We are Circular

Since 2019 we have had our own brand of circular economy products called Izir, “Irizar Zirkularra” for giving a second life to excess materials from our production. Product catalogue, sustainable fashion, leisure spaces and a lot more!

Cooperativist DNA

Our relationship with society is based on respect, is open and participative while collaborating with culture, sports and education in our immediate area as well as on solidarity actions.

Our International Action Framework

We have been adherents to the United Nations Global Compact since 2013 and year after year we renew our firm commitment to the 10 principles set forth by the Global Compact, which inspire us to move forward with our responsible activities and helps us manage risk better.

We started approaching the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2018. Since then, our contribution to achieving the SDGs is integrated into our strategy and management. 

We are also members of the Spanish Global Compact Network.
