The sixth Sustainability Report just published dealing with Mapei SpA and the Group's European subsidiaries.
The Mapei Group is growing in terms of income and the number of staff.
Its commitment to sustainability, one of the pillars of its corporate strategy, is also increasing at the same time.
The figures for the sixth Sustainability Report that have just been published (in reference to 2021) are eloquent: 1,939 million euro handed out to stakeholders, 38 million euro invested in Research & Development, and 32 million euro spent on sports, cultural and social projects.
This year’s document (an extract in English language of it can be downloaded
here) covers Europe, i.e. it refers to Mapei SpA and
all its Italian and European subsidiaries consolidated in their entirely.
Sustainable innovation and attention to the environment and people guide the company's operations, as Veronica Squinzi and Marco Squinzi, the Group’s CEOs, told us: "Mapei constantly studies cutting-edge solutions for reducing the environmental impact of its operations and promoting high quality, long-lasting building work, focusing on the entire life cycle of products and putting the well-being of the planet and people at the centre of its business operations. Acting effectively by generating less and less waste and limiting the exploitation of resources is one of the main challenges of this millennium: we at Mapei are taking this on by paying special attention to the use of recycled materials in our products and their formulas, and also for packaging. This requires study, constant commitment to research and, above all, the belief that change is possible".

Sustainability as part of everyday life
Sustainability is part of everyday life at Mapei.
It is embodied, for example, in the careful selection of raw materials and the attempt to consume a smaller amount of these materials in creating products with low environmental impact, especially in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
Particular attention also focuses on the implementation of operations that boost circularity in the building industry and make constructions more durable.
The high quality and low environmental impact that characterise Mapei products do, indeed, contribute to the sustainability of the buildings in which they are used, increasing their service life and energy performance.
Other important ussies are relations with the local communities in which the company operates, support for sport and culture and, last but not least, the central importance of the people who belong to the "big Mapei family”.
Year after year this proves to be a winning approach acknowledged even outside the company: according to a survey carried out by Statista, a leading operator in market research and business data analysis, in partnership with the Italian financial newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, Mapei is one of the 150 most sustainable Italian companies, the only one in the chemical industry.
