PARTNERSHIPS AND MEMBERSHIPS

Public and private institutions are converging towards the achievement of development results. The role of a multinational group like Maire Tecnimont is to facilitate

this convergence, leading to a shared responsibility for the achievement of the development

goals, in particular innovation, education and sustainable economic growth.

PROJECTS

CO2 to Olefins Research project

Milan Polytechnic, Italy This project aims to develop a new technology for producing high-value chemicals while exploiting CO2 as raw material. It will allow the use of the CO2 as a carbon feedstock, while re-

ducing carbon emissions and

CO2 footprint compared to conventional technologies.

Acceleration of Green initiatives

MIND, Milano, Italy The Maire Tecnimont Group is among the 10 founding companies of MIND (Milano Innovation District), a place where all ecosystem players – research institutes, companies, start-ups, incubators and accelerators – can

converge and select the best

opportunities, with the awareness that cross-pollination is a strategic development factor for the creation of synergies. As a partner, we work for the creation of an Open Innovation center in green technologies.

Energy Solutions for a Sustainable Environment

University of Milano-Bicocca, BHOS Renewable energy production, as well as water management and recycling in agriculture in the context of the circular economy, with a particular focus on climate change and environmental issues, have been at the center of the Baku Summer School 2019, with the support of our Group and the Italian Embassy in Baku.

Sponsored Chair in Open Innovation

LUISS Guido Carli University of Rome, Italy The new professorship was awarded to Professor Henry Chesbrough, Director of the Garwood Center for Corporate Innovation of the University of California at Berkeley and intellectual father of the “Open Innovation” concept, according to which companies not only

use internal resources but also utilise tools and technological skills that come from outside the organization.

VALORE D: A TANGIBLE PATH TO BUILD AN INCLUSIVE AND GENDER-EQUAL CULTURE

In December 2020, Maire Tecnimont joined the group, including over 200 Italian companies, which for over 10 years has been committed to gender equality and an inclusive culture in organizations and in our country. We are part of a network that aims to put People at the center, to contribute to an integrated approach with a long-term vision, in order to build value through the inclusion and promotion of diversity, as well as gender. Joining Valore D followed on from our signing up to the Women’s Empowerment Principles defined by UN Global Compact and UN Women, in July 2020, thus expressing our broad, strong and multi-level commitment to gender equality.

Study of thermodynamic behaviour of natural gas with low CO2 content

École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris, France The project aims to analyse the thermodynamic properties of natural gas with a particular focus on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production, which is expected to play a significant

role in the energy transition as a cleaner and lower-carbon fuel.

Support the education of local students

Baku Higher Oil School (BHOS), Azerbaijan The development programme, in its fourth edition, aims to refine participants’ technical

skills through the application of their knowledge in practi-

cal engineering cases, and has allowed students to become an integral part of the team of the Maire Tecnimont Group’s Azeri branch. Students are also provided with soft skill development and language courses.

ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIPS

Our Group is part of active collaboration agreements with several universities:

Campus Bio-Medico University – Italy: undergraduate cohorts

We also participate in technical working groups, thinktanks, and wide-ranging multi-stakeholder initiatives such as:

Clean Hydrogen Alliance

Multi-stakeholder initiative promoted by the European Commission aimed at promoting the diffusion of hydrogen technologies by 2030, as an enabler for the achievement of the objectives set by the European Green Deal.

Alleanza per l’Economia Circolare

The Alliance collects and disseminates knowledge on the circular economy with the ultimate goal of promoting true circularity and minimizing consumption all forms of materials.

Osservatorio per i Biolubrificanti

Multi-stakeholder working group that aims to collect technical and market data and information, identify best practices and analyse the environmental benefits associated with the use of biolubricants.

Plastics Working Group” , set up in the Lombardy Region as part of the Observatory, focused on the circular economy and the energy transition.

Ref Ricerche e WAS, two think-tanks dedicated to the development of innovative schemes for waste management and the implementation of the circular economy.

BUILDING RESPONSIBLY

In April 2020, Tecnimont joined Building Responsibly, a group of leading international engineering and construction companies that work together to promote the rights and well-being of workers throughout the sector. Our membership is a public commitment to promoting a focus on improving working conditions for construction site staff as one of the most important assets for an E&C company. This step will strengthen our daily commitment by taking it to a new level, allowing us to share skills and experience with stakeholders and sector players, raising awareness of how essential it is to build responsibly.
