Sustainability
Our commitment goes beyond the product.
Sustainability is not an isolated measure or a framed certification. At SG Foam it guides every decision: the choice of materials, waste management, the partners we choose and the causes we support. We work today to guarantee a tomorrow allied to innovation and biodiversity.
Our transformation technologies
Protecting what is essential
We support organizations dedicated to the conservation of the Iberian lynx and its habitat. Our commitment to biodiversity begins with recognizing that some species don't get a second chance.
Less waste, more efficiency
We promote waste reduction, the reuse of materials and energy efficiency at all stages of production. Waste separation is the starting point and the product life cycle is the horizon.
With partners and the community
We involve our partners and suppliers in circular economy practices. Sustainability built only internally is not enough, it has to happen throughout the chain.
Measurement, verification, improvement
We apply principles of continuous measurement and evaluation to our environmental performance. It's not enough to declare intentions, we need to measure, verify and improve.
"Link to what matters."
LINK by SG Foam
LINK is SG Foam’s environmental and social responsibility project.
It’s a commitment that exists outside the facilities and that materializes in concrete actions with a real impact on Portuguese territory.
Iberian lynx.
We support organizations dedicated to preserving the Iberian lynx and the ecosystems that make our territory unique. The Iberian lynx is Europe’s most endangered feline and one of the Iberian Peninsula’s most emblematic species. Protecting it means protecting the Mediterranean ecosystem as a whole.
Mata do Buçaco.
We are involved in the project to sponsor trees in the Buçaco National Forest in Luso, which is classified as a National Monument. Our contribution aims to create a healthy and diverse Portuguese forest, with native species.
A more sustainable future. Made to protect. Designed to last.
