2 - AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
This Environmental Statement provides data and information on the Automobili
Lamborghini plant environmental management system, as laid out by EMAS (Eco-
Management and Audit Scheme) regulations. This is one of the tools specifically
adopted by the Council of the European Union with the priority objective of
underscoring a company’s role and responsibility in protecting the environment.
This Environmental Statement also offers an overview of the environmental
projects set up by the Company, including the use of renewable energy, reducing
CO2 emissions and protecting biodiversity.

A NEW VISION OF RESPONSIBILITY

“WITH THIS ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT WE WISH TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF OUR COMMITMENT TO LOCALLY SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRY.”
6 - AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
1Innovation and continuous improvement are not just goals
to be met in the automotive field, but also as regards
respecting the world around us.
Our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy sees us
actively involved in environmental sustainability topics,
through product and process innovation, making us pioneers
in this field as well with the development of cutting-edge
technologies and virtuous energy management processes.
On the product side, our continuous innovation in the
technical content of our vehicles, including the use of
carbon-fiber composite materials, has helped us lower
their weight, leading to reduced vehicle emissions without
sacrificing their legendary performance.
We are aiming to implement new technologies with a low
environmental impact by increasing our investments in
processes which use energy from renewable sources. This
approach is not limited solely to the production phase but
rather involves all corporate development phases, including
with regard to infrastructure: we are a fast-growing
company, and all our new offices are built to achieve class A
energy certification.
Yet, all this is not enough for us: as we prepare to expand
our premises in preparation for production of our new third
vehicle model, the URUS, we have decided to obtain a new
certification for the new, recently built office building. As well
as achieving energy class A, it will also be certified with the
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – “LEED” –
system, an international protocol which assesses and rewards
projects developed and implemented in accordance with the
most modern standards of sustainable construction.
Our desire to invest in the environment and the local area
led us outside the boundaries of the company: in 2011
we inaugurated the Lamborghini Park ‒ a park open to
the entire population of Sant’Agata Bolognese ‒ where a
biodiversity study is being performed in collaboration with
major universities, and beginning in 2016, an environmental
bio-monitoring program with bees, sentries who are able
to detect the level of pollution within a radius of several
miles from our plant, has been implemented.
This commitment allowed us to obtain the important CO2-
neutral certification for our plant in 2015, through the
“Carbon Neutrality” certification of DNV GL (Det Norske
Veritas Germanischer Lloyd), as a demonstration of how it
is possible to do business and still respect the environment.
We were amongst the first in the world to do so, and we
must continue on this path with the goal of leading the way
for other companies to do the same.
The Environmental Statement is the document in which we
demonstrate our long-term approach designed to avoid
waste, limit consumption and prevent pollution. Through this
document we wish to reassert how important it is for us to
pursue a version of industrial development which is attentive
to both the local area and the wider environment: every one of
our actions aims to help preserve them, and we wish to raise
the entire community’s awareness through these actions.
Protecting the world we live in is a key element of
our corporate conduct. This allows all members of the
Lamborghini family to look at and be part of the company
with pride.

2Ferruccio Lamborghini, a businessman who successfully
opened two factories for producing farm machinery and
gas burners at the end of World War II, founded Automobili
Ferruccio Lamborghini S.p.A. in May of 1963. The company
specialized in the production of luxury sports cars. For the
logo, Lamborghini chose a bull, representing his star sign.
In late 1963, a highly advanced factory opened in
Sant’Agata Bolognese, a town located 25 km from Bologna
in an area already containing some great names in the
automotive world.
In 1964, the Company introduced the 350 GT, a car that
gave concrete form to Ferruccio Lamborghini’s concept of
“progress through technical prowess”. The Gran Turismo
car boasted advanced technologies and had a top speed
of 260 km/h.
In 1966, the Miura debuted at the Geneva Auto Show. The
new model inaugurated a series of Lamborghini cars bearing
names inspired by the world of bulls: specifically, Miura is
the Spanish breed of highly intelligent, dangerous fighting
bulls named after breeder Edoardo Miura. The immediate
success of this supercar, which was due to its innovative
look and remarkable performance, enabled Lamborghini to
become an established name on the international level and
to join the elite of great automotive marques.
In 1968 the Espada began production at the Sant’Agata
factory, and the Countach (an expression of wonder and
astonishment in the Piedmont dialect) debuted in March
1971. As had occurred with the Miura, the Countach was
highly popular from the very beginning and was produced
for 17 years.
In 1988, the “Anniversary” version of the Countach
concluded the production run of one of the cars that has
best expressed the Lamborghini philosophy. A total of
1,997 units were produced.
In 1990, the Diablo was introduced in Monte Carlo. The car
was received very favorably by enthusiasts.
The many changes in Company ownership that occurred
between 1972 and 1998 ultimately ended with the
acquisition of Automobili Lamborghini by the Audi Group.
Thanks to its new owner, the Sant’Agata Bolognese-
based company has enjoyed a lengthy period of stability
distinguished by a radical modernization and restructuring
program that has enabled Lamborghini to adapt to the
increasing demands of the market. The program involved
major investments in renewed production facilities and
plant systems, and in the development of a new generation
of products. Two new models were indeed introduced: the
Murciélago, equipped with a V12 engine, and the Gallardo
with its V10 power plant, which is currently the biggest
selling model in the Company’s history – over 12,000
Gallardos have been sold since 2003.
The two models mentioned above were followed by
versions derived from them, such as the Murciélago LP
640, produced in Coupé and Roadster versions, and the
Reventón, a limited series of 20 units costing 1 million
8 - AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
Euros that was inspired by the world of aeronautics and
based on the Murciélago. Various Gallardo derivatives
followed the first version: the Gallardo LP 560-4 Coupé
and Spyder versions, the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera
and the open-air version, and the Gallardo LP 570-4
Spyder Performante.
In 2010, the Sesto Elemento was introduced. It displayed
Automobili Lamborghini’s exceptional expertise in applying
carbon-fiber technology in every field. Only 20 units of the
new super sports car were produced, and they were only
destined for track use.
The year 2011 saw the debut of a new V12 model called
the Aventador, whose unique design and innovative
technological package have set a new industry standard in
the world of super sports cars. Three special series were
also introduced in the same year – the Gallardo Bicolore, the
Gallardo Tricolore, in homage to the 150th anniversary of
Italian unification, and the Super Trofeo Stradale, inspired
by the Super Trofeo from the Lamborghini Blancpain Super
Trofeo championship – as well as a derivative, the rear-
wheel-drive Spyder LP 550-2. Lamborghini supercars
have consistently been distinguished by their elegant,
innovative look. The stylistic excellence of the Brand has
enabled the Company to be recognized internationally as a
paragon of “Made in Italy” design.
In 2012, Lamborghini introduced the most extreme open-
top supercar in its history at the Geneva Motor Show: the
Aventador J, a one-off road-legal model intended for just
one single, lucky fan of unique works of automotive art.
At the Beijing International Automobile Exhibition that
same year, the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based company
showcased the new Lamborghini URUS concept car, a
super sports SUV that sets a new industry standard in
the sport utility field. Next came the introduction of the
9
new Gallardo LP 560-4 and Gallardo LP 570-4 Edizione
Tecnica, whose updated look that is even more aggressive
and extreme is a stylistic development of the most popular
model in Lamborghini’s history. Total production reached
2,197 units in 2012.
On the heels of the success of the Coupé version, with over
1,300 units already delivered, the House of the Raging
Bull introduced the new Lamborghini Aventador Roadster
in November 2012. It is the most remarkable standard
production Lamborghini ever built and a new landmark in
open-top super sports cars.
The Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse, unveiled in late 2013,
celebrated the end of the Gallardo era by setting record lap
times to consolidate itself at the top of its category.
Limited editions such as the Veneno, the Egoista and the
Veneno Roadster paid homage to the Company’s 50 years,
alongside special anniversary versions of the Gallardo,
Aventador and Aventador Roadster. The 50th anniversary
celebrations involved Customers and fans through
numerous events all over the world, including the largest
rally in Lamborghini history, which took place in Italy in
May: 350 Lamborghinis rushed home from around the
world to celebrate, confirming the strength of the global
Lamborghini community.
In December 2013 the successor to the iconic Gallardo
was unveiled, the Lamborghini Huracán, which would make
its world debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. With its
innovative technology and exceptional performance, it
redefines the driving experience of luxury super sports cars.
At the 2014 Paris Motor Show, Lamborghini unveiled the
first Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology demonstrator in its
history: the Asterion LPI 910-4.
The Asterion is a concept car which boasts a powertrain
using plug-in hybrid technology designed according to
Lamborghini objectives: the new vehicle indeed represents
a solution for CO2 emissions using currently available
technology, while at the same time offering peerless
handling and reactivity in addition to superior power and
an exceptional range of fully 50 km in electric only mode.
The year 2015 saw the introduction of various new models.
At the Geneva Motor Show in March, the Aventador
Superveloce Coupé was presented, followed by the debut
of the Roadster that August at Monterey Car Week in the
United States.
Summer 2015 also saw the introduction of a special edition,
the Aventador Pirelli Edition, created to celebrate the
long and ongoing history of collaboration with prestigious
Italian tire manufacturer Pirelli.
10 - AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
In fall 2015 the famous Lamborghini V10 range grew with
the introduction of the Huracán Spyder and the rear-
wheel drive Huracán.
The same year also marked a significant milestone for the
Company, as it confirmed production of its new super SUV
at Sant’Agata Bolognese. In 2018 the Urus will become the
third model of the range produced by Lamborghini. As well
as an increase in growth and opportunities for the Brand,
this will also lead to a significant increase in the plant’s
production capacity.
In 2016 five new models were launched, including the
Centenario Coupé and Centenario Roadster, limited
editions produced to celebrate the anniversary of the birth
of company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini.
The same year also saw the introduction of the special
editions Huracán Avio and Aventador Miura Homage, the
latter created in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of
the Miura, the forerunner of all Lamborghini V12 super
sports cars. The new Lamborghini Huracán RWD Spyder,
on the other hand, debuted in November at the Los Angeles
Auto Show, while the new Aventador S was unveiled at the
end of 2016.
In 2016 Automobili Lamborghini also celebrated the 50th
anniversary of the debut of the iconic Miura with a series
of events around the world dedicated to its customers and
enthusiasts.
The celebrations culminated in the Miura Tour from June
8 to 12, the rally which saw Miura owners come to Italy
for a 500 km journey through the Italian regions of Emilia,
Liguria and Tuscany. The tour saw the participation of
twenty of the best surviving examples of the Lamborghini
Miura built between 1966 and 1972, coming from Japan,
the US and other European countries for the event.
In financial year 2016 (to 31 December 2016), Automobili
Lamborghini achieved new, record results. Turnover passed
900 million Euros for the first time, increasing from 872
to 906 million (+4%). In addition to this increase, EBIT
was positive for the year, confirming the soundness of the
growth progress.
Worldwide sales also increased by 7%, from 3,245 to 3,457
units, a sixth consecutive yearly improvement.

