Sustainability Report
For Iris Ceramica Group, the Sustainability Report is an important message with strategic value, a transparent account of the guidelines it has adopted in the areas of social responsibility and sustainability policies. The report has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines, and specifically the latest version currently in use, known as the “GRI Standards, Core Option".
The decision to report our Group’s initiatives and results in financial, social, environmental and governance terms stems from its specific mission and reaffirms its commitment to creating shared value. This beginning of this process dates back 60 years, when our Founder decided to stay a step ahead when it came to sustainability objectives, formulating the equation Economy=Ecology
Each day we strive to create a world in which humankind’s economy and habitat come together to create a new level of wellbeing, with a constantly increasing focus on local communities. Our non-financial report, prepared according to the GRI Standards, helps us to be aware that true progress is the result of shared values and the assumption of collective responsibility that extends to all stakeholders.From this perspective, dialog with stakeholders becomes the heart of our analysis, which through discourse generates vitality and objectives to be developed together in the immediate future, underscoring the meaning and scope of all investments in collective responsibility.

Sustainability Report 2019
The drafting of the 2017-2019 Sustainability Report by Iris Ceramica Group confirms that the path of responsibility we have embarked on, a clear expression of a precise vocation, is both necessary and urgent. The ongoing situation is generating undeniable signals that reinforce our motivation to continuously improve, and the recently achieved ZERO EMISSIONS production milestone is a result more important than any commercial goal. The publication of this second report is marked by the awareness that true progress is the result of shared values and the assumption of collective responsibility involving all stakeholders. In particular, to improve relationships with various stakeholders, this report has been enriched with tools aimed at measuring and improving the performance of every entity in the supply chain within sustainability parameters. In this context, we decided to organize a multistakeholder engagement event where we shared and evaluated different relevant topics: a moment of sharing and participation that signified openness to diverse perspectives in order to gather suggestions and insights for medium- and long-term strategic planning. Simultaneously, a discussion and analysis table was set up to review the supply chain of Iris Ceramica Group with the aim of understanding the level of reporting by suppliers, because only a supply chain truly oriented toward sustainability allows each of its individual components to be fully sustainable.
Sustainability Report 2018
The Sustainability Report is a strategic planning and institutional communication tool published to showcase the contribution that an organization makes to the communities and territories to which it belongs or in which it operates. The Sustainability Report accompanies and integrates the financial report, formally documenting the social and environmental policies implemented by the organization. The report communicates to third-party stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers, communities, associations, etc.) the elements for which they can trust the organization; it is the litmus test of Corporate Reputation. The Sustainability Report of Iris Ceramica Group is prepared according to the international GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) standard and aims to outline not only the interdependence between economic and social factors, but also between these and environmental factors, measuring their impacts and setting medium- to long-term improvement goals.
