Commitment to sustainable development

Quarry restoration plans

The exploited areas in all our quarries are restored through restoration plans which have been previously approved by the competent authority.

Their aim is to return the land to a state similar to that one before the area was exploited, always seeking the highest level of landscape integration in the natural environment.

Although these plans are guaranteed by law, for DFG this commitment is more than just a legal requirement; it is the result of the determined ethical approach of its enterprise policy.

Low energy consumption

The fact that granite is a natural product simplifies the extraction process making energy consumption lower than that of other materials.

Energy efficiency

Recycling the water used to cut the stone and taking advantage of the rainwater to irrigate the tracks and other services.

Economic Development

Our quarries create value for the communities in which they operate, and they stimulate their economic activity by generating direct and indirect employment.

Environmental impact assessment

Before opening the quarries, a study is carried out to minimise their environmental impact, and the possible long-term environmental effects are subsequently monitored.
