2.2 MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT The main reference established by GRI Standards for defining Sustainability Report content is materiality, which is the principle that determines which relevant topics are sufficiently important that it is essential to report on them, because they influence decision making and performance of the Company and its stakeholder.

The process of material topics definition took shape for the first time in 2017 and was divided into three phases:

1

Priority topics identification for company and stakeholders. These topics will be reconsidered and possibly modified or integrated every year.

2

Allocation of specific relevance, based on a numerical index, to each selected topic. The reference scale starts at 0 (“No relevance”) and reaches up to 5 (“Very high relevance”).

3

Identification of topics which are at least of “medium relevance” , corresponding to a score of 3 on the reference scale. These identify with the material topics, on which PSC undertakes to implement concrete and coherent initiatives. The connection between the material topics of PSC and those of GRI Standards will be always highlighted and reported in the GRI Content Index (pp. 91-94)

The material topics identified and the relevant definitions are shown on the following pages. In order to make management easier and more effective, the material topics identified have been grouped into three macro-topics:

• Generated Value

3.1 RISK MANAGEMENT PSC, the Group’s holding company, defines in the industrial plan the vision, the mission and the medium and long-term strategies. Once the guidelines have been set up, the operational plans, following business units and sites connected to them, are developed. It is PSC management to look into functional analyzes and evaluations towards operational planning draft, which is an activity carried out in an interdisciplinary manner thanks to the action of various companies’ contribution, but without underestimating relevant external actors, such as customers and suppliers. In the industrial PSC planning, the strategic guidelines are:

-

Competitiveness: the Group’s ability to supply competitive products and to stay in the market, facing competition.

PAG E 3 0

-

Technological innovation: it can be the first step for the improvement of existing products and processes, in order to increase the quality of products, its performance and flexibility, as well as to reduce production costs. However, it also means introducing new products, innovative production and distribution methods, continuously looking for superior quality.

-

Globalization: distribution of production on a local and global scale, according to customer’s needs.


3.1 RISK MANAGEMENT It is the business holding to identify activities in line with PSC strategic guidelines; afterwards, these are monitored by each production site, according to the logical process as follows: PSC analysis of the business plan: each business unit defines how to apply internal strategic guidelines established by the Group. Identification of the relevant factors thanks to the S.W.O.T. Analysis (Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats): it is therefore possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the internal context, as well as the external risks and opportunities. These elements are then related to the interested parties. Identification assessment of significance factors: in particular the probability of occurrences and their impact on market share, competitive advantage and reputation are taken into consideration. Definition of operational planning, taking into account the related risks, in particular:

√ Avoid risk by deciding not to start or continue the activity that led to its appearance

√ Take or increase risk to pursue an opportunity

√ Remove the source of risk

√ Change the probability

√ Change the consequences

√ Share the risk with a partner (also through contractual formulas for financial risk control

PAG E 3 1


3.1 RISK MANAGEMENT Actions to face risks and exploit opportunities, also in reference to sustainability, are the inputs necessary to define the operational planning in line with the company strategy.

The Group has also stipulated policies with important companies in this field to cover the main business risks in industrial activities. The PSC insurance coverage is extensive and covers all material damages to buildings, plant, machinery and goods owned by the Group companies, whether they are present in the PSC plants or at third parties.

Limits and specific exemptions vary according to other factors such as weather events, third party malicious acts, structural collapse, liquid leakage and mechanical breakdowns. Any economic losses that may result from business interruptions or caused by factors such as those listed above are also covered by insurance. Finally, any damages to third parties were also insured, resulting from the claims subject to the policy (recourse to third parties and interruption and suspension of third party activities).

A policy consisting of three sections concerning the compensation obligations was signed by the Group companies. In detail: third-party liability, civil liability workers and civil liability products. Each of these covers operates with ceilings and limited deductibles.

3.3 RELATIONSHIPS WITH BUSINESS PARTNERS The partnerships that PSC build with its customers are traditionally very solid, so that some of the Group’s production sites are located in the same areas that host the relevant environment.

Examples are Sole Suzzara, which is located in the IVECO plant district, as well as Sole Pontedera, which is located in the Piaggio district.

