LETTER TO THE STAKEHOLDERS
The world is being hit by a terrible pandemic that is calling us to rethink our lifestyles and habits as individuals and our business models as a company. We are keenly aware that we will not be able to go back to the normality we knew before the Coronavirus, but that we are facing a great opportunity that requires us to find a new normality. We can no longer think of ourselves as human beings above nature. We have been reminded that we are part of it and that we need to adapt to its laws to live in harmony. The virus has also made the global effects of the actions of humankind on the Earth palpable. Everything is interconnected and anything that, until yesterday, may have appeared to be limited to a local sphere has, instead, more and more often worldwide repercussions.
In 2019, the awareness of the importance of the connection that ties economic, social and environmental issues shifted from the individual to the collective level, as demonstrated by youth movements and the adoption of new European regulations and development plans, such as the Green Deal. For us, it is a confirmation that our strategic decisions were on the right track over recent years when we chose to focus more boldly on development models capable of creating shared value while respecting our planet, such as circular economy and industrial symbiosis.
We created a new Sustainability Programme Implementation Committee in 2019 to implement the strategy better and we are reviewing our internal improvement targets also in compliance with the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Again in 2019, we endorsed the CEOs Call to Action launched by CSR Europe to engage companies across the continent to team up and create value for society and promote a sustainable economy.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT LUCART 2019
The results achieved thus far are promising. Strong of our continuous investments in new technologies, we have slashed CO
2 emissions
by 6.8% and NOx emissions by 16.9% since 2014. We have decreased waste per tonne of
paper produced by 13.8% (compared to 2014), improved water consumption per tonne of paper
by 13.3% (compared to 2013) and bettered
specifi c energy consumption by 8.1% (compared to 2014). In the energy fi eld, we fi red up an
innovative new cogeneration turbine for producing energy and heat at the Diecimo plant in 2019. The cogeneration plant is expected to improve our environmental performance even further.
Capitalising on the work of our Research & Development Centre, instead, we launched on the market new fl exible packaging made of recycled
and recyclable paper in our Porcari plant in 2019. This is a further demonstration of our blanket commitment to reduce the environmental impact of our products without neglecting any aspect and keeping the strategies of the Group abreast with current market trends.
In 2020 we will be launching new Sustainable Packaging Guidelines in compliance with the indications of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, of which Lucart has been a member since 2018. This time, the aim is to reduce the use of non-renewable packaging materials and achieve a
100% recyclable or compostable packaging goal.
The good economic results achieved in 2019 and the fi rst months of 2020, despite the uncertainties due to the effect of Coronavirus on world markets, we can look to the future with optimism, also considering the appreciation of customers and end users for Lucart's paper products for hygienic purposes and our innovative, sustainable approach. This appreciation was backed by
two very important awards received in 2019, specifi cally the European Cleaning and Hygiene
Award for the Municipal Material Cycle® project recognised as “the best European initiative to raise the profi le of the professional cleaning sector“, and the Coop for Future award, organised by Coop Italia, for our commitment to the environment.
Building on these results, we plan on advancing our path of improvement based on the commitment, expertise and passion of the Lucart people also in 2020. Qualities like these meant that, even during the hard lockdown in Europe, we have been able to continue working safely, supplying hospitals and citizens with disposable hygiene products and making our contribution to fighting the virus. My personal thanks go out to all Lucart workers for their exemplary behaviour during these difficult times. Finally, a special thought goes out to the family of our dear colleague Javier, who died of COVID-19 recently in Madrid.

> LUCART GROUP, THE HISTORY
Innovation has been the distinctive feature of the Group since its origins and, as a result, today we can offer cutting-edge products by developing innovative solutions for a better future, and address new market challenges.
1953THE PASQUINI BROTHERS' CARTIERA LUCCHESE
The Pasquini family has been officially making paper since 1953, when brothers Alessandro, Eliseo, Fernando, Raffaello and Tarcisio founded the “Cartiera Lucchese dei F.lli Pasquini” in a small village on the hills around Lucca called Villa Basilica, though they had already been making paper since the 1930s. The story of the Pasquini family and Lucart is interwoven with that of the local area; as in Villa Basilica, between 1830 and 1840, the pharmacist Stefano Franchi invented a technique to make paper from straw, a material found locally and available in large amounts.
The production of straw paper and packaging paper, which started in the first factory of the Pasquini brothers in Botticino and then continued
in the small paper mill in the area of Biecina di Villa Basilica, was then fine-tuned at the Lucca plant, located in the town centre, where the force of water that moved the millstones exemplified the fascinating production process of the time.
Nowadays, we would call this circular economy, because agricultural waste was used as a raw material for the manufacturing industry. This is precisely why, even if today we no longer use straw but employ pure cellulose or scrap paper, a very strong district developed in the province of Lucca, operating both in the production of paper for packaging and paper for hygienic and sanitary use.

1976THE SECOND PM2 PAPER MACHINE
In 1976, the growing worldwide demand for flexible packaging paper convinced the family to invest again in the Porcari site with the installation of a second paper machine (PM2). The line would remain operational until 2018.
>
1987TISSUE PAPER PRODUCTION WAS KICKED OFF
The time had come to diversify production by looking at the promising sector of paper for hygienic uses and the fourth paper machine (PM4) was launched in Porcari in 1987. The group thus entered the tissue paper market.
>
1966THE FIRST PM1 PAPER MACHINE
The need for growth and investment led the Pasquini brothers to move production from the city to the plain of Lucca, where the Porcari plant was built, and is still today the Group's registered office, in 1966. The new plant allowed the installation of the first paper machine (PM1) that marked the first major technological leap of the Company. The plant, dedicated to the production of jumbo reels for flexible packaging allowed the company to increase productivity tenfold and expand the offer with high grammage papers.
>
1983THE THIRD PM3 PAPER MACHINE
The third paper machine (PM3) for the production of tissue paper was started in Porcari in 1983. It is still up and running very successfully today garnering a high level of interest in Italy and abroad. With the installation of this machine, Cartiera Lucchese became the European leader in the production of MG papers and flexible packaging papers.

