2021-07-21 The Hera Group ranks 5th internationally among the Utility Networks assessed by this rating agency’s Sustainable Finance analysts, thanks to its focus on sustainability, which has characterised the Group since its establishment, and its ability to manage risks and opportunities https://eng.gruppohera.it/group_eng/investor-relations/hera-stock Hera stock After being included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, World and Europe, in 2020, the Hera Group has once again confirmed its standing as one of the companies most attentive to sustainability and ESG aspects internationally. Hera’s ESG Evaluation, carried out by the Sustainable Finance analysts of S&P Global Ratings, was indeed published today. This is a cross-industry assessment of a company’s ability to effectively manage, over the medium and long term, its exposure to environmental, social and governance risks, as well as to seize opportunities arising from the changes occurring in a constantly evolving international context. The Hera Group is the first company in Italy to publish its ESG Evaluation, in which it obtained an overall score of 81/100, making it one of the top fifteen companies assessed internationally by S&P Global Ratings. The score obtained (81) places it well above the international (68) and European (73) average and ranks Hera fifth internationally among Utility Networks (with the sector average coming to 74). This is a further important recognition of the attention that the Hera Group pays to ESG aspects in pursuing its strategy of sustainable, long-term growth, which has characterised it since it was established in 2002, which complements and goes hand in hand with its financial solidity, confirmed by its recent rating upgrade. In particular, in the ESG Evaluation, the Hera Group is assessed by S&P Global Ratings as being strongly prepared to implement its growth and development strategy, ready to face the potential risks deriving from regulations in an economy that is moving towards the circular model, with low emissions, supporting the resilience of its well-diversified business model. Among the Group’s most distinctive factors, the following were positively evaluated: a robust governance, characterised by a high level of independence and transparency; a proven ability to anticipate change and a solid track record in setting and achieving targets; an ability to capitalise on the principles of the circular economy by investing in technology and innovation, with results exceeding its peers; a long-term growth strategy anchored to sustainability principles (by creating shared value, in line with the goals on the UN 2030 Agenda); a good level of diversity, thanks to a high percentage of women in managerial positions, and the inclusive approach to local communities, through their constant engagement thanks to targeted initiatives.

2021-07-07 The two companies have partnered to form a NewCo for transforming organic waste and agro-food wastewater into 100% renewable methane and compost, using a plant equipped with the most efficient technologies and in line with circular economy principles. A 28 million Euro investment has been allocated. Hera and INALCA (Cremonini Group) together to produce biomethane Hera Group's subsidiary Herambiente, the national leader in the waste management sector, and the company INALCA (Cremonini Group), leader in meat production and food distribution, signed a partnership agreement to set up the NewCo BIORG for the production of biomethane, a 100% renewable fuel, and compost from the sorted-waste collection of organic and food waste. Through an investment of approximately 28 million Euro, a site owned by Herambiente in Spilamberto, in the Modena area, will be renovated using the best available technologies. The biomethane production plant will be operational by 2022. After the pioneering experience in Sant’Agata Bolognese (BO) launched in 2018, the Hera Group is thus continuing to develop its biomethane supply chain, with the aim of producing more than 15.5 million cubic metres per year by 2024, more than doubling the current volume. The partnership will generate significant environmental benefits, including for the local area In particular, in line with the Group’s emphasis on all aspects of environmental sustainability, the Spilamberto plant will not require using new land. The natural gas will be generated by the anaerobic digestion of organic waste from the Hera Group's sorted waste collection and waste from the processing of the agro-food industry, including the meat production cycle of INALCA, a company controlled by the Cremonini Group. When fully operational, production is expected to be 3.7 million cubic metres of biomethane per year, which will be injected into the gas network and returned to the local area for automotive use. The resulting environmental benefits are significant: each year approximately 3,000 TOE (tons of oil equivalent) of fossil fuel will be saved and approximately 7,000 tons of atmospheric CO2 emissions will be avoid. The operation will also enable the recovery of materials as well as energy. Instead of being disposed of, the waste resulting from the anaerobic digestion process, technically called solid digestate, will be further recovered, transferring it to the composting plant in Nonantola (MO) - currently owned by the Cremonini Group and to be transferred to BIORG - to produce approximately 18,000 tons of compost per year, which may be used as a biofertiliser in agriculture. Thanks to this NewCo, therefore, the Group will be able to make tangible contributions to the local-area circular economy in keeping with the guidelines of the recent PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) which promotes and supports the construction of new facilities for the production of biofuels. “The Hera Group has always been at the forefront in promoting environmental sustainability and the circular economy: all our projects go in this direction, while at the same time fostering innovation and the growth both of the company and the areas in which we operate” - states Andrea Ramonda, CEO of Herambiente. “Regarding the development of the biomethane chain in particular, our agreement with a first-class partner such as INALCA represents a further step forward for us after having established the first plant ever built in Italy by a multi-utility to produce biomethane on an