Environmental Certification ISO 14001

The environmental management system of Cooperativa Ceramica d'Imola - in reference to the UNI EN ISO 14001 Normative- was imposed on the basis of the following principles:

• Protection of the environment and natural resources:
  
  Cooperativa Ceramica d'Imola strongly believes in the value of the environment and feels that its industrial production objectives should be pursued and fulfilled using strategies and facilities that allow the optimal and efficient use of the resources and in complete respect of the environment.
  It is for this reason that Cooperativa Ceramica d'Imola focus on minimizing the environmental impact of its production of ceramic tiles and optimizes the use of natural resources thanks to the recycling processes which recover the waste from the various raw and cooked processing as well as optimizing the water supply resources and the reutilization of recyclable material for packaging.
• Efficient and effective energy politics:
  
  Through the introduction of optimized plant solutions, Cooperativa Ceramica d'Imola is devoted to constantly reducing the energy consumption of the production processes. The majority of the electrical energy utilized is produced in-house through the use of the most modern cogeneration systems.
• Respect for the ecosystem:
  
  Cooperativa Ceramica d'Imola is dedicated to minimizing the environmental impact of its industrial production in order to protect the entire ecosystem. Therefore, Cooperativa Ceramica d'Imola completely recovers all of the water used in the working processes thus reducing the discharge to zero; it performs continual monitoring of the significant emissions in order to achieve a high level of reduction of the pollutants that are critical to the environment, it conducts complete differential waste collection of the paper, plastic material, wood, steel and copper.
