Environmental footprint

One of our commitments is to promote awareness of the principles of a new energy culture based on responsible energy use and management. We are committed to energy saving and efficiency as a green growth instrument based on a low-carbon economy.

Contributing to decreasing the greenhouse gas emissions that we generate when conducting our business is a key element of our actions concerning environmental responsibility.

We determine, quantify and evaluate the carbon footprint left by our activities: their consolidated GHG carbon footprint, including both direct emissions associated with activities that are controlled by the organization as well as indirect emissions that, although not generated in sources controlled by the company, are the result of such activities.

The GHG emissions data for the years 2019, 2020 have been recalculated, adapting them to the Group’s carbon footprint calculation methodology.

In the design, construction and renovation of our buildings and facilities, we opt for constructive solutions with less impact on the environment, and ones that meet the strictest quality standards with regard to sustainable construction.

Transport is one of the main contributors to global warming, so we offer our employees services to promote sustainable mobility measures by seeking alternatives to the use of private vehicles.

These measures include shuttle services to the main connection points for employees, bicycle parking, electric vehicle rental services for employees, charging stations for ECO vehicles and a video conferencing system to limit air travel.

Thanks to increased global awareness and initiatives of this kind, there has been a change in MAPFRE Group employees’ forms of travel, which has enabled an improvement in the transport mix used by employees in recent years.

The shuttle service is currently in place in the following countries: Argentina, Spain, Guatemala, Honduras, Portugal, Perú, Portugal, Puerto Rico and Turkey.

In Spain alone, due to the need to adapt to flexible hours, bus service for employees increased by 200% in 2019.

MAPFRE has provided dedicated bike parking areas in some buildings in Spain as a measure to encourage people to cycle to work, with this mode of transport rising by 40 percent over the last couple of years.

In addition, MAPFRE offers employees an electric vehicle rental service and also installs charging stations at home through the Multimap Area. In line with this initiative, MAPFRE has installed 46 charging stations at its company headquarters, which has resulted in an 81 percent increase in the number of employees using green vehicles in Spain over the past years.

“Environmental data for 2021 covers 26 countries, which equates to 99.27 percent of the premiums managed and 96.60 percent of the company’s employees.”
