Sustainability report
For the sixth year running, Mapei has decided to continue sharing the results achieved in the field of sustainability and to share with its stakeholders the activities undertaken to monitor and reduce the impact of production processes and products on the environment, to promote the activities of its employees and support local communities to achieve satisfying economic results.
2021 has seen recovery and the desire to return to normality, giving new
impulses to energy, in the awareness of facing an unprecedented and
unexplored scenario that represents a simultaneously complex and
fascinating challenge. At Mapei, too, borne by the great desire to restart
and aware of the responsibilities that a company like ours must assume at
such a complex and unpredictable time, we have chosen to reassert our
growth path with conviction. We are guided in this by the same corporate
strategy that has proved successful even in difficult periods, based on Internationalisation, Specialisation, Research and Development and, above
all: Sustainability.
Mapei studies advanced solutions every day to reduce the environmental
impact of its activities and spread the culture of quality and long-lasting
construction, by working on the entire product life cycle and putting the
well-being of the planet and people at the centre of business activities.
Acting effectively to produce less and less waste and limit the exploitation
of resources is one of the main challenges of this millennium: at Mapei
we address it by paying particular attention to using recycled materials in
products and their formulation, as well as in packaging.
This requires study, a constant commitment to research and, above all, the
conviction that change is possible. At Mapei this awareness is strong and we
are proud of the awards our work has achieved in the field of sustainability.
It is always important to remember that behind all the activities and successes of the great "Mapei Family" are people who work with passion and dedication every day: it is thanks to them that the company now stands out on the market for its quality and expertise. Our sincere thanks go to the team, which in 2021 consisted of over 11,000 employees worldwide and contributed to a turnover of €3.3 billion. In these two years of the pandemic we have tried to keep mutual collaboration and support alive, ensuring that everyone can return to work in complete peace of mind and compliance with the corresponding safety measures, while agile work partially continues.
Care for people and their personal and professional growth are central elements of the Group’s corporate policy. For this reason, we resumed training activities partly interrupted by Covid-19 as soon as possible. Likewise, as production resumed the hiring rate also grew again, with new young talent joining the company.Corporate CEOs
