Our People

The more than 11,000 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.

For Brembo safety does not mean just ensuring its braking systems’ reliability; it is also about promoting the value of safety across all its manufacturing sites. A principle that is reiterated through organised management of workplace health and safety aspects, capable of meeting the needs of all interested parties.

Our Supply Chain

The Group relies on the contribution of more than 6,000 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.

Production Process

Brembo’s capacity to innovate and exploit its own expertise as a strategic lever for maintaining its technological and commercial leadership at global level can also be gauged by the patents filed by the Group over time.

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 involvement and more than 20 years of rening the Brembo Project Development System 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.

This result in reducing emissions of CO2 was achieved thanks to energy efficiency-boosting projects and to the implementation of renewable energy solutions.

When choosing energy sources, Brembo always favours renewable energy over fossil fuels, and is working towards this through the installation of photovoltaic panels, thereby progressively reducing its energy consumption.

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.

To tackle Covid-19, Brembo decided to support research by donating at the end of March €1 million to three leading Bergamo institutions which stood out in fighting against Coronavirus in one among the areas most severely affected by the pandemic.
