Sustainability, understood as the ability to meet present needs without compromising those of future generations, is based on a balance between three fundamental pillars: environmental protection, social equity, and economic responsibility. This concept has gained global relevance, driven by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide a clear framework for promoting fairer and more environmentally respectful practices.

In the field of sustainable building, the aim is to minimise the environmental impact of construction, optimise resource use, improve energy efficiency, and ensure a healthy environment. This is achieved through the design, construction, and operation of buildings that meet strict sustainability criteria. Certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, VERDE, WELL Building Standard, and PASSIVHAUS are tools that assess and validate the environmental performance of buildings, setting a global standard.

Sustainable building certifications allow for energy and water savings, reduced operating costs, improved occupant health, and increased property value, all while meeting environmental regulations.

The use of materials with sustainability certifications is essential to achieving these objectives. Certifications that guarantee environmental quality and the responsible sourcing of materials have become a key requirement for architects aiming to ensure their projects meet international standards. Among the most recognised are PEFC and FSC, which certify that the timber used comes from sustainably managed sources, and EPD and HPD certifications, which provide transparency regarding the environmental impact and safety of the products used.

Parklex Prodema offers materials that are certified, facilitating the achievement of sustainable building recognitions. Our products not only meet technical requirements but also follow criteria for reducing environmental impact and improving indoor air quality. International certifications such as PEFC, FSC, EPD, and Clean Air Gold ensure that our products meet the highest sustainability and environmental quality standards, ensuring both material traceability and compliance with the most demanding international regulations.
