GranitiFiandre attends FUORISALONE 2009, a parallel event to the Salone del Mobile, that is held in Milan from the 22nd till the 27th April.

"We use nature respecting it, and we respect nature reproducing it"

In this slogan there’s GranitiFiandre’s philosophy, a company all along attentive to nature and environmental themes: an extremely actual topic that the company wants to communicate in this FuoriSalone, looking forward to the 2015 Milan Expo, which is focused on the eco-sustainability theme.
In these weeks another universal exhibition has chosen GranitiFiandre for its materials’ quality and the company’s philosophy: the company has been chosen as a partner of the Commission for the 2010 Shanghai Expo, focused on the theme "Better city better life".

GranitiFiandre proofs its attention towards the sustainability theme also with the achieved certifications, such as the company’s conformity to the ISO 14001 rules and the adhesion to the EMAS regulation, achieved and maintained since 2000. Last but not least is the certificate recently issued by the prestigious international board of certification "Burau Veritas" following the inspective verification accomplished by the company last March, to ensure the conformity of a numerous list of articles to satisfy the LEED criteria in relation to the 4.1 point concerning the contents of recycled material with a percentage over 40%.

The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an evaluation system for the energetic – environmental qualities oriented to the realization of high performances "green" buildings, born in the USA in 2000 on hint of the US Green Building Council – that is now obtaining a wide consent on an international level both for new building interventions and for integral restructuring.
LEED is a certification on voluntary base where the designer himself gathers the evaluation’s data to transmit to the control board.
The system is based on the attribution of credits for all the requirements that concur to the final score formation to attribute to the building.
Among the many criteria, LEED requires the employment of materials with high recycled content and in this point of view, our researchers have studied proper dough mixtures in which, through appositively dedicated processes, percentages of recycles coming both from the internal production waste materials, and from the transformation of mixture coming from similar productive cycles.

These researches consented in years to appreciably reduce the consumption of natural resources maintaining the same high technical and aesthetical standards which are typical of GranitiFiandre’s materials.

GranitiFiandre operates with an ecologic conscience, knowing that only unifying all the efforts and sensitivities we can preserve what’s the most precious thing in the world: our planet.
