At Heritage Ceramics, we have been at the forefront of sustainable tile manufacturing since inception. We have dedicated ourselves to minimising our environmental footprint through significant reductions in carbon emissions, energy consumption, and waste. Our commitment to sustainability is not just a practice but it is a core principle that shapes every aspect of our operations.
Today, we have minimised our carbon footprint by 20% since 2001.
Heritage Ceramics meticulously selects its manufacturing partners or factories, ensuring their goals and values align with our unwavering commitment to sustainability. This includes adhering to the highest environmental standards of emissions.
In our approach to product development, environmental impact is an important consideration.
We meticulously evaluate every stage of the manufacturing process, from resource extraction to the final production, to ensure that we minimise our environmental footprint.
Quality is the cornerstone of Heritage Ceramics. We are committed to developing porcelain tiles that are exceptionally durable and designed to last for a lifetime.
This focus on quality not only ensures our porcelain tiles maintain their structural integrity and aesthetic requirements, but it will also significantly reduce waste and conserve resources.
At Heritage Ceramics, we have implemented stringent measures to monitor and reduce energy consumption across all our premises, both factories and offices.
Our continuous efforts have led to a substantial reduction in annual energy use, significantly lowering our CO2 emissions.
Through educational posts on sustainable tiles and guidance on proper maintenance, we empower the public with the knowledge to own their sustainable journey.
Additionally, we collaborate with sustainability experts to ensure the best practices are shared and implemented.
While we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint, we recognise that the extraction of raw materials for ceramic tile production inevitably leads to some degree of deforestation.
To mitigate this impact, we have pledged our support to the national OneMillionTrees Movement. A percentage of every sale will be donated to the Garden City Fund to support tree planting, outreach, and educational efforts.
Green certifications are crucial for identifying environmentally friendly products that are highly valued in the building industry. At Heritage Ceramics, our porcelain tiles undergo rigorous testing as mandated by certification bodies. Independent evaluators assess our products against stringent sustainability criteria to ensure they meet high environmental standards.
We are dedicated to maintaining the highest levels of sustainability in tile manufacturing, aligning our practices with the global expectations of our customers and the industry at large.
We are immensely proud to announce that our Space & Studio Series has been awarded the esteemed 3 Ticks Excellent certification from the renowned SGBP scheme.
The Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) established the SGBP certification scheme in 2010 to drive sustainability in the construction industry.