1993CARTIERA LUCCHESE FRANCE
Cartiera Lucchese France was founded in 1993.It was a commercial company that, in additionto managing the acquired customers, was tasked to prepare the ground for the production of paper beyond the Alps.
>
1990-1991INSTALLATION OF TWO NEW PAPER MACHINES
The tissue paper market was developing rapidly and the company started up two more paper machines at its new site in Diecimo almost at the same time. The PM5 and the PM6 machines were powered by a new methane gas cogeneration turbine, carrying over the technology already successfully tested at the Porcari plant.
>
1996DEINKING PLANT AND PM7 IN DIECIMO
In 1996, the Group decided to differentiate its tissue paper offering from the competition and, taking advantage of the technology and knowledgeacquired through the processing of fl exible packaging papers from selected waste paper, and set up an arrayof systems designed specifi cally for deinking waste paper, producing high-quality recycled tissue paperand purifying process waste water.The new PM7 paper machine was capableof producing 60,000 tons of recycled andregenerated paper a year.
>
1988-1989THE DIECIMO PLANT AND THE LUCART BRAND ARE ESTABLISHED
1988 was a key year for the development of the company. After purchasing a plot of land of more than 240,000 m², the Group could think big and design a completely integrated site dedicated to the tissue paper market, from the production of paper to the conversion into a fi nished product for both the Consumer and the Away from Home markets, with modern paper technology. The Lucart brand was established.

1997ECOLUCART WAS ESTABLISHED
The new plants allowed the Group to launch EcoLucart on the Italian market. This absolutelyinnovative and ecological product line used recycled and regenerated paper as a raw material and Mater-Bi (a biodegradable corn starch material) as a packaging. Lucart was the fi rst company in the world to replace plastic packaging with a completely biodegradable renewable material developed by Novamont.
>
2007LUCART ENTERS THE HO.RE.CA. MARKET
To complete the offer on the market, in 2007the Group acquired Fato, the landmark brand for the Italian Ho.Re.Ca. market, and the two production plants in the province of Trevisoand Venice. The Torre di Mosto plant concentrates the production of decorated, coloured and customised tablecloths and napkins made of tissue, airlaid and MG paper.

1.8
Lucart’s sustainability strategy fi ts perfectly in the action framework set out in the SDGs. Following a process conducted in-house to identify the our contribution towards attaining the 17 goals, we selected the following priority objectives.
>GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
The actions that Lucart implements daily to manufacture products that are safe for people and the environment places great emphasis on the health and well-being of the company’s workers, citizens and customers.
Lucart believes that personnel training, the choice of equipment and systems and organisation are the foundations for guaranteeing occupational health and safety.
The production of paper requires a lot of energy. That is why Lucart has been investing in cutting-edge technologies to generate the electricity, heat and steam needed for the production process since the 1980s. Methane cogeneration turbine technology is the one that best fi ts the sector and can guarantee the highest levels of effi ciency, production consistency and emission reduction.
We also use solar power systems wherever this is feasible and coherent with the energy needs of the production facility.
>AFFORDABLEAND CLEAN ENERGY
> CLEAN WATERAND SANITATION
Water is precious and its availability is limited. The paper manufacturing process requires large quantities of water. This is why Lucart is aware that the use of this resource for industrial purposes must be responsible, guarantee minimal consumption and secure the quality and cleanliness of water at the end of the production process.
Lucart performs constant controlson process water and wastewater andinvests in the best technologiesto reduce consumption.
>QUALITY EDUCATION
Lucart takes the culture of sustainability to schools and encourages internship programmes in its facilities. The company supports universities and scientifi c research with collaborations aimed at studying solutions for reusing waste, measuring the product life cycles and designing new circular business models.

On 25 September 2015, the General Assembly of the United Nations approved the Sustainable Development Agenda, which contains 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) valid for the period 2016 - 2030. The SDGs represent the most concrete path for the construction of a more inclusive, fairer world that respects the environment.
1 Studio effettuato con metodologia EPD® considerando l’intero ciclo di vita di due carte igieniche Lucart, una in pura cellulosa e una in carta riciclata: http://www.environdec.com/en/Detail/epd1491
> RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION
Through research and the constant innovation of processes, products and business models, Lucart has always strived to be ahead of its time and offer technologies and paper able to improve the lives of workers and consumers, with respect for the environment.
It is no chance that Lucart was the fi rst company in Italy to launch a line of hygiene products made from recycled paper and with biodegradable packaging made from Mater-Bi.
> CLIMATE ACTION
Climate change is probably the most serious threat we must currently face. Lucart has put in place plans to reduce the CO2 emissionsper tonne of paper produced.
The choice to prioritise the production of recycled paper has distinct advantages for the environment by reducing the CO2 emissions by approximately 16% per quantity of paper produced.1
> PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS
Lucart is fully committed to applying circular business models. Therefore, we favour long-term partnerships with the organisations, agencies and institutions that share our values and goals.
As seen with the Natural Project, the circular economy can only function through shared projects and actions coordinated by individual citizens, institutions, and companies.
>LIFE ON LAND
The Earth ecosystem must be protected and we must safeguard the fi nite resources that we use. This is why we thoroughly assess the sustainability of the raw materials we use, be they virgin cellulose or paper for recycling. All the cellulose we use originates from forests with a custody chain certifi ed by certifi cation schemes, such as FSC® and PEFC™. The use of paper for recycling for the production of tissue paper reduces the use of cellulose extracted from wood and contributes towards safeguarding biodiversity.

the EPD® method and taking into

cellulose and the account other

STAKEHOLDER MAPPING AND MATERIALITY ANALYSISLucart has mapped and evaluated the key issues for the stakeholders and the Company through a Materiality Analysis with the methodological support of Deloitte.
The method considered the principles of several infl uential standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI STANDARDS) Guidelines.
In particular, for this Sustainability Report, Lucart wanted to place the accent on the commitment to follow Stakeholder Engagement best practices.
By involving top management and by distributing a specifi c questionnaire, we:
>identifi ed the categories of stakeholders relevant to the company;
> assigned priorities to the stakeholders based on their relevance to the company in terms of dependence, responsibility, infl uence, tension and prospective diversity;
> identifi ed the potentially relevant issues for the stakeholders and the company;
> evaluated the priorities that the stakeholders and the company assign to the various issues.
A stakeholder mapping was then defi ned based on the results, useful to defi ne the most relevant stakeholders for the Group and those strategically important for defi ning the Materiality Matrix.