PSC has two joint ventures with Magneti Marelli: one (50%) in the Pernambuco plant in Brazil, the other (70%) for the Gricignano di Aversa plant. In both cases, the following years perspective is to acquire 100% of the company control.

In the new code of conduct definition, particular emphasis will be placed on transparency in relations (anti-competitive behavior) and on the correctness and integrity of company conduct (anti-trust and monopoly practice). In the reporting year, the company was not affected by legal actions in anti-competitive behavior, anti-trust or monopoly operations.

The PSC partnership relations with its suppliers are also characterized by solid bonds. The strategic purchasing department defines PSC framework agreements with large groups that produce, for example, raw materials and paints. In addition, it promotes the growth of suppliers in the areas they work for, by supporting them within their facility, in order to achieve the highest environmental and safety standards.

PAG E 3 9


3.4 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND PRODUCT QUALITY PSC is committed to providing quality of products and services, which can meet or even exceed customer’s expectations.

New plants subjected to constant maintenance, combined with state-of-the-art control systems, contribute to monitoring and repeatability processes, as well as quality of products. In case of unmanageable situations, they are monitored through statistical studies that affect the main variables, so to allow an immediate intervention and restoration.

Each site monitors customer satisfaction and the resulting reports are analyzed by both business units and the Group holding company. This process aims to ensure that attention is always focused on customer’s needs. In the development phase of each new product, its impact, according to the precautionary approach, is assessed through the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), a priority risk assessment index, based on three factors: severity, probability and detection.

The same process is used to assess possible functionality problems, aesthetics and / or related to the product’s assembling that may be relevant to the customer.

100% of the finished products supplied on the market are registered on IMDS (International Material Data System), whereas all the materials used for production are collected, updated, analyzed and archived. All substances and mixtures used in the production phase, are accompanied by Safety Data Sheet (SDS) with information on physic-chemical, toxicological and environmental hazard properties, necessary for a correct and safe handling.

PAG E 4 0


3.4 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND PRODUCT QUALITY Product safety and compliance with legal requirements are evaluated in FMEA, by adopting the most stringent parameters. During the reporting period, PSC had no cases of non-compliance with voluntary regulations and / or codes regarding health and safety impact on its products and services. The monitoring of customer satisfaction along with the supplied product is a constant process. This is due to the fact that, since most of our customers deal with the automotive sector, there are online platforms where reports, such as complaints and rejects, are given in real time. Moreover, monthly assessments are made by taking into account the quality of products and the service provided. Each production site is functionally responsible for the management of customer’s complaints. Monitoring and timing review assessments received by customers are the main subject of management committees, business units and our Group.

3.5 COMPLIANCE The Group companies recognize that compliance with existing laws and regulations in all the countries we work for, is an essential principle.

Business units managing directors are responsible for compliance with the binding legislation also by means of its delegates (plant managers or external professionals) concerning all specific issues.

Many of our offices are ISO 9001, ISO 14001 certified, some OHSAS 18001 / ISO 45001, with the aim of standardizing the business activities and therefore ensuring high performance, by achieving predefined objectives and constant optimization. Furthermore, many of our offices are IATF 16949 certified, a quality management system for the automotive sector, developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF). Our PSMM plants in Campania, Sole Oderzo, Sole Pontedera and Sole Worth are currently involved in getting this certification.

3.6 RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN The strategic guidelines and general criteria related to the supply of materials and services are established by PSC Board of Directors. Such materials and services, which can have an impact on the quality of the finished product, are considered strategically significant. In particular, materials are divided into four categories:

raw materials including thermoplastic resins, paints, glues and two-component resins

semi-finished products and components

products from external processes, such as molding, painting and assembly

• packaging

The selection of suppliers is entrusted to the strategic purchasing department which, in order to prevent any risk in terms of supply, performs an initial assessment where the following aspects are analyzed:

