Roca Lisboa Gallery joins the Architecture and Sustainable Construction
The partnership will bring Sustainable Fridays, an initiative aimed at promoting good practices, to the brand’s space in Lisbon.
The Roca Lisboa Gallery in Lisbon has teamed up with the Sustainable Architecture and Construction Portal to host two sessions of the Sustainable Fridays initiative, in a programme whose main objective is to raise awareness among professionals and students of the importance of adopting sustainable behaviour in the construction sector.
The two sessions, ‘Decarbonisation in the construction sector’, on 13 September, and ‘Building sustainable bathrooms’, on 11 October, will allow participants to learn about the progress the sector has made towards carbon neutrality.
This sector has been reinventing itself in order to commit to new technologies in production processes and strategies for creating sustainable materials to minimise its environmental footprint.
Sustainability is one of the main pillars of the Roca Group, which reinforced this position with the inauguration of the world’s first electric oven for the production of sanitary ware. As part of this commitment, the group announced that, by the end of 2023, it had achieved a 50 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions compared to 2018.
