GOV-2(was GOV-3)Integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemesReported
Reference: page 15
Iveco Group offers both long- and short-term incentive plans linked, among other things, to some of its strategic sustainability targets. The Long-Term Incentive Plan has two components: Company performance awards (Performance Share Units) and retention-based awards (Restricted Share Units), with only PSUs awarded to Executive Directors. The Company performance component is linked to achieving predefined performance and market objectives over a three-year period. In 2024 the compensation plan for the Executive Directors (Chairperson and CEO) included long-term incentives linked to reducing CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) against 2019. The 2023-2025 LTI PSU awards are contingent on a 22% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions (Focus Area) by 2025, and the 2024-2026 awards on a 28% reduction by 2026, with a 20% weighting towards overall individual awards. The LTIP also applies to Senior Leadership Team members and certain individuals below senior management. Short-term incentives in 2024 were linked to increasing the number of office positions held by women, applying to SLT members including the CEO and all professional-and-above employees.
GOV-3(was GOV-4)Statement on due diligenceReported

Iveco Group places particular emphasis on conducting due diligence within its value chain, recognising the crucial role it plays in Group operations. Due diligence is described as an ongoing practice that responds to and may trigger changes in the Company's strategy, business model, activities, business relationships, and operating, sourcing, and selling contexts. The Statement maps the core elements of due diligence to the sections where they are addressed. Embedding due diligence in governance, strategy, and business model is covered in sections 1.6 and 1.8. Engaging with affected stakeholders in all key steps is covered in section 1.7. Identifying and assessing adverse impacts is covered in section 1.9. Taking actions to address adverse impacts is covered across sections on climate, air pollution, water, resource inflow and outflow, and business conduct and corporate culture. Tracking the effectiveness of these efforts and communicating is covered in the climate metrics, air pollution, water consumption, and resource inflow and outflow sections. These actions are presented as the starting point for the Group's structured due diligence approach to sustainability.
GOV-4(was GOV-5)Risk management and internal controls over sustainability reportingReported
Reference: page 16
In 2024, Iveco Group launched an initiative to enhance its internal control system for sustainability reporting, focusing on both design and operating effectiveness. The internal control system consists of policies, procedures, organisational structures, and a corporate culture, enabling identification, evaluation, and mitigation of risks that could affect objectives. It was implemented based on the COSO guidance 'Achieving Effective Internal Control over Sustainability Reporting (ICSR)' issued on 31 March 2023, leveraging the five components and 17 principles of the COSO Internal Control Integrated Framework. The Group's ICSR process includes Governance, Scoping, Risk Analysis, Process and Control Documentation, Monitoring, and Evaluation and Reporting phases. The main risks identified are inaccurate or incomplete data, mitigated through process controls over data calculation and collection, and data not compliant with applicable regulations, mitigated through central controls by the Sustainability function. The control model uses entity-level controls, process-level controls, and IT general controls. The ICSR Framework has been presented to the SLT, Audit Committee, and ESG Committee, which are periodically updated on progress. Phased implementation has been planned over approximately three years from 2024.
SBM-1Strategy, business model and value chainReported

