Our People

The more than 10,600 people who work for Brembo every day with dedication and passion represent the company’s strategic wealth. Their knowledge and skills are the real competitive advantage behind the Group’s ability to innovate and pursue excellence when manufacturing all its products.

For Brembo, being able to rely on competent trained people means having the measure of the value that each employee personally contributes to achieving the common goals.

The strong focus on health and safety in the workplace, and the systematic approach adopted for their management, allowed the Group to record a general decrease in accident rates compared to the previous year.

Our Supply Chain

The Group relies on the contribution of more than 5,300 businesses located in more than 16 countries throughout the world to carry out its own activities. These provide essential goods and services for Brembo’s industrial processes.

Brembo pursues a strategy of international development centred upon the local area and the commitment to establish stable relations with local communities.

Over the years the Group has defined a structured process for managing suppliers that allows Brembo to develop strategic relations with a supply chain focused on continual innovation, quality improvement and sustainability.

Products and Processes

Brembo’s capacity to achieve significant results in all areas where the Group is committed to product and process innovation is the result of people and more than 19 years of refining the methodology.

To ensure maximum safety and quality of its products, Brembo adopts a preventive and proactive approach enabling the company to anticipate any problems and criticalities along the entire production cycle and take preventive correction measures.

Environment

The Group seeks energy efficiency and rational use of energy in its own production processes. These activities are fundamental for achieving the targets that Brembo has set itself regarding the reduction in CO2 emissions in all the production plants.

The result of the effort to reduce CO2 emissions was achieved, despite the increase in production volumes, thanks to energy efficiency-boosting projects and to the implementation of renewable energy solutions.

The focal point of Brembo’s commitment in the environmental field concerns an ever-increasing use of energy from renewable sources.

Brembo has developed and maintains an up-to-date Environmental Management System based on the ISO 14001 standard. The Group voluntarily submits its system for periodical assessments by independent third-party organisations to ensure its full compliance with international standards.

Local Areas

For more than 50 years, Brembo has contributed directly and indirectly to the economic development of the local areas and numerous communities around the world, which the Group has joined during its expansion at global level.

Further sign of Brembo’s commitment to developing an organisation that is as multicultural and as aware of local issues as possible, as well as deeply-rooted on the local territory, starting with the managerial team, is that the clear majority of local managers at all Group Companies comes from the local area.

Over the years, Brembo has established close ties to the local areas where it is present, paying attention to the needs they express, and defining a path of joint development and growth, which leads the Group to provide tangible support to numerous projects and initiatives in favour of local communities.