industrial scale, the one in Sant’Agata Bolognese. Thanks to the know-how gained through this facility, we are always aiming at new initiatives for a circular economy transition, in line with our Strategic Plan up to 2024”. “This agreement consolidates and strengthens INALCA’s integrated and sustainable production model," the company’s CEO Luigi Scordamaglia explained. “In fact, the new plant allows the processing waste from our production activities to be fully exploited, confirming INALCA’s ‘zero waste’ commitment. In addition, an effective industrial synergy is achieved, with the production of biomethane and composting in two perfectly complementary plants. For this reason, this agreement with a company with know-how and state-of-the-art technologies such as Hera proves that only true innovation can generate the competitive sustainability that reduces impact on the environment while at the same time generating higher added value for the entire livestock sector”. The Hera Group is one of the largest Italian multi-utilities and operates in the waste-management, energy and water sectors, with over 9,000 employees who are committed every day to meeting the multiple needs of approximately 5 million citizens located mainly in Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Marche, Tuscany and Abruzzo. Listed since 2003, it joined the FTSE MIB on 18 March 2019 and the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, World and Europe, on 23 November 2020. Its subsidiary Herambiente is the leading national operator in the waste management sector, with approximately 90 state-of-the-art plants that treat all types of waste. For additional information: https://eng.gruppohera.it; http://ha.gruppohera.it/?lang=2 INALCA S.p.A. is a Cremonini Group's company, European leader in the production of beef and processed meat products, cured meats, bacon and snacks (with the brands Inalca, Montana, Manzotin, Italia Alimentari, Fiorani and Ibis), and in the international distribution of top-quality food products (Inalca Food & Beverage). The company, which controls the entire production chain from breeding to distribution and is jointly controlled by the Italian state through Cdp Equity (Cassa Depositi & Prestiti Group), recorded revenues of EUR 2,121.5 million € in 2020, 30% of which from exports. Its industrial structure consists of 21 production plants (16 of which are in Italy and 5 abroad) and 26 logistical distribution platforms. It includes 9 farms (7 of which are in Italy and 2 abroad) and more than 100 breeding farms, for a total of 180,000 animals raised annually.

2021-06-30 The Hera Group has consolidated its leadership in industrial waste treatment and extended its scope of operations in northern Italy thanks to the acquisition of this Friuli-based company. Including the two further transactions to be completed within the summer, the final consolidated contribution to Hera's Ebitda is estimated at approximately 20 million euro. Hera The Hera Group, through its subsidiary Herambiente, Italy’s leading operator in waste treatment and recovery, has acquired 70% of Recycla, a Friuli-based company that manages three platforms for solid and liquid industrial waste, whose central offices are in Maniago (PN). This transaction will confirm Herambiente’s position as a key operator in the sector and allow it to offer its across-the-board waste treatment solutions to new customers. Through its company Hasi (Herambiente Servizi Industriali), Italy’s largest industrial waste management company, Herambiente has thus consolidated and expanded its facilities serving businesses, with 15 multifunctional sites dedicated to the treatment of waste produced by companies and 1.2 million tonnes of industrial waste treated each year. Important synergies are expected with its industrial centres in Pisa Province and at Ravenna, which have already been operational for some time. More specifically, the Maniago platform for solid and liquid industrial waste handles over 40,000 tonnes per year of waste produced by companies. In line with the principles of the circular economy, this waste is pre-treated to optimise its characteristics and is mainly destined for energy recovery or chemical-physical treatment. Therefore, only 3% of the waste entering the platform is disposed of in landfills. This transaction, which follows the acquisitions completed in recent years (from Waste Recycling, Teseco and Pistoia Ambiente in Tuscany and Geo Nova and Aliplast in Treviso), is a new step in Herambiente’s continuous growth in the industrial waste treatment sector. This development will be further strengthened by two agreements already signed with companies operating in the Marche and Veneto regions in the same industrial sector, which will be finalised within the summer. When fully operational, thanks to these three transactions, an additional 350,000 tonnes of industrial waste produced by 3,300 new customers will be treated each year, and the contribution to the Hera Group’s Ebitda will come to approximately 20 million euro when the transactions are finalised. The strategic priority of Herambiente, which can count on a total of roughly 90 certified, state-of-the-art plants that combine efficiency, cost competitiveness and sustainability, is to offer companies waste treatment solutions in line with the circular economy. The new acquisitions, therefore, respect this strategic orientation and will guarantee positive returns in the areas served and economic benefits for customers. Lastly, all these transactions share a rationale that is part of Herambiente Servizi Industriali’s DNA: remaining close to its customers. Integrating these new platforms with the current set of plants will increase the wide availability of solutions in areas served for years by Herambiente, improving the efficiency and quality of services for local businesses. “With this acquisition, we continue to pursue our significant strategic development in the industrial waste sector, guaranteeing service continuity and competitiveness for companies,” comments Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano, Executive Chairman of the Hera Group. “In the upcoming months, we will close transactions with two further important companies operating in this sector. Taken as a whole, these three transactions will involve a total investment of 122 million euro and will add 200 qualified resources to our Group”.
