The only Italian manufacturer in the precision strip sector, it has now reached a production capacity of over 50,000 tpy. Over 75% of its production is exported (mainly to Europe, but also to America and the Far & Middle East).

10 2 Sustainable Development 2 - Sustainable Development

11 2 Sustainable Development Sustainable Development Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (*** World Commission on Environment & Development ***) Environmentally sustainable: the economic system must respect the integrity of ecosystems and ensure the resilience of life supporting system. Socially Just: the economic system must ensure all people have access to a decent standard of living and full opportunities for personal and social development. Locally rooted: the economy is a global aggregate of individual communities meeting the needs of its citizens through the responsible, local production and exchange of goods and services.

12 2 Sustainable Development A SUSTAINABLE Steel Industry implements energy efficient manufacturing processes, supported by: Renewable Energy Generation: developing and using energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal and biomass. Green Buildings: constructing new green buildings, retrofitting residential and commercial buildings, and installing other green construction technology (LEED CONSTRUCTIONS). Environment Protection: protecting the environment on individual, organizational or governmental level, for the benefit of the natural environment and humans. Recycling & Waste Reduction: activities related to solid waste and wastewater management treatment and reduction, as well as processing recyclable materials. Energy and Carbon Capture: capturing and storing energy and/or carbon emissions, as well as technologies related to power plants using the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technique.

13 2 Sustainable Development The LEED CONSTRUCTION Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design LEED consists of a sets of rating systems for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings, homes and neighbourhoods. LEED main targets are: Energy Efficiency Effectiveness LEED certified buildings are intended to use resources more efficiently, they provide healthier work and living environments, which contributes to higher productivity and improved employee health and comfort. LEED certification rewards LEED construction companies being conscientious about the impact on the environment

14 2 Sustainable Development A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IS BUILT AROUND A COMBINATION OF: creating a culture where safety will never be compromised managing projects through an integrated approach to quality, safety and environment protection working with clients to share ideas, provide excellent value, creatively tackle challenges and ultimately achieve the best possible outcomes delivering top quality projects with a pride that extends right through the entire workforce empowering people/employees with the ownership of their projects

15 3 How to be Successful in the Steel Industry? a Culture of Sustainable Innovation The Arvedi Strategy

16 Arvedi corporate philosophy essence is expressed in four words: PROCESS AND PRODUCT INNOVATION Giovanni Arvedi, awarded with the Bessemer Gold Medal 2009: "For outstanding services to the steel industry. Awarded to Giovanni Arvedi for his audacious approach to hot strip manufacture with his construction of a compact, in-line casting and rolling process for hot strip at the first ISP plant in Cremona, Italy. He is greatly responsible for the development of this plant in his hometown, and has an open approach to innovation. He has sought to share knowledge of thin slab casting and rolling across Europe. Giovanni is an inspirational leader and displays exceptional personal commitment.

18 ESP line from the ladle to the finished coil 250 tonnes of liquid steel in 180 m become Hot rolled coils

19 ESP Main Advantages 1 INCREASED PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY With a totally controlled process, Arvedi ESP offers the advantage, starting from a thin hot rolled product with excellent precision, dimensional and flatness characteristics, of obtaining gauges such as 0.3 and 0.2 mm (and even mm for tinplate) with a limited number of cold rolling passes (lower investment and lower processing costs).

20 ESP Main Advantages 2 COST REDUCTION Thanks to a fully continuous strip production, direct processing costs are characterised by lower energy consumption, lower costs for consumables and improved liquid steel yield. With Arvedi ESP the energy content of the liquid steel is fully exploited, the casting speed is increased and the energy consumption is reduced. Indirect costs benefit from the higher productivity of the Arvedi ESP plant.

21 ESP Main Advantages 3 IMPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE Lower direct and indirect emissions of greenhouse and noxious gases (NOx and CO), Fully respecting the objectives of the Kyoto Protocol Lower water consumption: 5 times less than the best conventional mills. The considerable descaling of the production works with dimensions up to 10 times smaller than those of traditional steelmaking centres confers Compatibility to the steelmaking activity with the respect for all social and environmental contexts.

22 A REAL PROCESS & PRODUCT INNOVATION, DESIGNED & DEVELOPED ON A BASE OF GREEN PRINCIPLES, BRINGS TO... Simplification and shortening of the production cycle. The most compact in the world: only 170/190 m from liquid steel to coil. High product quality and new products. Computerised automation for optimum process control and reduced transformation costs. High degree of flexibility and rapid response to the market. Lower invested capital per unit of product and improved job conditions. Environmentally-friendly, sensitive to the need to conserve natural resources, minimized pollution.

23 Products Steel Mix Thin gauges - ATG Quality characteristics Structure Resistance Precision Arvedi ESP PRODUCTS A full range of steel grades from low to high carbon including HSLA (up to 800 MPa), multi phase and TRIP, silicon steel (3 %) and stainless. For replacement of cold rolled products: mm for mild and HSLA steel up to 420 MPa yield mm for HSLA from 550 to 700 MPa yield. 1.2 mm for DP 600. Homogenous, fine grain: Low carbon ASTM HSLA ASTM No segregation. Constant on the whole coil. Greater resistance to fatigue. Three times greater resilience at low temperatures than standard values. Thickness, flatness and tolerances comparable with those of cold rolled products.

24 The INTEGRATION between HR Coils & Welded Tubes productions From Acciaieria Arvedi tailor-made & high quality HR COILS are delivered daily to the Arvedi Tubi Acciaio premises, where they are transformed into resistant, precise and high-quality WELDED STEEL TUBES.

25 The synergies with to rely on top quality raw material i.e. Tailor made special steels HRC with close tolerances HRC produced in an environmentally-friendly way allow for manufacturing tubes and pipes in an extended size range: OD mm; sq. 250 x 250; rect. 300 x 200 ; x 16 mm thickness OD mm x 15 mm cold drawn (Metalfer) focused on: 1. HOT STRETCH REDUCED welded tubes to replace seamless 2. ERW (cold-formed) tubes for special applications: Automotive Thermal and Heat exchangers Water & Gas distribution, Line Pipe Civil engineering and construction (round, square and rectangular hollow sections)
