Governance

At Brembo, we have established a dedicated sustainability governance structure to integrate sustainability into our business practices and guide our long term commitment to responsible growth.

Key Roles:

• Chief Sustainability & Risk Officer (CSRO): oversees sustainability strategy, initiatives, and sustainability reporting;
• Task Force: a cross-functional team supporting the CSRO and Sustainability Team in analyzing sustainability topics and collecting data;
• Sustainability Committee: composed of top management leaders of the main company functions, it sets sustainability guidelines, validating reporting, and overseeing stakeholder engagement and sustainability risks;
• Audit, Risk & Sustainability Committee: Board-level committee proving guidance on sustainability policies and risks, monitoring best practices, and reviewing sustainability disclosures;
• Sustainability Ambassadors & Champions: representatives across global plants promoting sustainability awareness and supporting local initiatives.

We ensure that sustainability is deeply embedded in our global activities, reinforcing our commitment to responsible growth and supporting the creation of long term value. Learn more from our Sustainability Report.

At Brembo, we have integrated sustainability into our risk management framework through a Double Materiality Analysis (DMA), conducted in line with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

Key Features:

• Designed to identify and assess material sustainability topics by mapping impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) across environmental, social and governance areas;
• Based on a dual perspective that evaluates Brembo’s impacts on people and the environment (impact materiality) as well as sustainability related risks and opportunities with potential financial effects on the Group (financial materiality);
• Built upon Brembo’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and stakeholder engagement activities;
• Supported by dedicated analyses, including the Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) and peer benchmarking.

Through this integrated approach, we incorporated sustainability related risks and opportunities into our strategic decisions, strengthening resilience, long term value creation and alignment with stakeholders’ expectations. Learn more from our Sustainability Report and Stakeholder Engagement Policy. 

As part of our culture, we believe that transparent, ethical and compliant conduct is essential to ensuring the proper management of our activities, going beyond legal requirements to also consider stakeholders’ expectations. We have implemented an integrated compliance system, applicable across the entire Group (Brembo Corporate and Compliance Tools), to ensure high ethical standards in business conduct and fair operating practices.

Key Tools:

We aimed to prevent, manage and mitigate risks related to business conduct, while ensuring high ethical standards and the continuous improvement of our operating practices with a zero-tolerance vision approach. Learn more from our Sustainability Report and Corporate Governance Section.

At Brembo, we are committed to ensuring continuous oversight of sustainability compliance, across all our operations by the implementation of several monitoring tools.
