This is the fruit of the partnership with the Tuscan company Waste Recycling, recently acquired by Herambiente, which also collaborated to set up the stand, entirely furnished with recovered materials. At Ecomondo the Hera Group is hosting an exhibition of students from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts: 10 portraits of famous people made of industrial waste. This is the fruit of the partnership with the Tuscan company Waste Recycling, recently acquired by Herambiente, which also collaborated to set up the stand, entirely furnished with recovered materials. Waste gives rise not only to energy, but also to works of art At the Hera Group's stand at the Ecomondo trade fair in Rimini, waste takes is given a new lease of life as it is transformed into portraits of famous people, in addition to furnishings such as tables and sofas. This is how the multiutility company has interpreted the theme of the event, which this year is dedicated to the circular economy, while taking advantage of its partnership with Waste Recycling, a Tuscan industrial waste disposal company acquired by Herambiente in late 2015. The entire stand, located in pavilion C1, was created with recovered materials and it hosts a special exhibition of10 portraits created by students from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts. These are students who participate in the Officina Scart project activated with the Academy by Waste Recycling, which organises in-company training workshops on the artistic use of industrial waste. The exhibition was inaugurated today by the Chairman and CEO of Herambiente, Filippo Brandolini and Claudio Galli, and the CEO of Waste Recycling, Maurizio Giani, with the presence of Minister of the Environment Gian Luca Galletti, the Regional Councillor for Environmental Policies Paola Gazzolo and the Mayors of Santacroce sull'Arno, Giulia Deidda, and Castelfranco di Sotto, Gabriele Toti. From Frida Kahlo to David Bowie: "regenerated" portraits The portraits offamous people on display at the Hera Group's stand are made of creatively assembled recovered materials and waste of all types. Thus it is possible to admire a Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta created by Gregorio Maria Mattei with fabric and curtains, toys, electrical cables, single-use gloves and packaging materials. Or a Federico Fellini by Ignazio Giordano, which took shape from leather and plastic scraps, sand paper, wire and mother of pearl beads. There is also an extraordinary Marilyn Monroe portrayed byAntonella Prasse with beads, stones and many types of buttons; and a Luciano Pavarottiby Arianna Tosi, a Lucio Dallaby Federico Niccolai, Muhammad Ali by Stefania Venuti, Nelson Mandela by Valentina Perini, Amy Winehouse by Beatrice Beneforti, David Bowieby Giulia Gigli and Frida Kahloby Olimpia Bogazzi. A stand where everything is recovered But the exhibition is not the only thing to be admired at the Hera Group's space at Ecomondo. Indeed, its collaboration with Waste Recycling has led the multiutility company to reconceptualise the entire stand: more than 300 square metres in which all of the furnishings are made of scrap materials. For example, the floor is made of recovered wood, and the predominant element that features the Hera logo with its three colours has been created with lids and pieces of metal along with mufflers from auto vehicles. There are also other furnishings, like tables and sofas, made from old chests of drawers, exhaust pipes and many other items. Thanks to Hera, Bologna students can also participate in the Scart project At the initiative of the Hera Group, the Scart project will start being offered at the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts as well:a great opportunity to open up a dialogue between the community and business, art and design, respect for the environment and university education. Based on the agreement signed at the end of October 20 16 between the Bologna institution, Waste Recycling and the Municipality of Santa Croce sull'Arno (Pisa), the doors of the Tuscan company's Officina Scart will open up to young artists in Bologna as well.Like their Tuscan peers, the students in Bologna will also be able to participate in workshops, with the support of their university tutors, to create works of art and design using as raw materials only and exclusively industrial waste collected at Waste Recycling's storage and sorting plants.

2016-10-06 heracomm_gransasso.1501232997.png The Hera Group consolidates its presence in the Abruzzo region, purchasing the gas and electricity sales company active primarily in the areas surrounding L'Aquila, Pescara and Chieti 100% of Gran Sasso goes to Hera Comm The Hera Group's presence in Abruzzo has now grown, thanks to the purchase by Hera Comm of 100% of Gran Sasso, the Gran Sasso Energie company with central offices in Pratola Peligna (in the province of L'Aquila) that is involved in free market gas and electricity sales. Gran Sasso serves approximately 15,000 gas customers and over 3,400 electricity customers, largely concentrated in the areas surrounding L'Aquila, Pescara and Chieti. In 2015 the company's revenues reached € 9.7 million, due to sales of 16.5 million m3 of gas and 8.5 GWh of electricity. Following the takeover, the extant contracts with clients will remain in force and the company will continue to operate in Abruzzowith bespoke personnel and contact channels. This operation contributes to the development of a model that brings together the Group's attention towards customers, seen in its physical presence across the areas served as is typical of local businesses, and the potentiality for innovation in services and offers and the competitiveness that derive from belonging to a Group that, with over 2.1 million customers, is among the foremost operators in the Italian energy market. This model has proven to be particularly effective and appreciated by customers who show a high and constantly growing level of satisfaction, and has led the number of customers to more than double over the past ten years. Hera Comm's experience will thus allow the needs of Gran Sasso's customers as well to be better satisfied, with the new offers and diversified services that will gradually be introduced, beginning in the upcoming months. The purchase of Gran Sasso, which follows upon those of Fucino Gas, Alento Gas and Julia Servizi, prolongs Hera Comm's path of growth in Abruzzo, consolidating its presence in this region by offering electricity and gas services to over 60 thousand clients, who are now to be added to the 155 thousand served in the neighbouring Marche region. "Our widespread presence across the areas served and the flexibility we have maintained, both typical of local businesses, come together with the innovative services and offers tailored to customers' needs, as developed while managing over 2 million customers. These are the keys to success that have led us to more than double our customers over the last ten years", explains Cristian Fabbri, CEO of Hera Comm. "We are convinced that Gran Sasso's current customers as well will appreciate our services and integrated offers". "Gran Sasso developed over the years thanks to the quality of its services and the value of the offers it proposes. We believe that becoming part of a structure as solid and successful as the Hera Group can bring further benefits to our clients" explains Vincenzo Santacroce, Managing Director and owner of Gran Sasso. "Precisely in order to pursue our path of development, we have decided to continue to collaborate with Hera Comm, even following the purchase." The Hera Group is one of Italy's leading multi-utilities, operating in the energy (electricity and gas distribution and sales), waste (collection and treatment) and water (aqueduct, sewerage and purification) sectors. The Group's over 8,500 employees are at work every day in order to meet the numerous needs of 4.4 million citizens in over 350 municipalities, mainly found in the Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Abruzzo and Triveneto regions. Hera Comm is the gas and electricity sales company, 100% controlled by Hera Spa, that operates across the nation with over2.1 million customers. press_release.1475770430.pdf 2016-10-06 12:30:00 Hera Group: control of Aliplast reaches 80%