3The key element of the world in which Automobili
Lamborghini operates is a requirement for constant
change. The world is evolving rapidly, through globalization
and digitalization: for this reason, the spotlights are
ever increasingly focused on political problems and the
insecurities of the world economy. In order to guarantee
the Company an ethical, stable and profitable business
model, the Lamborghini 2020 Strategy was created.
Automobili Lamborghini aims to become the most
desirable Italian luxury super sports car Company, with
the mission of exciting customers all over the world by
designing super sports cars par excellence, promising an
extraordinary brand experience and creating value with a
view to continuous improvement.
These are the three areas of action on which the entire
Lamborghini business is focused. The success of our
implementation of the 2020 Strategy will be measured
by performance in five areas: volumes, profitability, brand
value, attractiveness as an employer and sustainability.
Reaching these objectives cannot, however, take away
from our constant attention to the world which surrounds
us and an ethical and responsible contribution to the
future of current and coming generations.
SUSTAINABILITYThe identification of a fifth company objective within the
2020 Strategy, Sustainability, is a strong undertaking
of Responsibility towards our stakeholders and the area
where the company operates.
For Lamborghini, sustainability is a genuine duty, not
as a future trend, but to give a new dimension to our
business. Taking on an ethical dimension is therefore a
dual responsibility, not just as a company, but also as we
are a high visibility Brand. Policies of Responsibility, if they
are directed well, can give impetus to virtuous processes
in today’s way of doing business.
Economic growth in and of itself is, indeed, not sufficient;
development is genuine and has value only if it improves
quality-of-life in a lasting manner, thus safeguarding the
foundations of our society.
Lamborghini identifies itself more and more as a Company
which operates according to ethical principles and which
cannot therefore ignore the need to adopt guidelines on
which to base its actions. These guidelines should not
be considered a list of rules, but rather the commitment
which each of us in Lamborghini makes our own, with the
ambition of making our area unique by leveraging the
corporate culture and the style of doing business which
sets the company apart.
Lamborghini is, indeed, strongly convinced, both as a
company and a group of People, that the key to success
for a company lies in the integrity with which it acts,
respecting the law and committed to pursuing its ethical
principles.

ATTRACTIVE EMPLOYERAutomobili Lamborghini wants to be an increasingly
attractive employer for both the surrounding area and
its employees, pursuing this objective by promoting a
corporate culture centered on the quality of its processes,
transparency, and individual motivation, in order to create
value and grow the professional identity of each employee.
The constant attention paid by the company to its
employees and families translates into many activities and
initiatives.
Beginning in 2013, Automobili Lamborghini launched the
Lamborghini 4us program. Lamborghini 4us is a structured
People Care program aiming to improve employees’ quality
of life.
Four sections dedicated to people, wellbeing, training
and the environment to enclose all the existing company
initiatives as well as those which will be implemented in
the future, in an outlook of continuous improvement. The
aim of the Environment section is to sensitize the whole
company to environmental issues through dedicated
communication campaigns and activities concerning
environmental topics such as energy savings, waste
sorting, and respecting the environment, and to involve
them to an ever-greater extent, both in and out of the
workplace, in looking after the local and global environment.
Specifically, 2016 saw two events organized for employees
and their families in the Lamborghini Park. Also open
to residents of Sant’Agata Bolognese, their goal was to
further spread environmental awareness, to the younger
generations as well, and present one of our company’s new
projects: the Lamborghini Apiary.

regarding their environmental impact and energy consumption.
All employees are specifically informed and trained –
according to their area of competence – so that they
develop a sense of responsibility toward the environment
and use of energy. All employees must be familiar with
the Company’s environmental and energy policy and are
expected to help reach the Company’s goals.
THE PRINCIPAL ACTIONS TAKEN BY AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI S.P.A. IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL FIELD• Reducing the quantity of waste, where possible, and

15
Automobili Lamborghini has always operated with total
respect for the safety of its employees and for the
environment, while still maintaining the high standards of
quality that have gained the trust of its Customers over
the years.
Our goal is to go beyond requirements mandated by
law and adopt strategies and methods of operating that
not only prevent possible episodes of pollution, but
also initiate a process of ongoing improvement of the
Company’s environmental protection actions.
After developing its environmental policy, Lamborghini
set itself precise rules for managing its environmental
aspects, as laid out by EMAS regulations and the ISO
14001 international standard: together, these rules form
the environmental management system, with the aim of
providing continuous improvement of our environmental
performance. In terms of energy, this tool has been further
reinforced by the energy management system, certified
in October 2011 in conformity with the requirements of
the ISO 50001 international standard.
Automobili Lamborghini was the first Italian Automotive
company to obtain EMAS (2009) registration, ISO 50001
(2011) and ISO 14064 (2013) certifications. This latter
certification concerns quantification of greenhouse gas
emissions for the entire organization.
In July 2015, Automobili Lamborghini became the
first company in the world to join DNV GL’s “Carbon
Neutrality” program. The Organization is committed to
offsetting its yearly GHG emissions associated with the
use of electricity, natural gas and all fossil fuels used
for heating the site interior and generating electricity in
the Sant’Agata Bolognese production plant by setting in
motion an offsetting process which involves the tracking,
reduction and offsetting of these GHG emissions.

6The Automobili Lamborghini production facility is located in
Sant’Agata Bolognese, in the Province of Bologna, on a flat
area at an altitude of approximately 20 meters above sea
level. The first Lamborghini factory was built in 1963 in an area
that was once used for farming. The facility has undergone
numerous modifications over the years before reaching
its current size and configuration. Today the Lamborghini
production site has a surface area of approximately
316,000 m2. It consists of a number of buildings with a total
built-on area of approximately 80,000 m2.
After announcing the introduction of its third production
model, a luxury SUV, in summer 2016 Lamborghini began
major industrial expansion works: a 100,000 m2 construction
site to increase the total built-on area from 80,000 m2
to 150,000 m2. As mentioned in the previous edition, the
following infrastructure is undergoing construction:
• New assembly line
• New finishing department
• New logistics warehouse
• New office building
• New test track
• New waste storage area
20 - AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
With reference to agreement no. 123 dated October 23,
2015 signed with the town of Sant’Agata Bolognese, over
the course of 2016 Automobili Lamborghini completed
all agreed on infrastructural works to mitigate and offset
the potential effects of the enlargement on the area,
particularly with regard to traffic and water issues:
• Creation of a roundabout on the SP 255 main road at the
intersection of Via 21 Aprile 1945 and Via Pettarella
• Adaptation of the existing intersection between the SP
255 and SP 16 main roads
• Widening of the SP 255 main road (Lamborghini side) to
create sufficient waiting lanes
• Widening of Via Montirone and adaptation to current
regulations along with the bridge intersecting with Via
Pedicello, as well as its connection with Via F. Lamborghini
• Culverting a section of the “Scolo Cerchia” consortium
canal for use of the surface above for public parking
During 2016, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. made two
applications for substantial modifications to the
Autorizzazione Unica Ambientale (Single Environmental
Authorization). All emission and drainage points of the
new site have been authorized with ref. no. AUA DET AMB
2016-5267 of 19 December 2016 and ref. no. AU DET-
AMB-2017-1537 of 23 March 2017.
The first building will be finished during summer 2017,
while the rest of the buildings will be finished by December.
As always, the speed of the work goes hand in hand with
quality and innovation. All these works will continue to
make Lamborghini CO2 neutral and, for the first time
in Italy, a LEED-certified industrial building will be
constructed.
All new buildings will be connected to the centralized
Energy Hub. Energy production will be largely covered
by a new trigeneration system. The energy produced in
the Energy Hub will be distributed and carried to the new
buildings by an underground district heating system, which
will reach dedicated plant rooms.
The buildings will all be energy class A according to the
Emilia Romagna region’s energy classification. The outer
structure of the building window surface has been designed
to achieve the highest possible energy performance
through the use of a very high performance polycarbonate
facade system. All lighting, including for industrial areas,
uses very high efficiency LED lights.

