CLUB DE MAR - MALLORCA is one of the most deeply rooted private institutions on the island of Mallorca and a nautical and social reference point in the Mediterranean, a natural environment that defines us in spirit and style:

excellence, discretion, commitment and prestige.

On 1 June 1972, following three years of hard work and commitment, we opened the doors of CLUB DE MAR - MALLORCA: a project that was born to attract large boats from the French Riviera—a place of reference at that time—

to the island of Mallorca and thus become the home of a benchmark sailing club in the world of recreational boating.

Since its foundation, CLUB DE MAR - MALLORCA has worked tirelessly to draw in customers and users through a series of added-value services not found in other destinations, with special emphasis in recent years on obtaining a quality certification that reflects our continual commitment to society, sport and, of course, the environment.

Few Spanish ports meet the strict environmental management requirements that we have self-imposed, and, in our sector, it is rare that large and small vessels, sport and privacy are able to co-exist harmoniously.

The Club currently has 575 moorings ranging from eight metres (for small boats) to 135 meters in length, containing a transient dock with 350 meters of mooring line, a feature that makes it unique among sailing clubs and marinas in the western Mediterranean.

Its facilities (restaurant, bar, swimming pool, patios, conference room, cabins, night club, etc.) maintain the utmost quality and are ideal for meetings and social events, especially during the Mallorcan summer.

Since its inception, the Club has shown its commitment to nautical sports by maintaining a broad agenda of competitions and sporting activities.

The Club was the original site of the Campeonato Internacional del Mediterráneo [International Mediterranean Championship] during the Semana Balear de Cruceros [Balearic Cruise Week], a competition that sowed the seeds of the current Copa del Rey de Vela [King’s Cup of Sailing]. It was also one of the promoters behind the Semana Internacional de Vela – Trofeo Princesa Sofía [International Sailing Week - Princess Sofia Competition]. Other important competitions, such as the IMS 50-foot World Championships and the Ulysse Nardin Competition, have been held at its facilities. The Club currently organises the Illes Balears Clàssics regatta, a race for classic and vintage vessels and one of the most important of its kind in the western Mediterranean.

The Club has flagged the boat “Acciona”, a 60-foot eco-cruiser that, skippered by Mallorcan Bubi Sansó, participated in the 2013 edition of the "Vendée Globe" (sailing race round the world, solo, non-stop and without assistance).

The Club has a Sailing School providing instruction to 450 students over recent seasons and also maintains a fleet and a racing team that, using club material, gives its most outstanding students a chance to compete.

4. Policy

(8)

Environmental Management System of Club de Mar-Mallorca

The Environmental Management System in place at Club de Mar-Mallorca, based on Standard ISO 14001:2015 and Regulations EC 1221/2009, 1505/2017 and 2026/2018, has been integrated with the Quality Management System, based on Standard UNE 188004 “Tourist services on nautical sports facilities” and Standard ISO 9001:2015. The Management System is made up of the following documents:

 Quality and Environmental Policy

 Management Manual, where the scope and structure of the System is detailed.

 Specific procedures to comply with all contents of the leading Standards.

 Working guidelines that supplement the procedures by describing a specific section and detailing a specific activity.

 Records that substantiate the authenticity and operation of the System.

5. Definition and assessment of environmental considerations

Club de Mar-Mallorca has identified both direct (D) environmental considerations, derived from the activities that take place at its facilities, and indirect (I) environmental considerations, which come mainly from the activities of customers, suppliers, subcontractors and partner companies. Each one is complemented by the related area and the operating conditions in which they occur: normal, abnormal or emergency. The Organisation has identified the environmental considerations derived from the activities and services in its sphere of influence. For this purpose, normal operating conditions (NC), abnormal operating conditions (AC) and incidents or possible emergency situations (E) have been taken into account.

Environmental considerations are assessed annually to determine which are significant, i.e. whether their impact on the environment is considerable. To do so, the following criteria have been defined:

o Direct considerations: the frequency, severity, legislation, opportunities for improvement and magnitude (positive or negative evolution of the indicator associated with that consideration) are assessed. By multiplying all these parameters, we can obtain the total score for each consideration. The considerations with the three highest scores are deemed as significant.

o Indirect considerations: The frequency, severity and degree of influence or control exercised over them are assessed. By multiplying all these parameters, we can obtain the total score for the consideration in question.