The Group has manufacturing, commercial, and financial services companies in 34 countries and a commercial presence in approximately 158 countries. As at 31 December 2024 it had five operating segments: Truck, Bus, Defence, Powertrain (FPT Industrial brand), and Financial Services. Total employees numbered 36,046, mostly in Europe (30,968). The Group does not operate in the fossil fuel, chemical production, controversial weapons, or tobacco cultivation industries. Its mission is to put sustainability at the heart of its strategy. Stakeholders and value creation are classified per the World Economic Forum pillars of planet, people, and prosperity. The value chain comprises suppliers and sub-suppliers, employees, distribution networks, customers, and end users. The Sustainability Plan sets SMART targets aligned with the four sustainability priorities, updated annually and reviewed mid-year by the SLT and the ESG Committee.
SBM-2Interests and views of stakeholdersReported
Reference: page 21
Iveco Group considers establishing and maintaining stable, lasting relationships with stakeholders crucial for creating shared value over the long term. Through an internal assessment by the corporate functions that manage stakeholder relations, the Group identified key stakeholder categories including employees, employees' families, other workers, trade unions, customers, the dealer and service network, suppliers and business partners, the financial community, public institutions, research centres and universities, local communities, the environment, and next generations. Engagement is structured around four levels: Inform, Listen, Involve, and Collaborate, each with defined methods. In 2024 key initiatives included involving investors during Euronext Sustainability Week 2024, engaging stakeholders in the materiality assessment, engaging all employees through the Voice programme, and hosting multiple Supplier Days. The financial community focused primarily on product decarbonisation, supply chain sustainability, ESG KPIs in executive remuneration, and ESG ratings. Suppliers raised climate-related risks and sustainable sourcing of critical raw materials such as steel, while customers demanded more energy-efficient products. Climate change mitigation and human rights remain priorities for all stakeholders. The Group has adopted a Stakeholder Dialogue Policy on Sustainable Strategy.
SBM-3Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business modelReported
Reference: page 23
Understanding the context in which Iveco Group operates is the first step in the materiality assessment, involving preliminary mapping of activities and the value chain to identify where impacts, risks, and opportunities may arise. Drawing on the assessment, the Group's sustainability strategy is built on four strategic priorities: carbon footprint (net zero carbon emissions by 2040), workplace and product safety, life cycle thinking, and inclusion and engagement. Targets supporting these priorities are included in the Strategic Business Plan and Sustainability Plan, with progress reported to the ESG Committee and SLT. The matters identified in the 2024 materiality assessment reflect industry priorities. Mitigating climate change remains a critical priority due to impacts of operations, the supply chain, and product use, and regulatory risks tied to vehicle emissions standards. Working conditions and human rights across the value chain were confirmed as highly material due to sourcing key raw materials from critical supply chains. Product quality and safety, innovation, and dealer and customer management remain material. Compared to 2023, pollution and business conduct emerged as material. At year-end 2024, no material risks or opportunities were identified as posing a significant risk of requiring a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the following period.
IRO-1Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunitiesReported
Reference: page 24
In 2024, Iveco Group's materiality assessment approach was in line with the CSRD framework as outlined in the ESRS and EFRAG guidelines, entailing a double materiality approach covering impact materiality (the Group's positive or negative, actual or potential impacts over the short, medium, and long term, including across its value chain) and financial materiality (sustainability risks and opportunities affecting growth, positioning, and performance). The process had four steps. Step 1 analysed and understood the organisational and business context, mapping activities and the value chain and identifying potentially material matters from the ESRS list of topics plus entity-specific aspects. Step 2 identified impacts, risks, and opportunities, using sources such as the ENCORE platform for impacts and the Enterprise Risk Management function for risks. Step 3 assessed significance using impact materiality (inside-out) and financial materiality (outside-in), with impacts assessed via workshops using Scale, Scope, Irremediable Character, and Likelihood, and risks scored by Severity and Likelihood on a 1 to 4 scale; external stakeholders including suppliers, dealers, local communities, and the scientific community were consulted. Step 4 defined and prioritised the material matters, validated by the SLT and approved by the ESG Committee.

Iveco Group has set several voluntary strategic sustainability targets for its workforce, incorporated into its Strategic Business Plan. On diversity, the Group aims to ensure that 30% of office positions overall are held by female office workers by year-end 2028, and believes women and men should each represent at least one-third of the Senior Leadership Team (a goal presently achieved). On pay equity, the Group committed to maintain gender pay equity across the Organisation and have it certified by a third party by year-end 2026; certification from EDGE was achieved in November 2024, well ahead of schedule. On health and safety, the Group set a target to reduce the injury frequency rate of employees and agency workers by 40% by year-end 2026 compared with the 2019 baseline; in 2024 the rate had decreased by 50.6% versus 2019, already exceeding the target. The Group also targets completion of a human rights assessment cycle for 2025-2027 covering 100% of employees in internal operations by year-end 2027.

