33 | SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 3 Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages | CORKBRICK is natural, healthy and comfortable.It stimulates creativity, fun and collaboration among family members, or colleagues from 8 to 88. WHY: No harmful chemicals; Sound absorption; thermal insulation; Biosorption of harmful substances. HOW: CORKBRICK EUROPE doesn’t use harmful chemicals in the manufacturing process of its products. CORKBRICK EUROPE’s also committed to research and development of new alternative composites that combine the best mechanical attributes with sustainability and health. Moreover, CORKBRICK’s properties promote wellbeing for it’s users,with sound absorption and thermal insulation. The biosorption property of cork also promotes well-being, removing heavy metals and harmful chemicals from the environment. | I(1) - Thermal preservation | 4,594,768 € | 7,606,168 € | 0.04 € | |

35 | I(9): Collaboration and creativity encouragement | 2925000 persons | |||||
36 | SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 8 Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all | CORKBRICK EUROPE’s business model focuses on creativity and simplicity. Lit offers opportunities to people at both sides of the spectrum (creative and less skilled labour) digitally, and locally. Regardless of gender, nationality, or religion. WHY: Remote working; telemetry; possibility for anyone to become a creator and earn money; generating valuable economy in rural areas. HOW: CORKBRICK EUROPE promotes intensively remote working, adopting solutions such as remote production management with the use of telemetry in the production lines and the possibility for creators to work from anywhere in the world. By doing so, talent can be recruited without the need for relocation while stimulating the global and creative collaboration. Anyone, anywhere in the world can make money submitting their creations to the CORKBRICK SHOP portfolio. The product developed by CORKBRICK EUROPE is not resource-draining, with a long life and being 100% reusable/recyclable adding value to a raw material that is mostly used to manufacture wine bottle stoppers and booming a new market of natural added value products | I(5): Creating value from waste | 780,000,000 € | 780,190,080 € | 4.00 € | |

39 | SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 9 Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation | CORKBRICK EUROPE “meccano” like production system and fan owned model, offer a resilient organisation, independent and foster innovation WHY: Flexible factories and production lines; leveraging local resources; adoption of existing technology; lessening fossil fuel dependency. HOW: CORKBRICK EUROPE’s modular and flexible manufacturing lines, Flex-factories, are easy, fast and cheaper to construct than traditional manufacturing plants. They leverage from local resources and everything that is not necessary to build specifically can be acquired in the marketplace with several possible suppliers, assuring it is always possible to follow the best money for value approach. Also, reusing its own residue (cork dust), CORKBRICK EUROPE’s manufacturing lines are less dependent on fossil fuels, lowering emissions from fuel transportation and processing. CORKBRICK EUROPE’s commitment to developing better and safer materials is closely linked to the investment in research facilities and personnel, including collaboration with universities and faculties world-wide. | I(2): Replacement of non-sustainable materials | 36,459,882 € | 72,919,764 € | 0.37 € | |

42 | SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable | WHY: Sustainable Dynamic Structures; Easy-to-build housing. HOW: A new concept, and trend, CORKBRICK EUROPE developed the concept of “Sustainable Dynamic Structures” that can be used for buildings, not only for interior and furniture purposes. Creating an adequate easy-to-build solution can disrupt the building industry, with houses and buildings as strong and durable as conventional brick and mortar constructions, but as easy to build as modular homes | I(1) - Thermal preservation | 4,594,768 € | 857,514,532 € | 4.40 € | |

47 | SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns | It's durable and recyclable and it reborn cross-generation ownership. WHY: Long product-life; replacing single-use alternatives; flexible and dynamic products. HOW: Having the ability to change your homespace, be it the layout of the walls or the furniture, without having to tear down walls and build new ones with new materials or buying new furniture means fewer resources are wasted. Instead, the adoption of a better and more sustainable alternative such as CORKBRICK that does not produce any harmful chemicals or waste and that is 100% reusable will see the decreased consumption of resources and more ethical production patterns. For the first time in history an object can have multiple personalities. There is no comparable solution on the market. All with your bare hands, with very light components, it can be handled by any person from 8 to 88 years old!.. | I(2): Replacement of non-sustainable materials | 36,459,882 € | 852,919,764 € | 4.37 € | |

51 | SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 15 Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss | WHY: Development of cork oak forests; creation of biodiversity sanctuaries; generating valuable economy in rural areas. HOW: Promoting the sustainable development of cork oak forests, CORKBRICK EUROPE is also contributing to the creation of biodiversity sanctuaries.The circular economy of cork, as well as its value-chain is a great way to recreate value from waste. From bark, to granulate to dust, cork value is constant with each part of the chain adding value to it. The low environmental impact of flexible industrialization boosts the economy of rural areas preventing desertification. | I(8): Forest and biodiversity sanctuaries promotion | 1,440,304,878 € | 1,440,304,878 € | 7.39 € | |