Considerations with a score higher than 15 are deemed significant.

o Considerations under emergency conditions: the likelihood of occurrence and severity are assessed. Those with a score equal to or greater than four are deemed significant.

Significant environmental considerations are given priority when establishing the objectives and goals of the Management System.

(9)

Below is a list of the environmental considerations that, after applying the scoring criteria, were significant in 2019:

7. Environmental performance and actions completed

Below is the data concerning the environmental performance of Club de Mar-Mallorca. The results are expressed in absolute values, as well as in relation to the number of workers at the organisation, since there is no other annual reference value that represents all of the organisation's activities. Accordingly, we comply with the basic indicators required by the EMAS in Annex IV, section C, relating to the following areas: energy efficiency, efficiency in the consumption of materials, water, waste, biodiversity and emissions. Data on the number of employees was taken from the management company with which the Club works and corresponds to the average number of employees, taking into account the increase that occurs during the high season.

2017 2018 2019

No. of workers 69.13 68.31 77.21

8.1 Energy consumption 8.1.1 Electricity

The following are the main areas of electricity consumption and the improvements made in each one:

• Port area: Lights on lampposts and bollards have been changed to LED. A Good Environmental Practices pack is submitted to each vessel upon arrival, asking users to consume energy resources responsibly.

• Hangar building (Maintenance, changing rooms, children’s club): Energy-saving light bulbs have been installed.

Lighting in the changing rooms is equipped with presence detectors. Good Environmental Practices have been defined for staff and users that include habits for saving electricity.

• Social building (Meeting rooms, pool, changing rooms and cabins): Energy-saving light bulbs have been installed in cabins and meeting rooms. Hallways and lavatories have been fitted with presence detectors.

• Commercial building (Offices, bar, toilets): Lighting fixtures are progressively replaced with energy-saving light bulbs throughout the building. The offices have double-glazed windows. The La Marina bar is fitted with energy- efficient equipment, energy-saving light bulbs and LEDs. Good Environmental Practices have been put in place for office employees.

Regular meter readings are used to monitor electricity consumption.

(12)

Electricity consumption in buildings (internal)

YEAR TOTAL

(kWh) Percentage change

2017 232,037

2018 226,047 -2.58%

2019 227,718 0.74%

Total electricity consumption remains relatively unchanged. Thanks to the independent meters installed in specific areas, we know that the consumption in cabins has been reduced due to lower occupancy, while consumption in La Marina bar and the swimming pool has increased slightly.

Electricity consumption in the port area (users)

YEAR TOTAL

(kWh) Percentage change

2017 8,068,793

2018 7,282,198 -9.75%

2019 6,450,587 -11.4%

Electricity consumption in the port area comes mainly from mooring users—indirect consumption which has decreased in recent years.

Bookings of large vessels (>50) have increased by 22% in the last year, although the total number of bookings has been 5% lower. The Club continues to raise awareness by handing out a Good Environmental Practices pack to non-resident vessels.

TOTAL electricity consumption

(13)

The total annual electricity consumption (sum of the two above) is shown in relation to the no. of workers at the organisation:

YEAR TOTAL

(kWh) kWh/no. of workers

2017 8,300,830 120,082.60

2018 7,508,245 109,917.51

2019 6,678,305 86,499.82

The reduction in total consumption due mainly to the reduced consumption in the port area, i.e. moored vessels, where the number of total bookings has decreased.

8.1.2 Natural Gas

Consumption of natural gas occurs at the following facilities:

o Kitchens of the La Marina bar.

o Domestic hot water (DHW) in the sailors’ changing rooms.

o Heating in the offices located in the commercial building.

Gas consumption is monitored through periodic meter readings. Consumption (m3) broken down by source is shown below:

OFFICE HEATING BAR KITCHEN DHW SAILOR CHANGING

ROOM

2017 1973 1695 1513

2018 1919 2020 1320

2019 2324 1808 1524

 Gas consumption for heating in the office building has increased by 21.1%, due to failures in on/off programming.

