Since 1969, Atlas Concorde has prioritized technological innovation, product research, and environmental respect, embedding sustainability into its core values. The company's responsible approach, validated by international certifications, consistently surpasses industry standards. Atlas Concorde implements energy cogeneration and comprehensive resource recycling, minimizing environmental impact while maximizing production efficiency. Notably, in 2024, they achieved SMETA 4 Pillar audit success and Sedex membership, reinforcing their dedication to ethical practices and sustainability.
Atlas Concorde's commitment to environmental stewardship is evident in its production processes: 100% of fired and raw product waste is recovered, 90% of waste is recycled, and process water recovery is total. Packaging is 100% recyclable, comprising 80% recycled materials. The manufacturing plant utilizes self-generated energy, heat recovery from industrial furnaces, and a cogeneration plant, achieving 100% electrical self-sufficiency. A 35,000 square meter photovoltaic system and LED lighting further reduce their environmental footprint.
Atlas Concorde's sustainability efforts are substantiated by certifications that ensure product safety, transparency, and reduced environmental impact. GREENGUARD Gold Certification confirms low VOC emissions, aiding in LEED and BREEAM certifications. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide lifecycle environmental impact analyses, with Atlas Concorde's 9mm porcelain stoneware demonstrating a 19% lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) than the Italian ceramic tile sector average. The Declare Label enhances transparency by disclosing product composition and manufacturing details. These certifications facilitate higher LEED certification ratings, supporting architects and designers in creating environmentally responsible projects.
