Sustainable Development
Our commitment to sustainable development
GSI ceramics has always had the utmost respect for its surroundings and for those who make a daily contribution to the company’s growth and development, working with commitment, perseverance and honesty.
GSI believes in innovation, because it knows that cutting-edge technology improves product quality. Above all, we are aware that without the human factor, i.e. without the heart, head and hands of those who go into the factory every day, there is no technology that could give real shape and substance to a project.
In an area rich in history, cradle of the ancient Faliscan civilisation, in a landscape that is gentle yet rugged, GSI carries out its activities and seeks the best formula for coexistence with the environment, seeking to minimise its impact and contribute to improving the conditions of the site it stands on.
Measuring environmental impact is the first step towards sustainable management.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
For GSI Ceramica, sustainability is grounded in measurable and verifiable data.
For this reason, the company has adopted the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), an internationally recognised environmental product declaration, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and verified by independent third-party bodies.
The EPD makes it possible to assess and transparently communicate the environmental impact of products, from the selection of raw materials to production processes, through to potential end-of-life stages.
A concrete tool that reflects GSI’s focus on monitoring consumption, reducing waste, and adopting an increasingly efficient and responsible production approach.
This commitment, founded on the measurement and transparency of environmental performance, has progressively evolved into a broader vision of sustainable development, which today is reflected in the process of alignment with international ESG standards – Environmental, Social and Governance.
Respect for the environment, social wellbeing and optimal business management processes, with a medium- to long-term perspective, are the key focus areas defined to build a future based on development, as well as on relationships and coexistence with the ecosystem, for a company that is entirely made in Italy.
Thanks to this commitment, GSI has obtained certification of its Sustainability Management System in compliance with:
Water use efficiency
Great focus has been placed on reducing water consumption, not only in production processes but also when creating optimal performance products, using technologies that also help end users to reduce their consumption levels.
Our packaging
GSI is also committed to searching for the best raw materials for its packaging, preferring materials that come from recycled sources and have the lowest possible impact.
In an effort to minimise the impact of its products, GSI always tries to use recyclable materials, as part of a more general effort to reduce waste and make a more efficient use of resources.