 Gas consumption at the bar has decreased by 10.5%, despite the fact that the number of dishes sold has increased by 7.9% in the last year.

(14)

 Gas consumption of the boiler that supplies hot water to the sailors' changing rooms has increased by 15.5% in absolute values. There are several types of users at these facilities: nautical school students (down 18%), sailors (up 15%) and also industrial users who come to work on the boats (not measurable).

YEAR TOTAL (m3) m3/no. of workers

2017 5,181 74.95

2018 5,259 76.99

2019 5,656 73.26

The total ratio has not increased despite the increase in gas consumption of the boiler in the office building, which has been operating for more hours due to programming failures.

8.1.3 Diesel

Club de Mar-Mallorca has 7 diesel tanks. Five of the tanks are intended to supply both the users’ boats at the Club and the vehicles and boats owned by the organisation. The other two smaller tanks store diesel for heating and domestic hot water.

Internal consumption of diesel comes from:

o 1 shopping van o 2 maintenance trucks o 1 harbour crew vehicle

o 1 van belonging to the nautical school

o 2 harbour crew boats and support to regattas/nautical school o Heating and DHW boiler in the social building.

As a measure to reduce internal fuel consumption, the Club has several electric scooters for harbour crew and security personnel to move around the facilities, as well as four electric cars: three buggies for security, harbour crew and maintenance, and a Twizy for security rounds. We also rent another electric car for courtesy transport during the summer to carry users between the port area and the building area.

Diesel consumption is monitored through meter readings and petrol pump refuelling records.

(15)

Consumption (litres) broken down by source is shown below:

BOILER DHW and heating

2017 4,400 1,132.8 2,435.6 1,792.9 1,512.5 0

2018 3,550 386.1 3,046.2 1,282.4 2,207.2 76.9

2019 2,050 387.6 2,836.5 1,722.7 1,632.8 90.7

 Diesel consumption of the boiler in the social building has been reduced by 42% due to the low occupancy of the cabins (28% reduction in occupancy) and the restaurant being closed.

 Harbour crew consumption remains stable and corresponds to a boat for towing boats and for emergencies.

 Maintenance consumption has dropped by 6.9% despite no clear explanation.

 The purchasing department's consumption has risen by 34%, due to the increased undertakings of the department head, who is responsible for administrative tasks outside the Club (delivery and collection of documentation).

 The Nautical School and regattas have seen their consumption drop by 26%. Since we now have consumption data broken down for the last two years, we can see that the reduction has occurred equally in both years. The 18% decrease in the number of students and the laser championship held in 2018 brought about this change.

 The security department uses electric vehicles and scooters, but, in 2019, it also used a diesel vehicle on an ad hoc basis for a brief period.

(16)

Below is the total internal diesel consumption:

YEAR TOTAL INTERNAL

(litres) l/no. of workers

2017 11,273.8 163.1

2018 10548.8 154.4

2019 8,720.3 112.9

The 12% drop in total consumption is due mainly to the major reduction in boiler consumption for DHW and heating the social building, where cabins have seen lower occupancy and the external restaurant has been closed.

8.1.4 Petrol

A petrol tank is available to supply petrol to users' boats as well as to boats and vehicles owned by the organisation.

Internal consumption of petrol comes from:

o 6 inflatable boats

o Small maintenance machinery

As a measure to reduce internal fuel consumption, the Club has several electric scooters for harbour crew and security personnel to move around the facilities, as well as four electric cars: three buggies for security, harbour crew and maintenance, and a Twizy for security rounds. We also rent another electric car for courtesy transport during the summer to carry users between the port area and the building area.

Consumption (litres) broken down by source is shown below:

OWN BOATS AND VEHICLES

Harbour crew Maintenance Nautical School + Regattas

2017 493.41 118.87 7,974.49

2018 876.10 135.80 7,033.5

2019 757.7 228.16 6093.95

(17)

 Harbour crew consumption has been reduced by 13.5%. Assistance is provided to boats when they arrive at the Club, but, in 2019, total boat entries decreased by 5%, specifically boats under 50 m, which are the ones that request accompaniment to the mooring.

