Scart110 The winning companies of the Corporate Art Awards 2017 are, today, receiving their awards at the Ministry of Cultural Heritage in Rome. Those companies include the Hera Group. The multiutility has won this recognition thanks to SCART, an artistic/communication project that focuses on creating works of art and installations out of waste. In illustrating the reasons for the award, the judges stated that SCART represents "the world's leading corporate Waste Art project in terms of breadth, originality and continuity over the years". Hera thus joins the ranks of other leading companies (which received the applause of none other than the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella) that have demonstrated excellence in international projects designed to bring the business and art worlds together. Conceived by Maurizio Giani and now with a twenty-year tradition behind it, the SCART project is part of the Hera Group's broader commitment to the circular economy. It boasts a Waste Art collection now over 900 pieces strong that include costumes, pictures, furnishing items, musical instruments and much more besides. Involved in numerous national and international exhibitions, SCART works alongside major research and training institutes such as the Accademie di Belle Arti of Florence and Bologna, as well as internationally renowned artists and critics. Moreover, many of the works created as part of the SCART project embellish offices and other workplaces within the Group, making them an integral part of the way customers are welcomed (as the recent Hera stands at the Ecomondo fair in Rimini and FICO in Bologna clearly demonstrate). With 6.9 million tons of waste processed, a vast pool of processing plants and 3.3 million citizens served, the Hera Group is Italy's number one waste management provider. By placing particular emphasis on industrial waste, SCART makes a sound contribution to building on these results. It does so by using an array of artworks to raise expected standards and by having a positive impact on the way we see recycling and re-utilisation. To get a clearer idea of what the SCART project is all about you can visit the travelling "SCART, il lato bello e utile del rifiuto" show free of charge. Following its success in Ravenna, Imola and Modena, the show is now in Udine at the Tina Modotti Gallery until 30 November. From 7 December to 15 February 2018 the works will be on display at the Chamber of Commerce in Pisa.

This growth, continuous since the first quarter, confirms the validity of the Group's multi-business model and of its strategy, that seeks for balance between internal and external growth. In particular, the statements for the first nine months of 2017 show the beneficial results of the entry of the companies Aliplast and Gran Sasso within the Group's scope of operations, and of the tenders awarded for 2017-2018 last resort, default and safeguarded supply services. Revenues rise, reaching € 4,027.8 million In the third quarter of 2017, revenues came to € 4,027.8 million, up 11.4% compared to the € 3,615.5 million recorded at 30 September 2016. In line with the positive macro-economic framework, this year profited from the entry of Aliplast and Gran Sasso within the Group, as well as from the positive effects ensuing from a higher trading activities, an increase in electricity price, a rise in volumes of gas sold and higher regulated revenues in the water sector. EBITDA increases to € 724.7 million The Group's consolidated EBITDA at 30 September 2017 grew from € 650.6 to € 724.7 million (+11.4%). The good performance coming from all Group areas is responsible for this result, in particular from the Energy business, which benefitted from higher profits in power generation and in safeguarded and default market sales. Positive results were also reached in the integrated water cycle and waste areas, thanks above all to the acquisition of Aliplast. Ebit and pre-tax profits up, financial management improves EBIT grew to € 357.9 million, against the € 329.2 million seen at 30 September 2016 (+8.7%), while pre-tax profits rose to € 283.4 million compared to € 239.1 million at the same date one year earlier (+18.5%), thanks to improvements in financial management. In particular, this good performance reflects a more efficient financial structure, partially obtained through the liability management operations carried out during the previous year. Net profit post minorities increases to € 182.9 million (+28.6%) Profits pertaining to Group Shareholders rose to € 182.9 million, against € 142.2 million at 30 September 2016 (+28.6%), thanks among other things to a 32% tax rate, notably better than the same figure for the previous year (due to a lower Ires rate and a continuous search for tax efficiency following the enlargement of the Group's scope of operations). Approximately € 280 million in investments, net debt essentially stable The Group's operating investments at 30 September 2017, including capital grants, amount to € 277.1 million, up compared to the same period in 2016 and in line with the business plan's forecast. Operating investments involved above all interventions on plants, networks and infrastructures, in addition to regulatory adaptations mainly concerning gas distribution, with a large-scale meter substitution, and the purification and sewerage area. Net debt came to € 2,610.0 million at 30 September 2017, with a slight reduction compared to first half of 2017 and remaining fundamentally stable with respect to the € 2,558.9 million recorded at 31 December 2016, considering the funds allocated to dividend payments and M&A operations. Gas EBITDA for Gas, which includes services in natural gas and LPG distribution and sales, district heating and heat management, came to € 201.4 million at 30 September 2017, up 8.0% over the same date one year earlier, thanks to growth in trading, higher volumes of gas sold and the larger scope of operations in the default service. The number of gas customers in the first nine months of 2017 totalled 1.4 million, rising by 3.9% over the same period in 2016, partially due to the acquisition of the company Gran Sasso (located in Abruzzo region). The Gas business accounted for 27.8% of Group EBITDA. Water cycle The integrated water cycle, which includes aqueduct, purification and sewerage services, recorded a 2.6% increase in EBITDA, going from the € 173.7 seen at 30 September 2016 to € 178.3 at the same date in 2017, thanks to higher revenues from distribution, in spite of increased operating costs and lower revenues from new connections. The integrated water cycle accounted for 24.6% of Group EBITDA. Waste The results reached in the Waste, which includes services in waste collection, treatment, recovery and disposal, show rising figures, with EBITDA going from € 172.2 million at 30 September 2016 to € 181.4 million at the same date in 2017 (+5.3%). This performance is due to higher volumes commercialised in waste treatment, a positive trend in the price of special waste and the entry within the Group of Aliplast, a national leader in plastic recycling, which consolidated the Group's position regarding the development of a circular economy. These results are all the more appreciable considering that they suffer from a lower contribution coming from incentives for renewable and assimilated sources, by roughly € 8 million. Further growth was also seen in sorted waste, which went from 55.8% at 30 September 2016 to 56.6% at the same date in 2017, thanks to the numerous new services offered. Waste accounted for 25.0% of Group EBITDA. Electricity Electricity, which includes services in electricity production, distribution and sales, recorded an EBITDA that grew from € 104.3 million at 30 September 2016 to € 147.4 million in September 2017, thanks to higher earnings in free market and safeguarded sales and higher profits in electricity generation. The number of electricity customers increased by 11.6% to 964,000, mainly owing to growth in the free market. Electricity accounted for 20.3% of Group EBITDA.