Through the active involvement of the company’s top management, important topics were identifi ed for each stakeholder and for the company to implement correct policies in terms of transparency and cooperation.
Finally, during the period covered by this report, Lucart wanted to actively involve stakeholders by inviting them to answer a questionnaire aimed at defi ning the relevance of the proposed issues and assessing the Group's perception of performance about the concerned matters.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT LUCART 2019
> MATERIALITY ANALYSIS
The material issues defined beforehand were categorised based on the main areas of Corporate Responsibility, i.e. Governance Responsibility, re-sponsibility towards employees, responsibility towards the envi-ronment and the community of reference, and then submitted to the Lucart Group's stakeholders for evaluation through a specifi-cally designed questionnaire.
The involved stakeholders in the sample were asked to express their opinion on two matters. With the first aimed at assessing the level of relevance of the issue to the various stakehol-ders, while with the second focused on the perception that stakeholders have of the Group's performance in integrating these issues into corporate policies and strategies.
The questionnaires allowed the Group to identify the non-mone-tary priorities to which stakehol-ders are most sensitive, and to which they refer the Group's commitment to consider them as part of its business strategy and business continuity. Using the second vote, the Group wanted to involve stakeholders more in-depth, recognising their high strategic importance in the process.
The Matrix published in this Su-stainability Report shows a spot that compares the relevance of the issue for the Group and its stakeholders with their percep-tion of the performance of the Group concerning these signifi-cant aspects. More in detail, an issue may have a high level of relevance but the perception that stakeholders have of Lucart's
performance may not be ali-gned with these values, putting the Company in a position to question the reason leading to the distortion and considering whether to take action to reduce the gap.
Issues of high relevance may arise which are not equally high on the scale of perception of the Group. Conversely, other issues may present a strong perception of the Group's performance but a low materiality relevance for stakeholders. Accordingly, the Group may infer considerable strategic information and may indirectly assess whether any distortions of relevance and perception of performance by stakeholders can be attributed to a lack of communication, or a lack of strategic considera-tion of the Group concerning
The Materiality Analysis process structured by Lucart was primarily based on the selection of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) issues most relevant to the company and the context within which it operates.

the issue in question or other reasons internal or external to the company.
The Materiality Matrix shows the non-financial strategic priorities on which the Group is called upon to define a medium/long-term management and moni-toring strategy. The issues that are most relevant for both the
company and its stakeholders fall within the "Significance" quadrant (defined within the range of judgement values ranging from 3 - Fairly Relevant to 5 - Strongly Relevant).
The main findings of the Mate-riality Matrix show that there are no significant deviations from the positioning of these issues
compared to the previous report. Issues relating to "Customer and end-consumer satisfaction" and to "Business integrity and sustainability" confirm their primary position for the Group and its stakeholders.

RISK MANAGEMENT
1.12
MARKET RISKAs for all the companies operating in our sector, some cost factors can only be partially monitored because they are infl uenced by international macroeconomic trends.
INTEREST RATES
Some companies of the Group opted, once again in 2019, for deri-vative fi nancial instruments to reduce the risk of fl uctuationfor interest rates on existing medium-long term loans.
EXCHANGE RATES
There is a policy that covers the Euro/Dollar exchange rate, mainly through options or closed-end purchase contracts of USD to cover the exchange rate at budget value. The aim is to protect the budget margin from exchange variations.
Specifi c coverage has been put in place too, as required, to protect against any accounting exchange losses between the invoice date and the payment date.
PURCHASE PRICES
The main raw materials we use are virgin cellulose and paper for recycling, whose market price is determined by global demand and offer trends. Our procurement policy involves an accurate selection and differentiation of suppliers and the constant search for alternative sources and raw materials.It is based on well-established supply relationships with top suppliers. Furthermore, even if with differing responsiveness and timing between our business areas, there is a correlation between the purchase price of fi brous raw materials and the selling price of products.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SET OF RULES AND THE REGULATION OF TARGET BUSINESS SECTORSGroup companies, with their dedicated departments, analyse risks associated with obligations related to standards and regulations.
Moreover, Lucart S.p.A. has adopted an organisation, management and control model to prevent predicate offences covered in (It.) Legislative Decree 231/2001 with the creation of a supervisory body appointed for this purpose.
LIQUIDITY RISKEvery month, the companies of the Group monitor future liquidity needs, regularly updating the treasury forecasts for three sliding months and the plan of fi nancial flows for the year.
The lines of credit currently available, distributed across several banks, are suitedto needs, also in light ofthe capital structureof the company andbalancing of sources.
CREDIT RISKThe companies of Group insure most of their customer credits and are therefore exposedto a limited credit risk.
However, the diffi cult global economic and fi nancial situa-tion led to a drop in a number of approved requests for credit and therefore customer solvency is carefully evaluated also by our credit management operators, who in some cases can grant an additional line of credit concerning the one guaranteed by the insurance company.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT LUCART 2019
ACTIVITIES TO FIGHT THE CORONAVIRUSThe World Health Organisation declared that the virus called
SARS-CoV-2 was causing a worldwide pandemic on 11 March
2020. The spread of the virus in Italy and, later on, in the rest
of Europe, forced the governments of the countries involved
to implement severe social distancing measures and to
impose major restrictions on the movement of people shutting
down all unnecessary commercial and productive activities.
Paper production and converting activities were considered
essential in all the countries where Lucart has its production
facilities and, therefore, measures were immediately put into
place to contrast the spread of the virus, ensuring the health
and safety of workers and business continuity.
First of all, Lucart created a Crisis Committee to defi ne,
coordinate and supervise all actions against the spread of the
virus in all the production facilities of the Group.
The measures included the massive use of smart-working,
putting all meetings, visits from suppliers and work trips on
hold in favour of video-conferences, organising entrances and
exits from the workplace and breaks to reduce the possibility
of contact, constantly inviting all employees to keep at least 1
metre apart, providing personal protective equipment, such as
gloves and face masks, inviting everyone to observe hygienic
rules, measuring body temperature, planning periodic
operations to sanitise the workplace
and updating the risk assessment
document.
All these activities were
planned in agreement
with the trade unions
and authorities in
charge.
EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY - ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT AND PRODUCT SAFETYSYSTEMRISK
The organisation has defi ned the scope of application of the management system inside which to apply the risk management processes for identifi cation and evaluation of risks and opportunities related to the company’s activity andits strategic goals. Based on the result of the evaluation, Management evaluates the need to implement possible measures to monitor and/or mitigate the specifi c risk.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DISPUTES AND POTENTIAL LIABILITIES Through the in-house legal department of the parent company, though also with the support of external professionals for specifi c issues, the company assesses all potential risks associated with disputes and defi nes, on a case-by-case basis, the needs for any allocations to be made in the risk fund.
PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACYLucart has always placed a special focus on change and innovation and has defi ned an organisational model for the protection of personal data, identifying roles and responsibilities both inside and outside the governance functions that process data. Procedures for managing the GDPR requirements following the Regulation were also defi ned.