 Petrol consumption in the maintenance department has increased by 68%; this consumption is minor when compared to that of the other departments, due to the use of machinery, which varies according to needs.

 Consumption from the nautical school and regattas has been reduced by 13.4%. The 18% decrease in the number of students and the laser championship held in 2018 brought about this change.

Below is the total internal petrol consumption:

YEAR TOTAL INTERNAL

(litres) l/no. of workers

2017 8,586.8 124.22

2018 8,119.9 118.87

2019 7,079.8 91.70

The reduction in total petrol consumption is due in large part to reduced activity in the Nautical School and regattas for the reasons explained above: decrease in the number of students and regattas.

(18)

8.1.5 Total energy consumption

The total energy consumption at Club de Mar-Mallorca (calculated in MWh) is the sum of electricity consumption (see point 7.1.1), natural gas consumption (point 7.1.2), diesel consumption (point 7.1.3) and petrol consumption (point 7.1.4).

The calculation uses the conversion factors found in the following source: www.idae.es (Factor gasóleo A y B=0,0098 MWh/l, Factor gasolina=0,009 MWh/l) y de la Guía práctica per al càlcul d’emissions de gasos amb efecte hivernacle (Generalitat de Catalunya) del 01/03/2020 (Factor 11,79 kWh/kg gas natural y factor 11,94 kWh/kg gasoil).

The result, in accordance with the different types of energy, is the following:

TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION

YEAR MWh MWh/no. of

workers

2017 8,548.2 123.7

2018 7,744.3 113.4

2019 6,889.9 89.2

This reduction is conditioned by the contribution of electricity, which, as already mentioned in the corresponding point, has seen a decrease in consumption from users of the port area.

(19)

8.2 Water quality and consumption

The water supplied to Club de Mar-Mallorca facilities comes from the general municipal supply network (Emaya), through the Port Authority, which is responsible for billing. Water consumption at all club facilities and by jetty users is monitored by daily meter readings.

8.2.1 Water consumption

Main areas of consumption and environmental improvements at each one:

• Port area (harbour crew and users): consumption at the moorings, controlled using meters. Replacement of threaded taps with ball valve taps on jetties. In addition, Good Environmental Practices have been put in place for staff, suppliers, subcontractors, collaborating companies and users in order to stress the importance of using water responsibly.

• Hangar building (maintenance, user changing rooms): Sailors' changing rooms located in this building are equipped with push-button taps and showers and dual-flush toilets, as well as urinals in the men’s changing rooms that do not require water to operate.

• Social building (restaurant, lounger, cabins): Cabin lavatories are equipped with dual-flush toilets, and towels are be changed only upon request. We have created a Good Environmental Practices brochure specifically for the users of the rooms.

• Commercial building (Offices and bar): The bar has a low consumption water softener, and the urinals in the men's lavatories do not require water.

• Planters and garden areas The planters in the Social Building and the Commercial Building have been waterproofed, spray guns have been installed on hoses to minimise water consumption and the irrigation pipes and sprinklers in the adult pool area have been replaced with lower flow sprinklers.

Water consumption in building area (internal)

YEAR TOTAL (m3) Percentage change

2017 5,479.83 5.8%

2018 3,709.30 -32.3%

2019 3,824.60 3.1%

Consumption remains practically the same when compared to the previous year's values after the noteworthy reduction in 2018 due to the closure of the restaurant and improvements to the irrigation system and channels.

(20)

Water consumption in the port area (users)

YEAR TOTAL (m3) Percentage change

2017 22,712.96

2018 24,071.38 -14.9%

2019 29,170 21.2%

This is an indirect environmental consideration. The organisation raises awareness among users through signage and the distribution of Good Environmental Practices with recommendations on the responsible use of water.

TOTAL water consumption

The total annual water consumption (sum of the two above) is shown in relation to the no. of workers at the business:

YEAR TOTAL (m3) m3/no. of workers

2017 28,192.8 407.85

2018 27,780.68 406.70

2019 32,994.60 427.36

The increase in total water consumption is due to the increase in water consumption in the port area, which corresponds to indirect consumption by boats.