2017-10-24 Cogen870.1533211062.jpg Hera's new cogeneration plant opened today in the Borgo Panigale-Reno district. It has the capacity to provide electricity and hot water to 8,000 houses, and is ready for new connections. The investment of over 17 million euro to upgrade the plant achieves a reduction in CO2 emissions, and also improves reliability and energy availability A modern power station that respects the area The latest Cogen district heating power station is situated on the site of a plant that has been operating since the 1990s. The foundations for an overall upgrading project focused on enhancing energy efficiency and environmental sustainability were laid between 2012 and 2015. Part of the old plant was demolished in May 2015, and the power station started feeding the district heating network in less than 18 months. In this plant, which has now been totally upgraded even from an architectural perspective, Hera produces energy with the cogeneration method, which entails combined production of hot water required for the district heating network and electricity. The entire project was conceived by Hera and envisaged an investment of more than 17 million euro. The benefits of a Cogen power station District heating is in itself a "sustainable" supply that respects the environment by ensuring a better performance than conventional domestic boilers. Moreover, the new plant situated in Borgo Panigale guarantees lesser emissions into the environment, more reliability and greater availability of energy. The plant that replaces the thermal power station in via Segantini, which has now been closed, allows to heat the equivalent of 8,000 households. The turbine can currently produce up to 35,000 MWh of energy a year, almost two-fold the amount produced in the past. By recovering heat contained in the exhaust fumes, the two gas turbines have the capacity to produce 7.44 MWt each. Moreover, another four traditional boilers guarantee additional 11 MWt to integrate the energy reserves. The new power station has drastically reduced emissions. Compared to the old plant, it is equivalent to planting 25,000 new trees every year or to avoiding the annual circulation of about 8,000 vehicles (annual reduction of 21 t of nitrogen oxide and 2,500 t of CO2).The plant has been studied even in terms of size to allow new network connections. Hence, during the forthcoming months Hera's appointed sales representatives will promote the creation of new network connections by offering potential clients the opportunity to participate in this great "green" project for the city. New clients will also have the additional benefits of district heating, which avoids the cost of purchasing and replacing the boiler, along with the related ordinary and extraordinary maintenance costs, besides a 24H emergency service that will be provided free of charge to all connected clients. Environmental sustainability and urban renewal Focus on the area to make the most of it also includes carefully studying the plant's decidedly innovative architectural features. Indeed, it has been developed harmoniously with the aesthetic layout of the urban renewal process carried out in the adjacent Area of the former Sabiem Foundry. Particularly, the power station's profile merges into the area, recalling the Gothic shapes of the city centre. The power station is floodlit with warm LED lights, and is lined with brick red ceramic panels and with perforated metal sheeting with a weathering steel coating. Even in terms of colours, the project has been studied to blend the most recurrent shades in the architectural framework of the city of Bologna, namely brick red, yellow ochre and brown. HERA Group's commitment for energy efficiency Over the past 10 years, the HERA Group has launched 447 projects to reduce energy consumption, saving 740,000 toe (tonnes of oil equivalent), which correspond to the annual consumption of 520,000 families, and avoiding the emission of 1.7 million tons of CO2. These numbers were published in the last sustainability report "Setting a High Value on Energy" of the multi-utility firm, during the past weeks. They also confirm that the overall goal of reducing corporate energy consumption by 3.7% within 2017 has been achieved, further inducing the company to establish a new target of -5% for 2020. These results are the outcome of integrated efficiency-boosting programmes that especially concern the Group's proprietary plants and offices, achieving, in 2016 alone, 4.7% energy saving from the waste cycle, 3.3% from drinking water, 2.3% from district heating, and 1.3% from the use of corporate vehicles.

