The Raaft® Commitment to Environmental Sustainability

Architectural design and construction are both innovating and returning to traditional products and methods that place a lighter burden on the planet’s natural resources, reduce carbon footprint and ensure long-term sustainability.

The Raaft® Commitment

As we strive to become a global market leader, we recognise our responsibility to provide roof terrace and podium systems that support these goals and to contribute towards a better environment for the future of our communities.

We are currently working towards achieving ISO 14001 certification, which is scheduled for completion in 2025, to ensure our environmental management systems are fully implemented. In addition, we are developing EPDs for our pedestals, joists, and planter systems, with a target completion date of 2026.

Porcelain – a naturally
environmentally
friendly product

Raaft® Porcelain tiles perfectly demonstrate our commitment to environmental sustainability and low carbon footprint.

Porcelain is:

  • Made from natural, plentiful ingredients sourced near to the point of manufacture
  • a highly durable material that outlasts many of its alternatives and therefore contributes to reduced waste due to product lifespan replacement
  • a low-maintenance product that requires no harmful chemical treatment to clean or preserve it

Our porcelain manufacturer:

  • Reprocesses 100% of the unbaked waste clay generated during manufacturing
  • Reuses process water from other factories and recovers 100% of its own wastewater
  • Recovers 24,000 MWh of energy annually through cogeneration generates additional energy through its own photovoltaic plant
  • Generates additional energy through its own photovoltaic plant