OURCOMMITMENT FOR GROWTH
23
7Automobili Lamborghini’s commitment to the environment
has grown exponentially in recent years, and in particular
since 2008. All projects the Company has begun in this
field have always been taken on with the goal of being a
benchmark for the sector and beyond.
In 2009 the Company attained ISO 14001 Environmental
Certification, and was also the first automotive company
in Italy to obtain EMAS registration. The choice of EMAS
registration, and therefore of publishing all our data and
goals, was born of the goal of being completely transparent
towards our employees and the society which surrounds
us.
In parallel, we undertook an important path for monitoring
and reducing the energy consumption of our production site
by including both industrial processes and infrastructure.
In September 2011 this commitment led us to another first
in the Italian Automotive industry, also being one of the
first in Europe to obtain the prestigious ISO 50001 Energy
certification.
At the end of 2012 we signed an important agreement
with the Italian Ministry for the Environment for defining a
Carbon Footprint calculation methodology concerning our
production of monocoques and carbon-fiber components
in the CFK Center and accounting for the corresponding
CO2 emissions produced. This collaboration led Automobili
Lamborghini to obtain ISO 14064 certification for the
Composites Site in August 2013, the first company in the
world certified by Det Norske Veritas, extended in 2015 to
the entire Sant’Agata Bolognese production site.
Within this intense and rapid path towards ever-greater
environmental commitment, one of our key goals has
therefore become to reduce CO2 emissions and energy
consumption by the maximum extent possible. For this
reason, in recent years we have put various projects in place:
installation of photovoltaic systems, sun shades for south-
facing buildings, LED lighting and thermal insulation for
the oldest buildings. Finally, in 2015, we carried out the two
most important projects which allowed us to obtain Carbon
Neutrality certification: a trigeneration plant and a district
heating system, powered by a biogas cogeneration plant.