"In buone acque" ("In good waters"), the complete screening of the Group's water cycle, which provides a snapshot of all of its services, is back. Positive performance on network controls and investments (more than Euro 127 million in 2015). Excellent tap water quality guaranteed by more than 730,000 analyses (2,000 per day), of which over 120,000 in the Bologna area. Tap water: passed with flying colours Thumbs up for the HERA Group's water. Indeed, all indicators came back positive, bearing witness to the Group's commitment to increasingly efficient and sustainable water service management. This can be seen in the facts and figures contained in the eighth edition of In buone acque, the multiutility company's report on tap water, which demonstrate that tap water is both good to drink and safe. In 2015, 736,442 water quality analyses (more than 2,000 per day) were conducted. The results of 99.9% of the controls carried out showed full compliance with legal requirements. The analyses also regarded pesticides and aspects not subject to regulations, such as emerging contaminants and asbestos fibres. Also in these areas, the results confirmed the quality and safety of tap water. Ranked second in Italy by volume of water supplied (300 million cubic metres per year), the Group serves more than 3.6 million residents and 239 municipalities in the Emilia-Romagna, Marche and Triveneto regions. Good, safe water in Bologna:guaranteed by 120,000 analyses in 2015 alone The results can also be seen in theBologna area. Indeed, here Hera serves nearly one million residents through 669 withdrawal points and 9,209 km of water pipelines into which 102 million cubic metres of water is injected every year. These are important figures, accompanied - especially - by the certainty of good, safe water compliant with the law in99.76% of cases. More than 120,000 analyses were carried out in 2015 alone by the HERA Group and local health authorities in the region of Bologna. In this sense, the plant resources deployed by the Group, which has more than 200 purification plants in the Bologna area, play a fundamental role. In the run-up to H2O, the international water exhibition that will be held in the shadow of the famous Towers of Bologna from 19 to 21 October, Bologna area residents can view the water coming out of their home taps with satisfaction and serenity. Act local, think global: water and best practices, in the interest of the environment Never before has a local action - carried out by the company and strengthened by the best practices of residents - been able to contribute towards creating such important global effects, beginning from the reduction in plastic bottles, a particularly significant topic in Italy, which ranks third worldwide after Mexico and Thailand for the per capita consumption of bottled water. In particular, in the area served by the Group, tap water was already chosen by 35% of customers in 2015, thereby avoiding the production, transport and disposal of 245 million plastic bottles (which would fill more than 3 million waste collection bins), as well as the related CO2 emissions. Another 450 million bottles could be avoided. And we should not overlook the possibleeconomic benefits: choosing tap water rather than mineral water provides up to Euro 270 in savings every year for a family of three. Local investments50% higher than the Italian average Not miracles, but lots of work: this is the secret to success. Because managing the water service means handling the most important and fundamental natural resource on which - ultimately - human life itself depends. At the centre of important international programmes on our planet's future, and recognised as a universal human right by the United Nations General Assembly, "blue gold" represents the sector in which the HERA Group has always concentrated the majority of its investments. Indeed, in 2015 alone Euro 127.2 million was invested in a longer term action in which the multiutility company has invested an average of Euro 100 million per year since its founding. In the area served by the Group, investments are around 50% higher than the Italian average (Euro 41 per resident compared to an average of Euro 28). The extent of this commitment, which leads Italy down the proper path to bring its interventions into line with the European average, made it possible to conduct 360° interventions on 35,000 km of water pipeline networks, 18,600 km of sewerage networks, 464 treatment plants and 434 production and purification plants. All of this with a cost of just Euro2 for every thousand litres of tap water, a value that is almost half of the amount paid in other European countries. The hard copy and online report featuring many details and interesting facts So much information available to those who love details. All of the values about water quality, relating to the average concentrations surveyed, can be consulted - area by area - in the report, which will be available again this year in hard copy at the HERA Group customer branches and can already be viewed online at www.gruppohera.it/report, where a series of other focus areas contributes to providing a comprehensive overview of the integrated water service managed by the multiutility company and the domestic and international context in which it operates. The data contained in the report are verified by the independent certification body DNV GL. Fogacci: "a transparent report on our commitment to good, safe and affordable water" "Water is one of the fundamental themes of sustainability", states Franco Fogacci, Hera's Director of Water. - "The attention the Group dedicates to it is based precisely on this awareness and translates into many concrete actions for the consolidation and development of an efficient, safe and sustainable water system, which offers long-term guarantees to the area served". Fogacci continues, "With this report, we aim to continue to promote the transparency that has always made us stand out, while ensuring good, affordable and safe water to the general public, also to support and incentivise best practices in the interest of local communities, the environment and future generations".
