The excellence of our products and our entire production cycle is due to an environmental sustainability policy built up over time. We are the mouthpiece for an industry able to limit consumption of natural resources and environmental impact, through the restoration of quarries’ landscape and vegetation, controlled waste management and the recycling of industrial wastewater.
Our commitment contributes to making the ceramics industry a closed production cycle, using energy sources and raw materials with greater awareness, favouring circular use of materials, recycling packaging and recovering waste and scraps.
We use aesthetics, technology and innovation to design the ceramic tiles people want. We design our new products keeping in mind new living trends and requirements to ensure the health and safety of those who manufacture them and those who use them.
Our commitment for the environment is summed up in a single number which represents our ultimate sustainability goal: 100%.

A key part of environmental sustainability is correct use of resources. By optimising consumption and recirculating the energy produced by our plants, we reduce our environmental impact.
For NOA* architecture firm, sustainability means not just designing an energy-efficient building but also, and above all, careful consideration of links to the surrounding environment and community, the choice of materials and suppliers. We asked Barbara Runggatscher, Partner and Head of Interior Design at the South Tyrolean firm, to tell us more.
The three pillars of ESG work in synergy, and the real estate industry, which for many years has focused on environmental impact mitigation and governance strategies, is also trying to make strides on social strategies with the help of big data.

As part of its The Open Circle project, the company is publishing the thoughts of Mario Cucinella, founder and creative director of Mario Cucinella Architects, on the need to restore our dialogue with nature, weakened by the overriding belief in continual technology-based evolution. He underlines the need for architecture which uses more intelligent, hybrid materials, a large proportion of them of natural origin and with lower environmental impact.
Today sees the launch of an in-depth area on the website and an internal ESG information and engagement campaign is already underway. For the company, the sustainability challenge is a project that must be shared with its employees and production chains. We discuss this with the company's CEO Mauro Vandini.
Companies derive about 90% of their carbon footprint from the things they buy, meaning from the supply chain. We’re facing a revolutionary change in approach, with sustainability being generated in the supply chain. This new strategy also involves training and communication, fundamental for engagement with businesses’ internal and external stakeholders. We discussed this with Federico Brugnoli, founder and CEO of sustainability consulting company on Spin 360, which is assisting the Group in an in-house training programme.
A focus on the people who work for us, safety in the workplace and respect for the communities in which we operate are the foundations of our social sustainability policy.
A path paved with initiatives aiming to promote the growth and wellbeing of our employees and all personnel involved in our development journey.
We invest in training and development programmes designed to grow the professionalism of our employees and our partners, together.
Our commitment to creating a work environment which is safe, inclusive and open to the contribution of all is measured in hours of training, constant safety assessments of the production systems and products, and employee health and wellbeing checks

Training
Health
The safety devices and dedicated training programs guarantee a safe work environment for employees. Our products comply with the highest quality standards and are safe for people, animals and the environment because they do not contain harmful substances.
In order to guarantee the commitments we have made over time and thus build a better future for people, the planet and the company, we have set ourselves rules and tools which shape and embody our vision of sustainability.
To pursue the objectives of environmental, social and governance sustainability, we have set ourselves rules that we also ask our partners and suppliers to respect.
The results of our commitment are communicated and made available to everyone.
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond products and processes: it is the way we put ourselves to the test to improve each and every day, the way in which we take decisions, how we reinvest in our employees and our planet, and how we establish what counts by setting rules for ourselves.

What are the tools for constructing a building with low environmental impact? Materials (natural, recycled and recyclable), systems, and above all the design not only of the building but also of its overall life cycle. And impact assessment starts from the production of construction materials, which requires standards and certifications.
By focusing on environmental, social and governance sustainability, Italian ceramics companies promote change that benefits people.