WATER RESOURCES7.1.1 WATER CYCLE ANALYSISWorking towards water sustainability is a topic of key
interest to companies today. Committing to a reduction in
our water consumption means investing in new technologies,
studying the processes in depth and preparing ourselves for
the possible future scenarios. During 2016 Lamborghini
performed an analysis on its water cycle in partnership
with the University of Bologna with the goal of identifying
water saving measures to achieve a reduction of 25%
of the specific water consumption per vehicle produced
compared to 2010 by December 2018. Initial analyses and
inspections were performed in order to identify the most
water-intensive departments and activities. Subsequently,
we fitted the identified user equipment/processes with
dedicated meters in order to record the individual water
consumption figures. At the same time, we attempted to
identify an indicator which would allow us to quantify the
intensity of the activity or part thereof, to which we could
associate the water consumption value, in order to identify
a trend in water use over a time period of around four
months (October 2016 to January 2017). In late September,
the following water meters were installed:
• Production Test Rooms
• Finishing Water Testing
• PSC-Protoshop Water Testing
• Autoclave 1 (ACRC)
• Autoclave 2 (ACRC)
• Electric Autoclave (ACRC)
• Testing Department (Esperienza) Testing Rooms (R&D)
All listed water meters were monitored via readings taken
twice a week, generally Tuesday mornings and Thursday
afternoons, in order to record consumption during the
working week (Thursday) and during the weekend with the
plant shut down or partially operational (Tuesday).
Specific consumption indicators by activity
In order to create specific consumption indicators, the
activities connected to the water line whose consumption is
measured by each meter were defined. The specific
standardized indicators for the activities connected with
the consumption were then determined; these are listed
below:
Results of the Analysis
From a point of view of the non-industrial uses, the water
consumption per meal served, proportional to the number
of people in the company, is generally stable, although an
increase in the third period was noted. Considering the
average consumption of 150 liters per inhabitant given
by the Emilia Romagna region, and the ISTAT factor for
catering of 0.7 times the consumption per inhabitant,
we obtain a value per meal served of 105 liters. Taking
into account that the number of people in the company
is undoubtedly higher than the meals served, the
measurements are in line with expectations.
With regard to the industrial process, Autoclave 1 in the
ACRC department is the biggest user amongst those
monitored.
Water mains 1 and 2 Number of meals served
Production Test Room Number of engines tested
PSC Water Testing Number of vehicles tested
Finishing Water Testing Number of vehicles tested
Autoclave 1 Hours of operation
Autoclave 2 Hours of operation
Electrical Autoclave Hours of operation
Testing Department (Esperienza)Testing Rooms Liters of fuel
25
The analysis also brought to light some unusual
consumption which will require further analysis over the
course of 2017:
• Unusual consumption over the weekend: during the
monitoring, it was found that consumption, particularly
those for non-industrial uses (from the mains), increased
during the weekend period between Thursday and
Tuesday of the following week compared to that recorded
between Tuesday and Thursday of the same week.
• Non-measured well-water consumption: it is probable
that a significant proportion of the well water is not
recorded by the installed meters, and this quantity is
increasing over time. This implies the presence of water-
intensive processes which have not been recognized or
identified as such.
Improvement Proposals
The actions identified to reduce consumption are listed
below:
1. Equip autoclave 1 with a closed-circuit water recovery
system
2. Equip the toilet cisterns with a dual-flush mechanism
3. Provide employees with specific training to raise their
awareness on the importance of saving water
4. Retain the monitoring of the meters, if necessary adding
others for water-intensive areas, and also to increase
our knowledge of the entire water cycle inside the plant
5. In the event of a positive outcome of the analysis of
the water going into and coming out of the Esperienza
testing rooms, fit these with closed-circuit evaporating
towers
The technical feasibility of the first project has already
been confirmed, and the work has been entered in the
Improvement Plan.
Thanks to this work, the company has managed to increase
its knowledge of the water cycle. In particular, the water-
intensive processes have been identified by quantifying
the individual user equipment/processes using water
meters and indicators which standardize consumption,
both on the basis of the duration of the activities and
their intensity. The information gathered has also made
it possible to reconstruct the company’s water network
using the EPANET software. EPANET creates long-term
simulations of the behavior and the quality of the water
inside a system. It allows input files to be created which
describe the water network, to run simulations and to
create a predictive consumption model when new systems
are installed or the existing process changed.
7.1.2 NEW WATER PURIFICATION AND RECIRCULATION SYSTEMOver the course of 2016, construction began on a new
chemical-physical treatment plant which will collect
all wastewater from the current and future plant. The
wastewater from the current plant will be collected in a
50 m3 underground tank and sent via a pumping station to
the gravity drained industrial wastewater network serving
the new area.
The total capacity will be pumped up and sent under
pressure to the new wastewater treatment system, to
which the industrial wastewater from the extended area
will also be conveyed via gravity drainage.
The treated water coming out of the new purifier will
be recycled into the industrial water system serving
the production process, while the excess will be sent to
the public sewerage drain SN_7_IND in Via Suor Teresa
Veronesi.
26 - AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
ENERGY Energy is one of the most important environmental
aspects, and for this reason it is administrated via a
specific management system, as established by ISO 50001.
The energy sources used by Automobili Lamborghini are
electricity and natural gas. Electricity is used to operate
plant systems involved in the production process and for
illuminating the facilities, while natural gas is used mostly
for heating offices and industrial areas, as well as to
produce domestic hot water. Given the size of the plants
and the offices, the proportion of energy used for lighting
and heating is greater than that used for the production
processes.
7.2.1 TRIGENERATION Our trigeneration plant, commissioned in May 2015, is a
highly efficient system which allows heating, cooling and
electricity to be produced using one single fuel, which
in Lamborghini’s case is natural gas. The transformation
of heat energy into refrigeration power is made possible
by the use of the refrigeration cycle via an absorption
chiller, whose operation is based on phase changes of the
refrigerant in combination with the substance used as an
absorbent.
The Automobili Lamborghini plant has an installed power
of 1.2 MWhe. The electricity generated is distributed
throughout the Company via a transformer, while the
thermal energy is distributed via a hot water line. In
the event of peaks in the energy demand, the original
thermal power plants operate as backup to the system.
The installed thermal capacity is 1,190 kWt, and is used
during the winter period, from November to March. During
the summer (from April to October) the refrigeration
output (approximately 890 kWh) is absorbed by the main
refrigeration units present in the Company. With a series of
small adaptations, the system can be converted to run on
biogas in the future.
In 2016 work began on the construction of a second
trigeneration system which will have the same
specifications as the existing one. The system will be
commissioned in summer 2017.
7.2.2 DISTRICT HEATINGDistrict heating is a form of heating which consists of the
distribution of hot water from a heating plant through a
network of insulated underground pipes, which then
returns to the same heating plant. Automobili Lamborghini
is the first automotive company in Italy to have a district
heating system.
This system supplies hot water from a cogeneration plant,
which runs on biogas, located in Nonantola (around 6 km away).
The hot water (85°C) produced by the plant is transported
via underground pipes to the Lamborghini facility, where it
releases its thermal energy to heat the buildings.
7.2.3 NEW ENERGY HUBIn 2016, construction began on an Energy Hub to serve the
URUS segment. The following will be implemented inside
the Energy Hub:
• Cooling plant
• Heating plant
• Water plant
• Compressed air plant
All the above plants will be served by a dedicated electrical
cabin inside the same building.
Cooling Plant
Two water-cooled screw compressor chillers will be installed
in the cooling plant for the production of chilled water. Two
heat recovery air-cooled chillers will be installed on the
roof of the building beside the two open cooling towers.
The flow and return manifolds will be connected to the
existing refrigerated water networks of the trigeneration
system outside the plant itself.
In an attempt to optimize the energy efficiency of the
production plant and the circulation of refrigerated
water, the chosen solution is a single circulation system
with inverter-driven electric pumps. All the temperature
regulation systems on the consumer services will use
two-way valves in order to be able to drive the inverters
themselves with a command taken from a pressure sensor
installed on the flow manifold.
The following outlet lines will be installed on the refrigeration
plant:
• Flow and return lines for the new Warehouse, ZP8, ZP7
buildings
• Flow and return lines to connect to the existing trigeneration
lines serving the CFK and NORTH segment
27
The existing lines of the trigeneration systems must be
connected both to the refrigeration plant and the heating
plant.
Heating plant
Installed in the new heating plant will be two fire tube
boilers for producing hot water, and a heat exchanger
with the function of a decoupler, in turn connected to the
lines from the trigeneration plant. A boiler/trigeneration
sequence system is provided for, which will prioritize the
operation of the latter.
Water Plant
The new water plant will be fed by the mains riser and the
existing wells. The mains riser will fill a tank which will
distribute water to all the new buildings. The well water,
once filtered, will feed an underground tank below the
plant itself, which will be treated with chlorine.
Branching off from the manifold, as well as the line feeding
the new warehouse, assembly and finishing buildings, will
be a further two lines which will independently feed two
reverse-osmosis systems to produce RO purified water.
This RO purified water will then be stored in two external
fiberglass tanks; a constant-pressure pressurization
system will draw water off from these and distribute it to
the new buildings.
The choice has been made not to install a water softening
system but rather to use an RO system and then mix this
water with hard water at the points of use which would
normally be supplied with softened water. This is to
guarantee better water quality, to reduce the consumption
of water discharged from the towers, and to avoid the
problem of discharged chlorides.
7.2.4 ELECTRICAL ENERGY: USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY Between 2010 and 2011, Automobili Lamborghini installed
a photovoltaic system to provide electricity for internal use
on the roofs of the parking areas, with a power output of
678 kWp and producing approximately 830,000 kWh/year.
In 2016, the system allowed a reduction in CO2 emissions
equivalent to 343 tonnes. The remaining portion of
electricity used comes from renewable sources and is
purchased via “Green Certificates”: these certify the
renewable origins of the energy sources used from
qualified plants. Each certificate has a value of 1 MWh and
is issued according to the amount of electricity sent to the
grid by qualified systems. In 2016, 16,211 Green Certificates
were purchased.
7.2.5 ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF THE NEW BUILDINGS Lamborghini has established more restrictive criteria for
the construction of its new buildings:
• All new buildings must be energy class A, in other words
with energy consumption below 7 kWh/m3/year
• All new buildings must be NZEB (Near Zero Emission
Buildings) An NZEB is a building with very high energy
performance which allows it to achieve virtually zero
energy consumption. Its energy requirements are
covered by energy produced within the system, almost
exclusively from renewable sources
Pre-Series Center
The PSC-Protoshop, inaugurated in July 2012, is the first
multi-floor industrial building in Italy to be certified with
a class A energy rating. Natural gas is not used to heat
this building, because the air conditioning system consists
of heat pumps, so the only type of energy used during
operation is electricity. The building is equipped with solar
panels and provides annual savings of 44 tonnes CO2e.
Over the course of 2016, the building was significantly
enlarged by constructing a new adjacent building entirely
connected to the existing one. The climate control
system is a direct expansion, variable refrigerant flow
system. A mechanical ventilation system is present which
recovers the heat energy from the air extracted from the
environment via a thermodynamic cycle, which in effect
is a very high efficiency heat pump. This system satisfies
the conditions for calculation of the renewable energy of
aerothermal origin (ERES) and therefore contributes to
the achievement of the RES quota, allowing energy class
A to be maintained.
New Logistics Center
In September 2013 the New 10,000 m2 Logistics Center
was inaugurated. Thanks to the cutting-edge systems
and materials used in its construction, the new center
has obtained a Class A energy rating. Compared to the
previous one, which was located about ten kilometers (six
miles) from Sant’Agata, the New Logistics Center allows
for a reduction in transport costs and the corresponding
CO2 emissions.
28 - AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
Improvements have also been made to the qualitative-
logistics processes thanks to greater optimization of the
loading and unloading areas. As of January 2016, logistics
activity has been moved to the Temporary Logistic Center
to allow the building to be transformed from a logistics
warehouse to a new assembly line for the third model.
DESI Training Center
The Training Center is energy class A+ certified. This result
is due to:
• The good level of insulation of the outer structure,
including the floor in particular
• The use of controlled mechanical ventilation throughout
the building, with high-performance heat-recovery units
• The adoption of a high-performance heat-pump climate-
control system with heat recovery
A direct expansion climate-control system with heat
recovery has been adopted, able to run the internal units
of the radiated zones in cooling mode and others in heating
mode. In practice, this means that the system is able to
transfer the radiated heat from the training classrooms
due to lighting and laptops to the rooms opposite requiring
heating; in general, this provides a very high level of
performance during shoulder seasons as it is able to cool
the areas with a tendency to overheat, removing their
heat and transferring this to the colder areas. All rooms
are served by a forced air exchange system composed of
three mechanical ventilation units with heat recovery, one
for each of the three zones of the climate-control system.
The high recovery efficiency of the controlled mechanical
ventilation system – over 80% – permits a significant
reduction in energy consumption compared to natural
ventilation.
OFFICE BLOCK 1: the first LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design)-certified building
In 2015 Automobili Lamborghini began the LEED
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
certification process for the new office building known as
Office Block 1. The system used, LEED for new construction
and major renovations, is not limited to the assessment
of the building’s energy performance, but certifies its
sustainability, understood as the environmental quality,
both interior and exterior, and the impact of the building
on the surrounding ecosystem, as well as its consumption
of energy and environmental resources. It is a rating
which measures the environmental performance of green
buildings both in the design stage and the construction and
management phases, promoting a system of integrated
design which relates to the entire building. The assessment
criteria are divided into the design phase and construction
phase; while official assessment with preliminary approval
of the design phase is possible, certification is obtained
only once construction is complete following the official
inspection with approval of the construction phase.

individual comfort controls available to them.
During the construction phase, the contractor was
required to adopt various environmental management
practices, ranging from sorting waste to controlling dust
and waste water, both meteoric and non (for example
wash water polluted with concrete), sealing air vents
and ensuring there was no smoking inside the building
during construction, as well as specific checks by a
Commissioning Authority to ensure correct operation of
the systems, with resulting reductions in management
and maintenance costs. As regards the materials used,
both sustainability characteristics, such as the origin
and content of the construction materials, and the VOC
emissions were subject to monitoring. These construction
strategies, documented through continuous monitoring of
the site, combined with activities performed directly by
Lamborghini for the management phase, will be reviewed
by third party GBCI on completion of construction.
Over the course of 2016, the Office Block 1 design underwent
preliminary revision by the GBCI (Green Building
Certification Institute), while the final score will be tallied
only upon completion of works in 2017. The project
stands out for its energy efficiency and efficient use
of water, internal comfort and visual connection with
the exterior, as well as for the inclusion of green areas
in a production area mainly featuring asphalt-covered
surfaces.
Office Block 1 consumes 38% less energy than a standard
building; does not use potable water for irrigation, but
rather only rain water; and finally the mixer taps and the
WC cisterns specified consume 57% less water than a
standard building. The design also provides for 50% of the
site area to be planted with indigenous or adapted plants
which are not weeds and have low water requirements. All
of the occupants will be able to enjoy outdoor views from
their workstations or the meeting rooms, as well as having

