Quando parliamo di sostenibilità, ci riferiamo anzitutto a tre diverse aree: ambiente, persone e comunità. In ognuna di esse abbiamo conseguito risultati importanti, che meritano di essere richiamati e commentati. Riteniamo sostenibile solo la crescita che rispetta l’ambiente in cui viviamo: su questo fronte abbiamo fatto ulteriori passi avanti, consolidando la nostra leadership. Rispetto al 2011, i nostri stabilimenti in tutto il mondo hanno ridotto le emissioni di CO2 di circa 230.000 tonnellate; inoltre sono stati risparmiati oltre 2 miliardi di metri cubi di acqua, applicando sistemi di ricircolo che hanno permesso di ridurne drasticamente i consumi. Per il terzo anno consecutivo un motore prodotto da Chrysler (il Pentastar V-6) è stato eletto negli Stati Uniti tra i più efficienti in termini di emissioni e consumi, mentre per il sesto anno consecutivo il brand Fiat si è confermato leader europeo per le più basse emissioni di CO2 tra i marchi automobilistici più venduti Fiat S.p.A., che già nel 2011 era stata riconosciuta tra i leader mondiali per l’impegno e i risultati nella lotta ai cambiamenti climatici, è stata ammessa al Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index Italy 100 e al Carbon Performance Leadership Index Italy 100. Parlando delle persone che lavorano con noi, siamo convinti che la diversità di culture e di esperienze costituisca una ricchezza preziosa per Fiat-Chrysler. Per questo motivo abbiamo sostenuto numerose iniziative che favoriscono l’inclusione sociale e promuovono i valori del multiculturalismo. Sul fronte della sicurezza, c’è un dato che mi fa piacere registrare: per il sesto anno consecutivo, gli incidenti sul lavoro nei nostri stabilimenti evidenziano un netto calo, sia in termini di frequenza che di gravità. In due anni, in particolare, il loro numero si è dimezzato, confermando l’importanza, anche a questo fine, della puntuale applicazione degli standard di salute e di sicurezza previsti dal World Class Manufacturing. Per lavorare in modo più sicuro e efficiente, dalle persone che lavorano nei nostri stabilimenti abbiamo ricevuto nel 2012 circa 1.200.000 suggerimenti: un numero molto grande, che dimostra quanto sia sentito e condiviso questo nostro impegno. 7 Un impegno che portiamo avanti in ognuna delle comunità dove siamo presenti, anche attraverso il finanziamento di progetti finalizzati a migliorare la vita dei nostri stakeholder, soprattutto nell’ambito dell’istruzione. Dei circa 21 milioni di euro stanziati da Fiat-Chrysler nel 2012 per sostenere le comunità locali, più della metà hanno riguardato proprio iniziative legate all’educazione dei più giovani e alla cultura. Questo vale per le comunità dove la nostra presenza è ormai consolidata e anche per quelle in cui stiamo muovendo i primi passi: il coinvolgimento di oltre 800 persone nell’area di Goiana (Pernambuco, in Brasile), dove stiamo costruendo un nuovo stabilimento, è il segno della nostra volontà di contribuire concretamente alla vita e al futuro delle nostre comunità attraverso la condivisione dei progetti e la partecipazione. Nelle pagine seguenti troverete molti altri dati: tutti insieme concorrono a disegnare i confini di ciò che noi intendiamo per sviluppo sostenibile. Non si tratta di un tema secondario o transitorio, ma di un impegno concreto e destinato a durare nel tempo, su cui il nostro Gruppo lavora da anni e per il quale continuerà a lavorare anche nel futuro. /f/ John Elkann IL PRESIDENTE John Elkann 8 L’impegno Lettera del Gruppo dell’Amministratore Delegato Lettera dell’Amministratore Delegato Cari Stakeholder, l’impegno a operare in modo responsabile e la promozione di un modello di sviluppo sostenibile sono parte della tradizione e dei valori di Fiat-Chrysler. La nostra strategia di sostenibilità è pienamente integrata nel modello di business e anche nel 2012 ha stimolato progetti e iniziative per rispondere alle esigenze sempre più diversificate e in continua evoluzione degli stakeholder del Gruppo. Il processo di integrazione tra Fiat e Chrysler ha permesso di ampliare e consolidare ulteriormente l’impegno verso i temi della sostenibilità, facendo leva sui rispettivi punti di forza e condividendo le migliori pratiche. La nostra attenzione si concentra su alcune aree di particolare importanza: la promozione di una mobilità sempre più sostenibile, la protezione dell’ambiente e delle risorse naturali anche attraverso processi produttivi a basso impatto ambientale, la tutela della salute e della sicurezza delle persone, la valorizzazione del loro percorso professionale, la continua ricerca di un rapporto reciprocamente proficuo e in armonia con le comunità locali e con i propri partner. Il Bilancio di Sostenibilità e il Piano di Sostenibilità sono lo strumento con cui, ogni anno, ci impegniamo ufficialmente e pubblicamente con i nostri stakeholder a rispondere alle loro aspettative in un’ottica di trasparenza e collaborazione. Nel 2012 il Gruppo si è nuovamente affermato come leader di sostenibilità, ottenendo riconoscimenti dalle principali società di rating e organizzazioni internazionali. Per il quarto anno consecutivo, Fiat è stata confermata negli indici Dow Jones Sustainability World e Europe, i più prestigiosi indici borsistici ai quali accedono solo le società con le migliori performance nelle dimensioni economica, ambientale e sociale. Il Gruppo ha ottenuto il massimo punteggio nella maggior parte delle aree di analisi della dimensione ambientale e, in particolare, per la strategia di contrasto ai cambiamenti climatici, e, nella sezione sociale, per lo sviluppo e la gestione del capitale umano, la salute e la sicurezza sul luogo di lavoro, il coinvolgimento degli stakeholder e il supporto alle comunità locali. Inoltre, a conferma degli sforzi fatti nel contrastare i cambiamenti climatici, Fiat è stata ammessa anche nel Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) Italy 100 e nel Carbon Performance Leadership Index

