Frasle Mobility's New Positioning and Randoncorp Investments

Materials GRI 301-1 301-2 Waste GRI 3-3 306-1 > 306-2 > 306-4 > 306-5 Aligned with our commitment to the circular economy, we carry out continuous monitoring of indicators for the management of the materials used in manufacturing our products. In 2022, 21.8 thousand tons of renewable material were used in our operation. Our conversion rate, which represents the amount of raw material purchased that is converted into product, was 88%. You can access the full material consumption indicators in the Attachments on Page 120. V V V L The waste generated in our operation comes mainly from the cutting and stamping processes of parts that generate scrap metal, as well as the disposal of packaging of raw materials and other materials and inputs used in production. In line with the circular economy principles, our priority in the destination of waste is the reuse and recycling of the inputs used in the production process, especially in the intercompany model, as in the case of scrap metal generated in production processes, which returns as raw material for the furnaces in our foundries. The oil emulsion generated in machining processes, for example, is recovered through a decantation process, in which the chip is separated from the cutting oil, and both are returned to the production process. Another example is the powder paint recovery process in painting booths, in which the exhaust system of the booth itself recovers and reuses the raw material. We also value the correct disposal of our wooden packages and pallets, working on their recovery. In the case of plastic jerry cans, IBC barrels and used gallons, we return them to the original supplier or sell them for reuse. Another technique we use to reduce the environmental impact in the final destination of our waste is co-processing, used primarily for waste with greater heating power. The organic waste resulting from gardening pruning and sludge goes through a composting process and is later used as fertilizer. The suppliers responsible for waste management, including its disposal and transportation, are licensed and have the relevant documentation to perform the activity. We monitor the documents throughout the process, up to the issuance of the final waste disposal certificate by the supplier. In 2022, we generated a total of 96.2 tons of non- hazardous waste. Of this total, 55% was sent for recycling and 10% for recovery operations. The amount sent to industrial landfills was 24%. At the same time, we generated 8.9 tons of hazardous waste, 95% of which was recovered through the adoption of advanced treatment and reuse techniques, such as recycling, reprocessing and co-processing. All the data regarding waste generation is monitored by the Environment Department through systems such as SAP and Waste Transport Manifest.
