Sustainability
Sustainability is a priority in all our operations and strategic decisions at the Galrão Group. Committed to balancing the responsible use of natural resources with environmental protection, we focus on reducing our ecological footprint at every stage of our production process.
Renewable Energy and Sustainable Mobility
We have invested in solar panel installations at our two factories, ensuring that a significant proportion of the energy used comes from renewable sources. It is projected that 45% of the energy consumed at the Pêro Pinheiro plant and 35% at the Monção plant will be generated by these installations. Our commitment to sustainability also extends to mobility, with the gradual introduction of electric vehicles into our fleet, reducing emissions of harmful gases.
Efficient Water Management
With an investment of €430,000 in the construction of a Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) and an internal water reuse circuit, we are enhancing the efficiency of our water resource management. This initiative allows us to recycle water used in production processes, reducing waste and reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.
Circular Economy: STOME
Respect for the environment goes hand in hand with innovation. Guided by this principle, we created STOME to transform natural stone waste from our quarries into a model of circular economy. Leveraging 70 years of experience, technology, and creativity, STOME offers unique patterns that adapt to various spaces, promoting resource reuse and sustainability in interior design.
