/evaluation of the Company’s activities, products and services that it has

control over, even partially, interacting with third parties in order to reduce the impact on the environment.Identified indirect environmental aspects are shown in the table below:

Indirect Environmental Aspects DetailsAtmospheric emissions Exhaust from vehicles belonging to

suppliers and external maintenance providersEmissions from maintenance performed by external companies and/or construction work

Atmospheric emissions: substances harmful to the ozone

Equipment belonging to third parties circulating inside the company perimeter, containing substances harmful to the ozone

Noise Noise from maintenance operations performed by external companies and/or construction work

Waste and packaging Waste produced by maintenance operations performed by external companies and/or construction workEnd-of-life of packaging used in the sale of Company products.

Contamination of the soil and subsoil Maintenance operations performed by external companies and/or construction work

Criteria for evaluating significanceThe criteria adopted for evaluating the significance of these aspects takes into consideration environmental impact that may derive bearing in mind the following indexes: quantity in play; danger; Importance for Interested Parties. The significance of the aspect considered may be “high” or “low”. This result derives from the evaluations made for each index and ensuing measures performed within the terms indicated directly on Attachment 9 Section 8 (this attachment also supplies indications on factors with a potential impact associated with each indirect environmental aspect).

When the significance index is “high”, the Company activates the prevention process aimed at minimizing the impact deriving from these aspects (for example evaluating and supervising Suppliers also with regard to their environmental performance) and it may define targets for improvements on these aspects.When the significance index is “low”, the Company will merely inform the parties involved (where applicable) and ensure supervision in order to avoid the aspects becoming significant.

Objectives and environmental programmes

General considerationsThe process of evaluating environmental aspects and periodically reviewing the SGA, the Management has established a plan to consolidate the standards it has already attained and to attain new targets for improvement coherent with the Company’s environmental policy, and made the resources available to each Site to implement its plan.The plan may include short-, medium- and long-term objectives, and is updated on an annual basis.Targets for improvement in environmental performance, in addition to considering applicable Legal Provisions and the viewpoint of Interested Parties, are defined with consideration to Organizational strategy, technological available and economic sustainability. Each objective is associated with a particular programme to promote its success.The environmental improvement results already attained by the Principe di San Daniele Factory are outlined in several points of this document. The table below shows the targets that the factory has currently set itself for the three year period 2007 – 2010.

In detail, the objectives implemented in 2007 were:

A. Detection devices and timers were installed to manage lights being turned on and off automatically in the new changing rooms and in the staircase in the extension in order to minimize energy consumption.

B. A twilight detector was installed to manage the outdoor lighting system with the addition of a timed switch that sections the number of lights lit in the night time.

C. Heat probes were installed in the new extension to circulate air using technological means during the process of maturing cured raw ham using outdoor air in place of glycol in dehumidifying the rooms.

D. Management of the evaporation towers was optimised by replacing the old softeners, deemed too small, with new volumetric ones. This technological solution means the evaporation towers can be fed with water with a low concentration of calcium and at the same time it means smaller quantities of chemical products can be used to prevent calcium sediments.

E. A new demineralising osmotic unit was installed to minimize the formation of sludge in the boiler coils. This helps reduce the frequency with which the boilers need to be cleaned and increases performance.

F. A connection between the glycol water in the machinery room in the new extension and the machine room on the 2nd floor of the old factory was designed and installed. The first is runs on new generation refrigerant gas, the second on R22 freon: this way, the older system remains on standby to be used only in the case of an emergency.

G. Workers were trained to handle dangerous substances: the training will in any case be repeated periodically.

H. A new sound level detection system has been developed: in particular, measurements have been repeated in the 4 outdoor locations monitored in 2005 to see whether there have been any changes in terms of acoustic impact after the extension to the factory was built.

I. In some cells (finished boned product store) glycol water systems have replaced R22 Freon systems.

In 2008, the following objectives were met:J. The objective planned for 2009 on

replacing the evaporation condensers was moved forward to 2008 as the existing system was too old. One of the evaporation condensers was replaced by a new generation one


Sec. No. 7


featuring higher performance and greater power to reduce water, methane and energy consumption. As the job was brought forward, the company did not have the resources to complete the project in line with the original plans, in particular adding heaters to recover water for conditioning some cells.

K. Administrative staff were trained on differentiated waste collection of paper and printer and photocopier toner. The training will be repeated periodically.

CommentsWe would like to emphasize that the results of all these improvements implemented in 2007, in particular with regard to reducing energy consumption, are not always evident in number analyses. In fact, since 2007, since the factory extension has been fully operational, we find ourselves in a completely new situation in the plant and therefore also consumption/environmental impact, that cannot be compared to data from previous years.For example, the application of a light meter on a timer to turn off the lights and a twilight detector did not results in an explicit reduction in energy consumption compared to 2006, but it did allow us throughout 2007 and today, to avoid the increases in energy consumption generated by the extension to the factory being greater.

In fact we estimated that the use of a motion detector and a light meter on a timer to turn off the staircase and changing room lights results in a 68.77% energy saving in this regard.The calculation was made considering the light bulbs installed consume 8.7 Kw/hour: if they were to stay on for 16 hours a day (the factory remains operational for 2 work shifts of 8 hours each) after they are turned on in the morning and turned off at night, they would consume 139.2 Kw. With the timer we estimated that they remain on for an extra 5 hours a day consuming 43.5 Kw, with savings of about 68.77%(*).

Installing an external switch to section the number of lights on in the night time means we can save about 63.64% of electricity for the purpose. Indeed, we have 26 bulbs on for an average of 11 hours/night with consumption of 75.9 Kw/hour, while another 11 lights stay on for only 4 hours a night with consumption of 19.2 Kw. If these lights were to stay on the entire night for 11 hours (like the others) they would consume 52.8 Kw. Therefore savings amount to about 63.64%(*).

In the case of energy saving using heat content probes to circulate air using technological means during the process of maturing cured raw ham, the Supplier of our system has estimated that savings amount to 41%(*).

At the end of 2008, a comparison can be made with the previous year with equal operating conditions and plant size, and it will be possible to verify whether improvements have effectively been made.
