Workplace ergonomics

We deliver products and solutions to satisfy the needs of the modern, environmentally sustainable building industry, developed for and in cooperation with professional builders. Our activity is centred around the users of our products. We build mutual trust- and loyalty-based lasting relations with building contractors. Our products guarantee not only reliable solutions thanks to high quality, but also ensure contractors’ workplace ergonomics. Our lab’s involvement, combined with continuous cooperation with the contractors, contribute to lighter, highly efficient and user-safe products. We implement advanced processes for development and validation of solutions in cooperation with professionals, by offering a wide range of practical training opportunities and support in the form of technical advice.

Social well-being

It is the people that are our greatest capital. Without their commitment and professional approach, our success on the construction products market on such a big scale would not be possible. The foundation of our organisational culture is based on diversity, which accords with openness – indispensable for cooperation within international, interdisciplinary teams of workers with extremely diverse experience.

Environmental footprint reduction

Environmentally sustainable, efficient, easy-to-use and innovative products, which are at the same time durable and safe, are the focus of continuous R&D work conducted in our labs. We are also working on new solutions reducing the carbon footprint of our products throughout their entire life cycle. Our products are composed of approved raw materials only, and our production processes have no negative environmental footprint. In several plants, waste water is recycled in closed cooling systems for production and green energy is utilised.

Our sustainable products

We are guided by the holistic approach to the evaluation of Selena Group’s
environmental impact based on Life Cycle Assessment.

All our actions are aimed at reducing the carbon footprint by minimising the consumption
of resources and carbon dioxide emission to the atmosphere. The overall life cycle assessment
of our products enables responsible environmental management, without transferring
the impact of reduction between the phases.

Transparent and comparable information about our products and environmental impact is provided
in the Environmental Product Declarations.
