Reutilizamos 100% da água
utilizada na extração das rochas
The excellence of the ornamental rocks produced by Granistone is the result of the intense work of more than 200 professionals with a wide range of specialties, capable of monitoring the minerals throughout the entire production process – from extraction to shipment to the client and application in construction projects.
All this care and dedication is supported by the privilege of being a company founded in Brazil: a country with the greatest geological diversity in the world. While the natural diversity of minerals present in Brazilian soil offers exuberant rocks, the enterprise of extracting them brings with it a huge responsibility: environmental preservation.

Como empresa amiga do Instituto Terra, fundado em 1998 por Lélia Wanick Salgado e Sebastião Salgado, The Granistone tem orgulho de cultivar uma parceria com a organização não-governamental sem fins lucrativos que é responsável direta pelo reflorestamento e pelo processo de recuperação de milhares de hectares de Mata Atlântica nos estados de Minas Gerais e do Espírito Santo.

Another guideline of the sustainability policy is the reuse of water in the facilities and throughout the ornamental stone production chain. The mineral cutting and processing processes require large volumes of water. However, by investing in rainwater harvesting facilities, as well as in the treatment and reuse of wastewater from these operations, it is possible to reduce waste and make much more efficient use of the planet's most important natural resource.
Geramos uma economia útil de

We use solar energy, which is one of the most sustainable in the world, being renewable and clean, since it does not emit pollutants nor use raw materials that are scarce in nature, generating useful savings of up to 95% compared to electricity.

It is essential to highlight the increasingly extensive use of photovoltaic panels to generate sustainable, renewable and clean energy at Granistone facilities, ensuring significant savings in energy demand in its production.

At each stage of our production process, we also think about how we can better protect the environment, and using solar energy has become a smart choice.

More than just a company concerned about its environmental impact, Granistone actively and consciously operates in the world, determined to leave the best legacy, both through its products and its practices.
Sustainability goes beyond caring for our space; it also involves caring for our people. Granistone is also active in the communities surrounding our quarries and actively contributes to their well-being.

In the regions where we operate, especially near quarries, we are committed to promoting responsible local development. We invest in job creation, professional training, and support for health, education, and infrastructure initiatives. We value the well-being of the communities around us. For us, sustainability also means creating value for people.
