At Marmi Faedo, Grolla hard limestone represents much more than just a natural resource. It is a material to be treated with respect because it embodies the history and beauty of our land, and we operate every day guided by this philosophy. This approach is reflected in the care we take to minimise the impact of our activities on both the community and the environment.
Aware that our quarry is located in a populated area, we strive to ensure that those living nearby are not disturbed by mining activities. We have invested in state-of-the-art technology to reduce noise and minimise the spread of dust during extraction and processing operations. These measures, combined with regular maintenance and stringent safety protocols, ensure that homes and neighbouring areas remain protected. Every action we take is guided by the goal of ensuring that quarry operations do not pose a threat or nuisance to the area but instead become an added value—a resource managed with awareness and respect.
Alessandro Faedo expressed this vision well by stating: “Grolla hard limestone is valuable not only for its physical characteristics, but also for the way we extract it, with special care for the environment around us. Our quarry is different from others: it is not a massive industrial operation but one that coexists in harmony with nature.”
These words perfectly reflect the essence of our commitment: we do not merely extract hard limestone; we strive to establish a balance between production activities and the environment, recognising the value of both.
Harmony with the natural environment is a priority, allowing us to operate with the utmost respect for local flora and fauna. It is not uncommon to observe wild animals crossing the quarry area—a clear sign that the surrounding environment is not compromised by our activities. The presence of native species in and around the quarry is a significant achievement for us, as it attests to the effectiveness of our environmentally friendly practices. Indeed, we are committed not only to preserving but also to enhancing the biodiversity of the area by implementing rehabilitation and restoration measures after each phase of mining.
At Marmi Faedo, we are driven by the conviction that economic activity must always respect and contribute to the well-being of the environment in which it operates. This principle is translated into concrete actions, from the adoption of sustainable technologies to prioritising the safety and well-being of those living near the quarry. For us, the value of Grolla hard limestone is inseparable from respect for nature and people—essential elements that give profound meaning to our work.
