Sustainability & ESG
We design heavy metalwork industrial solutions while respecting the environment and promoting ecological transition.
Aligning Engineering with Ecology
At LCE, we believe that the future of heavy metalwork and industrial manufacturing inevitably relies on cleaner and more sustainable processes. In a competitive European market with strict environmental requirements, we implement concrete actions for decarbonization and resource protection.
We adopt active practices in circular economy and energy efficiency, focused on minimizing the ecological footprint of our factory in Viana do Castelo, ensuring full technical compliance and the ethical satisfaction of our clients.
Reducing our carbon footprint is an ecological duty and a guarantee of competitiveness in the global market.
The Four ESG Pillars
How we translate our environmental commitment into daily operational measures at our facilities.
Photovoltaic Self-Consumption
Installation of more than 450 solar panels on our pavilions' roofs, covering around 45% of peak electrical needs.
Steel Circular Economy
Recovery and recycling of 100% of steel waste (turnings and offcuts), reintroducing by-products into the metallurgical cycle.
Emission Treatment
Painting booths equipped with advanced active carbon systems for filtering and purifying solvents and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
ISO 14001 Certified Management
Implementation of operational processes aligned with the international Environmental Management standard, reducing water and energy waste.
