1.2 Describe your business activities

Geaplast s.r.l. is an SME based in Trapani, Sicily, operating for more than 25 years in the production and processing of plastic materials for agriculture, industry, and construction. Geaplast s.r.l., which covers an area of approximately 15,000 square meters, has evolved and specialized over time thanks to continuous technological research and cutting-edge know-how. The dynamic management of market processes and a constant focus on the future make the Sicilian company an authentic point of reference in this sector. This philosophy of business dialogue has, in fact, allowed Geaplast to successfully approach new markets in Italy and abroad, thus rapidly increasing production volume and, at the same time, the product range, recognized positively for their extraordinary quality and effectiveness. The company\\\\\\\'s main customers are farmers, for whom the company carries out B2B activities. Suppliers of virgin plastic materials are located in the eastern part of Sicily and abroad. The main products sold are polyethylene plastic films, direct, diffused, and refracted light thermal films, inter-layer films, mulching films, vineyard covering films, and silage films. Geaplast is an energy-intensive company that does not use water in its production processes.

3.7 Describe your plans and actions taken to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions.

The strategy focuses on reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions through the following actions. Reduction of Scope 1 emissions: a 25% reduction in emissions every 5 years in the period 2025-2045, through the replacement of diesel vehicles with electric vehicles. This is an effective choice, but it requires careful planning for the installation of charging infrastructure and fleet management. Reduction of Scope 2 emissions: elimination of indirect emissions related to the purchase of electricity in the next two years, thanks to a change of supplier to purchase 100% certified renewable energy. This is an immediate and effective solution to reduce the carbon footprint.

3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.

Geaplast S.r.l. in 2024 calculated its direct emissions (Scope 1), related to sources directly present in the company, such as diesel fuel used for machinery and that used in the organization\\\\\\\'s vehicles, and indirect emissions (Scope 2) resulting from the procurement of imported electricity. Emissions from the value chain, those attributable, albeit indirectly, to the organization (Scope 3), were not calculated. The emissions calculation study was carried out according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) methodology, thanks to the use of the Equipoise tool in partnership with SME Climate Hub

Scope 3 emissions

4.1 Have you measured any of your scope 3 emissions?

Supply chain related - upstream emissions

Customer related - downstream emissions

4.2 Have you asked any of your suppliers to set a net zero target (either voluntarily or as a requirement)?

4.3 Have you communicated your commitment and actions to any of your customers?

5.1 Do you classify any of your existing goods and/or services as a climate solution?

6.1 What governance processes do you have in place for your climate strategy? Choose as many as are applicable.

Person is responsible for climate strategy at board level

6.1.1 Please describe their position and responsibility.

The climate strategy is discussed and approved by the sole director. The company has a Sustainability Manager who presents the climate change adaptation and mitigation activities that must be approved by the sole director

6.2 Have you started to identify and assess your companies climate risks and opportunities?

Yes - we have identified climate risks

6.2.1 Where are the climate risks you've identified?

Own operations

6.2.2 How are you managing these climate risks? Choose as many as are applicable.

We\'ve mapped the impact of our climate risks over time (short, medium and long term horizons),We\'ve Identified plans for adaptation to mitigate these risks

6.2.3 Provide any additional comments or context on your climate risks:

PHYSICAL RISKS RELATED TO CLIMATE - Risk Level: High Increased Temperatures and Heatwaves: Impact: Accelerated degradation of stored plastics, especially outdoors. Significant increase in energy costs for cooling production facilities, given the company\\\\\\\'s energy-intensive nature. Health risks for employees exposed to high temperatures, especially in production facilities. Extreme Weather Events (storms, hailstorms, strong winds): Risk Level: High. Impact: Significant damage to production and storage facilities, given the company\\\\\\\'s large covered area (15,000 sq m). Disruptions in the supply chain, both for the receipt of raw materials (suppliers in eastern Sicily and abroad) and for the distribution of finished products. Production losses and delivery delays, with consequent financial and reputational impacts. Increased Risk of Fires: Risk Level: High. Impact: Given the flammable nature of plastics, increased temperatures and drought can significantly increase the risk of fires in storage and production facilities. Potentially catastrophic damage to facilities, with high financial losses and prolonged business interruption. CLIMATE-RELATED TRANSITION RISKS: Risk Level: Medium. Regulatory and Policy Changes Impact: Introduction of stricter regulations on the use of plastics, with possible restrictions or bans on certain products. Carbon emission taxes, which could significantly increase the operating costs of an energy-intensive company like Geaplast. Sustainability reporting obligations, which would require investments in monitoring and reporting systems. Market and Demand Evolution: Impact: Growing demand for recycled and biodegradable plastic products, which would require investments in new technologies and production processes. Possible loss of competitiveness if the company does not adapt to new market trends. Energy Costs: Risk Level: High. Impact: The increase in energy costs, due to decarbonization policies or the scarcity of fossil fuels, could have a significant impact on Geaplast\\\\\\\'s production costs, given its energy-intensive nature. Corporate Reputation and Image: Risk Level: Medium. Impact: Increasing pressure from customers and stakeholders to reduce the environmental impact of business activities. Risk of image damage in case of failure to transition to more sustainable production models. CLIMATE-RELATED GROSS RISKS For Geaplast, gross risks are high, given the company\\\\\\\'s vulnerability to extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and regulatory changes. The company\\\\\\\'s energy-intensive nature further amplifies the risks, making it particularly sensitive to rising energy costs and decarbonization policies. Risk level: Very High.

6.3 Have you integrated climate and/or nature into your company mission statement or shareholder agreements? If yes, describe how.

6.4 Have you taken actions this year outside of your emissions to accelerate climate progress?

7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.

Geaplast is going to install in the next 2 years a photovoltaic system with a nominal power of 497.34 kWp would allow Geaplast to: - Save approximately 98.420 € on annual electricity consumption costs; - Achieve an annual profit growth of approximately 66.574 € (net profit); - Reduce annual energy consumption by approximately 700.000 kWh; - Return on the investment (ROI) in about 5 years; - Have an average annual cash flow of 97,436 € - Reduce indirect emissions (scope2) by 325 tCO2eq

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?

Reducing scope 1 emissions,Reducing scope 2 emissions,Electrifying the vehicle fleet and/or cutting transport emissions,Insufficient funding,Low return on investment,Limited influence over suppliers
