Our products

Ecodesign

 

38.07% of our carbon footprint is generated in the manufacturing process of our products. This fact presents us with another challenge: to continuously improve our process to reduce emissions. Our main strategy focuses on eco-design, which we incorporate throughout the manufacturing process of our products. This involves careful selection of materials, as well as reducing the weight or number of components. Additionally, we are committed to designing products that are durable and repairable, among other measures.

Quality and Measurement

 

Ensuring the quality of our products is another of our pillars. Quality control is present at all stages of production of our collections. From conceptualization and design to functionality and reliability testing.

We are guided by the highest quality standards in the industry, complying with the international safety standard EN60598 and the European energy efficiency standard ERP. In addition, we have implemented a Quality Management System based on ISO9001.

Our Planet

Assembly, Logistics, and Transportation

 

We are oriented towards more circular and sustainable production.

We have a real commitment to using green electricity. And we do so by ensuring it comes from renewable sources. Specifically, from our own photovoltaic installation. An installation that produces 40% of our energy and whose capacity we have doubled.

100% Of the energy we use is from green sources.
100% Of our products comply with the EPREL energy efficiency standard.
60% Of the boxes we use to protect our products during shipping are recycled in our own logistics plant.
-32% In waste generated at our facilities.

People

 

We believe in the richness of having divergent perspectives. Perspectives from a team composed of people born in 8 different countries. From an equal and diverse team. Ensuring this richness and diversity is a constant effort to which we are truly committed.

 

49% Of the workforce are women
51% Of the workforce are men
44% Of our executive positions are held by women
10% Of our workforce is composed of people of non-Spanish nationality
2% Of our workforce is composed of people with disabilities
