The Green Good Design Awards 2024 honors FLORIM stone
September 16, 2024
Florim has reached another important milestone with the award of the prestigious international Green Good Design Awards 2024 to the FLORIM stone brand.
The award was given by the "Chicago Athenaeum - Museum of Architecture and Design" and "The European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies", which select organizations worldwide that promote forward-thinking with an increasingly sustainable design approach.
The FLORIM stone collections, dedicated to the world of furniture and worktops, combine design and functionality in a large format (320x160 cm) offered in three thicknesses (6-12-20 mm). The surfaces are the result of an environmentally conscious process, produced in facilities that recover 100% of raw production waste, 100% of wastewater, and where 127,000 square meters of surfaces covered with photovoltaic panels provide 12.3 MWp. These facilities, together with two cogeneration units, generate up to 100% of the electricity needed for the operation of the Italian production plants. When that's not enough, Florim purchases energy from certified renewable sources.
In line with the company strategy that combines business needs with care for the planet, FLORIM stone is an integral part of the CarbonZero project, the Carbon Neutral surfaces that offset all CO2 emissions generated throughout the entire lifecycle.
"Our commitment to reducing environmental impact is sincere and constant; we are proud that it is recognized and validated by this prestigious award. This encourages us to continue our journey to improve the environment and people's well-being" says Claudio Lucchese, president of Florim SpA SB.
The Green Good Design Awards was established in 2008 as the "Green" edition of the "Good Design Award"; in 2021, Florim received the award for the Sensi collection, which combines design and beauty, typical of made in Florim, with an approach to sustainability, environmental protection, and energy savings.
