MARAZZI + SUSTAINABILITY
A prosperous future rests on our ability to work with nature, not against it. Our dedication to sustainability is rooted in personal compassion, going beyond simple business. Innovative ethical practices, sustained focus on the future, and empathy for people and nature are defining markers of our commitment to sustainability.
Our Promise is to create beautiful tile responsibly. That means sustainability is at the core of what we do. Sustainability is about taking from our planet responsibly, making sure not to reduce its ability to provide for the future. Therefore, our promise is threefold. To cover all aspects of our business, we consider sustainability according to three pillars: Planet, People and Governance.
PLANET
We only have one planet. It’s up to us to make sure it can continue to provide for us. We take responsibility for our effect on the environment and have developed a clear strategy on how to tackle it.
2018 to present, we have reduced our carbon footprint by 17%*.
Over 99%
of our tile collections contain recycled or reclaimed materials.
Overall, we recover and reuse
84%
of all process wastewater generated in our manufacturing plants to make tile products.
North American facilities recover and reuse over
300 million pounds of recycled and/or reclaimed material per year.
Our measures have prevented over 125 million gallons of wastewater from entering local municipal water treatment facilities.
We've reduced our total energy consumption by 11%
at all sales service centers and distribution facilities since 2018.
* Protocol used to estimate emissions reductions or removal benefits: The protocol utilized to estimate emissions reductions or removal benefits is the GHG Protocol. The analysis includes electricity and natural gas consumption data from manufacturing locations for 2018 and 2023. The 2023 data includes on-site combined heat and power (CHP) data for 2023. For electricity-related carbon emissions, the regional eGrid emission factor (EF) was applied for both 2018 and 2023.
• Total CO2 2018 = CO2 emissions from Natural gas consumption+ CO2 emissions from Electricity consumption (Manual calculation)
• Total CO2 2023 = CO2 emissions from Natural gas consumption + CO2 emissions from Electricity consumption – CO2 emissions from Electricity Co-generation (Calculated in Resource Advisor)
