Environmental management
At Cosentino we are moving forward with an international momentum towards the full transition to a low-carbon economy, promoting circular economy, energy efficiency, emissions reduction and sustainable mobility.
This approach is part of our innovative character and allows us to improve processes with a vision of the future and, ultimately, combines our performance with strategic goals such as innovation (SDG 9), sustainable production (SDG 12), and climate action (SDG 13).
As part of our strategic objectives, we made significant investments in assets related to the environment and projects to deploy the best available technology.
A highlight of 2020 was the global roll-out of investments in environmental assets worth more than €15 million and expenditure on environmental control and improvement amounting to more than €10 million. This is detailed below by geographical area:

Environmental risk management
At Cosentino Group, we identify any environmental risks that may result from our activity, both from an internal and external perspective. This analysis allows the System’s weaknesses, threats, strengths and opportunities for improvement to be established and developed to guarantee an early response to any possible risks.
During 2020, there were no fines or monetary sanctions for non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations.
In 2020, the global development of the environmental incident management system (Gensuite®) continued, with the aim of achieving our commitment to excellence in safety, health and the environment. This tool has made it possible to monitor all the environmental aspects and incidents that affect the company’s daily operations, as well as to create a collaborative environment that involves both production and maintenance personnel, and the occupational risk prevention team. The number of Gensuite® environmental incidents registered in Spain in 2020 was 106.
