Sustainability stands as a fundamental pillar of Brembo's strategic vision, defining the very nature of its business practices. This commitment is highlighted annually by The Brembo Sustainability Awards, a competition that transcends a typical corporate challenge, serving instead as a profound reflection of the core principles underpinning the company’s global culture.


The latest edition of the Awards underscored a remarkable increase in global engagement. Almost 200 Brembo employees, representing facilities worldwide, submitted 81 projects. This rise in project submissions relative to previous years signals a growing sensitivity and awareness among collaborators regarding sustainability themes.

A Global Commitment in Action


The breadth of participation illustrates the worldwide importance of the initiative. Projects were nominated from a diverse range of countries, including Brazil, China, Italy, Mexico, Poland, the Czech Republic, India, and the USA.


The rigorous evaluation process was managed by a specialized jury with crucial input from a dedicated Task Force, ensuring that collective competencies were integrated to accurately assess the impact and viability of each submission.

 

 

Defining the Scope of Responsibility
 

The submitted projects were structured across eight core categories that collectively define the comprehensive framework of Brembo's sustainability efforts:

  • Energy Efficiency
  • Climate Change
  • Waste
  • Water
  • Workplace
  • Health and Safety
  • Community
  • Business Partner
  • Governance

The enthusiasm and quality of the unique candidates affirm that sustainability is fundamentally embedded within the operational and cultural ethos of the organization.

 

 

Recognizing Excellence
 

Following the analysis of the core categories, the Awards celebrated excellence through two special mentions, designed to recognize the philosophy and approach behind the initiatives:

  • The EUREKA! Award: Designated for the best "original" idea, recognizing the most innovative and pioneering project that charts a new path for the company.
  • The EXECUTION & EVOLUTION Award: Acknowledging projects that successfully replicated an existing model from another plant, enhancing it with further optimizations and efficiencies rather than simply copying it.

 

 

A “Symphony of Sustainability”


The success of this initiative is not measured solely by numbers, but by the realization that sustainability is an objective achievable only through collective awareness. It is a true “Symphony of Sustainability”, where every individual action harmonizes to create a concrete, global impact.


In this context, a pivotal role is played by the Sustainability Ambassadors and Champions. These figures were established specifically to promote and root the culture of sustainability within the various plants around the world. Thanks to their daily dedication to raising awareness, the company's mandate to "think responsibly, act concretely" permeates every level of the organization, transforming individual commitment into a collective standard of excellence.