CIRCULARITY AND SUSTAINABILITY AS STRATEGIC BUSINESS LEVERS
In 2010, the Lucart R&D department for the use of fi bres alternative to virgin cellulose launched an ambitious project aimed at recovering all the materials contained in Tetra Pak® beverage cartons. This type of packaging is widely used in the food industry to protect and preserve food and for its high natural cellulose fi bre content that makes it more ecological compared to other packaging materials of fossil origin.
Due to its mixed composition of cellulose fi bres (74%), aluminium (4%) and polyethylene (22%), this material is often not recovered at end-of-life or is recovered only partially ending up dispersed in other materials or sent to a landfi ll with a high environmental impact.
> THE NATURAL PROJECT
> the research for alternative raw materials to reduce the over-exploitation of natural resources;
> the analysis, design and implementation of circular business models;
>the reduction of process waste;
> the reuse of process waste to recover material.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT LUCART 2019
>THE NEW RECLAIMED RAW MATERIALS
In the fi rst stage of the project, Lucart hit the objective of creating two new raw materials to separate recovery processes by changing and streamlining the traditional recovery process of paper for recycling in the paper mill.
THE PAPER + DISPENSER SYSTEM
The second phase of development of the Natural Project saw the combination of the two new, previously obtained raw materials in one single product that offers value to our customers with Fiberpack® paper + Al.Pe.® dispenser.
The Al.Pe.® brand, which identifi es the homogeneous material made of the polyethylene and aluminium component in beverage cartons that other industries use to manufacture products for multiple purposes, spanning from construction and street furniture to everyday objects, such as pens and rulers, mooring poles and fl oating platforms in Venice, pallets for transporting freight and handtowel and toilet paper dispensers for the Away from Home sector.
The Fiberpack® brand identifi es the fi brous raw material obtained through our exclusive treatment process of beverage cartons, used to produce Lucart Professional EcoNatural, Fato Natural, Velo Natural, Tenderly Professional Natural and Grazie Natural branded products.
Lucart has always been at the forefront of the study of innovative packaging able to reduce the environmental impact of its
products.
After launching the world's fi rst line of toilet paper with Mater-Bi corn starch packaging in 1997, the company created series of products with entirely plastic-free packaging in 2019.
The products of the Natural lines are completely ecological because, in addition to being derived from used beverage cartons, they have recycled andrecyclable paper packaging producedin the Porcari plant.

THE MMC® CIRCULAR BUSINESS MODEL
Lucart promotes relationships with numerous private and institutional stakeholders, useful for the growth and sustainable development of the Natural Project in Europe.
For this purpose, the MMC®
(Municipal Material Cycle) model was created, which was fi rst put to the test in the city of Novo Mesto in Slovenia. The model involved the construction of a circular fl ow starting from used beverage cartons, collected by the students' families according to local waste collection rules. Later, with the cooperation of
the local waste management company and the consortia that manage, separate and sort the material at their platforms, Lucart received and collected used beverage cartons and recycles them through an exclusive production process. The Fiberpack® Natural line products (handtowels, toilet paper, napkins, etc.) are then sold, together with
their dispensers, to a local distribution partner that delivers them to the toilets of public offi ces, schools, public companies and sports and leisure centres in the area where the recycled beverage cartons were collected. The entire cycle is carried out under the patronage of the competent municipal administration.

CODE OF ETHICSLucart’s core values become rules of conduct by implementing and complying with the Code of Ethics. A guide on principles, regulations and rules for directors, statutory auditors, inspection bodies, executives, employees, associates and everyone who has any kind of relationship with the companies of the Group.
In keeping with the best international practices, the latest revision of the Code of Ethics defi nes the fundamental principles and core values of corporate ethics, the rules of conduct and relevant implementation regulations and was approved in October 2019.
The Code is given to all company employees and associates for them to understand its content and implement its values. The Code of Ethics is binding for the conduct of all Group associates (directors, statutory auditors,
employees and those who act on Lucart’s behalf under specifi c powers of attorney or proxies). It is also brought to the attention of the people who engage in business relations with the company (customers, suppliers, consultants, etc.), in any capacity and regardless of the type, starting from the negotiation stage.
The Code of Ethics is an integral part of the “Organisational, Management and Control Model” introduced to prevent company liability under
Legislative Decree 231/2001. Ethics in entrepreneurial activity is a key element for a company’s success and credibility. It is the factor that identifi es and strengthens the company’s values, to turn them into the foundations and drive for competitive socio-economic development over time.
The principles that have always driven and guided our way of doing business lie at the basisof the Code of Ethics: fairness,good faith, transparency,fi delity and loyalty.

