Sustainability with Meaning

Art arises from the need to observe the environment around us, recognizing its shapes, lights, colors, and harmony.That's why, with sensitivity and responsibility, we think about the future and strive daily to do more with less, always aiming to promote harmony between the economic, social, and environmental spheres.

With an environmental management system based on the ISO 14001 standard, our industrial units use the following tools to monitor environmental issues:

Solid waste management program through reuse, recycling, and co-processing, ensuring "zero landfill" in our industrial operations.

Treatment of generated liquid effluents through reuse in a closed circuit, with automated treatment and online quality management.

Heat recovery in the drying and firing stages.

Heat recovery from kiln chimneys for atomization of raw materials.

Treatment of atmospheric emissions from the process using cyclones, gas scrubbers, and bag filters.

Environmental risk management program.

Reuse of broken materials and sludge generated in the industrial process in the composition of ceramic tiles.

Environmental monitoring program (noise, atmospheric emissions, and water resources).

Supplier management program to comply with legal requirements.

Management of performance metrics and legal requirements applicable to environmental issues.

Carbon Balance: We employ technologies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the use of fossil fuels in our energy mix, in addition to pursuing the use of alternative energy sources and eco-efficiency in our production processes.

A program to offset 100% of packaging destined for end consumers, in partnership with Eureciclo, to comply with the National Solid Waste Policy.

Furthermore, we invest in raising awareness among our employees through educational campaigns and internal seminars. All of this attention to environmental parameters makes our company the only Brazilian company in the sector to practice sustainability with Floor Score and Indoor Air Quality certification, granted by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), contributing to LEED Compliance certification through the Ceusa and Portinari brands.
