Each tree is vital for the planet and an important resource for humanity, symbolizing rebirth and the future.
The Brembo Group has created the first Brembo Forest in Kenya, in the Lake Victoria region, donating a tree to each employee. This forest, in addition to being a symbol of commitment to the future, contributes to achieving the 10 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by involving local communities in its management and care.
Brembo understands the importance of sustainability: by planting trees in Africa, we contribute to reforestation initiatives that may support CO₂ absorption over the long term while also promoting biodiversity and supporting local communities. In fact, about 1,300 farmers are involved in the management and care of the forest from the very beginning of planting. This project not only helps the environment but also the people living nearby.
*Total CO₂ absorption is an estimate provided by Treedom and amounts to approximately 7,000 tonnes over a 10-year period.
“This forestry project demonstrates that through cooperation between different entities, sustainable growth is an achievable goal,” said Cristina Bombassei, Chief Legacy Officer of Brembo. “At Brembo, we have a strong sustainability culture, which is reflected in the rational use of resources, the recovery and recycling of materials, initiatives aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our activities, and the development of solutions designed to progressively enhance environmental performance. The forest becomes part of this global commitment, through which we have embraced the United Nations’ call, which encourages not only governments and individuals but also companies to play an active role in the fight against climate change."
The Brembo Forest is a concrete example of how the company is working to achieve this ambitious goal, involving not only its employees but also the global community in this sustainability journey.
