EDILIANS Group: building sustainability
Shaping a sustainable future means working every day to build more eco-friendly solutions.
In particular, we are working to significantly reduce our carbon footprint through continuous improvement, innovation, and disruptive technologies.
Our goal?
To reduce direct carbon emissions per tonne of tiles produced by 30%.
This challenge drives every single one of our daily projects!
We control our environmental impact, by optimising our processes all along our value chain, to take only what is needed and limit our consumption of drinking water.
We reduce our manufacturing waste by recycling it or reintegrating it into the production process.
At Tejas Borja, 100% of manufacturing waste is recycled and reintegrated into the process.
We work to preserve the flora and fauna on our sites.
And because we firmly believe that another way of living on Earth is possible, we develop sustainable, innovative and respectful solutions for the future, designed to build the homes of tomorrow.
Edilians Group: local artisans
Shaping a sustainable future means capitalising on our unique local foundations and our unrivalled expertise in the unique nature of our regions.
Setting the standard for the virtuous development of our regions is anchored in our DNA and our history.
Every single day, we strive to maintain virtuous bonds between individuals and their regions.
Because we care about both people and the environment, we make it a point of honour to recruit our employees as close as possible to our sites.
75% or more of our employees hired for permanent jobs lived within 40 km of our factories in France in 2022.
Because we are attentive to our partners and the long-term future of their business, we support and advise our customers all the way to their work sites, in particular by contributing to training at the Edilians Academy.
Over 200 roofers are trained each year.
With our ancestral skill set, our dearest wish is to be involved in projects
that enhance the heritage of the regions where we are based.
The architectural new-build and renovation projects we support respect the specific technical and aesthetic characteristics of each region.
