Sustainable Awareness
At Cerdá we seek to promote a sustainable awareness in all areas of our company that will last over time. Aware that we can be part of the solution to global challenges, we base our sustainability strategy on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN.
"At Cerdá we are convinced that the best companies in the world
are the best companies for the world."
That is why we build our corporate culture on three key pillars:
- the environment.
- the economic.
- the social.
Artesanía Cerdá is much more than products and services, it is commitment to our values. Values that are the values that Pepe Cerdá, founder and president of Artesanía Cerdá, has been able to transmit to his family and his business.
Humility, resilience, quality, passion and innovation are the benchmark of the company's ethical behaviour with all its stakeholders, including the people who form part of the Cerdá team.
