Brembo is engaged in constantly transforming its operating model to be increasingly more focused on countering climate change, using water resources rationally and protecting the environment in all its forms. To give tangible form to its commitment to the environment, in recent years Brembo has developed an operating model based on increasingly strict, innovative requirements capable of anticipating future legislation, with the goal of continuing to create value for its stakeholders, by adopting solutions that minimise the environmental impact of its processes, thus ensuring industrial development balanced against respect for the environment everywhere the Group operates. Thanks to the steps it has taken, Brembo is certain that it will be able to ensure operating efficiency together with containment of emissions of climate-altering substances, while positively heeding the “call to action” from the international scientific community to fight against climate change, having embarked on a process of gradual transition to an increasingly “carbon-neutral” model. The energy use required for the functioning of the Group’s production facilities represents the main source of its greenhouse gas emissions. It is for this reason that Brembo actions in the environmental area are aimed at reducing polluting atmospheric emissions through a gradual transition to more efficient production processes, featuring reduced CO₂ eq emissions and an ever-increasing use of energy from renewable sources. The CO₂ eq emission reduction and energy efficiency objectives have been defined precisely based on these elements, which, as of 2018, form part of the performance assessment scheme for each of the Group‘s managers. This process is founded on creating a solid culture of sustainability within the Brembo community, as a fundamental tool for stimulating the creation of innovative ideas aimed at constantly reducing energy consumption, atmospheric emissions and use of water resources. In this way all employees are hence asked to make a daily contribution to achieving the business objectives defined by the Group for environmental protection. Brembo’s commitment also translates into an in-depth knowledge of the emissions generated by company’s operations. The identification and quantification of all the direct and indirect emission sources means that it is possible to identify the priority action areas for which specific objectives and improvement measures have to be defined. For this reason, Brembo has drawn up an internal procedure that describes the process of building the emissions inventory in all the Group’s factories and the data collection and processing process.
