ACTIU'S COMMITMENT

Design that benefits people while protecting the planet

Our business decisions reflect our identity and unwavering commitment. Guided by honesty and transparency, we seek to design a world where growth is sustainable for people and communities, spanning environmental, social and economic spheres.

Since our inception, respect for the environment has been fundamental to ACTIU. This is reflected in our production in Spain and in the creation of our Technology Park in Castalla (Alicante), internationally recognised for its efficiency and sustainable design.

The world's first industrial company to achieve WELL v2™ and LEED® Platinum v4.1 O+M.

Our way of designing and manufacturing with people and the environment in mind has enabled us to become the first industrial company in the world to achieve WELL v2™ and LEED® v4.1 O+M certification.

In 2024 we achieved the LEVEL® certification

It's not just our facilities, it's also our products that have been LEVEL®2 certified since 2024. Created by the European Office Furniture Federation (FEMB), this certification guarantees that our products are socially, environmentally and economically responsible.

And this is just the beginning...

Because in 2025 Actiu joins the B Corp™ movement, reaffirming its commitment to a positive impact beyond economic profit. Being a B Corp™ company means integrating social, environmental and ethical values in every decision, committing to a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy for the common good.
