Summary sheet
Financing of Mapei's research, development and innovation (RDI) activities in the areas of of adhesives and chemical products for building
The project centres on three main areas: (i) product portfolio maintenance, (ii) development of new products and (iii) development of environmentally friendly products to anticipate the legislative requirements.
The project is expected to be carried out in already authorised research and development (R&D) facilities that will not change their scope due to the project. The need for an environmental impact assessment (EIA) in accordance with Directive 2011/92/EU is therefore unlikely. The Bank’s services will review the environmental aspects of the project during the due diligence process.
The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting entity, thus not subject to EU rules on public procurement.
