What Is Gold's Value? What is gold’s value? Letter from the CEO We at Argor-Heraeus have always given equal value to sustainability and the materials we process. A value that is reflected in the way we all work every day, and that we have now decided to make official in this document. What led us to this decision? Time has shown that we have taken the right path: we are a mature Company, assuming our responsibilities for our economic, social, and environmental impact. Nevertheless, to be socially responsible for all purposes and effects we have understood that it is essential to go beyond the limits of our organisation and that of our business partners. We must transmit our commitment to institutions, to the public, and to the media, i.e., to everyone for which Argor-Heraeus’s commitment to sustainability may have value. Therefore, this first Sustainability Report stems from our desire to offer society at large a presentation made of words, numbers, and images that explain our social-environmental commitment and provide a trans- parent assessment of whether our annual goals for improvement have been achieved. With this important promise, we all pledge to improve the sustainability and efficiency of a market on which we have operated for sixty years. 2 3 ARGOR-HERAEUS SA Overview Via Moree 14 Guide to the report 6 CH-6850 Mendrisio Tel. +41 91 640 53 53 Our history 8 Fax +41 91 646 80 82 Our shareholders 10 [email protected] The Group 11 Corporate governance 12 Our operations 13 Accreditations and recognitions 14 Our stakeholders 16 Our approach to sustainability 20 Economic responsibility Distribution of added value 22 Suppliers of services and accessory products 24 Our customers 26 Environmental responsibility Water consumption 28 Chemical consumption 32 Energy consumption 36 Emissions 40 Waste material, packing materials, noise 42 Social responsibility Composition of personnel 44 Health and safety at the workplace 48 Training 50 Activities with our stakeholders 52 4 5 Guide to the report Scope.

Quinn: Canton Ticino And The Italian Swiss Immigration To California Canton Ticino and the Italian Swiss Immigration to California by Tony Quinn “The southernmost of Switzerland’s twenty-six cantons, the Ticino, may speak Italian, sing Italian, eat Italian, drink Italian and rival any Italian region in scenic beauty—but it isn’t Italy,” so writes author Paul Hofmann1 describing the one Swiss canton where Italian is the required language and the cultural tie is to Italy to the south, not to the rest of Switzerland to the north. Unlike the German and French speaking parts of Switzerland with an identity distinct from Germany and France, Italian Switzerland, which accounts for only five percent of the country, clings strongly to its Italian heritage. But at the same time, the Ticinese2 are fully Swiss, very proud of being part of Switzerland, and with an air of disapproval of Italy’s ever present government crises and its tie to the European Union and the Euro zone, neither of which Ticino has the slightest interest in joining.
