We tread softly.

Since the start of our green journey in 1991, we have constantly pushed the limits for operational efficiency, seeking out ecologically sustainable manufacturing methods and developing eco-friendly products.

Global GreenTag GreenRate™

As the first South African flooring manufacturer to earn the coveted Global GreenTag eco-label certification, we have achieved another significant sustainability milestone.

This internationally recognised “Level A” Global GreenTag certification – called GreenRate™ – maximises our products’ eligibility to achieve 100% of the available credit points across all South Africa’s Green Building Council (GBCSA) rating tools. The stringent assessment process has equipped us to develop holistically and entrench sustainability across our value chain.

Green Journey Full Timeline

Our eco-pillars drive our multi-dimensional, long-term operational plans and they challenge us to ask more of ourselves and less of the planet in all that we do.

Water Management

Water Management

Embracing change in our traditional manufacturing processes and repurposing harvested rainwater has reduced water consumption by 35 - 45% since 2015.

Our state-of-the-art water recycling facility reflects our commitment to responsible manufacturing by recovering, treating, and reusing process water to reduce environmental impact and strengthen water security.

Waste Management

We have placed waste management high on our agenda, with investments in excess of R5 million that have enabled Belgotex to divert 80.8% of total waste from the landfill.

Energy Conservation

Energy Conservation

Belgotex has invested over R20 million to date in solar power, resource efficiency and plant upgrades in an active drive to offset CO2 emissions and improve energy efficiency. Our solar capacity has increased from 1 MW to 3.1 MW through a 2.1 MW expansion and technology upgrade.

Circularity & sustainability

Sustainability sits at the heart of our vision and strategy, and we see sustainable manufacturing as essential for long-term, inclusive, and restorative growth.