Reference: page 82
Iveco Group's workforce includes non-employee workers comprising agency workers and contractors. As at 31 December 2024, agency contracts accounted for 3,112 personnel, broadly in line with the previous year, most of whom were hourly workers within the Manufacturing function. An increase in hourly agency workers in the Bus Business Unit was partially offset by a decrease in the Powertrain BU, both driven by production volume trends, while the reduction in the Truck BU was mainly due to the conversion of about 200 agency contracts into permanent employment contracts. Agency personnel are defined as working for, rather than employed by, Iveco Group, contracted and paid through external third-party companies and coordinated by internal supervisors. There were also 3,793 contractors throughout the year (expressed as full-time equivalent based on total hours worked), providing mainly general services such as canteen work, cleaning, waste management, and maintenance. Contractors are external companies or self-employed workers contracted to provide services within the Group perimeter.

S1-9(was S1-10)Adequate wagesReported
Reference: page 89
Iveco Group is committed to offering a base salary that is compliant with local regulations, competitive with the local market, and sustainable from a business perspective. In many countries minimum wage levels are established by law, while in others, such as Italy, Germany, and Belgium, they are set through collective bargaining agreements negotiated at regional or national level. In 2024, Iveco Group assessed the adequacy of entry-level wages in each country of operation. The findings confirmed that employees were compensated appropriately, aligning with country benchmarks at or above the statutory minimum or collective labour agreement levels. The Group upholds pay equity by reviewing and adjusting pay ranges each year to comply with local statutory requirements, monitoring the starting salaries of new employees and internal promotions to ensure they fall within predefined ranges, and consistently reviewing pay ranges throughout the year to reduce the likelihood of importing pay inequities from previous employers.

The Group complies with all legal requirements on benefits, insurance, and leave in every country of operation. In a limited number of countries (Ethiopia, Tunisia, India, and the UAE, about 0.3% of global headcount), social protection does not cover unemployment benefits.
S1-11(was S1-12)Persons with disabilitiesReported
Reference: page 86
An assessment to monitor the employment of people with disabilities was carried out in 2024 in 17 countries where the law requires companies to employ a minimum percentage of employees with disabilities, covering more than 92% of Group employees worldwide. The assessment showed that differently abled employees in these countries make up 4% of the global employee headcount. It also showed that differently abled women account for 19% of the total assessed, while men account for 81%. In all other countries of operation there is no legislation establishing minimum quotas for the employment of people with disabilities, although in some cases other forms of protection exist relating to working hours or workplace environments. In these countries there are objective limitations to reporting the number of differently abled employees, as the information is sensitive and often subject to data protection legislation, so the Group is only aware of an employee's personal status if they choose to disclose it. The Group's DEI Policy includes providing accessibility for people with disabilities among its priorities.

Reference: page 118
Iveco Group's voluntary commitment to the material sustainability matters Product quality, safety, and accessibility and Digitalisation and connectivity is reflected by a strategic sustainability target in the Strategic Business Plan: to ensure that 100% of new vehicles manufactured in Europe are equipped with Level 2 ADAS by year-end 2026, along with additional advanced functions such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Corrective Steering Function, and Lane Centring. This target is in line with the Product Safety, Security, and Technical Compliance Policy. Its main objective is to maintain high standards in the prevention of road accidents, reflecting the Group's broader commitment to offering products that ensure the safety of end users and road users alike. Given the intrinsic nature of this target, establishing a base year is not feasible. Further details on the target definition process are provided in the Sustainability Plan.

Iveco Group states that its contractual payment terms are designed to be consistent across all supplier categories and in line with mandatory regulations. Worldwide, the Group's average standard contractual payment term is 70 days starting from the invoice date. This average includes agreements with some long-term business partners or arrangements covering specific situations where different payment terms may apply; the details of payment terms by category and the percentage of payments aligned with standard terms are currently unavailable.