CO2 EMISSIONS
7.3.1 CARBON FOOTPRINT PROJECTThe CO
2 emissions from the plant are caused mainly by
the use of energy: the combustion of natural gas and use
of electricity. Only part of the CO2 emissions produced
are due to combustion of gasoline for engine testing and
leaks in greenhouse-gas refrigerants contained in the
air conditioning systems and compressors serving the
production process.
In recent years, Automobili Lamborghini has decided to
further reinforce its environmental policy in the climate
sector by adhering to a voluntary commitment in line
with the government policies for the Kyoto protocol and
the European Union’s “Climate and Energy Package”. In
November 2012 the Company signed an agreement with
the Italian Ministry of the Environment and of Land and
Sea Protection with which it committed itself to creating
an inventory and monitoring plan of greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions, expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent,
in conformity with ISO14064:2012. In line with that
commitment the Company performed audits of the CO2
emissions produced (Carbon Footprint) by the entire
production process. The field of application included the
following:
• All fixed and mobile combustion sources and all leaks of
refrigerant from cooling systems, Scope 1
• Production of consumed electricity (indirect energy
sources), and heat imported, Scope 2 Since July 2015,
the Company has been keeping track of the greenhouse
gas emissions from the heat energy imported from the
district heating system (indirect GHG emissions – Scope 2)
• Transmission and distribution losses of natural gas and
electricity consumed on the operational site (other
indirect sources), Scope 3
Results of the 2016 Audit
Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.’s total emissions of greenhouse
gases for 2016 were 13,141.84 tCO2 e.

In 2016, the Scope 1 direct emissions represented the
emissions source with the greatest impact for the Company
(approximately 53% of the total). The main sources of
Scope 1, over which the Company has direct control, are
the combustion of natural gas, the use of gasoline and
refrigerant leaks.
The following table gives details for the Scope 1 emissions:

Bologna Carbon MarketComune di Bologna e imprese si confrontano su crediti di riduzione volontaria di CO2
7.3.2 “CO2 NEUTRAL” PROJECT
In July 2015 Automobili Lamborghini was the first
company in world to join DNV GL’s “Carbon Neutrality”
program, committing itself to offsetting its GHG
emissions from the use of electricity, natural gas and all
fossil fuels used for heating its buildings and generating
electricity at the Sant’Agata Bolognese production plant.
The offsetting process provides for tracking, reduction
and offsetting of these GHG emissions.
The certification, in accordance with the “Carbon
Neutrality” program, was the first in the world issued to
a company by DNV GL (Det Norske Veritas Germanischer
Lloyd, one of the world’s leading companies for
certification, assessment and the management of
environmental risk). Automobili Lamborghini reached
this target by reducing and offsetting the CO2 emissions
produced inside the production site. In order to reach
this significant goal, Lamborghini has implemented a
trigeneration system and a district heating system.
These are the two projects which provided the greatest
contribution to reducing the plant’s CO2 emissions.
CO2 emissions offsetting
Offsetting the CO2 emissions from the use of electricity is
performed through the purchase of “Green Certificates”:
these certify the renewable origins of the energy sources
used from qualified plants. Each certificate has a value of
1 MWh and is issued according to the amount of electricity
sent to the grid by qualified systems.
The remaining CO2 emissions are offset by purchasing
carbon credits on the Bologna Carbon Market (BoCaM):
1 carbon credit is equivalent to one tonne of CO2. The
Bologna Carbon Market (BoCaM) is a market for voluntary
carbon credits developed at the local level by the City of
Bologna.
As mentioned in last year’s edition, the City of Bologna
has, indeed, experimented with the creation of a real
market in which public bodies can “create” voluntary
carbon credits generated by their projects and policies,
certified by a third party, which private companies can
purchase to offset their CO2 emissions. Carbon credits are
reliable, ISO 14065 certified, and connected to projects
which can be verified in the long term and to private
purchasers working in the same geographical area.
This initiative achieves continuity with the GAIA project
for offsetting emissions through urban reforestation
projects – in which the Biometeorology institute of
Italy’s national research council, CNR, has identified the
types of trees with the greatest potential for absorbing
pollution and the lowest allergen risk – by analyzing
various ecological and physiological characteristics.
The calculation for the estimate of stored CO2 was
applied to a first set of 24 species which, on the basis
of scientific knowledge and information provided by the
City of Bologna, were found to be particularly suitable for
planting in an urban environment.
On the basis of these prerequisites, interested companies
are therefore able to purchase credits as part of their
CSR or at the end of a corporate improvement program.
The idea for the project came from a previous European
project the City of Bologna was involved in: LAIKA, during
the course of which a model local carbon credit market
was simulated from a technical standpoint only.
Thanks to our company, which offered to be the pilot
for the purchase of certified local credits linked to the
cycle lane creation project, and for the BoCaM project
supported by Climate-KIC, the City of Bologna was able
to also assess the economic and administrative process,
thus creating a true market and opening up a path to a
virtuous and sustainable collaborative model. A carbon
credit market structured in this manner indeed helps
increase environmental sustainability for all players

without reducing this simply to an economic exchange.
The purchase took place through a partnership between
the City and Automobili Lamborghini, which signed an
expanded MOA compared to that already used for the
GAIA-urban reforestation project.
With the contribution received, the City of Bologna also
financed urban reforestation operations linked to bicycle
mobility: specifically, the work to which contributions
were made involved replacing some trees in specific
sections of boulevards.
Indeed, for some years, at the beginning of summer the
horse chestnuts in the city have been struck by disease
and losing their leaves, leading not only to an aesthetic
decline but also rendering them less effective from an
environmental standpoint: the lack of photosynthesis
means they capture less carbon dioxide, and the lack of
shade does not attenuate the heat island effect.
In detail, the trees of two traffic dividers in the City of
Bologna were therefore replaced. The first is between Via
Savenella and Via Rubbiani, where the horse chestnuts
were replaced by planting 26 ash trees (Fraxinus
angustifolia Raywood), which are particularly effective
at capturing particulates and CO2, as well as being highly
decorative in fall, the leaves taking on lovely reddish
tones; the second is between Porta San Felice and the
pedestrian crossing near Via Calori, where 22 sophoras
were replaced with 46 zelkovas (Zelkova carpinifolia,
Caucasian elm), a species which, as well as being exotic
(although no more so than the sophora it replaced), is
particularly effective at capturing particulate matter and
CO2, as well as being fast growing.
35
This work, which effectively represents a prototype in this
area, is also a first step from a cultural point of view in

