Our commitment to environment sustainability

Architectural design and construction are both innovating and returning to traditional products and methods that place a lighter burden on the planet’s natural resources, reduce carbon footprint and ensure long-term sustainability.

Our Commitment

As we strive to become a global market leader, we recognise our responsibility to provide roof terrace and podium systems that support these goals and to contribute towards a better environment for the future of our communities.

‍

We are currently working towards achieving ISO 14001 certification, which is scheduled for completion in 2026, to ensure our environmental management systems are fully implemented. In addition, we are developing EPDs for our pedestals, joists, and planter systems, with a target completion date of 2026.

Environment at the heart

Durability

To reduce the frequency of replacement due to damage or wear and tear

Renewability

To decrease the use of finite natural resources

Proximity

To reduce carbon footprint before, during and after manufacture

Recyclability

To ensure a high percentage can be reprocessed at the end of the products’ lifespan

We are planet positive certified

We are measuring our impact on the planet and making efforts to reduce our carbon footprint.

5 ways we are making efforts

Porcelain – a naturally environmentally friendly product

Raaft® Porcelain tiles perfectly demonstrate our commitment to environmental sustainability and low carbon footprint.

‍

Porcelain is:

Made from natural, plentiful ingredients sourced near to the point of manufacture
a highly durable material that outlasts many of its alternatives and therefore contributes to reduced waste due to product lifespan replacement
a low-maintenance product that requires no harmful chemical treatment to clean or preserve it

Our porcelain manufacturer:

Reprocesses 100% of the unbaked waste clay generated during manufacturing
Reuses process water from other factories and recovers 100% of its own wastewater
Recovers 24,000 MWh of energy annually through cogeneration generates additional energy through its own photovoltaic plant
Generates additional energy through its own photovoltaic plant
