Florim achieves ISO 17889-1 certification

Florim has achieved the new ISO 17889-1 standard, which defines a series of internation parameters that allow measurement of the sustainability of tiles. The standard evaluates environmental, economic and social impact throughout the lifecycle of a product.

In addition to being B Corp certified, ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, ISO 50001 for energy management, and ISO 45001 for health and safety, the company reportedly boasts over 20 international product certifications, earning a top spot among the most certified companies in ceramics.

The ISO 17889-1 standard guarantees greater transparency from companies about the sustainability of their production, the company says.

According to the company: “In the global market for building and construction materials, there are many environmental product labels and building rating systems, with application criteria that differ from country to country. The international standard ISO 17889-1 promotes a standard that simplifies the overall framework, standardising the evaluation and scoring criteria.

“In this way, ceramic companies around the world have a methodology to enhance their environmental performance throughout the entire production chain and the good practices implemented at the company level. Moreover, designers, contractors, and end customers have a verifiable and objective tool to avoid the pitfalls of greenwashing and identify truly sustainable tiles.”