36 - AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
THE LAMBORGHINI PARK7.4.1 BIODIVERSITY: OAK FOREST PROJECTOver the last 50 years, the use of fossil fuels (oil, gas)
for energy, deforestation and intensive agriculture have
led to a rapid increase in the concentration of CO2, with
an increase in the planet’s average temperature and
significant repercussions on the global climate. Although
there may be other aggravating causes, the majority of
scientists agree that CO2 is the main reason behind what
our planet is undergoing. What the consequences might be
for man and the other forms of life on our planet are not
easily foreseeable.
There are various strategies which could be put into play:
reducing energy consumption by modifying our behavior,
developing more energy-efficient technologies, increasing the
production and use of renewable energy sources, capturing
and storing carbon in the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems
by adopting more conservative farming practices, and
reforesting farmland or marginal areas. It is precisely this
context in which the Lamborghini Biodiversity project fits.
Thanks to the economic commitment of Lamborghini, in
collaboration with the Universities of Bologna and Bolzano
and with the supervision of the University of Munich, in
spring 2011 over 9,000 oak (Quercus robur) saplings were
planted over an area of around 17 acres (70,000 m2) in
the town of Sant’Agata Bolognese (Bologna) in a layout
repeated in an absolutely identical manner in various
European countries (Germany, Poland, Belgium, Hungary).
Two large circles over 100 meters in diameter were planted
in the largest portion of the area, each circle consisting
of 14 concentric rings whose radius increases with the
distance from the center of the circle. In this way, each
single tree will have a growing space that varies from 0.1
to 200 m2. By monitoring this plantation over the years
and over decades to come, it will be possible to better
understand the relationship between forest productivity,
density, the capacity to absorb carbon and to maintain
biodiversity based on the climate.
Like all green plants, trees absorb CO2 through
photosynthesis, transforming it into a large number of
molecules essential for their growth. A significant part of
the absorbed carbon remains fixed in their wood, however.
On average, around 40-50% of wood weight is composed
of carbon atoms. A significant part of this trapped carbon
also reaches the ground through falling leaves and root
turnover. This carbon is very important as, above all
thanks to soil bacteria and fungi, it is partly transformed
into humus, a very stable form of carbon if the woods are
not damaged.
A young wood initially fixes a relatively small quantity
of carbon in its young trunks, branches, roots and soil,
but as the plants grow and the soil evolves, the amount
of accumulated carbon becomes significant. After four
seasons, the initial results are available, which are already
of some, albeit preliminary, interest. The growth of the
trees has, indeed, been strongly influenced by the distance
37
from the center of the circles, and therefore the planting
density. The plants nearest to the center, which are growing
at a greater density, have developed more in terms of height
than those further from the center, which were planted at
lower densities.
The trunk diameter (measured at the base), on the other
hand, showed the opposite trend in comparison with the
planting density. The trees planted at a greater density,
indeed, have a smaller trunk diameter than those planted
at lower densities. In summary, as density increases, the
oak saplings have a smaller trunk diameter but reach
greater heights. Over the last year we have also noted that
the height at which the crown starts is influenced by the
planting density: this is, indeed, significantly greater in the
plants closer to the center compared to those further away.
The effects of planting density on tree development are
most likely due to the greater competition for light in the
more densely planted areas, which causes the plants to
invest greater resources into obtaining height, leading to
the death of the lowest branches with the least exposure
to light. In previous years, these effects were absent or
less visible because the plants were less well developed
and there was therefore less competition between them for
light. The observed differences have repercussions not only
on the quantity of carbon accumulated in the wood biomass,
but also on the quantity of leaves and roots produced by
the plant, and as a consequence on the quantity of carbon
transferred by the plants to the soil. From the preliminary
analyses performed to date, the concentration of carbon
in the first soil layer (0-30 cm depth) is equivalent to 1.1%,
which corresponds to a total quantity of carbon of 43.2
ton/ha.
The soil sampling and analysis which will be performed on
the park over the coming years will allow an assessment of
the carbon content increase in the soil on the basis of the
planting density. The research on the Sant’Agata park will
therefore contribute to providing precious information on
the carbon dynamics in natural woods and indications on
how to maximize accumulation in reforested areas and
artificial woods.
7.4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL BIO-MONITORING AT LAMBORGHINI PARKIn April 2016 Automobili Lamborghini decided to augment
its park with an apiary in order to begin environmental bio-
monitoring activities using bees.
Bees play a key role in maintaining ecosystems since 80%
of plants depend on pollination by insects and about a third
of fruit and vegetables depend on pollination from bees.
Bees represent a model of sustainability because they use
flowers to extract their energy and food, but plants are
provided with energy in return in the form of pollination.
Flowers are widespread distributors of energy, bees are
flying means of transportation and the hive is a processing
and storage center in the form of honey. The ecosystems
stay balanced because the bees ensure reproduction for
the plants. Bees can be used as excellent environmental
38 - AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
indicators as they indirectly monitor the state of the
surrounding region. Their tendency to explore every corner
of the area in search of resources means that every day
the foraging bees of a hive make millions of collections
from various environmental components: flowers for pollen
and nectar, leaves infested with aphids to gather honeydew
(later transformed into honey), buds and stems to gather
the resin required to produce propolis, and the sources of
water required to regulate the hive’s temperature.
The Automobili Lamborghini project involves the installation
of an apiary composed of eight bee hives in the Lamborghini
Park. The apiary is around 600 meters from the company
facilities and 1.5 km from the town of Sant’Agata Bolognese,
which are therefore within the area monitored by the bees.
During 2016, all components from three out of eight hives
were sampled three times and analyzed (honey, pollen,
wax and the bees themselves) to detect any localized
environmental pollution: heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, dioxins, but also any pesticides used in
farming and in urban or private gardens. The data obtained
from the three stages of analyses can be summarized as
follows:
• In two out of three samples, concentrations of some
heavy metals were found which were over the threshold.
These values, however, are within normal ranges and the
concentrations found were not harmful.
• No concentrations of pesticides above the threshold
were found at any time.
• No concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
above the threshold were found at any time, either in the
honey or the foraging bees.
• Only in the June sampling was the presence of a dioxin
(octachlorodibenzodioxin) in a concentration higher than
the detectable threshold identified. In any case, the most
conservative value which can be calculated for the total
amount of dioxins and furans present in the honey is in
line with the average quantity measured in fruits and
vegetables, and can be considered significantly below
dangerous levels, given the limited quantity of honey
eaten on a daily basis.
Aside from its ecological purposes, the project also
aims to produce certified Lamborghini brand honey. The
quantity of honey produced largely depends on seasonal
patterns and on the availability of blossoms. In 2016, the
three hives produced around 240 kg of honey. The first
production was composed of wildflower honey, followed
by lime blossom honey and then alfalfa over the course of
the summer. The analyses performed allow us to state with
certainty that the honey produced during the year is safe
and healthy.
Even though the surrounding environment features a
limited number of natural areas (with the exception of the
oak wood), the predominant presence of extensive crops
subjected to limited amounts of chemicals has limited
damage to the bees and the accumulation of residue in the
honey.

8 ENERGY USE
Over the last three years, significant changes have been
made to the plant’s energy system. In particular, with the
installation of the trigeneration system and the district
heating system coming on line with the corresponding
dedicated absorption chiller, the energy input flows have
been modified.
To better understand the energy flows which currently
provide the plant’s energy requirements, a diagram is
given below showing the energy supply, transformation
and requirements necessary for the processes to operate
correctly.
SUPPLY AND REQUIREMENT BALANCEThe significant importance represented by the internal
transformation of energy has made it necessary to
develop two different types of energy balance: supply and
requirement.
Both approaches are required to correctly deal with the
company’s energy trends, and each allows us to obtain
specific information.
The supply balance allows us to obtain important information on
the tonnes of CO2 produced to satisfy the energy requirements
of the production site, as well as being necessary for the
analysis of the economic flows related to the energy supply.
The requirement balance, on the other hand, allows us to
assess how efficient the company energy system is. As a
matter of fact, the efficiency measures undertaken in the
improvement plans have allowed growth of the energy
requirement to be contained, taking on the significant
expansion in production and the heated and cooled areas
in recent years in an expedient manner.
The extremely dynamic nature which has always been a
feature of the Automobili Lamborghini production plant
has allowed us to take on new energy and environmental
challenges which aim to harmonize a growth in production
with curbs in emissions, a reduction in consumption
and respect for the environment. The numbers for 2016
confirm the positive trend and highlight the effectiveness
of the actions undertaken via the integrated environmental
and energy management system.

In 2016, the total energy used for the plants’ requirements,
including buildings given over to logistics and storage of
materials, was 6,492 toe (tonne of oil equivalent):
• 4,043 toe from the use of electricity
• 1,597 toe from the use of thermal energy
• 510 toe from the use of refrigeration
• 342 toe from the use of gasoline
The total energy supplied to the plants, on the other hand,
was 5,972 toe (tonne of oil equivalent):
• 3,184 toe from the use of mains electricity
• 2,299 toe from the use of mains natural gas
• 147 toe from heat energy from the district heating
system
• 342 toe from the use of gasoline
The increase in the electricity requirement compared to
2015 was due in particular to the energy requirements of
the Temporary Logistic Center and for the site expansion
for the production line for the third model. As regards the
supply of energy from external networks, the values have
stabilized, remaining more or less at 2015 levels.

ENERGY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR (ENPI)In order to monitor the origin and trend of the production
site’s energy consumption, the characteristic energy
indicators have been recorded for some time. The energy
indicators are always composed of two fundamental values:
Energy Consumption and Energy Drivers.
The energy drivers represent independent variables
which correlate closely with the energy consumption
of the company structure. For each aspect of the
company’s activities, an appropriate energy indicator
has been developed, with the choice of the most
appropriate energy driver. Indeed, simple comparison
of the energy consumption for different years would not
correctly describe the actual trends of the production
site’s energy system, as this would be influenced by the
energy drivers encountered in the different time periods.
For example, the energy used for heating or cooling may
be justifiably greater in years with a particularly cold
winter or a particularly hot summer. In the same manner, a
sudden increase in electricity use may be justified by the
start-up of new production lines or new plants.
In the energy system currently under consideration, the
indicators used to track the efficiency of the improvement
plan are as follows:

The specific consumptions listed as EnPI highlight the
positive savings trend in the last three-year period. The two
indicators which most clearly highlight the results achieved
by the improvement plan are certainly those relating to the
heating and cooling of the buildings. In particular, it can be
seen in the following graphics standardizing consumption for
winter and summer climatic conditions (DegreeDays) and the
volumes heated and cooled (Vheated and Vcooled). The goal
of achieving a decrease in both indicators of 15% compared
to the 2014 baseline by December 2018 has been set.

This improvement has been obtained through significant
work to improve heating and cooling efficiency, such as
installing heat recovery devices in the CFK booth air
treatment units, but also the design focus for the new
buildings with minimum class A energy performance.
GASOLINE USE The use of gasoline by the R&D department is due to
testing of new prototype engines, while production
consumption is due to tests on the engines of vehicles
leaving the production line. Gasoline consumption for the
three-year period 2014-2016 is given in the table.
The following table gives the data on consumption in
relation to type of use.
Over the course of 2016, total gasoline consumption
increased compared to 2015. This increase is due solely
to the number of road tests performed by the test drivers.
Consumption from the testing rooms (R&D and production)
actually decreased alongside the number of vehicles
manufactured.

