Ethical Commitment of Grup Terraclara SL
Who we are
Sències is part of Grup Terraclara SL, a family business currently on their second and third generation. Our roots come from the Catalan “pagesia” (peasantry). The land and the soil are important elements of our legacy. With this soil we build sustainable houses, with the land we grow wholesome food and produce quality milk. Our legacy has allowed us to maintain and expand a real estate that is enjoyed by our clients, through a rent that is legally compliant, or through their participation in the events that take place in these properties. With our business, we contribute to the conservation of the environment and to the fulfillment of the needs of society, and we take care of our lands and our forests, which also serve society in this way.
Currently living throughout the world, the members of Grup Terraclara SL have expressed their desire that their Company acts with ethics and for the benefit not solely of its Partners and Employees but of the entire Society.
