MRV: Strategic Management of SDGs

Transformation starts at home

MRV is a reference in strategically managing the Sustainable Development Goals, with impacts in nearly all 17 SDGs.

For us, each of them has relevance, whether directly or indirectly, primarily or secondarily. But the impacts closely connected with our sector’s sustainability challenges are dealt with through particularly assertive and purposeful management.

By conducting positive and negative impact studies, and assessing our activities, projects, programs, and actions, through research, benchmarking, and in-depth interviews with MRV’s leaders and CEOs, we have identified which SDGs relate to the Group’s business model to maximize the impact of our actions

MRV’s Priority SDGs

Visão 2030 MRV

Since 2019, the MRV 2030 Vision has been a guide for structuring our ESG strategies and proposing contributions to the sustainable development agenda. It is the result of a diagnosis and mapping process on the impacts of MRV’s activities and their correlation with the SDGs, based on our purpose and business vision and studies by the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA) on how the SDGs connect with the Brazilian reality.

The 2030 Vision is a long-term public commitment, and its cornerstone is transparency. The status of this commitment is annually updated with our stakeholders, considering the changes of such a fluid, and constantly-evolving global scenario. The 2021 review offers an even more structured proposal on the organization’s ability to respond to current sustainability challenges

MRV has incorporated the assessment of climate and environmental risks into its land acquisition processes to reduce the environmental impact of its developments and increase their resilience The project stage determines the potential social and environmental performance of a development, which makes it the most crucial step for achieving long-term results in the construction industry. Sustainable projects promote performance and eco-efficiency in the construction and use of real estate. All MRV suppliers must comply with labor rules and are encouraged to participate in education and environmental impact reduction programs. MRV also works with its suppliers to develop and incorporate innovations From the implementation of the construction site to the conclusion of developments, the environment, and the communities neighboring the company’s operations are impacted.
