In a macroeconomic scenario still suffering from the effects of the crisis, Ansaldo STS confi rms its intention to maintain a business management model, the economic targets of which satisfy the requirements for sustainable growth in terms of the interaction between ethics, governance and fi nance. Environment, health and social relations are expressed in new demands for a high quality of life and in a context of increasing urbanisation and population growth: Ansaldo STS responds as a leader in the markets of railway and metro mass transit systems, considering these needs as growth opportunities for the industry in which it operates. The response of Ansaldo STS is based on the natural passion of a group and of its management which pursues the goal to enhance quality of life through concrete solutions for the benefi t of the community. The equilibrium between these needs and the economic-fi nancial objectives forms an integral part of our corporate culture and the audited 2010 Sustainability Report, the second such document following the 2009 report, demonstrates the sensitivity and the continuous commitment of Ansaldo STS to achieving its objectives for the creation of value for Shareholders and for the protection of the interests of all other Stakeholders. Alessandro Pansa Chairman of Ansaldo STS S.S.p.A.p.A. 4 Ansaldo STS | Sustainability Report 2010 Chief Executive Offi cer’s letter The sustainability of business activities, as with any other human activity, is a matter of common sense. It is common sense to be committed to making Ansaldo STS a good place to work, so as to allow our people to give their best in pursuing corporate objectives. In 2010 we adopted a global and integrated model for the development of human resources aimed at guaranteeing consistent and uniform professional growth opportunities for all employees. It is common sense to try to understand the needs and strategies of our clients, in order to be able to create solutions of excellence that fully satisfy them, thus building a track record of success which is our best hallmark for gaining access to new markets. At the end of 2010 we acquired an important order for the construction of a new line of the Copenhagen Metro: this client’s satisfaction with the construction of a previous line, which was recognised as one of the most state-of- the-art in the world, certainly played a key role in this success. It is common sense to pursue positive economic and fi nancial performance, protecting our margins and the interests of our shareholders, so as to be able to continue to invest in the excellence of products and project execution. Since the Ansaldo STS stock was fi rst listed on the Milan stock exchange in March 2006, the company has shown continuous improvement in Revenues, Orders, EBIT and Net Profi t year after year. It is common sense to act ethically and prevent and possibly punish any fraudulent conduct which might damage, either internally or externally, a reputation that has been gained over 150 years. It is common sense to work in close and considerate cooperation with our suppliers so that our success is also their success and vice versa. It is common sense to take care of fi nancial and non-fi nancial communication in a prompt and precise manner, so that our value emerges naturally to the outside world, thus strengthening our reputation. It is with this perspective that we have adopted sustainability reporting with the fi rst report prepared for 2009 followed by this one for 2010. It is common sense to act with respect for the environment and for the safety of our workers, considering that our company itself is active in the industry of safety in mass transit, as these are simply the pre-conditions for operating. Common sense has no geographic boundaries and we adopt it in our actions throughout the world, sometimes exceeding the basic legal requirements on the issues of environment and safety. Of course, it may not be easy to apply this common sense but we will do it to the best of our ability. Sergio De Luca CEO of Ansaldo STS S.p.A. 5 Reporting methodology Reporting methodology The 2010 Sustainability Report of the Ansaldo STS Group reports, for the second consecutive year, the economic, social and environmental impact of management operations. The methodology adopted refers directly to the "Sustainability Reporting Guidelines of the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) version 3.0." In order to ensure a balanced and fair reporting of its performances, the cross-functional Project Group of Ansaldo STS, which was set up in 2009 for preparing the fi rst Sustainability Report, has examined the application of GRI principles which defi ne content and quality of reporting. Materiality – In order to defi ne the topics and indicators used in this report, Ansaldo STS has taken into account all the economic, environmental and social impacts of its business which could affect the assessments and the decisions of its Stakeholders. The importance assigned in the report to different issues refl ects the degree of infl uence that such issues could have on the ability to satisfy the needs of current generations without jeopardising the needs of future generations. The determination of the relevant aspects accounted for in this report refl ects a combination of factors both internal and external to the organisation.