CO2 EMISSIONS
The CO2 produced inside the plant is caused mainly by
the combustion of natural gas in heating plants and in the
trigeneration system for heating offices and production
departments, as well as by the consumption of electricity
in offices and production departments. Only part of the CO2
emissions produced are due to combustion of gasoline for
engine testing and leaks in greenhouse-gas refrigerants
contained in the air conditioning systems and compressors
serving the production process. All data relating to CO2
emissions are listed in detail in chapter 7.
Since 2014, with the consolidation of the calculation
methodology according to ISO 14064, the emissions
factors are selected on the basis of some important
principles dictated by the standard itself:
• Use well-documented sources of recognized origin
• Use the appropriate factor which is specific for the
activity data
• Use the factor which refers to the period of time relating
to the accounting
In general, there is a huge range of emissions factors
available. In order to obtain the highest possible quality
of data, when possible a national set of specific data for
the activities under examination has been used. Where
this has not been possible, the most relevant data sources
have been used, for example: IPCC, DEFRA or ADE.ME
(French Environment Agency).
Greenhouse gas emissions resulting from consumption
of electricity from the Italian mains electricity grid have
been accounted for on the basis of the emissions factor
for the Italian electricity network for 2013, the most recent
emissions factor officially published by ISPRA (National
Inventory Report, 2015).
As regards the emissions deriving from refrigerant leaks,
the emissions factor data source is the following: 2006
IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
Details of the emissions deriving from leaks of refrigerant
contained inside the Company air conditioning plants for
the three-year period 2014-2016 are listed below:
All calculation algorithms were validated during the ISO
14064 audit.
USE OF PAINTS, ADHESIVES AND SOLVENTS VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOCS)The use of solvents is a problematic aspect in Automobili
Lamborghini’s environmental management. Traditionally,
solvents have been used for cleaning vehicle body
components and molds. Heavy use of solvents leads to
high VOC emissions levels.
With a view to making progress towards environmental
sustainability, in 2014 the Industrial Management
department decided to undertake a process of analysis
and approval of alternative, water-based products.
Two projects were set in motion: the use of water-based
glue in the Upholstery Department, and a new “light
solvent” for the Composites Site.
2014 2015 2016 Unit
Total CO2 emissions due to
refrigerant leaks 682 430 290 [tCO2/year]
49
In the last year, the drop in production has led to a reduction in
the consumption of solvent-based products. The Upholstery
Department used 2,245 kg of water-based adhesive,
permitting a reduction in VOC emissions of 1.2 tonnes.
COMPOSITES SITE The following activities are performed in the Composites Site:
• Covering of surfaces: application of release agent on molds
of the various components of the Aventador monocoque.
• Cleaning of surfaces: washing the monocoque
components following their machining using machine
tools. The solvent is also used by the maintenance
department for cleaning the trolleys for carrying
the body shells impregnated with emulsified oil from
machining.
The consumption figures for the two above-mentioned
activity types are given below for the last three years.
Automobili Lamborghini monitors its solvent
consumption in order to keep track of the quantity of
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) consumed and
check conformity with the requirements of article 275
of Italian Legislative Decree 152/2006 regarding the
consumption of these substances for the following
activities:
• Paint retouching
• Adhesive covering
• Cleaning of surfaces

50 - AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
As mentioned in the previous editions of this Environmental
Statement, unlike in previous years the high consumption
of solvent from 2012 onwards exceeded the consumption
threshold established by Italian Legislative Decree
152/2006, above which the Company must meet special
requirements for handling the solvents. Since 2013, as
required by the competent authority (Province of Bologna),
the Company has presented a request for authorization
with a plan for managing solvents annexed, and at the
same time we have begun looking for alternative products
with lower environmental impact. Following introduction
of the new Solvent Light in the production process for
washing the body shells, the quantity of solvent-based
products consumed decreased from 8.2 tonnes in 2013 to
2.2 tonnes in 2015, ensuring that the limits specified by
Italian Legislative Decree 152/2006 are met.
Over the course of 2016, the production increase of body
shells has once again led to the limit being exceeded, and
the company has prepared the Solvent Management Plan.
WATER USE Water for Automobili Lamborghini premises is taken from
the mains supply and from wells belonging to the Company.
The water taken from the mains supply mostly serves non-
industrial purposes (bathrooms, cafeteria services and
cleaning).
In recent years, the Company has shown a strong
commitment to decreasing the use of drinking water by
progressively increasing its use of well water. The wells
currently supply the system serving the production
process, the water tests and vehicle and body shell washing,
topping up of the autoclave coolant water and irrigation
of green areas, with the sole exception of washing in the
customer service department. Well water usage in 2016
represented 50.3% of the total water used.
TOTAL WATER CONSUMPTIONFOR THREE-YEAR PERIOD 2014-2016

Total water consumption (m3/year) 108,676 102,378 92,431
51
In 2016, the total water consumed was 92,431 m3. The high
water consumption in 2014 was due to the numerous water
tests performed during the first few months of the year
on the new Huracáns. Once the production process of the
new model had stabilized, from 2015 onwards total water
consumption has decreased constantly. Moreover, the 2016
re-layout of the Customer Service Department led to the
Customer Workshop washing being decommissioned and
use of the component washing machine being suspended
temporarily. In the Composites Site we saw a significant
increase in well water consumption in summer 2015 due
to the commissioning of the trigeneration system, coupled
with above-average summer temperatures. During 2016,
the average summer temperatures allowed for lower water
consumption for cooling the evaporation towers.

WASTE WATER Each of the three production sites discharges waste into
the public sewer system separately. The following types of
waste discharge are present:
• Domestic-type waste water from bathrooms
• Industrial waste water generated by the production
process and by equipment (evaporation towers, vehicle
washing, water softeners, wet electrostatic precipitators
in the Composite Materials Department)
• Rainwater runoff from parking lots and outside areas
Waste water which might contain oil residue passes
through the oil separators. Compliance with legal limits
is monitored through scheduled analyses which are
performed by a specialized external laboratory. The only
waste for which regular analyses are not provided for are
those of the OOCC site.
Drain SN_1_IND will remain operational until the new purifier
is fully active; it is currently undergoing completion inside
the new production department under construction. Once
the operation of the new purifier and the transfer of water
from the old production department to the production
department under construction has been tested, the
Integrated Water System Management will be notified in
order to share the phases of closing the ordinary drain
SN_1_IND and opening the new drain SN_7_IND.

WASTE
The current temporary company waste storage area,
known as the “ecological area”, contains press-containers,
stationary presses, containers (iron and steel, aluminum,
electrical cables, glass, and unspecified waste), as well as
tanks for used oil (10 m3) and emulsions (15 m3). Hazardous
waste is stored inside the covered area. To determine
the weight of the waste hauled away by transport
companies, a special bridge scale for trucks has been
installed. Specialized workers collect, sort and transfer
all the special waste produced in the entire factory to the
Ecological Area.
During 2016, work began on the new WASTE AREA in
the south of the production segment. The new area is a
4,500 m2 rectangle where the following will be located:
• Guard cabin with adjacent changing rooms and toilets
• Bridge scale
• Shelter with forklift charger
• Tunnel for storage of hazardous materials
Part of the structure and materials will be taken from the
current waste area. The bridge scale will be positioned in
front of the guard cabin. High-strength concrete paving
areas will be created on the outside yard for positioning of
all containers, the stationary presses, the boxes and tanks
required for collection and storage of the materials from
the production departments. The rest of the area will be
paved with asphalt and drain into the stormwater runoff.
In the Main Production Site, hazardous waste is mainly
produced by work linked to the Finishing Department
(paints, solvents, sealants), the Composites Materials
Department, regular and special maintenance procedures
on plant systems and by refuse created by the use of
hazardous substances (contaminated rags and clothing,
etc.). In the CFK Center, the refuse produced is much less
diversified compared to the Main Production Site due to
the types of activities performed there.
The main refuse produced is as follows:
• Catalyzed resin waste (from production waste)
• Waste abrasive materials (from sandblasting and
machine-tool working)
• Waste water solutions (from body shell washing)
• Emulsions (machine tools)
• Contaminated iron and plastic packaging (from resin and
catalyst containers)
• Paper and cardboard packaging
• Wooden crates
• Mixed material packaging
• Aluminum (from product quality control)
The total quantity of waste produced in 2016 amounted to
1,446 tonnes, 955 of which were recycled and 491 sent
out for disposal. The total quantity of refuse has decreased
alongside the number of vehicles produced. In the three-
year period 2014-2016, the production of hazardous
waste per vehicle decreased significantly compared to
non-hazardous waste: from 302 kg in 2014 to 103 kg in
2016. This significant result is linked to the replacement
of the solvent used to wash the body shells in the CFK
Center Site, which allowed the corresponding waste to be
reclassified from hazardous to non-hazardous.
Moreover, in February 2016 a chemical/physical
purification system for treating the wash water was
commissioned; in recent years this was always disposed
of as waste. The system has been connected to the
industrial waste water network.
This system allowed us to avoid the disposal of around
2,500 m3 of wash water in 2016. With regard to the
non-hazardous waste, an increase in mixed-material
packaging, carbon fiber waste and occasional disposal of
out-of-use equipment occurred.

