With San Benedetto to reduce impact

Behind our collaboration with Acque Minerali San Benedetto is the joint commitment to safeguarding the
environment; a model of excellence in the mineral water industry, San Benedetto introduced PET back in
the 1980s, in line with an energy-saving approach based on a lower amount of plastic used for bottling and
reduced CO emissions throughout the production cycle.

The partnership with Costa Cruises is designed to substantially reduce the quantity of packaging used for the
mineral water distributed on board. By replacing the 1.5 liter bottle with a 2-liter version that actually weighs
less, it has been possible to reduce the amount of plastic sent for disposal by some 26 metric tons a year.