List of shareholders with a stake of over 3% This recognition confirms and gives new impetus to a strategy which has long been in the works, thanks to which the Hera Group has progressively increased its commitment towards sustainability and a circular economy. Ultimately, it has allowed the Group to quantify - as of the 2016 Sustainability Report - the shared value produced, i.e. the amount of EBITDA generated by pursuing objectives that meet the priorities of the UN's 2030 Agenda (a figure that reached € 300 million in 2016, 33% of the total). Hera's commitment, already in line with EU objectives - reached and surpassed as regards a reduced use of landfills and packaging recycling - can now be seen on an international stage. It thus gains further breadth, qualifying this multi-utility as a protagonist in consolidating models of development that, along the lines set out by the CE100 programme, lead growth and environmental protection to converge.

Logo CE100 blu 110 In this sense, some crucial elements for Hera's entry within the CE100 include reaching well in advance the targets set by the EU across the areas served by the Group, its commitment in terms of energy efficiency with the target of a 5% reduction in consumption by 2020 and the exclusive use of renewable energy as of 2017, the Sant'Agata Bolognese biomethane project and a significant presence of organic waste recovery through biodigesters for renewable electricity production. Furthermore, the Group has now entered the sector of plastic recycling, with the recent acquisition of Aliplast, and promotes numerous projects for environmental education in schools alongside initiatives for waste reduction through reuse (Scart, Cambia il finale, Ciboamico and Farmacoamico, among others). This recognition confirms and gives new impetus to a strategy which has long been in the works, thanks to which the Hera Group has progressively increased its commitment towards sustainability and a circular economy.

18 Logo Thomson Reuters Logo Thomson Reuters Logo Thomson & Reuters The Hera Group is the best company in Italy and the 14th in the world for investments aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion. This result was announced in the 2017 edition of Thomson Reuters' "Diversity and Inclusion Index", which examined a sample of over 6,000 publicly listed companies globally. The Italian multi-utility, with a score of 77.25, ranked second in the world in the utilities sector, improving its performance by almost six percent over 2016 (71.5) and thus rising by 46 positions in the global ranking. The "Diversity and Inclusion Index" is an ethical classification conceived and conducted by the international giant of financial information Thomson Reuters. It analyses companies' performances on the basis of a wide range of factors, falling into four categories: diversity, inclusion, people development and news controversy. The Hera Group's commitment to policies promoting inclusion and diversity has a long history. It was first consolidated in 2009, when the Charter for equal opportunity and equality on the workplace was signed: with this document the company engaged, alongside other private and public bodies, to the struggle against discrimination on the workplace. The introduction in 2011 of the Diversity Manager, whose task involves giving even greater emphasis to developing policies aimed at inclusion and the valorisation of diversity, was also fundamental. Mention must also go to the proportion of female personnel, which rose and is above the national average in the energy, water and environment sector (24.2%, compared to 15.9%), and to the presence of women in roles of responsibility that in Hera, in 2016, reached 31%. Many initiatives, lastly, make plurality management concrete, including agreements with daycare centres, summer camps and a range of programmes aimed at reconciling time for work and living. These are flanked by arrangements made for leave time not only for moms and dads but also for those who must provide assistance to relatives or elderly people. This is also the area that includes the project "Policies for a positive re-entry", conceived and implemented by Hera to improve work-leave management, financed among others by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers on account of the innovative and socially significant nature of the proposals made. 20171010_CS_Hera_nel_Diversity_and_Inclusion_Index_eng.1507626395.pdf 2015-02-06 Logo_Thomson_Reuters_250x_s1.1507625922.jpg In this ethical index, which promotes investments that take into account diversity, inclusion and people development in over 6,000 publicly traded companies globally, the Italian multi-utility, with a score of 77.25 percent, almost 6 higher than in 2016, ranked 14th worldwide.

