To achieve the objectives set in the decarbonization plan, the group focuses its efforts on six initiatives Roca Group has made significant progress in its decarbonization plan in 2023, developing initiatives that put the company at the forefront of sustainable production in the industry.
CO2e emissons compared with 2018
The emissions reduction objectives established in Roca Group’s decarbonization plan were analyzed and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global leader in this area.
Scope 1 and 2 emissions
Scope 3 emissions
Roca Group has commissioned the world’s first electric tunnel kiln for the production of ceramic sanitaryware. This initiative has made the group the first company with a net-zero emissions production plant of ceramic sanitaryware in the world.

First electric tunnel kiln in the industry
Highly efficient and automated, this kiln represents a totally new alternative for a traditionally gas-and carbon-intensive industry.
Following a thorough analysis of its materials and processes, Roca Group has launched its Circularity Roadmap, a comprehensive action plan to tackle the challenges of the circular economy.
Roca Group is also developing a specific roadmap for water conservation, based on the 6R system (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover, Reclaim and Replace).

Medición de consumos
Implementar los equipos digitales necesarios para medir los consumos industriales de energía.
Sistema de Gestión Energética (EMS): el EMS corporativo se ha comenzado a implementar en ocho plantas piloto del grupo. Su objetivo es medir y monitorizar el consumo de energía con mayor detalle y granularidad, identificando nuevas oportunidades de mejora y replicando las mejores prácticas.
Optimización de los consumos de energía
Optimizar el consumo energético en los procesos de producción mediante nuevas instalaciones y tecnologías.
Instalación de equipos de recuperación de calor, que permiten reaprovechar hasta el 30% del calor generado por los hornos en otros procesos, reduciendo el consumo y contribuyendo significativamente al descenso de las emisiones generadas.
Maximización del uso de energías renovables
Maximizar el uso de energía limpia mediante la autoproducción con sistemas fotovoltaicos, compra de energía eléctrica verde y uso de las alternativas más sostenibles en los procesos térmicos.

Energy consumption optimization
Optimizing energy consumption in production processes via new installations and technologies.
Heat recovery equipment: Installing equipment to allow reuse of 30% of kiln-generated heat for other processes, thus reducing consumption and contributing significantly to a reduction in emissions generated.
Renewable energy use maximization
Maximizing the use of clean energy sources via self-production using photovoltaic systems, the purchase of green electricity and the use of the most sustainable alternatives for thermal processes.