  • Evaluating the Effect of US Domestic Content Requirements
    Cross-Border Markets: Evaluating the Effect of U.S. Domestic Content Requirements on the U.S.-Canada Economic Partnership WSHDC-RFP-004 September 15, 2017 Submitted by The Trade Partnership 1701 K Street, NW Suite 575 Washington, DC 20006 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study examines the effeCt of U.S. domestiC Content requirements on the U.S.-Canada eConomiC partnership. We examine the impaCts by ConduCting in-depth interviews with offiCials at Companies with signifiCant Cross-border trade where domestiC Content requirements do (e.g., Buy America or Buy AmeriCan rules) or Could (e.g., proposed rule requiring U.S. steel in pipelines) shape supply chains. We also spoke to U.S. government agenCies whose proCurement is subjeCt to suCh rules. We found: U.S. domestic content requirements can impact U.S. companies by limiting sourcing options and increasing product costs, both of which negatively impact U.S. jobs and competitiveness. • Buy AmeriCa requirements Can prevent Companies from purChasing some inputs from preferred suppliers, even if few alternative U.S. suppliers exist. • Many U.S. manufaCturing jobs exist in spite, not beCause, of domestiC Content requirements. • DomestiC Content requirements Can Create additional ComplianCe Costs for Companies selling similar produCts to both CommerCial and federally funded projeCts. • Taking additional steps to Comply with domestiC Content requirements Can inCrease the priCe of goods signifiCantly without leading to a similar increase in U.S. jobs. Proposed domestic content changes that could prevent companies from sourcing from Canada would disrupt existing supply chains and harm many U.S. businesses, particularly in the short term.

    Departamento Académico de Administración Trabajo de Licenciatura en Administración de Empresas “Creación de valor en la adquisición Grupo Fiat – Grupo Chrysler” Alumno: Nicolás Marino Legajo: 20138 Mentor: Jorge Fantín Buenos Aires, mayo de 2012 1 “A car for every purse and purpose.” Alfred P. Sloan 2 Resumen ejecutivo En el año 2009, el Grupo Fiat adquirió al Grupo Chrysler, sumándose así a la larga lista de fusiones y adquisiciones que han habido en la industria automotriz. Por un lado se tiene al Grupo Fiat que estaba buscando convertirse en un verdadero jugador a nivel mundial luego de redireccionar su estrategia en 2004 bajo el mando de Sergio Marchionne. Por el otro lado, el Grupo Chrysler se encontraba deteriorado como consecuencia de una serie de malas experiencias, entre las cuales podemos mencionar las siguientes: la fallida fusión con Daimler-Benz AG, una mala administración por parte de Cerberus Capital Management y la crisis automotriz americana del 2008. El presente trabajo buscar estudiar los impulsores estratégicos de esta adquisición y las posibles sinergias que se podrían desprender de ellos. A su vez se analizan los riesgos que hay que tener en cuenta y que podrían comprometer el éxito de la misma. Este trabajo de graduación muestra que son muchas las sinergias que se podrían dar entre los dos Grupos, abriendo la posibilidad de que el ente combinando se convierta en una de las automotrices lideres en el plano mundial. Pero hay muchas consideraciones a tener en cuenta. Por un lado hay diversos factores de riesgos relacionados a las dos automotrices y situaciones generales del mercado.

  • FIAT SPA Case Study Copenhagen Business School
    MSc. in Economics and Business Administration Cand. merc. Strategy, Organization and Leadership “From International to Global” – FIAT S.P.A. case study Student: Marco Marinozzi 05/09/2014 Supervisor: Christer Karlsson Ph.D. Number of pages: 87 Number of characters: 237,861 Copenhagen Business School – 2014 1 Abstract We live in a World of uncertainty, where business cycles are shortening and competition is increasing, requiring companies and their strategies to be suitable to continuous changes and adaptations. Just like it happened in other sectors, the economic crisis Western economies have been experiencing in these years heavily influenced the Automotive Industry’s dynamics. The Car Industry is in fact strongly linked to the business cycles, as showed also by Haugh et al. (2010). The sector has always been characterized by a high intensity of rivalry, and such rivalry and increasing concentration will inevitably lead to a struggle for survival out of which only a few groups will emerge. The industry is capital intensive and with a high capital-to-labor ratio. In the past years production has been moving increasingly towards emerging countries particularly due to decentralization processes and outsourcing. The outsourcing phenomenon is also provoking shifts and changes along the industry’s value chain, with suppliers gaining more and more power. The saturation of traditional markets, accompanied with an overall negative business cycle, is pushing car- makers to look for new ways to sustain their production, currently affected by over-capacity problems in many regions of the World. Many Automotive Industry’s CEOs are aware of the fact that change has to take place within companies in order to face the Globalization of Markets, but the majority of them don’t believe such transformation should include activities like mergers, acquisitions or alliances, as showed by a study conducted by Price Waterhouse Cooper (2014).