It analyses companies' performances on the basis of a wide range of factors, falling into four categories: diversity, inclusion, people development and news controversy. The Hera Group's commitment to policies promoting inclusion and diversity has a long history. It was first consolidated in 2009, when the Charter for equal opportunity and equality on the workplace was signed: with this document the company engaged, alongside other private and public bodies, to the struggle against discrimination on the workplace. The introduction in 2011 of the Diversity Manager, whose task involves giving even greater emphasis to developing policies aimed at inclusion and the valorisation of diversity, was also fundamental. Mention must also go to the proportion of female personnel, which rose and is above the national average in the energy, water and environment sector (24.2%, compared to 15.9%), and to the presence of women in roles of responsibility that in Hera, in 2016, reached 31%. Many initiatives, lastly, make plurality management concrete, including agreements with daycare centres, summer camps and a range of programmes aimed at reconciling time for work and living. These are flanked by arrangements made for leave time not only for moms and dads but also for those who must provide assistance to relatives or elderly people. This is also the area that includes the project "Policies for a positive re-entry", conceived and implemented by Hera to improve work-leave management, financed among others by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers on account of the innovative and socially significant nature of the proposals made. press_release_thomson_reuters.1507642560.pdf 2017-06-23 sinistra 16:05:00 110x150_heraspa.1475082913.jpg Read more List of shareholders with a stake of over 3%

2017-10-09 digielode_870.1508943636.1533211995.jpg The new Hera Group's project, with the involvement of families and citizens, aims to equip schools with new digital equipment http://digielode.gruppohera.it/ digielode.gruppohera.it Online billing, direct debits, registering to online services, interactive apps for utilities management, separate waste collection and water services, not to mention digital customer meter reading and also Fast Check Up, a new digital tool that lets you understand how you are using energy and what you can do to reduce waste, to the benefit of the environment and your wallet. From now on, by choosing to use one or more of these tools, made available to its customers free of charge by Hera, families and citizens will be able to accumulate points convertible into financial contributions to schools in order to fund digitisation projects. This, in essence, is the work of "Digi e Lode", the new Hera Group's project that aims to contribute to the digitisation of primary and middle schools within served areas, whether they be public or integrated private schools. In keeping with the Piano Nazionale Scuola Digitale (National Plan for Digital Education) - which identifiesdigitisation as a strategic element for educating young people and for local development - "Digi e Lode" is based on the awareness of the rapid changes that characterise today's world, in which scenarios are unfolding that until recently were unimaginable. But the skills and knowledge needed to deal with them can only be developed through a series of innovative tools that should be provided - above all - to schools, students and teachers. "Digi e Lode"is part of the wider educational initiative, "The Great Global Machine", which Hera addresses every year to local schools, sponsored by the Regional School Office. Activate Hera's digital services and reward schools in your city But, in practical terms, how does "Digi e Lode" work? Simple: Every time a customer activates one or more of the digital services mentioned, it will help increase the number of points that will be shared among the schools in his/her town. The customer can also choose which school should receive the points obtained by filling in the form on the initiative's dedicated web site, digielode.gruppohera.it. In this way, the points will be awarded to the chosen school and will acquire a higher value, being multiplied by 5. In the current school year (2017/2018), the Hera Group will donate to the 40 schools of the area (30 in municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants and 10 in municipalities below 50,000 inhabitants) that acquire the highest number of points a total of 100,000 euros, that is 2,500 euros for each school, to be used for digitisationprojects. All the information on how to participate is available on http://digielode.gruppohera.it/ Italy ranks 25th out of 28 in Europe in the Digital Economy Index The National Plan for Digital Education of the Ministry of Education, University and Research contains the figures that led to the birth of "Digi e Lode", a contribution that the Hera Group wants to lead to the development of the local area, in keeping with the business strategiesthat identify innovation as a cornerstone of development and according to the guidelines set out in the Global Agenda of the United Nations up to 2030. The document shows that Italy ranks 25th out of 28 in Europe in the Digital Economy Index, the indicator that measures digital transactions in the economy and in society. The index, which is calculated by considering, among other things, connectivity, the diffusion of digital skills (the human capital), the use of the internet and thedigitisation of businesses, thus relegates Italy to the level of countries with the worst performance. Here are some figures that emerge from the National Plan for Digital Education: 70% of classrooms of Italian schools are networked, but generally in a way that is unsuitable for digital teaching; only 41.9% of the classrooms have IWBs (interactive whiteboards) and only 6.1% have an interactive projector; 15 year olds spend an average of 19 minutes a day on the computer in class compared with an OECD average of 25 minutes; 36% of Italian teachers say they are not sufficiently trained for digital teaching, compared to an OECD average of 17%. 20171009_Digi_e_Lode_en_MH_LM.1508222165.pdf 2017-10-09 15:31:16 Digi e lode
