Costa Verde<\/strong> was established in 1992, by being one of the most modern companies<\/strong> in its activity sector, across the European space. This porcelain<\/a> producer<\/strong> exports around 75% of its production towards the European Union and to countries such as Denmark, Switzerland, USA, South Africa, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, South Korea, Japan and Angola.<\/p>\n

This is possible due to a huge investment across all production areas<\/strong>. Costa Verde<\/a> bets on the purchase of modern equipment<\/strong> and on the concreteness of effective processes. It holds social awareness<\/strong> always on site, by demonstrating an enormous respect towards the environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The principles held by the International Labour Organization and the UN, included in the Global Pact<\/strong> and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/strong>, are considered as guidelines. Therefore, Costa Verde<\/a> will never hire child labour force nor will resort to forced labour. In fact, it rejects those practices.<\/p>\n

Costa Verde provides, to the employees, good work conditions<\/strong>, namely, on what concerns to health and safety<\/strong>. It complies with the right to collective negotiation and freedom of association, by dealing with every worker under the maximum dignity.<\/p>\n
