Making it Better, the Semapa Group's manifesto

21 June 2024 marks Semapa’s 33rd anniversary. We take this opportunity to share the Making it Better Manifesto, which seeks to reinforce our purpose: Creating a positive impact on people, communities, and the planet. Making it Better defines the essence of Semapa’s approach: focus on people and the best possible performance. Always with optimism, determination, ingenuity, and integrity towards the future.

Making it Better

At Semapa, we’ve always had bias towards action and an impulse to improve.

And what we did was never more important

than how we did it.

With optimism and ambition.

With ingenuity and honor.

With people and performance at the center.

Leveraging our entrepreneurial legacy and the shared values inherited from our founding family, we acquired and built industrial businesses that matter. With patience and conviction, we made made good companies great, aligning collective interests for shared rewards.

Over the past 30 years, we innovated for impact.

Making raw materials into celebrated products.

Making waste into renewable energy.

Making complex manufacturing more efficient
and productive.

Making industries cleaner and more circular.

Because making it better is what we do at our core.

We do this work with a deep commitment to our people.
We lead with empathy and aspiration, creating purpose-driven cultures that challenge individuals and teams to do their best work. Unleashing their creativity to innovate for bolder outcomes.

Now, as we enter a new chapter, our vision is clear:

To actively build future-driven companies committed
to creating better solutions and stronger societies,
and an enduring future for all.

And to achieve these ambitions,

we will seize opportunities at home and abroad

to take businesses of a relevant size

to a new standard and new markets—igniting

the promise and potential in our teams to create sustainable value and superior returns.

Our commitment goes beyond capital.

We fund and fuel businesses to grow—
eagerly bringing tailored support to help others
go further, faster.

We collaborate with humanity and humility—
catalyzing curious and imaginative people to
transform industries and markets.

We leverage our group—

sharing knowledge and acting collectively

to improve each other’s capabilities and resources.

And we invest in and for the long-term—

because success today only matters if
we are all here tomorrow.

This type of approach has never been more needed
to make the world—people and communities,

businesses and the environment—better.

Let’s make it better together.
