MAPEI offers something for every sector of the building industry, and sustainability is integrated into all our product lines. MAPEI prioritizes creating materials that contribute to a healthier, more sustainable and equitable future, and encourages using building materials that positively impact human health, social health and equity, ecosystems, climate and circularity. These five principles form the foundation of MAPEI, guiding customers to make informed and responsible material choices.
This means considering the environmental impact of materials, their carbon footprint and their potential for recycling or reuse. It also means promoting social equity by choosing materials that are ethically sourced and manufactured, supporting fair labor practices and community well-being. Moreover, MAPEI’s commitment to sustainability emphasizes the importance of selecting materials that contribute to reducing our impacts on human health and the environment.
