Sport and Sustainability

Sport and Sustainability

In many ways, sport helps to build sustainable environments. The nature of the sport itself promotes mental-physical health and well-being and encourages the social and educational value of sport as a pastime. Sport has the power to bring people together both as athletes, participants, spectators, and supporters. It creates a space of sociability that encourages environmental and cultural sustainability, active and resilient communities, and the need for healthy living and working indoor and outdoor environments.

A passion for the sport has always been a part of Mapei’s history and is engrained in the company culture.

Mapei has been very closely tied to cycling since the early 1990s when they sponsored one of the worlds’ top-ranking professional cycling teams. Since then they have been the main sponsor of the UCI (International Cycling Union) Road World Championships, of Italy’s Sassuolo football team, and involved in extensive renovations of Sassuolo football stadium; The Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore, providing technical expertise and innovative solutions.

Sport is becoming increasingly characterized by the relationship between the actual performance of athletes and the structures in which athletes perform. The quality of a pitch, swimming pool, or court is fundamental in defining the excellence of such structures. This is why Mapei, backed by its wealth of experience, dedicates the utmost attention to sport and technology for sports facilities.

Sustainability is always at the focus of Mapei’s manufacturing and business system. Investing heavily in Research & Development, most of Mapei’s efforts are focused on developing eco-sustainable products that aim to minimize the environmental impact during product manufacturing, packing, usage, and disposal, and prioritize the health of end-users and installers.

Mapei promotes environmental sustainability through products that are built to last. Designed to withstand harsh environments and extreme weather conditions, Mapei has developed a range of versatile and reliable products for Sports Surfaces, which offer both technical and performance efficiency, and excellent aesthetic qualities.
