‍“As a leading building materials retailer, TopHaus combines decades of expertise with a strong network and direct access to the European building materials market. These resources enable us to offer comprehensive, 360° consulting and make sustainable innovations accessible at the local level as well. ‍Through our collaboration with VIVIUS, we gain valuable insights and up-to-date information on sustainable construction, which allows us to specifically highlight eco-friendly solutions and continuously refine our product range. ‍Sustainability is deeply rooted in our values—it is not just a goal, but a way of life. That’s why we consistently focus on energy-efficient buildings and even generate more energy than we consume ourselves.”

“For over 30 years, Naturalia-Bau has stood for healthy building materials made from renewable resources such as wood, hemp, and clay—100% eco-friendly, sustainable, and free of harmful substances. We bring this philosophy and experience to our collaboration with VIVIUS, because in an era when large corporations are becoming increasingly powerful, smaller companies can only survive if they network locally and demonstrate strength through unity. This is precisely where VIVIUS comes in: as a platform that brings together committed businesses to bring innovative, healthy, and sustainable solutions to market. Our headquarters in Merano, built in 2008, demonstrates that we view sustainability as more than just a buzzword—it is Italy’s first zero-emission office building, constructed entirely from renewable raw materials, and today it produces more energy than it consumes. In this way, we contribute to a better climate—both indoors and outdoors—and demonstrate what sustainability in action can look like in the construction industry."

“Progress actively contributes to promoting environmentally friendly construction practices through efficient and sustainable solutions and supports VIVIUS’s goals. Through the valuable exchange within the network, we gain new insights to further develop our products and processes. Sustainability is a central component of our operations: Our precast concrete elements are 100% recyclable, and through automated manufacturing processes, we conserve resources, reduce construction times, and optimize energy use. The use of recycled aggregate and optimized concrete mixes enables a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions. In this way, we are making an active contribution to the sustainable transformation of the construction industry."
