At GF Cork, sustainability is not just a choice — it is our starting point. Working with cork — a natural, renewable, and regenerative resource — is a privilege that calls for responsibility. We produce with respect for the environment, for people, and for future generations.
ODS 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy
Transforming waste into energy
We use cork dust — a natural byproduct of our production process — to generate green energy through biomass, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
ODS 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Purpose-driven innovation
We focus on efficient and sustainable industrial processes, using technologies that enhance natural resources, reduce waste, and optimize the entire production chain.
ODS 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities
Contributing to cleaner and more resilient communities
Our eco-friendly packaging and optimized logistics reduce waste and emissions in urban environments, promoting more responsible supply chains and a lower environmental impact.
ODS 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
Towards zero waste
We are committed to the full use of cork, achieving a 100% waste recovery rate and promoting a circular economy in the sector.
ODS 13 – Climate Action
Cork Oaks: Natural Heroes in the Fight Against Climate Change!
Each cork oak has the remarkable ability to capture large amounts of CO₂ from the atmosphere throughout its lifetime, helping to offset global emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change.
ODS 15 – Life on Land
Preserving cork oak landscapes, protecting the future
Cork is harvested without cutting down trees, allowing the natural regeneration of cork oaks. This practice protects biodiversity and helps prevent desertification in Mediterranean ecosystems.
ODS 5 – Gender Equality
Fighting for real equality, every day
In our company, women are not just part of our team — they are leaders, innovators, and drivers of change. Gender equality is not just a policy, it is a commitment to a fairer and more balanced future.

Growing together with our employees
Investing in people is investing in the future. We provide continuous training so that each employee can grow, learn, and reach their full potential.
ODS 10 – Reduced Inequalities
No one is left behind
We believe that an inclusive workplace is a stronger workplace. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination and work to create an environment of true equity, where every voice is heard and respected.
ODS 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Integrity and transparency are the pillars of our culture
We build a culture based on trust, where actions speak louder than words. We respect the rights of every employee and leave no room for corruption or injustice. Our mission is to be a company that contributes to a fairer and more responsible society.
