Sustainable and Innovative Products

Contributing to a new era in construction
More sustainable, safe and inclusive

 

There are many factors influencing architecture and construction in the search for innovative solutions that contribute to more efficient and sustainable buildings. We can highlight some of these factors, such as energy efficiency, the composition and durability of materials, certifications or circularity in construction, all of which are essential on this path to achieving environmental sustainability and promoting social well-being.

Taking into account the Vicaima Group's core business, we are committed to contributing to SDG11, which aims to make cities and communities more sustainable, inclusive, safe and resilient. Our contribution includes providing products for more sustainable housing that promotes privacy, safety and well-being, accessible to all and in harmony with nature. In the same way, we act to encourage sustainable consumption patterns and products (SDG12) with effective actions to reduce waste and residues, recycle and reuse materials, as well as energy consumption, through an integrated approach throughout the value chain, from the producer to the end consumer.
