Environment

In the procurement phase of raw materials/parts, the main impact comes from the related production and distribution which involves direct and indirect CO₂ emissions, water consumption and waste production.

In the production phase, the greatest impacts are linked to the consumption of electricity and natural gas, which cause direct and indirect CO₂ emissions, the consumption of water mainly linked to painting and the amounts of waste produced. All these impacts are monitored and reported.

In the distribution phase, the impact derives from the fuel consumption of vehicles used to transport finished products, spare parts and accessories.

In the phase of use by customers, the impact derives from the fuel consumption of the vehicles and possible disposal of consumables and worn parts. Although these impacts are difficult for the Group to monitor, Piaggio has made estimates to calculate the emissions resulting from the use of its products sold. Piaggio promotes safe and responsible driving and designs vehicles that are increasingly environmentally friendly.

In the disposal phase, the impact derives from dismantling the various parts for their recovery or disposal. All vehicles are designed for effective disposal at end of life. The Group's vehicles are particularly durable.
