Performance

Technical innovation and sustainable performance are two sides of the same coin, combined with our commitment to constant dialogue with trade associations and institutions. We can thus align our progress with a wider and shared policy of sustainability, and involve the communities of which we are part in our vision.
Universities and Research Institutes
We hold Marazzi Day in partnership with Unimore, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia: this is a day in the company with students from the Master’s Degree in International Management, which incorporates a visit to the plant, discussion with our managers and a lecture on the ceramics sector.
Students from the Postgraduate Course in Ceramics Technology and Business, created in partnership between the Universities of Modena – Reggio Emilia and Bologna, and the Confindustria Ceramica and Federchimica Ceramicolor trade associations, enjoy similar activities.
For graduating students in the Ceramic Materials Engineering Course, we hold lectures in marketing topics.
Ceramics of Italy for Sustainability
The “Ceramics of Italy for Sustainability” program by Confindustria Ceramica, launched in 2020, promotes the environmental and social sustainability of the Italian ceramic industry. It involves European stakeholders and is divided into five phases, analyzing institutional communication, international benchmarks, and stakeholder perceptions. The project is organized in collaboration with Focus Lab and supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ICE (Italian Trade Agency). The five phases include the analysis of institutional communication, sustainability reports of competing materials, perceptions of international stakeholders, international sustainability benchmarks, and the formulation of a strategic communication and promotion plan.
Additionally, the program highlights the strengths of the Italian ceramic industry, such as Italian design, durability, multifunctionality, and compliance with sustainable building standards (LEED and Well credits).
