“We transform matter into excellence and emotion, to add value to people caring for our planet”
OUR PHILOSOPHY
EXCELLENCE IS CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
We share a series of values that move and identify us: sophistication, perfection, innovation, audacity, emotion and integrity. Values that make up excellence.
Matter becomes an ally when we respect it and treat it with value. And the result of this is excellence. It is the consequence of a deep intention to be a true ally of matter.
We are aware of this secret and we work so that each of our areas is imbued with this principle.
Excellence is seeking perfection, it is keeping in mind, and actively promoting, social responsibility and the defense of the environment, both present and future.
THAT IS WHY, AT COMPAC, WE LOVE EXCELLENCE.
RESPONSIBLE EXCELLENCE
COMPAC is one of the first eco-efficient companies in its sector. In order to minimize the impact of its industrial activity on the environment, it continuously reviews its production processes and invests heavily in R&D in the search for maximum ecological efficiency and optimal use of natural resources.
Year after year COMPAC has incorporated improvements throughout its production chain to improve energy efficiency. Thus, 100% of the energy consumed in our factories in Spain and Portugal comes from renewable sources and 98% of the water used in production processes is recycled. In addition, the block cutting system and the improvement in the efficiency of the polishing process by 90% contribute to reducing energy consumption.
Within the framework of an environmental commitment program to offset the CO2, COMPAC has reforested more than 30,000 native trees in Portugal since 2003. In the same way, in 1992, COMPAC developed an installation system for ventilated facades, synonymous with reducing energy costs in buildings, of which COMPAC has installed more than 1.5 million square meters worldwide.
COMPAC Technological Obsidiana, Quartz and Terrazzo have the Greenguard Gold certificate, certifying that their products do not emit toxic substances that could affect indoor air quality and people’s health. Specifically, it holds the seals: Air Quality Certified (Certificate of Indoor Air Quality) and The Greenguard Children & Schools Certified (Certificate of Schools and Children’s Enclosures), one of the strictest in the industry.
Likewise, the use of COMPAC products in buildings contributes to earning points for the LEED certification (Leader in Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Design). This guarantee is a voluntary international standard system, based on consensus and market criteria to develop high-efficiency sustainable buildings. Out of the seven areas that are evaluated to grant the certification, the use of COMPAC materials provides points in three categories: materials and resources, indoor air quality and design innovation.