financial stability

suitability of available resources, including people and infrastructure

turnover in the automotive sector

logistic process

PAG E 4 5


3.6 RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN Moreover, in line with sustainability principles, the purchasing department increasingly supports the consistent approach towards ethical standards. For this reason, PSC prefers suppliers who adopt ethics code that regulate subjects, such as respect for human rights and anti-corruption measures. The procurement management also requires suppliers with ISO 9001 quality management certification system. In the suppliers’ selection, it is considered an asset having certifications such as health and safety management systems (OHSAS 18001 / ISO 45001), as well as environmental management (ISO 14001). Suppliers are then required to demonstrate implementation, by proving how those measures are able to improve the quality of products and / or processes, setting up of training courses for internal staff, along with accurate methods development in managing other suppliers. All suppliers of raw materials and components are required to enter definitive information on the basic composition of products, components and materials, directly on the International Material Data System (IMDS) system. In this way it is possible to comply with the European regulation on end-of-life vehicles (DIR 2000/53 / EC) and its amendments. If the customer has contractually defined a list of designated suppliers (the so-called “imposed suppliers�), the oil product to be used for production is purchased from these companies. In any case, even this category of suppliers is subject to monitoring, unless otherwise specified in the agreement, which the customer shall define as a specific contract. Since 2017, PSC purchasing management has provided a business intelligence tool, aimed at promoting the utmost transparency and traceability of the purchasing process. In addition to this innovation, there were no substantial organizational changes during the reporting year in the supply chain.

PAG E 4 6


3.7 LOCAL COMMUNITIES For PSC it is crucial to build up relationships with the local communities where the plants are located, an aspect that is meant to be enhanced over the years ahead. As an example, it is reported that since 2015, PSC has collaborated with the Dialogue Community of Trivigliano, in the province of Frosinone, which is active in the recovery of people who had problems with addiction to drugs and alcohol. In particular, the Prima Components of Anagni plant is involved in a project that allowed six new human resources from the community to enter the staff. In the years ahead, there is an intention of gradually entering other resources in the factory, so to complete their recovery path in the community, following simultaneously an assessment of standardized requirements. The PSC reference shareholders are also involved in the activities of Frosinone Calcio. Since October 2017, this football club has had a sports facility at its disposal, named after the PSC group founder Benito Stirpe, an international leader in terms of aesthetics and construction standards. The structure hosts 16.310 spectators and along with the Cittadella dello Sport and future expansion projects for musical events, it is totally for the benefit of the community. In order to allow PSC personnel sites located near the plant to attend sports events of Frosinone Calcio, various forms of involvement have been arranged.

4.3 HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK PSC companies are committed so that employees and collaborators, both of their own and of contractors, respect the accident prevention regulations and the protection of hygiene and health at work. They also work to consolidate and spread a culture of safety, developing risk awareness and promoting responsible behavior by all employees and collaborators, in order to preserve their physical integrity. According to the law (article 35 of Legislative Decree 81/08) all Italian employees of PSC receive adequate training on health and safety. The non-Italian branches of the Group comply with the health and safety regulations of the country they belong to. All employees in Italy have contracts that adhere to the three different types of CCNL (National Collective Labor Agreements):

• Rubber and plastic

• Metal working

• CED

Employees are protected by national contracts also with regard to plants abroad. The union representatives are present in all the Group companies and involve all employees. The relations with PSC are characterized by a constant and open confrontation, achieved both through frequent meetings on specific issues and through institutional moments, as main subjects. Furthermore, it is in full compliance with the provisions of the various National Collective Labor Agreements we establish with trade unions, regarding health and safety, that we make contracts. In every Italian company there are representatives of workers for safety, in line with the provisions of the law 81/08. As provided by this regulation, at least a minimum representative number of workers for safety is present in each establishment*. They speak for the workers and communicate on a regular basis with company management during meetings regarding the subjects they are responsible for. In PSMM factory in Pernambuco, there are formal committees that deal with health and safety at work on behalf of the company’s employees, such as: CIPA - Internal Commission for accidents prevention at work COERGO - Ergonomics Committee that assesses ergonomic improvement needs for various sectors Both Pernambuco and Poprad plant work according to the WCM methodology (World Class Manufacturing) based on ten technical pillars including “safety”.

