• Over the past year, the company has implemented new energy efficiency projects at its production plant to optimize consumption, improve operational performance, and reduce the environmental impact of its activity.
  
  
• Neolith continues to make progress toward its decarbonization targets, aligned with the SBTi initiative, as well as in the implementation of its action plans linked to the Cradle to Cradle standard.
  
  
• Material circularity, emissions reduction, and responsible water management further strengthen its more efficient and sustainable industrial model.

On World Environment Day, Neolith highlights the initiatives carried out over the past year as part of its continued evolution toward a more efficient, circular, and responsible industrial model. The company, a global leader in sintered stone, continues to reinforce its environmental strategy through measures focused on energy efficiency, decarbonization, material circularity, and responsible management of natural resources.

At a time when industry plays a key role in the transition toward a more sustainable economy, Neolith is moving forward with a roadmap aimed at progressively reducing the environmental impact of its activity and integrating continuous improvement criteria across all production processes. This vision is part of the company’s commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and the development of high-performance surfaces that meet the current needs of the architecture and design sectors.

During 2025, Neolith has launched several projects designed to optimize energy consumption at its production plant and improve operational efficiency. The measures implemented include the installation of an automatic humidity and temperature control system for the dryers, the automation of cold air intakes in kilns, the review of residual electricity consumption, and the adjustment of temperatures during kiln stoppages. The company has also worked to improve overall equipment effectiveness, adjust air-gas regulation in burners, and install electric dryers before kiln entry to help enhance product quality.

These actions enable Neolith to advance toward its decarbonization targets, aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which were validated by the organization in 2024 with the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. This commitment consolidates a climate strategy based on measurement, efficiency, and the progressive reduction of emissions. Compared to the previous year, Neolith achieved a 5% reduction in total energy consumption in 2025.

In addition, the company holds Guarantees of Origin and has a photovoltaic panel installation, ensuring that 100% of the electricity purchased for its production plant comes from renewable sources.

Neolith has also reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 25% across Scopes 1 and 2 since 2022, and by 30% across Scope 3, reflecting steady progress toward its decarbonization commitments and the continuous improvement of its environmental performance.

Circularity is another key pillar of Neolith’s sustainability strategy. As a Cradle to Cradle certified company, Neolith is actively implementing strategic action plans derived from this international standard, with concrete progress in areas such as Clean Air, the Cycling Plan, and Water & Soil Stewardship.

In 2024, Neolith obtained the international Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze certification, which recognizes that the products included in the official list available on the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute website meet criteria for safety, circularity, and responsible resource management throughout their life cycle. This and other Neolith sustainability and environmental certifications can be consulted here.

Within the framework of Clean Air, Neolith has implemented energy efficiency improvements that help reduce both CO₂ emissions and other atmospheric pollutants.

Through its Cycling Plan, the company maximizes circularity by reintroducing surplus materials into the production process, helping to close the material life cycle more efficiently. Thanks to this approach, Neolith currently offers products with up to 98% recycled content, a figure that reinforces its position as a company committed to more circular and responsible production.

Water management is also a priority within Neolith’s environmental strategy. In this area, the company has optimized consumption control through the installation of strategic meters at its production plant, achieving a 10% reduction in 2025 compared to 2024. Neolith also guarantees the treatment of 100% of the industrial water generated at its facilities, enabling zero industrial wastewater discharge.

Through these initiatives, Neolith reaffirms its commitment to a more conscious, efficient, and future-oriented industry. The company continues to move forward with a sustainability strategy that combines technological innovation, production excellence, and environmental responsibility, further consolidating its leadership in the high-performance architectural surfaces sector.
