Sustainability

Environmental sustainability is a relevant aspect within the design of our solutions, products and production processes.

Environmental certification

Gallizo has always shown its commitment through environmental actions in all the areas in which it operates. Since 2005, our company has had the ISO 14001 certificate for environmental management systems. This commitment to the environment has become one of the keystones within the philosophy of the company.

Since then, our business activities include environmental and sustainability targets aimed at establishing processes which minimise potential risk and impact. We undertake actions from the provision of resources for the recycling of materials to the encouragement of internal campaigns for the promotion of a sustainable environment.

Strong commitment to the circular economy

Gallizo business activities have always been focussed from the perspective of sustainable evolution. In that way, with more than half a century of business experience, a high percentage of the materials we use in the manufacture of our products are recycles or reused.

In addition, Gallizo has been able to complement this philosophy with its production activities, which has led us to use our resources through a commitment to the use of products which will contribute towards the development of sustainable markets. Our counterweights for underground waster recycling bins, prefabricated recycling points, or our concrete for radioactive protection and insulation are made in this way.

Through this conviction we apply our strong commitment in such a way that the use of Gallizo products implies an addition to sustainability and respect for the environment.

Jose María Gallizo SL has implemented an environmental management system according to ISO 14001:2015, which takes into account the life cycle of the products we manufacture.

This means that:

Inputs and outputs are considered in all environmental processes.

The environmental aspects and impacts that occur in our activities are periodically assessed.

There is a system in place to update environmental legal requirements and ensure compliance.

Through established environmental operational controls, legal compliance is ensured and environmental impacts and aspects are kept within an acceptable order of magnitude.

If any type of environmental accident occurs, environmental emergency protocols are implemented.

Audits are planned and carried out to ensure compliance with system requirements.