PACKAGING WASTE Fitting into a context ever increasingly geared towards
environmental sustainability, the Logistics Engineering
project aims to extend the use of standard VW Group or
“special” Lamborghini containers for procurement of
vehicle components and materials to virtually all suppliers.
These special containers, also known as “two-way”
containers, are completely reusable, unlike the cardboard
(“one-way”) containers.
In the event that “special containers” are developed, all
aspects relating to the quality/integrity of components,
stacking, transportability, and respecting stocking factors
during transport and warehousing are analyzed. These
containers are designed and guaranteed for the entire
vehicle life-cycle, and where the characteristics of the
components permit it (light, not excessively large parts),
the use of “green” materials is favored, for instance PPE,
which is 100% recyclable. In this area, the most relevant
types of packaging in terms of volume and significance
were considered; these consist of:
• Wooden packaging (pallets and containers)
• Paper and cardboard packaging (packaging for consumables
and for rolls of carbon fiber)
• Plastic packaging (bags containing carbon jigs and plastic
packaging for consumables)
• Mixed material packaging (packaging for consumables and
vacuum bags)
The table below shows the figures for the three-year
period 2014-2016:
During the three-year period a constant decrease can be
seen in all packaging waste, with the exception of mixed
material packaging.

GREENHOUSE GAS REFRIGERANTS As previously described, there are numerous air-conditioning
systems and compressors containing refrigerant gases at the
three sites. These gases are classified as substances which
are potentially harmful to the environment. The systems are
subject to a specific monitoring regime as provided for by
Regulation no. 517/2014 on fluorinated gases.
Performance of these periodic checks allows any leaks to
be found and any losses to be limited, but breakages can
nevertheless occur, with consequent escape of gas.
The quantities of gases that were added to in 2016 are
listed below, divided by type:

USE OF OILSOils are used by the Company for filling the vehicle
lubrication circuits (engine installation, vehicle assembly
and testing), for lubricating the automatic equipment
which performs the mechanical work and for filling the
autoclave heating system. A non-hazardous vegetable-
based emulsive oil was also introduced in the Composites
Site in 2013; this makes the body shell surfaces less greasy
and therefore allows for a reduction in the solvent used for
subsequent cleaning. The total oil consumption data over
the course of the three-year period 2014-2016 is given
below. The efficiency indicator shows that the quantity of
oil consumed for each vehicle is constantly decreasing.

FIRE PREVENTION AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENTThe Main Production Site is with a fire-suppression system
fed by the mains water system. This system serves a
ring of hydrants and a number of sprinkler systems
(for example, in the engine test rooms, parking garage,
technical areas, emissions laboratory etc.). In 2012, a new
pumping station for the sprinkler systems, for the outside
UNI 75 hydrant ring and for the internal hydrant network
was built at the new PSC-Proto Shop facility. This station
will serve all water-based firefighting systems that will
be constructed inside the facility in the future. Other
technical areas at risk of fire (the engine test rooms in the
R&D Dept., the storage area for inflammable materials,
Data Center etc.) are protected by fire detectors and
aerosol-type extinguishing systems. Compact smoke
detectors have been installed in the most critical areas at
the factory and in offices. The Company has also installed
a centralized emergency system; all fire alarms from the
various detection and extinguishing systems are relayed
to this system. If an alarm occurs, the system also sends
an SMS in real time that communicates the type of alarm
and its location to all the members of the fire prevention
team. A new supervisory system was added in 2012 to
monitor the alarms that occur in new plant systems and
in plant systems that may be installed in the future. The
most critical departments and areas are also separated by
REI 120 fireproof doors or walls to prevent flames from
spreading. All firefighting equipment is subject to regular
maintenance and inspection by internal staff or qualified
external personnel, as required by applicable law, to
ensure it will operate flawlessly if needed. Specific training
on the Emergency and Evacuation Plan has been given to
all workers, and evacuation drills have been run in each
building.
The Main Production Site was issued a Fire Prevention
Certificate on 12 September 2011 (for activities 2, 3a, 15,
17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 64, 72, 91).
The CFK Center is fitted with a sprinkler system protecting
the whole production plant. This is fed by a group of pumps
59
comprising two diesel pumps plus one auxiliary connected
to a 600 m3 water tank which is filled with mains water.
There is a fire-detection system and smoke vents in the
roof. Most importantly, the most critical departments and
areas are separated by REI 120 fireproof doors or walls to
prevent flames from spreading. All firefighting equipment
is subject to regular maintenance and inspection by
internal staff or qualified external personnel, as required
by applicable law, to ensure it will operate flawlessly if
needed.
Specific training on the Emergency and Evacuation Plan
has been given to all workers, and evacuation drills have
been run in each building. The Company was issued a Fire
Prevention Certificate on 28 April 2010 which was valid
until 28 April 2013 (for activities 17, 43, 57, 58, 91).
The Out of Clave Center site has a fire-suppression system
fed with mains water to supply the ring of fire hydrants. The
most critical departments and areas are also separated by
REI 120 fireproof doors or walls to prevent flames from
spreading. All firefighting equipment is subject to regular
maintenance and inspection by internal staff or qualified
external personnel, as required by applicable law, to ensure
it will operate flawlessly if needed.
Specific training on the Emergency and Evacuation Plan
has been given to all workers, and evacuation drills have
been run in each building. The Company was issued a Fire
Prevention Certificate (for activity 1) on 11 June 2009,
which was valid until 28 April 2012. An application for its
renewal was filed on 03 May 2012.

10Concept Description
Environmental Aspect
Element of an organization’s products, services or activities which can interact
with the environment (ISO 14001 - Point 3.6).
N.b.: a significant environmental aspect is an environmental aspect which has a
significant environmental impact.
Environmental impactAny modification to the environment, negative or beneficial, which is caused
wholly or in part by an organization’s environmental aspects (ISO 14001 - Point 3.7)
BOD
(Biological oxygen demand)
Quantity of oxygen necessary to biologically oxidize the organic substances
present in waste water.
The higher the BOD, the greater the concentration of organic substances present.
COD
(Chemical oxygen demand)
Quantity of oxygen necessary to chemically oxidize both the organic and inorganic
substances contained in waste water.
The relationship between COD and BOD is an index of the biodegradability of the
water.
TOE
(tonne of oil equivalent)
Unit of energy measurement. The TOE is used, for example, in energy accounts and
statistical evaluations and is equivalent to the amount of energy released by the
combustion of one tonne of crude oil.
Ozone layer
Ozone is a gas present in significant concentrations in the stratosphere, the
atmospheric layer between approximately 17 and 48 km above the earth’s crust,
where it forms a protective barrier against solar UV radiation.
When this Environmental Statement was drawn up, an
effort was made to use simple language so that the
document is easy to understand and can be read by the
greatest number of people. Nevertheless, it was necessary
to use a certain number of technical terms which are not
in common usage. Brief explanations of these terms are
given below.

Greenhouse gas, GHG
Gaseous component of the atmosphere, both of natural and anthropogenic origin,
which absorbs and emits radiation at specific wavelengths in the infrared spectrum
emitted by the surface of the earth, the atmosphere and clouds.
GHGs include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (natural gas, CH
4), Nitrous oxide
(N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride
(SF6) (ISO 14064 - Point 2.1).
Greenhouse Gas EmissionTotal mass of a GHG released into the atmosphere over a specific time period (ISO
14064 - Point 2.5)
Greenhouse Gas SourcePhysical component or process which releases a GHG into the atmosphere (ISO
14064 - Point 2.2)
Emissions factor Factor which relates data on activities to GHG emissions (ISO 14064 - Point 2.7).
CFK CenterCFK (Carbonfaserverstärkter Kunststoff = carbon-fiber reinforced plastic) Center
for production of body shells in carbon fiber.
Carbon dioxide equivalent
(CO2 equivalent)
Unit which allows the radiant power of a GHG to be compared with that of carbon
dioxide (ISO 14064 - Point 2.19).
ISO 14001ISO 14001 identifies an international standard which defines the requirements for
the environmental management system of any organization.
ISO 14064
UNI EN ISO 14064 identifies an international standard which specifies principles
and requirements – at the organizational level – for quantifying and reporting
emissions of greenhouse gases, and for removing them.
DNV GL Carbon Neutrality Protocol
Protocol which establishes the requirements to be met by organizations who wish
to publish a declaration in which they clearly set our their commitments with
regard to reducing and/or neutralizing the greenhouse gas emissions associated
with their activities.
EMAS
Eco-Management and Audit-Scheme.
Method based on EC Regulation 1221/2009 on organizations’ voluntary
participation in an EC-wide system of environmental management and audits.
Carbon Credits
Carbon Credits are used to offset CO2 emissions. Purchasing these credits
finances projects to offset CO2 emissions which can be performed outside of the
organization itself. One credit is equivalent to 1 tonne of CO2.
Green Certificates
A Green Certificate conventionally certifies the production of 1 MWh of renewable
energy fed into the grid by IAFR (impianto alimentato da fonti rinnovabili, systems
powered by renewable resources)-qualified systems.
LEED
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
Building certification system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council which
assesses the sustainability of buildings.