8.2.2 Preventive measures in relation to water quality

Water quality control

Once a year, the cistern is cleaned and disinfected through hyperchlorination. On a monthly basis, an approved laboratory performs analytical tests on water in the network water at terminal points to check compliance with the regulations on the quality of water for human consumption, “Royal Decree 140/2003, of 7 February, establishing the health criteria for the quality of water for human consumption” and “Decree 53 / 2012, of 6 July, on health surveillance of water for human consumption in the Balearic Islands”.

Water quality control at the port

Although there is no Directive or regional or national legislation that regulates the quality of the water at the docks of marinas, Club de Mar-Mallorca performs an annual hydrocarbon analysis at the point most likely to cause contamination: next to the petrol pump. The following analysis garnered a satisfactory result as no significant presence of hydrocarbons was detected:

Residual water quality control

Club de Mar-Mallorca discharges wastewater from its facilities into the municipal sewage system.

In an effort to reduce the pollutant load in wastewater stemming from cleaning activities at the facilities, we strive to minimise the use of aggressive cleaning products. Cleaning and maintenance personnel receive internal training on sound practices when handling and storing chemical products, as well as how to act in the event of spills.

8.3 Waste management

All areas of Club de Mar-Mallorca generate waste. However, waste generation is not only due to the Club's own undertakings; the Club's users are the largest source of waste generation, especially in terms of the waste generated by boats (some of which are quite large). In fact, the Club functions as an intermediary in waste management, making it difficult to analyse the annual results.

Club de Mar-Mallorca has systems to selectively sort urban solid waste, hazardous waste and other non-hazardous waste.

Proper sorting requires intervention by staff, suppliers, subcontractors and collaborating companies, as well as Club members and users.

In terms of waste management, the following measures are noteworthy:

• There is a collection point for selective sorting of all types of waste

• There are intermediate points for sorting solid urban waste on the different jetties

• Rubbish bins have been placed in the different departments for selective sorting of urban waste

• Working guidelines on waste management have been posted at the facilities and distributed to staff

• The harbour crew removes waste from large vessels.

Generation and management of urban solid waste

The Environmental Manager is in charge of monitoring the amount of urban solid waste generated at the Club by recording the number of containers removed and an estimate of the weight of each container. This excludes the amount of ordinary waste removed, which is monitored by the municipal management company.

URBAN SOLID WASTE 2017 (kg) 2018 (kg) 2019 (kg)

Paper/cardboard 29,745 21,465 24,165

Light containers 15,466 15,244 18,426

Other 334,000 309,000 293,000

Generation and management of hazardous and non-hazardous waste

In accordance with current waste legislation, Club de Mar-Mallorca has agreements with authorised hazardous waste managers and with authorised transporters of non-hazardous waste. The Environmental Manager is in charge of recording and monitoring removals and must hold on to supporting documentation.

The amount of hazardous waste is rising due to the increasingly long stays of large vessels. Urban waste generation is decreasing following the closure of the restaurant under external management in the last quarter of 2018.

8.4 Atmospheric emissions

Club de Mar-Mallorca has different sources of atmospheric emissions:

• Extractors in the bar’s kitchen.

• Refrigeration, preservation and air conditioning equipment containing refrigerant gases: cold rooms, chests, bottle racks, refrigerators and air conditioning equipment.

• 1 diesel boiler for DHW (social building)

• 1 gas boiler for heating (office building)

• 1 gas thermal accumulator for DHW (sailors’ changing rooms)

• 5 vehicles: two trucks, three vans and one car

• 8 boats: one dinghy (CLUMA 1), one 9-metre boat (RODMAN 900) and six inflatable boats.

8.4.1 Combustion gas emissions

The boilers at Club de Mar-Mallorca, as regards their power and fuel, have not been classified as APCA [Activities with Potential to Pollute the Atmosphere] by the Conselleria de Medi Ambient [Department of Environment of the Balearic Islands], and are thus exempt from the emissions control every 5 years. To ensure proper combustion, an authorised maintenance company performs regular maintenance on them following the parameters set by the RITE (Regulation for Thermal Installations of Buildings).

