Our Green Credentials Build Green Kerakoll

We would like to share our driven commitment to sustainable growth “There is no value in industrial success if there is no commitment to sustainable development.” Kerakoll has achieved excellent results, the best ever, actually – confirming and boosting all our projects. This achievement makes us proud, but most of all it makes us feel even more strongly, the responsibility to our people and the communities in which we operate. At such a time in history, when the war and the pandemic have reminded us of the fragility of both our personal and professional lives, we continue to believe in a new era of responsibility, based on the strength and courage to keep looking ahead.

This is why we, first among the companies in the sector, have chosen to become a Benefit Company! Our commitment to “do our part” clearly with determination, quality, well-being and safeguarding the environment have always been our guiding principles, our being a Benefit Company now requires an official commitment to pursuing goals that have a positive impact on society and the planet.

Proving once again that we are speaking out for a responsible business model that faces up to the challenges of today and works to safeguard the future wellbeing of the community and the environment. The world and its needs are changing rapidly. For us at Kerakoll, adapting to change or anticipating it, as is our style, does not only mean manufacturing the best products using the best technology, it means, more than anything else, doing it in a sustainable way, with the utmost attention to those who will come after us, acting simultaneously on several fronts: economic, environmental, social.

Sustainability has always been the moral compass that has shown us how we should do business, from the development of products for healthy buildings built in harmony with the environment, to packaging, from transport to services, to our community of associates, the constant search for quality is the guiding light for Kerakoll, for us, in order to achieve this goal, people and their involvement are the essential elements, thanks to our solutions and our services, we like to think that we can contribute to build better places to live; and we like to do this alongside people who share the same passion and philosophy for the excellence of things well done, be they professionals, craftsmen, firms or private clients.

Kerakoll’s commitment to combine business with the principles of social and environmental sustainability, every day with passion and dedication, determination and creativity, building solid foundations. We want to do this with what we believe to be the most effective resource to excel, both now and in the future: that is, having the best people from a moral and ethical standpoint, within a working environment that focuses on human relationships, based on mutual trust, support and respect.
