The charts show the quantities of ozone-depleting
substances held at factories. These amounts do not
reflect the changes and top-ups made during the year, but
rather the total quantities contained in cooling equipment
- mostly comprising the refrigerant gases used for
industrial and civil purposes. The seals of such equipment
are checked as part of specific preventive maintenance
programmes, in order to minimise any leakages.
The information for 2012 reflects full implementation of
the Group's data gathering tools following the union of
Prysmian and Draka in 2011. In particular, the 2011 total did
not reflect the contribution made by a number of factories
that were fully included within the scope of reporting from
the current year.
In addition - with regard to the Telecom sector - the
majority (about 70%) of ozone-depleting gases are
concentrated at 2 factories, which implement the
preventive maintenance programme mentioned above.
