Datamars has been measuring their GHG footprint annually since 2020, helping them understand their impact, guide investment and track progress. We are delighted to shout out Datamars’ Head of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Teresa Steele-Rika, for her leadership and the significant strides taken as a result of her and the wider teams’ efforts, across Datamars sites. Over the past four years, Datamars has seen substantial reductions in direct GHG emissions – whilst the business and production volumes have continued to grow. 🔍📉 YoY reductions on total Scope 1, 2, 3* GHG emissions from base year (2020): 2021: 5% reduction against base year 2022: 10% reduction against base year 2023: 38% reduction against base year ♻ Change in action at the Datamars production sites: It is with great pride that we share that the team in Datamars Thailand, one of the company’s largest sites, has successfully reduced their waste output as a percentage of production and dramatically increased reuse and recycling rates. The percent of waste recycled increased 65% between 2020 and 2023, by establishing institutionalised waste sorting, reuse and recycling programs supported by best practice ISO14001 environmental management frameworks. As a result, emissions generated from the disposal of waste have decreased by over 80% since 2020. Achievements to date: 🔹 YoY reductions on total Scope 1, 2, 3 GHG emissions, with a 38% reduction against base year in 2023. 🔹 Datamars Thailand achieved ISO14001 (Environmental Management Systems) certification in 2021 and ISO50001 (Energy Management) certification in 2023. 🔹 Datamars Spain, the first major site to become ISO14001 certified in 2017, also became Datamars’ first major operational site to reach zero waste to landfill. 🔹 Datamars Slovakia and Switzerland achieved ISO 14001 certification in 2018. A huge thanks and recognition to the work of the Datamars team, Daniele Della Libera + Kees van der Drift, their ESG Steering Committee and especially the teams within the operational hubs of Datamars around the world. Also thanks to Ensphere Group Ltd for their support and guidance in measurement and reporting and the team at Manglai for their work in helping to advance data capture and analysis. [*Note: The boundary of Scope 3 emissions for the above calculations was emissions generated from waste through operations and on-site water use. Wider scope 3 emissions currently being captured as part of ongoing work to complete a full scope 3 GHG inventory includes transportation and distribution, packaging and employee commuting..] Gabriele Mariani Jaime Bachs Lobo Datamars Livestock Datamars Textile ID #GHGEmissions #WasteMitigation #SustainabilityJourney

🎨 Innovative B2C Marketing for an Aging Generation 📱 We are proud to highlight how our portfolio company, Over, is differentiating itself in the Italian senior living sector with its unique marketing strategies. In a country with the second oldest population in the world, Over is setting the standard for creative, educational, and empathetic B2C marketing. 💡 How they are doing it: - Sound Identity: Over has introduced a new sound identity, the first of its kind in Italy, designed to resonate with seniors and evoke a sense of familiarity and comfort. - Anecdotal Stories: Their marketing strategy includes heartfelt anecdotal stories, bringing to life the experiences of residents in their senior living facilities. This personal touch maintains a deep emotional connection with the audience – whether potential residents or their families. 💬💪 “Marketing to an older generation requires creativity. We are dedicated to creating content that speaks to their experiences and needs,” says Ilaria Valentinuzzi, Head of Marketing and Communications at Over Group. “Our facilities are a safe space for residents, built to empower them to enjoy this chapter of their lives.” Over’s marketing team has been instrumental in growing the business and positioning it as a leader in the industry. Their innovative strategic approach is not just about attracting new residents, but also enriching their lives with meaningful and engaging content.