ORGANISATIONALMODEL
2.3
The Organisational Model was approved in its fi rst draft on 26 June 2012 and some parts were later amended to follow the company’s evolution. It was revised and updated on28 March 2018.
The model is aimed at preventing the possibility of committing offences according to the decree and, consequently, at reducing the company’s administrative liability.
The implemented model, based on an accurate analysis of company activities to identify those potentially at risk, is a set of general principles, rules of conduct, control instruments and organisational procedures, training and informational activities and disciplinary system aimed at assuring, as far as possible, crime prevention.
The Board of Directors has appointed a Supervisory Body, which is responsible for overseeing the proper implementation of the model and ensuring it is properly updated.
The Chairman of the Supervisory Board and the other members are chosen for their particular expertise in the fi eld of law, administrative responsibility of the entities and environmental and safety matters.
The Supervisory Body has its own budget to independently manage its activities; it periodically reports to the Board of Directors of Lucart S.p.A. and regularly exchanges information with the Boardof Statutory Auditors.
The Code of Ethics is an integral part of the “Organisational, Management and Control Model” introduced to prevent company liability according to Legislative Decree 231/2001.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH STAKEHOLDERS
2.5
Lucart is committed to satisfying its customers according to the requirements laid down by law, contracts and predetermined quality standards.
The main objectives are customer satisfaction and protection, receptiveness to specific requests, product quality improvement and the offer of new business prospects.
All this within a logic of partnership geared towards innovative solutions which create value, are stable over time and user-friendly.
Supplier selection and the establishment of terms of purchase are based on an evaluation of quality, price of goods and services requested, ability to promptly supply and guarantee goods and services according to the specific needs of the company.
Lucart implements supplier selection criteria based on compliance with the regulations in force, with internal rules and with the code of ethics. In no case shall a supplier be preferred over another as a result of personal relationships, favouritism or advantages, other than those of exclusive interest and benefit of Lucart.
Virgin cellulose is purchased outside the European Community, in particular only after a careful evaluation pursuant to the EU Timber Regulation (No. 995/2010 as amended and integrated).
Almost all the cellulose used derives from certified chains of custody and the adopted certifications (FSC®, PEFC™ and SFI®), as well as complying with proper environmental management, also guarantee compliance with the rights of workers and local communities.
Purchases are mostly concentrated in Italy, France and Spain, which are the countries that currently host the production facilities of the Group.
In the following table, we have considered all purchases made within the home country of the company as local purchases and we also considered the purchases of raw materials, auxiliary materials, consumables, services and goods.
Lucart Kft. is a converting-only facility and consequently imports reels of paper to be converted from the other branches of the Group. It also serves as a distribution hub for Eastern Europe for finished AFH products, some of which are produced in other facilities of the Group. Some finished products will be gradually moved to the Nyergesújfalu site in the near future.
The regulatory system of the Code of Ethics, with its principles of legality, loyalty, transparency, impartiality and independence, is implemented in all relationships with stakeholders: employees, customers, suppliers, associations, authorities, shareholders and citizens.

>Lucart is an equal-opportunity employer. Recruitment is based on professional qualifi cations, abilties, merit, skills and experience, with no discrimination for religion,gender, race, political beliefsor trade-union affi liation.
Lucart considers any reports which turn out to be clearly unfounded and specious and which have the purpose of causing harm, disadvantage or detriment to colleagues and/or associates as tantamount to a breach of discipline.
PERSONNEL AND INTERNAL RELATIONSHIPS
At its core, Lucart Groupis geared towards people.
This is why Lucart safeguards and promotes their value, growth and success to improve and increase assets and competitiveness.
>OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY TRAINING
Lucart provides and guarantees its employees suitable training on occupational safety.
The required training is planned when a new employee joins the company by homogeneous category group (identifi ed in the risk assessment document).
The “Mandatory worker training course” precedes any operational activity and represents the fi rst training course in the company.
This type of training can last 8 or 16 hours, depending on the homogeneous category group.
The operatives in charge of the Facility Protection and Prevention Department inform the Human Resources Department of the activities that the new employee will carry out.
The company has identifi ed Safety Roles which are associated with a specifi c
training course that the Human Resources Department will activate for the specifi c employee. Therefore, employees receive both basic mandatory training and refresher courses according to current law.
This training course is not only attended when new employees join, but also if there is a change in tasks and/or Safety Role.

> TRAINING AND HORIZONTAL TECHNICAL SKILLS
All training courses which are not part of the occupational safety programme are planned following needs analysis.
The Human Resources Department, in collaboration with the individual Business Departments, defi nes the requests for training requirements for the Group’s employees during the annual planning.
The economic aspect of the requests made is quantifi ed and the budget estimate is verifi ed. Based on the training
priority criteria and fair resource allocation, the Human Resources Department plans the training programmes to be implemented by choosing the appropriate professionals with whom they will defi ne specifi c content and manage the organisational aspects of the intervention.
Any additional requests that emerge after the initial collection of training requirements or due to changes in organisational, technological and regulatory perspectives are evaluated and discussed
accordingly by the Human Resources Department in conjunction with the department managers.
The training programme implemented for individual employees is not standardised for the type of business role but it is structured on a case-by-case basis, according to knowledge and skills to bridge any gap between what is expected and required by the role in terms of technical knowledge and horizontal skills.
>LUCART ACADEMY
The Lucart Academy project was launched at the end of 2019. The in-house training programme aims at consolidating the knowledge of young Lucart engineers on technical and management issues and which is followed by several tutors identifi ed mainly in the Manufacturing, Engineering and R&D areas.
The staff involved will follow a process of training and coaching both in company departments and in the classroom, taking part in specifi c modules of the Paper Master Course and the new Master's Degree Course in Paper and Cardboard Technology and Manufacturing which is about to be kicked-off at the University of Pisa.

