Our corporate culture is built on diversity, respect, and collaboration

The personal, professional, and social wealth brought by the union of people from diverse backgrounds has defined us since our beginnings, when in 1984 our founding partner, María Gómez Mosquera, embarked on the joinery business in a traditionally male-dominated sector.

At our parent company, Carpintería Ramón García, S.A., women make up 60% of the Board of Directors. Through this leadership, we promote a collaborative and inclusive workplace that values diversity. Our approach is rooted in our Code of Conduct and reinforced through a range of initiatives, including:

  • Team-building activities: We organize events, internal celebrations, contests, and other initiatives that foster stronger connections among team members.
  • Annual employee satisfaction survey: This allows us to identify strengths and areas for improvement, and to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives aimed at enhancing well-being and internal satisfaction.
  • Internal communication channel: Accessible to the entire team, this platform promotes the flow of information, team cohesion, and the reinforcement of core values and best practices.

Environmental commitment

Sustainability and environmental care: A practical approach

We translate  Grupo Ramón García’s environmental commitment to actions that allow us to minimise the impact of our social activities on the environment.

To achieve this, we have implemented circular economy processes by crafting our products based on the 7R model.

Redesign

Our Maintenance and Production Department examines all feasible solutions for damaged equipment to avoid discarding it.

Reduce

We have achieved a reduction in electricity consumption as a result of installing photovoltaic panels at our Ordes facility, and also in Mesía due to the installation of LED lightning and motion sensors in both factories.

We are committed to energy efficiency, that is optimising the use of any energy source to maximise its benefits without exceeding consumption, with activities such as purchasing electric forklifts and more energy efficient equipment or machinery.

We support local suppliers from kilometer 0, thus protecting the environment by reducing transportation-related pollution.

Our parent company, Carpintería Ramón García, holds the Carbon Footprint certification, enabling us to quantify, reduce, and/or offset our CO2 emissions.

Reuse

We promote the reuse and minimization of paper consumption. We use recycled paper for printing informal documents and photocopy on both sides.

Repair

Our Maintenance and Production Department examines all feasible solutions for damaged equipment to avoid discarding it.

Renew

We update our equipment, machinery, and tools to ensure they continue to perform their intended functions. Alternatively, we repurpose them for other tasks where they can still be useful.

Recover

We recover, whenever possible, used wood and solid surface materials, reintroducing them into the production process to create new products or packaging materials.

Recycle

We recycle cardboard, for which we also have a compactor, as well as plastic, metals, wood scraps, and sawdust.

We add our own R for Responsability Ramón García

The success of environmental management stems from the people. In line with our responsible approach, we promote good environmental practices to raise awareness among our team, through workshops, guides, protocols, and personalized recommendations.

Additionally, we use sustainable raw materials. Carpintería Ramón García is part of the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).

Similarly, we promote the use of sustainable packaging materials. To this end:

    • We have replaced all FOAM corner protectors with cardboard and eco-friendly foam corner protectors, and bubble wrap rolls with recycled bubble wrap rolls.
    • All purchased labels are FSC® certified.
    • We prioritize recycled cardboard.
    • We strive to replace plastics with those having a higher percentage of recycled content.
