Sustainability for Portobello
Protecting the
Environment
Planet Earth is our home. And, for thousands of years, we
have been using its natural resources to build our houses.
Now we number over 7 billion. The only future worth ima-
gining is one in which our management of architectural
resources is smart, optimized and sustainable.
Ceramic tiles replace non-renewable resources in a
manner that is much more logical, technically and envi-
ronmentally-wise. In the case of Portobello, they are ex-
ceptionally sustainable.
We worry about the way mineral deposits are explored
and restored, about where the water we use comes from,
about repurposing waste, about creating a positive im-
pact for our communities.
In our design process, architecture knows no bounds.
In 2020, we distributed over 36 million square meters of
sustainably-sourced tile coverings in Brazil and around
the globe. On the following pages, we will show how we
are working on creating the future we want.