4.4 PERSONNEL TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT For PSC, staff training and development is a resource to maximize business competitiveness, as well as the motivation and gratification of human resources, through the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. In this view, in 2017, various courses were provided to employees based on a dynamic training and training program, thanks to the constant comparison between the skills acquired and those necessary for the development company’s needs and customers’ requests. •

Specialist and managerial training In order to maintain this plus, the company places its employees, in particular those belonging to key categories, in the conditions to face the new scenarios with the appropriate skills. Massive percentage of training hours were provided for World Class Manufacturing (WCM): a innovation program based on continuous improvement, but also an integrated Japanese derivation system, which helps to cut off waste and loss involving everybody in the application of strict methods and standards.

Linguistic training PSC has organized foreign language courses for its employees, designed to provide linguistic skills to cope with everyday work.

Specific training on safety at work and environmental issues In line with the provisions on health and safety in the workplace, training courses are compulsory for new employees and updating for all.

4.4 PERSONNEL TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT During 2017, PSC had an IT system that, following to ordinary administration of personnel, is able to manage human resources according to a specific pattern. This starts through the identification of the skills required for a role, which has then to be assessed, to be finally concluded through the definition of a plan for resource development. In 2017 the activity was started on the SP Prima pilot site: this allowed PSC to test the system and consider some possible implementations. Staff assessment systems will be extended to all the other PSC facilities in the coming years. In Italy there is a system of staff involvement that provides, in addition to fixed remuneration, the use of variable remuneration instruments (performance bonus). Currently, PSC does not have a structured Management By Objectives (MBO) system, based on individual and business objectives of profitability and productivity, aimed at encouraging a more direct involvement in the achievement of results.

4.5 EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AND DIVERSITY PSC is constantly committed to avoiding any form of discrimination based on age, sex, sexual orientation, health status, ethnicity, nationality, political opinions and religious beliefs. In the Group’s code of ethics, which is currently being formalized, the importance of ethical and social responsibility is recognized in carrying out business activities. In this regard, PSC undertakes to respect the legitimate interests of its stakeholders. The Group companies operate in terms of diversity. This is what customers expect and it is of vital importance for business success. It is only by evaluating diversity and by engaging equal opportunities that PSC will be able to completely exploit available human and business resources. PSC is committed to providing equal opportunities in all its recruitment and employment activities.

5.1 THE ENVIRONMENT Respect for the environment is a fundamental variable for PSC. This aspect is reserved for the same passion that drives the care of products and the same attention paid to customer’s requests. In this context, the commitment to introduce technological systems and practices that, in addition to fully meeting all legal obligations and limiting pollution, tend to constantly improve environmental efficiency. Despite the importance of environmental issues for PSC, the available data did not make possible a scientific risk assessment, one of the elements necessary for the application of the precautionary principle. Nevertheless, even if it has not been possible to apply this principle so far, PSC protects its resources and works in compliance with all applicable regulations. It is significant to underline that some business tools, such as risk analysis for the assessment and prevention of accidents at work and diseases are evolving: the present risk assessment is accompanied by the forecasting of possible risks, as shown in the following diagram.

PSC wants to continuously improve its environmental performance and reduce energy consumption in its sites of production and offices, by implementing specific policies and projects. Specifically, among the initiatives launched, the followings are included: • Introduction of more efficient production machinery and equipment, in terms of energy consumption (e.g. inverter) • Installation of more energy-efficient lighting systems (e.g. LED) • Adoption of environmental management systems in line with the IS014001 standard 2017 is the first year in which the Sustainability Report was published and it is, therefore, considered the “zero point” for energy consumption reductions and calculation. In ISO 14001- certified factories the reduction values have ​​ been monitored for years. The reference value, on which energy consumption reductions and calculation will be based in the years to come, is calculated as follows:

The production process that has the greatest impact from VOC emissions’ point of view is painting. For this process, the total quantity of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emitted has been reported, which are conveyed into post-combustors, very high-efficiency equipment able to break down these substances, present in the outgoing stream of spray booths, from thousands of mg / Nmc to a few units. VOCs breakdown occurs by thermal oxidation (combustion) of the latter. The heat produced by VOCs combustion is recovered either in the same painting plant (heating of drying ovens and so on) or for different company needs.