>SKILL MAPPING
We fi rmly believe that planning and formalising the process by which workers’ skills are assessed adds signifi cant value to our company. It is an act of transparency, clarity and loyalty that helps the organisation and its people to be fully aware of the values in which we believe and of the relationship styles that we intend to promote to improve the well-being of people and their performance.
In other words, Lucart views the Human Resource assessment as a process that guides people and helps them enhance their particular useful skills, improve their results and increase the value of the human capital.
Skill mapping is the process by which we assess the soft and technical skills of Lucart employees with the goal of identifying both potential areas of improvement and strengths to be enhanced. It is also used as a guide for people to the company’s strategic behaviours (Evaluation and Improvement).
Loyal to this vision, Lucart has structured the skills assessment
process, extending its scope and fi ne-tuning its tools, aware that this is a constantly changing process, both with regard to the underlying methodological assumptions and technological evolution, which will make it possible to simplify the administrative part of the process and will support users (those in charge of assessing and the assessed person) in reading, analysing and interpretingthe assessments made.
All employees, executives and managers of the Italian facilities were assessed in 2019.
The assessment plan was simplifi ed and made more objective with respect to previous editions, with the inclusion of nine soft and three technical skills. A description of the assessment that corresponds was clearly identifi ed for each score. The fi nal addition was that of the self-assessment tool. More in detail, each person is asked to evaluated their own soft and technical skills and this is then assessed by the person's manager.
The assessment (conducted by the person being assessed and the person in charge of assessing) is always followed by feedback, in which all managers are invited to share their thoughts with their collaborators, making this a moment of exchange on how employees assess themselves and are assessed by their managers. The explicit goal of this phase is to have a positive impact on the development and improvement of behaviours, performance and personal growth.

>INTERNSHIPS
Lucart is convinced that the quality of processes and products is closely linked to that of its people’s skills. This is why we plan and implement internal programmes of development and partnership with external training organisations to facilitate and consolidate the development of our employees’
skills and help young people build professional skills that they can use in our production plants and in the local economy.
In this sense, many collaborations have put in place with technical schools, in Italy, France, Hungary and Spain, to guide young people by promoting training courses on skills that may be used in the paper industry.
Furthermore, many of our collaborators bring their knowledge directly to the schools, holding lessons and organising seminars on the production and transformation of paper. The goal is to help students understand and recognise the practical application
of the theoretical concepts they learnt during their studies.
In addition to offering careers guidance in schools, Lucart collaborates in preparing technical syllabuses and inviting students to join internship programmes. The latter step is fundamental for consolidating the theoretical skills acquired at school and integrating them with direct experience in our company’s production plants and laboratories. These exchanges represent, among other things, a unique opportunity for the company to come into contact with many potential interested candidates who, in the future, will become our best-qualifi ed technicians.
>TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOLS (ITS)
In 2019 Lucart, together with Assocarta, Confi ndustria and other companies in the Lucca area, completed the design and start-up of the fi rst ITS - Paper school in Tuscany, in the scope of the Foundation that oversees the provision of courses autho-rised by Regional authorities. Specifi cally, the course aims to train highly qualifi ed people for
operating in production in the paper industry.
After having contributed to the design and organisation of the course, Lucart will continue its partnership in ITS training also with day-by-day activities, specifi c lectures by technical managers and training in the company to students through specifi c internships.
> PAPER MASTER COURSE AND MASTER'S DEGREE COURSE IN PAPER AND CARDBOARD TECHNOLOGY AND MANUFACTURING
Lucart has been a partner of the Celsius Paper Master Course in Lucca for many years and in 2019 contributed to the project with classroom lessons held by company employees and a scholarship dedicated to our colleague Francesco Sodini who
died in tragic circumstances in 2015. The Paper Master Course will be fl anked and partly replaced by the new Master's Degree Course in Paper and Cardboard Technology and Manufacturing at the University of Pisa in 2020.

RELATIONS WITH TRADE UNIONS
Lucart has always maintained a structured Industrial Relations system with the Unions, based on a continuous constructive comparison in accordance with the current national and international regulations. In addition to the local and provincial level, the Group’s Industrial Relations are present
within the EWC-European Works Council.
In the Italian companies of the Group, the National Collective Employment Agreement is applied to all employees. Furthermore, in every Italian facility there are second level agreements.
In the Group’s foreign affi liates, the employment relationship is governed by collective bargaining in France and Spain (for all employees) and by an individual one in other countries.

GRISDGs
The growing involvement of workers and constant efforts to increase their awareness on safety issues in the company have led to a reduction in injury frequency and severity indexes.
Consolidating positive relationships with plant and local trade unions has made it possible, by mutual agreement, to pursue increasingly ambitious targets regarding occupational safety (covered by BS OHSAS18001:2007 integrated certifi cation) and protecting workers’ health. The integrated BS OHSAS 18001:2007 certifi cation of the Group's Italian plants will migrate to ISO 45001:2018 during 2020.
Lucart is committed to eliminating work-related accidents and occupational illnesses, assuring a healthy and safe workplace for its employees and anybody working in its plants and offi ces. Structured and integrated systems have implemented to achieve this target, within which the Lucart
Safety Policy is laid out, implemented and monitored.
In particular, accidents are monitored in all the production facilities of the Group by recording the reference indicators, such as NUMBER of ACCIDENTS during the examined period, FREQUENCY INDEX1
and SEVERITY INDEX2.
Particular attention is devotedto recording and analysingnear-misses to design and implement the necessary corrective actions in accordance with the principle of prevention.
All the above-mentioned activities are carried out in close cooperation with the Supervisory Body according to Italian Legislative Decree 231/2011.
A Safety Committee
periodically meets with the participation of all key players, including the employer.
The committee reviews all results, comparing them with the objectives and defi nes the necessary strategic and operative actions. Each production facility is also equipped with clearly-defi ned analysis and control tools such as the Safety
Meetings, department and area Audits, Improvement
and Training Programmes.
Trade Union Representatives of the individual plants also take part in the Safety Meetings.

In recent years, all the Italian plants have been considerably successful in reducing work-related accidents and Lucart retained excellence in this area also in 2019. Two Lucart plants (Avigliano and Torre di Mosto) received the coveted "Obiettivo Zero" award promoted by Fondazione Lazzareschi, while other plants have distinguished themselves for high improvement rates compared to previous years.
AVIGLIANO: OVER 2500 ACCIDENT-FREE DAYS
A special mention certainly goes to the plant in Avigliano (ITALY), which as of 2020 reported more than 2500 days without injuries. The solutions adopted in the facility for effective accident prevention were implemented as benchmarks for all other facilities in the Group.

