Introduction

The environmental pillar is paramount for MRV&CO, and it helps us make sure our companies will be recognized not only for the quality of their deliveries but also for their efforts to reduce our impacts on nature.

Great impact. Great challenges. Great actions.

The impact of the construction industry on the environment is unquestionable

– especially when analyzing all the stages in the production chain, from land selection and project design to the choice of suppliers, the production process, and the lifespan of the products.

In environmental terms, our governance

is now mature and consolidated.

Not by chance, one of our material issues, unanimously selected by our stakeholders, is

Sustainable Construction.

MRV&CO has internal certifications to ensure the sustainability of its processes and products: the MRV + Verde and the Obra Verde. These seals are audited and based on rigorous criteria and specific objectives certifying the developments that meet the requirements by adopting the best practices.

The MRV + Verde seal

encompasses strategies that bring environmental benefits to the use and occupation of buildings. The Obra Verde seal certifies compliance with management processes on construction sites aiming at reducing environmental impact.

Since the environmental agenda is a priority for MRV&CO, our efforts are focused on one of the most complex

and challenging global agenda:

climate change.

We started 2021 by showing MRV’s endeavor to become a reference in the global climate agenda: in an unprecedented commitment with other companies in the construction industry, we signed an agreement with SBTi (Science Based Targets Initiative)

to adopt targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GEE).

SBTi is supported by the CDP, the Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). This commitment reflects the top leadership’s

ESG focal points, reiterating our maturity in this issue and the search for public and measurable

goals to reduce emissions that

add to internal regulations to

manage GEE emissions – Climate Change Policy, Carbon Management Plan, Sustainability Strategy, and Sustainability Risks and Opportunities Matrix.

In practical terms, as a signatory to SBTi, MRV has set out targets for its products and processes to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. The goal is to minimize the impacts of climate change and contribute directly to the goals set out by the Paris Agreement
