Real commitment to the #environment, #people and the #planet across all five continents. https://buff.ly/3N4KykA The #Mapei Group is publishing its first global #Sustainability Report that includes all its fully consolidated subsidiaries. It provides an overview of Mapei’s activities and #initiatives in all the 57 countries in which it operates. A fundamental step along a virtuous path that began back in 2016 with the publication of the first Sustainability Report initially referring only to the Parent Company but then covering all the Italian subsidiaries over the subsequent four years. Last year, reporting was extended to cover the whole of Europe. In every country in which Mapei operates, it is actively committed to responsible growth supported by solid economic performances that have resulted in revenue reaching 4 billion in 2022. For the Group, sustainability is a distinctive feature and added value for its corporate governance model, which manages to integrate #environmental, #social and #economic elements in a synergic and virtuous way. Mapei's 2022 Sustainability Report is drawn up in accordance with the latest 2021 GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Sustainability Reporting Standards and aims to study and analyse key aspects related to social, environmental and economic issues. Veronica Squinzi, CEO of the Mapei Group, stated that: "In 2022 we celebrated the important milestone of 85 years in business with a statement of intent: "We are building a present designed to have future" in the belief that only by working hard today can we lay the foundations to ensure a future for people and the planet. This seventh edition of the Sustainability Report reasserts our commitment to invest in growing responsibly: embracing the circular economy, paying attention to people's wellbeing and the need for social inclusion and adopting technologies that integrate and enhance human capabilities".

𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐢 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤! 🌱   One of the events under the Nordics for Climate Action Collaboration during Shanghai Climate week is our upcoming roundtable session on Circular Economy. Representatives from Denmark, Finland, and Norway will delve into Circular Economy practices from a Sino-Nordic perspective. With our planet facing challenges like dwindling raw material supplies and staggering waste production, Circular Economy principles have never been more crucial. By prioritizing efficiency and sustainability from the stage of product design, we can limit energy and resource consumption significantly. Recycling raw materials mitigates supply risks, addresses environmental concerns and offers economic benefits. Circular Economy fosters competitiveness, spurs innovation, drives economic growth, and creates employment opportunities - all while aligning with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Fun Fact: According to a model calculation, water consumption for toilet flushes have fallen by 80% per person per day since the 1950s. The assumption is that one person uses the toilet 5 times a day and actuates the full flush once and the small flush four times. In the 1950s water consumption was 14 litres per flush (70 litres per person per day). Today a thorough flush is possible with just 4 litres for the full flush and 2.6 litres for the small/partial flush (14 litres per person per day). Sounds to me like we are saving the world 1 toilet at a time. #Geberit #GeberitSouthernAfrica #Sustainability
