Our sustainability policy extends the reach of our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy. ESG refers to companies that have implemented initiatives to encourage environmentally, socially, and governance responsible practices. In our instance, we concentrate on their influence across three key areas: People, Planet, and Prosperity.
Cerámicas Gala places people at the heart of its sustainable mission. We are dedicated to establishing safe and fulfilling work environments, nurturing the professional growth and welfare of our team members, and thereby cultivating a resilient and committed work community.
