This year, to add a further milestone to its sustainability journey, Mapei presents its first Sustainability Report with a global scope continuing its journey to share the results achieved in the field of sustainability by maintaining direct and transparent communication with its stakeholders as regards the activities undertaken to monitor and reduce the impact of production processes and products on the environment, promoting the activities of its employees and supporting local communities to achieve satisfying economic results.
2023 was a complex year, during which unexpected events occurred that are still influencing economic and political balances around the world. It was also the year in which the UN climate change conference, COP28, reached an agreement to transition away from fossil fuels by 2050.
In this situation of great change and widespread uncertainty, we have all endeavoured to ensure that Mapei remains a strong point in the building sector by exploiting our great experience, the long history we have behind us and our constant commitment to research, which has always been aimed at improving the results achieved and seeking new innovative and sustainable solutions.
Sustainability is one of the pillars on which Mapei is founded. A value that integrates the environmental, social and economic dimensions in a synergetic and virtuous manner, inextricably linked with our way of interacting with communities and people in all the 57 countries of the world where we are present.
For Mapei, the road to sustainability passes first and foremost through research.
We work to offer the construction world innovative high-quality solutions, that can increase the durability of buildings and reduce maintenance, leading to significant savings in all waste recovery and disposal processes and in energy consumption. This is why we measure the impacts that products have on the environment throughout their life cycle using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology with the aim of reducing them, through research and development work, while maintaining quality and durability.
This has allowed us to be, once again, pioneers in our sector and to be the first to propose the Zero Line, a product line whose residual CO2 emissions are totally offset through the acquisition of certified environmental credits to promote and encourage the implementation of reforestation and biodiversity protection projects.
