KALDEWEI Wins Gold at the ARCHITECTS‘ DARLING Awards 2024

KALDEWEI, Ahlen, December 2024 – The winner of the 2024 Cradle-to-Cradle Challenge is KALDEWEI. During the Celler Werktage, Heinze GmbH presented the prestigious ARCHITECTS‘ DARLING Gold Award to the premium bathroom manufacturer in the category "Cradle-to-Cradle Challenge." This award recognizes KALDEWEI's innovation and commitment to sustainable business practices in alignment with a circular economy.

The ARCHITECTS‘ DARLING Awards have long been considered one of the most significant events in the construction and architecture sectors, emphasizing the close relationship between architecture and industry. Often referred to as the "Oscars of the construction industry," the awards celebrate advancements in design, technology, and sustainability. They provide companies with a unique opportunity to showcase their products and services while positioning themselves as key references for architects and the broader industry.

This year, exceptional manufacturers and products that meet both current and future industry demands were honored once again. A key highlight of the gala event was the introduction of the “Cradle-to-Cradle Challenge Award.” This new category recognizes companies that demonstrate exceptional sustainability concepts and responsible actions within the framework of a closed-loop economy. KALDEWEI became the first-ever Gold winner in this category, receiving the prestigious Phoenix Statue in Gold. The jury’s reasoning was clear: “Your commitment to the environment and pursuit of a comprehensive Cradle-to-Cradle process is authentic and convincing.” Additionally, KALDEWEI was recognized in two other categories: Silver in the “Best Advertisement” marketing category, and Bronze in the “Sanitary Objects/Accessories” product category.
