"Finmeccanica is convinced that its business objectives should include management of environmental aspects in order to ensure that the Group is sustainable, profitable and competitive in the long term."
  
These are the opening words of the policy section in Finmeccanica's Fourth Environmental Report. This consolidated report, which is certified by external bodies, is a clear indication of the attention the Group pays to the impact of its industrial activities.
 
Amongst the results achieved by Finmeccanica during 2008, calculated from environmental data provided by 135 sites worldwide, the following aspects stand out (compared to the previous two years): a decrease in water consumption, reduced consumption of harmful substances, lower production of dangerous waste, and a significant increase in the number of sites with ISO14001 certification (+ 14%) and OHSAS certification 18001 (+ 56%).
 
The voluntary and certificated reporting of the Group's environmental performance is becoming an increasingly important strategic tool for the stakeholders and for Finmeccanica itself, in order to achieve its business goals and to continue creating value.