RELATIONS WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
CONTRIBUTIONS, DONATIONS, SPONSORSHIPS AND GIFTS
In relationships with the government agencies, Lucart pays special attention to maintaining full compliance with national and international regulations in force. Lucart also commits to fulfil all bureaucratic procedures related to every action, behaviour, agreement or negotiation/ assignment procedure, so that all Lucart conduct focuses on maximum transparency, fairness and legality.
During pending or requested business negotiations, or in commercial relations with the government agencies, the parties representing Lucart are required to behave in such a manner not to influence the counterpart’s decision unduly.
Activities related to negotiation management, taking on
commitments and establishing relationships of any kind with government agencies are restricted exclusively to appointed, duly authorised internal persons. Collusive behaviours and practices of any nature or kind, active or passive corruption are forbidden.
Considering or proposing job and/or commercial opportunities which may personally or indirectly favour employees of the government agencies or requesting or obtaining confidential information which may jeopardise the integrity or the reputation of both parties is not allowed. During the course of business relationships, compliance shall be maintained with what was agreed upon in the contract, avoiding
unauthorised replacements and putting in place adequate control and safeguard mechanisms, cooperating only with competent and suitable persons.
The same directives valid for company employees are applied to any consultants or a third-parties representing Lucart in dealings with the government agencies, as far as these subjects and their personnel are concerned.
In case of controls by the Supervisory Authority, Lucart guarantees the utmost cooperation and assistance, by aiding the authorities during the inspections and striving to respond to and carry out the requests submitted in a timely fashion.
Lucart may accept requests for contributions only from expressly non-profit entities or associations.
These contributions must be provided for activities of a high cultural and/or social level in line with the company’s philosophy. As far as donations are concerned, Lucart does not allow any kind of gift which may
be interpreted as exceeding normal commercial or courtesy practices, or in any case aimed at acquiring preferential treatments in the performance of any activity it is connected with.
Furthermore, any kind of gift to Italian and foreign civil servants, or to their families, which may influence independent judgement or persuade to
procure an advantage of any nature is forbidden.
For the sake of precision, this rule concerns promised or offered gifts as well as received gifts. Gift here means any kind of benefit (free entrance to conferences, promising a job offer, advantage or benefit of any kind, etc.).

Lucart conducted an EPD® analysis, based on an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) study, which defines the consumption of resources (materials, water, energy) and the impacts on the surrounding environment in the various phases of the product life cycle, on two toilet papers made by the company, comparable by grammage, number of plies, number and length of pieces, one of which made from pure virgin cellulose fibres and the other from fibres derived from paper for recycling in 2018.
To read the Declaration in full, please see: http://www.environdec.com/en/Detail/epd1491
During the process for obtaining the EPD® declaration and the LCA study that represents its scientific basis, Lucart S.p.A. sought the technical and methodological support of the
Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di
Pisa and its spin-off Ergo s.r.l.
The analysis was certified by a third-party body.
The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a voluntary certification scheme, developed in application of UNI EN ISO 14025:2010. It is a tool for communicating objective, comparable and credible information on the environmental performance of products and services. The performance, reported in the EPD, must be based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in accordance with the ISO 14040 standards, which is the methodological basis for the objectivity of the information provided. The main objective of an EPD is to provide relevant, verified and comparable information on the
environmental impact of a product or service.

Virgin cellulose45%
Paper for recycling55%
Lucart makes paper from both virgin cellulose and paper for recycling.
The Company pursues the line of sustainability of its paper by increasing the percentage of paper for recycling used compared to virgin cellulose, compatibly with market demands. In 2019 there was a further 2% increase in recycled paper compared to last year, accounting for 55% of the total production mix. This result consolidatesthe trend that for many years has seen the percentage of recycled paper used in the company
exceed 50% of the total mixof fi bres used.
The processes and technologies implemented in the plants make it possible to use a wide range of recycled materials including cellulose fi bres in beverage cartons (Natural Project).The success of the Natural line saves virgin fi bres by giving new life to the fi bres present in food beverage containers.
In the Porcari, Diecimo, Laval sur Vologne and Aranguren plants, paper is made from both virgin cellulose and paper for recycling. The plant in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana processes mainly virgin cellulose and small percentages of top-quality paper for recycling.
The Avigliano plant uses only virgin cellulose for the manufacture of airlaid paper.
The Torre di Mosto, Nyergesújfalu and Artziniega plants are dedicated exclusively to converting.

VIRGIN CELLULOSE
The virgin cellulose used in the company comes
from supply chains managed according to eco-sustainable criteria, i.e. produced by companies that adopt sustainable
forest management systems compling with internationally recognised certification schemes, thus ensuring the continuity of the forest ecosystem without altering its balance.
The choice of suppliers, carefully selected according to Lucart standards and the procedures set up by the company management systems, means that the company avails of producers who follow recognised sustainable forest management standards (PEFCTM, FSC®, SFI® etc.) in compliance with EU Timber Regulation (Reg. n. 995/2010 as amended and supplemented) and international regulations.
PAPER FOR RECYCLING
Paper recycling ensures better use of available resources and a lower overall environmental impact.
The paper for recycling undergoes state-of-the-art mixing and deinking processes without the use of polluting substances. The separation processes are
mainly mechanical and thermal
to make high-quality paper. The paper for recycling used in Lucart production facilities, meets the requirements of the standards recognised by the PEFCTM and FSC® certification systems, and UNI-EN 643 standards.

WATER RESOURCES
The paper production process requires large amounts of water.
Lucart plants use, for their own industrial production, water taken from wells located within the perimeter of the facility and, in some cases, also taken from surface water upon authorisation by the competent Authorities. The water fromthe municipal water supplyis mainly for civil use.
>WATER SUPPLY SOURCES

The desire to protect water resources, combined with the production needs of the paper manufacturing process, has led the company to invest in processes aimed at optimising consumption, encouraging the recovery of process water for reuse for industrial purposes. Furthermore, most of the facilities are equipped with
wastewater treatment plants that guarantee the quality of the water fed into the receptors in compliance with the authorised limits.
The total water consumption shown in the graph below varies according to production capacity, which has grown signifi cantly in recent years.

