In terms of social responsibility, in addition to the measures illustrated above for combating COVID-19, we have been at the forefront in supporting people and local areas, signing agreements with local health authorities and local authorities, steering our corporate welfare system even more towards full support for families, and providing tangible support for the Department of Civil Protection and some of the country’s most important hospitals. In terms of technological development, energy efficiency and reduction of environmental impact, we have undertaken a number of important projects, both in the naval sector and in new business segments, which are proof of our Group’s efforts to expand its expertise. The Genoa Bridge is in this sense one of the most successful examples of technological integration, the result of our diversification strategy and our model for managing complex projects. A project that has become a symbol for the country and an example for the rest of the world, the first smart bridge in Europe - innovative, efficient and sustainable. Letter to Stakeholders Continuing in this vein, I would like to mention the agreement between Fincantieri NexTech, Autostrade Tech and IBM for the implementation of a new-generation system for monitoring motorway infrastructure and keeping it safe. Our fourth Sustainability Report coincides with the most difficult year for the global economy since the Second At the intersection of technology, development and sustainability, how could we not also mention the World War, marked by an unprecedented crisis brought about by the pandemic. And yet, the Greek etymology of the commitment to cyber security. Fincantieri NexTech has been awarded a European tender to supply a word crisis carries with it choice, presupposes change, and is a harbinger of new opportunities. programmable emulator for checking the effectiveness of countermeasures in electronic defense systems. In this sense, 2020 can be considered as the year of Sustainability for Fincantieri since it has entered more than ever into every aspect of the Company’s life. We have put in place cutting-edge protocols to combat the Coronavirus As regards the design and production of specialized ships, construction continues at Castellamare di Stabia and protect the health of our workers, which have represented a reference point for all Italian industry - as I was on Zeus, the first prototype hydrogen-powered ship, developed in collaboration with the National Research proud to illustrate to the President of the Republic - and not only, since a well-known defense magazine praised the Council (CNR), the Universities of Genoa, Palermo and Naples, the National Research and Promotion Agency management of the COVID-19 emergency at our US shipyards. for Standardization and RINA, as part of the “Technologies with low environmental impact” (TECBIA) project We were among the first to stop operations during the lockdown, promoting smart working in all our locations, co-financed by the Italian Ministry for Economic Development. A commitment also mentioned by the European and among the first to restart, continuing to work safely where it was not possible to stop work. One example is Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson: “I see the beginnings of a revolution for a new hydrogen economy, and I the Genoa Bridge yard, where, thanks to the application of strict measures, we have not recorded a single case of would like to thank Fincantieri, which has started work on the first Zero Emission Ultimate Ship.” infection among our employees. For our core business, we installed new air sanitation systems on board cruise ships, in partnership with the prestigious virology laboratory ICGEB (International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology) based in The Group’s efforts on sustainability have been recognised and rewarded by various independent bodies: CDP - Trieste. Carbon Disclosure Project, the leading agency in the fight against climate change, awarded us the highest rating, A-, Through our subsidiary VARD, we signed three new contracts with a strong green element. They include the and Vigeo Eiris confirmed the Group’s position in the “Advanced” range. design and construction of a Service Operation Vessel, the first of its kind in Asia, designed for marine wind farm Other important recognitions in this field came from the German Institute for Quality and Finance, which included maintenance activities; a highly innovative cable laying vessel; and eight robotic vessels, intended to provide our Company among the 200 best employers in the research “Italy's Best Employers for Women”; moreover, maritime services in the US and UK. Fincantieri was awarded the Oscar di Bilancio 2020 assigned by FERPI, Borsa Italiana and Università Bocconi, and We have introduced a new family of thrusters, setting a new state of the art in terms of comfort, reliability, the Most Innovative Knowledge Enterprise (MIKE) Award, one of the most prestigious recognitions for business environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. It is in this context that I would like to mention an important innovation. order for a series of supplies and installations of high-profile equipment for the International Thermonuclear In continuing this virtuous path aimed at achieving sustainable “success”, we have further integrated the Business Experimental Reactor (ITER), a project to build a unique experimental nuclear fusion reactor, one of the most Plan’s strategy with the Sustainability Plan, with the aim of pursuing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ambitious initiatives in the world in the field of renewable energy.

A Memorandum of Understanding with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti and ENI for the development of joint projects within the circular economy, aimed at implementing technological solutions to combat marine litter, which compromises the marine and coastal ecosystem due to floating plastic waste and microplastics. The aim of the agreement is to study and develop technologies for collecting waste dispersed at sea but also on land, through the optimization of urban waste and the production of sustainable energy for mobility and industrial use.
