Diasen

Diasen develops high-performance building materials designed to improve comfort, durability, and environmental balance. Our philosophy of compatible chemistry combines natural raw materials—especially cork—with intelligent innovation to create sustainable, efficient, and human-centered construction solutions. Through research, responsibility, and continuous improvement, we aim to make every building a positive contribution to the planet.

Since January 2018 Diasen is a BCorp company and is part of a global network of over 2000 voluntarily satisfying companies – certified by B Corporation, issued by B Lab, a non-profit organization based in Wayne, in Pennsylvania – standards of transparency, accountability and sustainability.

Diasen is one of the first companies in Italy to attain BCorp certification.

Diasen’s sustainability claims are backed by measurable standards and recognised certifications. Our systems and products align with:

- ISO 9001 – Quality Management

- ISO 14001 – Environmental Management

- ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety

- EPD (Environmental Product Declarations) – independently verified environmental data

- VOC and REACH compliance – ensuring health and safety for users and occupants

These frameworks ensure consistency, accountability, and traceability across all our processes.

Our Vision

Diasen’s mission reaches beyond traditional construction. We strive to enhance people’s quality of life while safeguarding the Earth’s resources. Our long-term vision is to support a building sector that is completely sustainable within the next twenty years—where every material, system, and process contributes to human wellbeing and ecological balance.

To achieve this, Diasen integrates technology, research, and innovation into an environmentally responsible framework. We are committed to choosing value over price and sustainability over convention, ensuring that performance never comes at the expense of the planet.

Our Approach: Compatible Chemistry

Diasen’s sustainability approach is founded on compatible chemistry—a research-driven method that aligns material science with environmental integrity. We prioritise:

- Natural and renewable raw materials, with cork at the centre of our formulations;

- Minimal synthetic content, used only when necessary for durability or safety;

- High energy efficiency and improved indoor comfort;

- Life cycle responsibility, from raw material sourcing to end-of-life reuse.

By combining nature’s intelligence with scientific precision, Diasen’s products reduce environmental impact while delivering superior technical and aesthetic performance.

Materials and Innovation

The intelligence of materials lies at the core of Diasen’s sustainability. We see natural materials as active components that contribute to comfort, efficiency, and environmental health.

Cork exemplifies this principle. As a renewable, elastic, and insulating material, it offers outstanding thermal and acoustic performance while absorbing CO₂ and regenerating naturally. Our product range uses cork and other natural aggregates to create breathable, energy-saving coatings, mortars, and systems that improve indoor wellbeing and reduce operational energy demand.

Our Research & Development department continuously improves formulations to:

- Lower embodied carbon;

- Reduce VOC emissions;

- Extend building lifespans;

- Minimise waste and promote recyclability.

Diasen innovation always serves a dual purpose: technical excellence and environmental benefit.

Environmental Responsibility

Environmental stewardship guides every stage of Diasen’s operations. We adopt measurable objectives and continuous improvement processes to minimise impact. Our key commitments include:

- Reducing CO₂ emissions through efficient manufacturing and logistics;

- Using renewable energy and optimising production processes;

- Reducing water consumption and waste generation;

- Sourcing responsibly, favouring renewable and recycled materials;

- Protecting biodiversity in areas linked to our raw material supply.

Diasen’s facilities operate under certified management systems to ensure that environmental goals are met and regularly improved.

Circularity and Resource Efficiency

Diasen embraces circular economy principles, ensuring that materials and processes regenerate rather than deplete. Our circular approach is based on:

- Design for longevity — products built to last and require minimal maintenance;

- Reduced waste through efficient production and reuse of by-products;

- Recyclable and recoverable components for end-of-life value;

- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methods to monitor environmental performance.

This model allows Diasen to continually lower embodied carbon and resource use across our entire value chain.

Social and Ethical Responsibility

For Diasen, sustainability also means human sustainability. We create a workplace culture based on fairness, safety, and opportunity. Our actions include:

- Ensuring safe, inclusive, and supportive working conditions;

- Providing continuous training and professional development;

- Encouraging collaboration and shared responsibility across teams;

- Engaging with local communities through environmental education and outreach projects;

- Upholding transparency, ethical conduct, and social respect in every partnership.

Our commitment is to grow responsibly, empowering people as we protect the planet.

Continuous Improvement

Sustainability at Diasen is not a fixed goal but a continuous journey. We invest in research, digitalisation, and process innovation to further reduce our environmental footprint while increasing the value delivered to customers and communities. Our forward strategy focuses on:

- Expanding renewable material use;

- Achieving carbon-neutral operations;

- Enhancing product transparency through digital tools and LCA data;

- Strengthening collaboration with universities, partners, and sustainability bodies.

Through ongoing innovation, Diasen aims to become a global benchmark in sustainable construction chemistry—a leader in developing materials that restore rather than exploit.

Summary: The Diasen Way

Diasen’s sustainability is founded on three core principles:

1. Natural Intelligence – harnessing the potential of renewable materials such as cork to deliver exceptional performance and wellbeing.

2. Responsible Innovation – designing solutions that minimise environmental impact and maximise durability, comfort, and safety.

3. Collective Value – building lasting partnerships and a culture of care, ensuring that our growth benefits people, buildings, and the environment alike.

Our goal is simple yet ambitious: to create technologies that help the construction industry move from impact to balance, and from sustainability to regeneration.
