Environmental Thesis

Civil infrastructures are responsible for approximately 5% of global emissions, or approx. 2.5Gt CO2. While heating and cooling are the main responsible for emissions in buildings, building materials are responsible for 50-60% of emissions in infrastructures. As a result also of climate change, registered natural disasters have doubled over the last 40 years. Their dollar impact has grown 10 times and the industry will be required to develop new infrastructures able to resist this growing concern.
The market exhibits continuous growth, driven by several fundamental drivers including the growing share of urban population, the need for new infrastructure in developing markets, the upgrading of existing infrastructure in developed economies, and the increasing impact of climate-related hazards.
Against this backdrop, Maccaferri plays a key role as a truly differentiated Environmental Engineering Solution provider, delivering a comprehensive product offering, which contributes to lowering the environmental footprint by between 30% and 90% compared to industry alternatives.
Based on preliminary estimates, the Group contributes to materials saved equivalent to the weight of approx. 700,000 SUVs and reducing CO2 emissions equivalent to the level of emissions absorbed by approx. 2 million trees.
