Luxstainable Solutions from KALDEWEI
100% Made in Germany - 100% recyclable - 100% plastic free
KALDEWEI has won over 150 awards to date and has been awarded the accolade of “Brand of the Century”. Now, with its luxstainable bathroom solutions, KALDEWEI represents style-defining innovation and eternal elegance more so than any other company in the industry. The secret of its success: from an early stage KALDEWEI made design one of the cornerstones of its corporate philosophy in manufacturing its bathtubs, shower surfaces and washbasins. In addition to product development at its own Design Center, KALDEWEI has been collaborating for over 45 years with illustrious design teams such as Sottsass Associati, Phoenix Design and Studio Aisslinger, plus designers Arik Levy and Anke Salomon. This has led to the creation of a multifaceted range, in terms of material, functionality and design, which meets the demanding standards of project decision-makers and developers worldwide.
Luxury and sustainability go hand in hand at KALDEWEI
Our society must become more sustainable and environmentally aware if it wants to leave a livable world for future generations. KALDEWEI is aware of this responsibility: for over 100 years, the family company has been using natural raw materials, transforming them into long-lasting and recyclable bathroom products, made of steel enamel. The premium manufacturer’s commitment does not end with the delivery of the finished products. This is underscored not only by the fight against plastic in the bathroom and the partnership with the environmental protection organization WWF for a pioneering environmental project in Vietnam. KALDEWEI is also a member of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) and international Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). As an industry pioneer with regard to promoting sustainable building KALDEWEI was the first bathroom manufacturer who could offer an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) issued by the Institut Bauen und Umwelt (IBU) for its products. Continuing this leadership KALDEWEI is the first company in the sanitary industry to sign the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). By doing so, KALDEWEI is joining an initiative that has set itself the task of achieving the goals of the Paris climate protection agreement by defining specific measures.
“This is an important step towards sustainable production that recognises the planetary limits and has no alternative. In addition to our commitment to the pollution of the world’s oceans, the reduction of CO2 emissions will be an important driving force for innovation in the company.”, says CEO Franz KALDEWEI.
All these actions lead KALDEWEI to receive the best possible rating in the Leader Level of the Marriott Sustainability Assessment Program (MSAP) from Marriott International Inc. The largest hotel group in the world honours the special efforts made by the German sanitary company to achieve more sustainability in the equipping of restaurants and hotels. MindClick Global is a leader in the collection and evaluation of sustainability indicators and determines the ecological footprint of suppliers for Marriott. KALDEWEI is an example of how the highest standards of sustainability, quality and aesthetics can be perfectly reconciled.