When calculating the gas emissions caused by the combustion of diesel and natural gas to feed the boilers, the emission factors published in the Carbon Footprint Calculator 2019 of the Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica [Spanish Ministry of Environment] and the emission factors published by the Direcció General d’Energia i Canvi Climàtic de la Conselleria de Territori, Energia i Mobilitat [General Directorate of Energy and Climate Change of the Department of Territory, Energy and Mobility of the Balearic Islands] in May 2020 have been taken into account.

We wish to highlight the following measures undertaken at the Club to reduce vehicle emissions:

(28)

- Electric courtesy car service during the summer months to transfer users from the port area to the building- services area, thus reducing the use of private vehicles.

- Electric vehicles for transport within the facilities for security, harbour and maintenance staff.

- Use of electric scooters among harbour crew for internal movement.

8.4.2 Gas emissions from the use of electricity

When calculating the CO2, the emission factors published in the Carbon Footprint Calculator 2019 of the Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica [Spanish Ministry of Environment] have been taken into account (provided by the Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia [National Commission for Markets and Competition] to the company Endesa Energía S.A. Unipersonal https://gdo.cnmc.es/CNE/resumenGdo.do?anio=2019). When calculating the SO2, NOx and particulate matter emissions related to electricity consumption, the conversion factors published by the Direcció General d’Energia i Canvi Climàtic de la Conselleria de Territori, Energia i Mobilitat [General Directorate of Energy and Climate Change of the Department of Territory, Energy and Mobility of the Balearic Islands] in May 2020 have been taken into account (for 2019, the 2018 value is used as a reference, as there is still no data for that year):

8.4.3 Refrigerant gas emissions

In order to ensure that no work is carried out with prohibited refrigerant gases, we keep an inventory of all machinery containing refrigerant gases, specifying the type of gas and the quantity contained in each piece of equipment. The club’s machinery uses the following refrigerant gases: R410A, R407C, R404A, R427A, R600A, R134A and DI36.

We regularly service air conditioning and refrigeration equipment to minimise emissions of HCFCs and HFCs into the atmosphere.

8.4.4 Total greenhouse gas and air emissions

When accounting for the above points together, we can calculate the total greenhouse gas emissions generated by the sum of electricity consumption and diesel consumption (boiler and transport), petrol consumption and natural gas consumption, as well as total air emissions by adding the results obtained for SO2, NOx and particles. This data reflects the organisation's contribution to climate changes affecting the planet.

8.5 Noise and vibrations

Provided there are no changes in activities or facilities or deviations that require greater frequency, every three years, Club de Mar-Mallorca performs a complete study on the noise generated at the facilities and in the surrounding area to assess compliance with the relevant regulations, including the Municipal Ordinance for the Protection of the Environment against Pollution by Noise and Vibrations of Palma de Mallorca.

The latest sound level measurement—performed by the company Sinergies with a properly calibrated and verified sound level meter—corresponds to 14 September 2018. The resulting report concludes that the noise levels produced during daytime hours in the areas surrounding the Club are within the limits established by the relevant regulations. No measures were taken at night, since there is almost no activity at the Club.

Measures in place to control and reduce noise

• Preferential schedules have been established for suppliers to make deliveries in an effort minimise any inconvenience to users, since there are no neighbours nearby.

• All departments, and even suppliers and subcontractors working at the facilities, have received Good Environmental Practices and courtesy guidelines, reminding them to keep the noise they make during their work to a minimum.

8.6 Biodiversity

The biodiversity indicator is set forth below.

BIODIVERSITY 2019

Total land use (m2) 21,351

Total sealed surface (m2) 20,312

Total nature-oriented surface (m2) 1,039

While nautical activities and the very existence of the port affect biodiversity—especially the marine ecosystem—the Club has taken the following actions to help conserve biodiversity and maintain the quality of the waters in the Mediterranean:

 Submission of instructions on Good Environmental Practices to users and companies that perform maintenance work in the port area. Monitoring of these tasks by harbour crew to prevent improper waste management, dumping and unauthorised maintenance work on the boats.