SPECIFIC WATER CONSUMPTION
Reusing water produces a lower environmental impact, namely:
>reduction of the extractionof aquifer water resources;
>reduction of the extraction of surface water resources;
>resource consistency and reliability as a result of purifi ed water produced on an ongoing basis;
>reduction in wasting natural resources.
> WATERRECYCLING
The reduction in specifi c water consumption in 2019, compared to 2018, confi rms that the measures implemented to optimise water consumption in the newly acquired foreign plants (Spain) are beginning to produce the expected results.
The specifi c water consumption, although overall is perfectly in line with those of the Best Available Technologies (BAT) in the sector, has different values between the various production sites according to the interventions carried out or planned on the production facilities. This for Lucart represents an important focus of intervention
on which important investments and improvement objectives for the coming years are already underway.
>LOWER CONSUMPTION
A system for the recovery of first rainwater for industrial use is active at the Avigliano plant as part of the activities for the protection of drinking water resources and water consumption optimisation.
The water is collected from the roofs and the first part of the rain in the yards. After an appropriate preliminary treatment, the water is reused for washing the sheets and for auxiliary production needs.

Lucart installed an innovative gas turbine cogeneration plant in the Diecimo facility, which is one of the most technologically advanced cogeneration plants, at the end of 2019.
The NovaLT12 gas turbine, developed and produced in Italy by Baker Hughes - Nuovo Pignone, can output a power of 12.5 Mw with a cogeneration (electrical+thermal) effi ciencyof 85%.
The effi ciency of the new turbine, whose effects will be appreciated from 2020 onwards, will allow the reduction of CO2
and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions at full capacity.
ENERGY RESOURCES
WE HAVE BEEN SELF-PRODUCING ENERGY AND HEAT SINCE 1989
Lucart was one of the fi rst paper manufacturing groups in Europe to focus on systems to self-generate electricity and heat through cogeneration plants powered by methane gas.
The plant produces the electricity needed by the production facility on-site. The heat from the turbine exhaust fumes, recovered in a boiler, generate the steam needed for the paper making
process and for dehydrating process sludge.
The cogeneration plant installed at Diecimo joins the cogeneration plants already present at the Porcari and
Castelnuovo di Garfagnana plants, confi rming the commitment of Lucart for electricity self-productionand energy effi ciency.

LOGISTICS
>SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY
The “Sustainable Mobility:
transferring transport of raw
materials from road to rail”, project to use the railway network to signifi cantly reduce road transport of raw materials and end products.
The project was presented in 2015 and continued in 2019. The project involves the Diecimo production facility, which has an internal railway station that we have been using for years, and the production facility in
Castelnuovo di Garfagnana.
Lucart is working with the Municipality of Castelnuovo, with the Tuscany regional authorities and with RFI to restore the Castelnuovo di Garfagnana railway station. An agreement allowing works to start was signed in April 2019.
The number of freight cars for the transporting fi nished and semi-fi nished products last year suffered from the deteriorated quality of service offered,
motivating the company to use conventional means of transport to guarantee delivery deadlines agreed with the customers. The use of trains allowed us to avoid emitting 544 tCO
2e* into the
atmosphere.
The calculation included the freight cars used for delivering the fi nished product from an external platform.

EMISSIONS INTOTHE ATMOSPHEREThe atmospheric emissions of a paper production facility are necessary for process continuity but, an effi cient use of energy, a rational use of raw materials and the presence of technologically advanced abatement plants that comply with Best Available Technologies (BAT) make it possible to achieve results from the point of view of environmental protection.
The main sources of atmospheric emissions are cogeneration plants, paper drying plants, sludge drying plants and suction points in production areas to protect the health and safety of workers.
All atmospheric emission plants are managed in compliance with the Integrated Environmental Authorisations (IEAs) issued by the competent authorities and, where applicable, constantly monitored through suitable Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS).
Combustion plants use methane gas, which is the fossil fuel with the lowest environmental impact both in terms of energy effi ciency and because it avoids the release of secondary pollutant compounds, such as SO2 e H2S.
The following graph shows direct and indirect CO2 emissions. Direct emissions (purpose 1) originated exclusively from the combustion of fuels (mainly natural gas and a minimum of diesel) for industrial uses and were calculated in accordance with the Emission Trading Directive, using standard or specifi c national coeffi cients according to the category of the plant and the required levels.
Indirect emissions (purpose 2) are CO2 emissions deriving from the purchase of electricity from the national grid. For the calculation, we used the emission coeffi cients updated in 2017* for the Italian

2019 was the year of the restyling of the logo and all product lines for Fato. The project involved a new coordinated, professional packaging to make the brand the protagonist on every product and, above all, was actualised the ecological certifi cation of the range.

> TECHNICAL SPONSOR
Tutto Pannocarta was also the technical sponsor of the events organised by the Slow Food world during 2019, in particular Slow Fish
held in Genoa from May 9 to 12 and Cheese, an event organised in Bra from September 20 to 23.
> TUTTO PANNOCARTA ON TV
Confi rmed also the presence on TV throughout the year, through product placement of high media impact in collaboration with Cucine da Incubo (Nove), Cake Star (Real Time) and Pizza
Hero (Nove).
Extensive use of the product in all these TV shows signifi cantly highlighted the unique features of a product made with airlaid technology, which uses long and
very resistant cellulose fi bres that never come into contact with water during the production process, thus remaining super absorbent. These fi bres form a natural “dam” structure, offering outstanding results. The paper absorbs 50% more compared to other household paper and, thanks to its remarkable strength, can be reused many times.
> PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF GASTRONOMIC SCIENCES OF POLLENZO
The role of technical sponsor of the University of Gastronomic
Sciences of Pollenzo was confirmed in 2019, thus contributing to an even stronger partnership, in which a group of university students were involved in product
communication initiatives as players and ambassadors, and the university itself served as a special set for the fi lming of numerous brand advertising campaigns.
