Regarding waste disposal, at the end of 2010, all companies of the Telecom Italia Media Group had signed up to SISTRI (Waste Traceability Control System), a new system developed on the initiative of the Ministry of the Environment and Territorial and Marine Protection to computerize the entire special waste chain at national level.
With particular reference to Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting, the objective was to identify all environmental aspects and impacts related to its business operations and to ensure that these are carried out in accordance with current environmental legislation, whether this be local, Italian or European.
One of the objectives is to promote all possible measures to reduce the environmental impact to a minimum with the aid of continuous monitoring and internal checks using electromagnetic field and noise measurements.
To achieve this result the basic task is to foster the environmental awareness of Personnel, through training/information, to enhance their understanding of a sustainable use of the resources available (reduction of atmospheric emissions and optimization of vehicle transport) and a greater focus on waste reduction, encouraging sorting of waste and more recycling where possible.
In particular, following a thorough environmental analysis, Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting has identified the following consumption levels, which it has managed to reduce considerably:
| Electricity: |

| Noise: |

| Electromagnetic pollution: |

abatement linked to the use of digital technology allowing 75% less irradiated power to be emitted compared to analog.