 Measures to promote proper waste management: containers for urban waste in the port area and for all types of waste at the collection point.

(31)

Collaboration with The Seabin Project for the installation of two floating debris interception devices in the club's water surface.

Collaboration with the Cleanwave Foundation for the Illes Balears Clàssics and Spanish Canoeing Championship races, where we installed a drinking water fountain and an informational stand to eliminate single-use plastic cups (each participant could fill their own bottle).

 Organisation of sea floor cleaning days in the port area with the collaboration of diving companies and volunteers.

8.7 Storage and handling of chemical products

Storage: Club de Mar-Mallorca has a general storehouse for chemical products. Products are stored separately in an orderly manner and grouped by class to prevent improper mixing. All products are kept in their original packaging and properly covered, the manufacturer's label is kept, and there is a folder with the technical data sheets of each product.

(32)

safety data sheets. These areas have been protected so that any spills can be collected with absorbent material, leaving soil and/or drains unaffected.

Product consumption: The organisation keeps track of consumption using supplier invoices. Staff are trained in sound chemical storage practices. We are able to distinguish between products for cleaning and products for swimming pool maintenance.

Environmental criteria for purchasing: We have established a series of environmental criteria to be taken into account when purchasing new products and services. The environmental criteria are the following:

• Reuse of containers and packaging by the supplier

• Collection and proper management of waste generated by suppliers

• Prioritise purchases from suppliers that boast an Environmental Management System or have adopted environmental control measures.

• Take into account the environmental characteristics of the products supplied compared to the other options on the market: prioritise selecting recycled products and environmentally friendly cleaning products, waste minimisation, etc.

The evolution of our consumption of chemical products over the last three years is shown in the following table.

CONSUMPTION OF CHEMICAL

PRODUCTS 2017 2018 2019

CLEANING (kg) 2,991.1 2,455.5 3,160.5

POOL (kg) 3,038 2,910.8 2,984.6

TOTAL T 6.03 5.37 6.15

T/no. of workers 0.087 0.079 0.080

The consumption of cleaning products has increased by 29% following renovations on the new location of the Nautical School in Ca'n Barberà and the expansion of premises for use by the Club following the lease by external companies. Consumption of swimming pool maintenance products remained virtually unchanged, with a small increase of 3%.

8.8 Paper consumption

Paper consumption is monitored using purchase receipts. Management is by far the largest consumer.

(33)

TOTAL (kg) 1,095 842.5 737.5

T/no. of workers 15.8 12.3 9.6

Following the implementation of specific measures over the last two years (eliminating the monthly billing letter, digitisation of the welcome pack, among others), we have achieved a total reduction of 32%.

8.9 Emergencies

Club de Mar-Mallorca has identified all possible emergency situations that could occur in its facilities and has notified all employees of the specific actions to be taken in each case using an emergency chart and a variety of Technical Instructions.

Elsewhere, a Self-Protection Plan has been drawn up in accordance with the guidelines of Decree 8/2004, which implements certain aspects of the Emergency Act of the Balearic Islands. Each department has an updated copy of the Self-Protection Plan in case of fire or environmental emergency.

Regarding fire protection measures, Subcontractors perform an annual review, and the corresponding quarterly reviews of the fire suppression measures—fire alarm control panel, fire extinguishers and hoses—in compliance with Royal Decree 513/2017, on Fire Protection Installations. The Club has two water extraction pumps connected directly to the sea: one fixed on the tug and the other mobile pump in the Maintenance area.

A fire evacuation drill coordinated by an external company is performed annually, and if anomalies are detected, they are corrected.

The organisation distributes information on prevention and safety measures in the welcome pack given to non- resident vessels, and the same information is displayed on the location maps posted throughout the facilities.

The Club monitors and records all accidents and incidents, analysing the possible causes and proposing the appropriate improvement actions to stop them from happening again. During 2019, the following environmental emergencies occurred at the Club's facilities: two water leaks from piping in the port area, a diesel spill on the water surface next to the petrol pump and a potential sinking boat. In all situations, we acted in accordance with the measures put in place to mitigate any associated impact on the environment.
