LEM sustainability pillars
At LEM, we believe that doing business means respecting the well-being of people and the environment.
This commitment guides every decision we make, from the design of production processes to the adoption of innovative solutions that reduce our ecological impact. In 2023 we embarked on a journey that led us to define our first sustainability strategy, a structured commitment around three fundamental pillars: Origin, Community and Future.
Origin
Origin not only represents awareness of our roots, respect for natural resources and the responsibility to preserve them, but also represents our past and reminds us where we come from and where we want to stay.
Community
The community represents the collective of people, skills, and relationships that bring our vision to life, transforming shared values into tangible actions that positively impact our environment and reflect our love for our local area.
Future
The future is the synthesis of strategic choices and innovation, a path built with method and long-term vision in which we place our goals. It represents the temporal factor on which the very concept of sustainability is based, it is the world we leave to future generations.
In line with the 2030 Agenda goals
LEM is committed to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with initiatives that promote clean energy, decent work, industrial innovation and responsible production. Through strategic choices and targeted investments, we contribute to building a more sustainable future for our sector and for future generations.
