The KME Group has embraced the concept of social responsibility, and is fully committed to environmental, safety and philanthropic themes, as well as adopting quality system certification.
Environmental protection
KME has an ongoing commitment to the environment : not only has it instituted environmental policies for the group as a whole and its individual plants which are fully compliant with EU standards, but in recent years it has launched a number of concrete initiatives.
Quality management

KME’s philanthropic commitment
KME supports and hosts on its own property the first Italian branch of the international association Hole in the Wall Camps, which organises summer camps for children affected by serious and chronic illnesses.
KME and art
... a relationship that goes a long way back in time: over the years our group has sponsored the restoration of important works of art such as the equestrian statue of Cosimo I de’ Medici (piazza della Signoria, Florence), the bronze sculpture of the Dancing Satyr attributed to Praxiteles, the statue of the Capitoline Wolf (in Rome),
the Gilded Bronzes from Cartoceto of Pergola (including the production of two exact copies of the equestrian statue of Nero Caesar) and Casa Zuccari, which houses the Deutsche Kunst Institut in Florence.
This year we have decided to sponsor an exhibition of sculpture by the Florentine artist Alessandro Reggioli, which opened on 22nd September at Certaldo Alto, in the heart of the Tuscan hills.
The sculptures were created using KME brass sheets produced at Fornaci di Barga, supplied to the artist for his works.
THE DYNAMO ASSOCIATION
KME has made a significant contribution to the opening of the first Italian Dynamo Camp, managed by the “Fondazione Dynamo”.
RENEWABLE ENERGIES
KME is seriously committed to R&D and promotion in the area of renewable energy and has established the GreenergyCapital company to handle its activities in this sector.
INNOVATION CONTINUES
KME is always committed to product and process innovation, in close partnership with its major users, thus offering its clients its "copper based solutions".
