​To protect forests and the environment. ​

Wood is a natural, renewable resource, and Lecta firmly supports its responsible use to preserve forests, the environment and its value for our society at large.

Our Responsible Purchasing of Wood and Forest-Based Products Policy states our commitment regarding the purchasing of pulp and fiber. The policy and its requirements, along with the principles in our Code of Ethics and Lecta's Integrated Management System Policy, ensure the correct management of our purchases, in line with our sustainability targets.

In keeping with these values, Lecta’s PEFC and FSC® C011032 Chain of Custody system has been in place for years to guarantee accountability and the protection of forest resources through tracking systems.

In 2022, 87% of the pulp purchased by Lecta was certified and 100% was from controlled sources. The target set for 2030 is for 100% ​of the pulp we purchase to be certified and controlled.

Lecta teams up with PichiAvo to immortalize a decade of art with "Our Odyssey"<img alt="Lecta & PichiAvo" src="/es/news/PublishingImages/nh_PichiAvo.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /><img alt="Lecta & PichiAvo" src="/es/news/PublishingImages/nd_PichiAvo.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /><p>​​​Lecta is honored to participate in the publication of <em>Our Odyssey</em>, the first anthology of the renowned art duo from Valencia (Spain) PichiAvo, which commemorates their last ten-year creative career. Juan Antonio Sánchez (Pichi) and Álvaro Hernández (Avo) have achieved international acclaim with a unique style that blends classical art and contemporary graffiti to great effect. </p><p>In their work, PichiAvo transform mythological figures, classical sculpture, and architectural features, and integrate them in vibrant urban environments. The contrast between eternal and fleeting, monumental and ordinary, defines their artistic essence and has resulted in commissions for projects in Europe, North America, and other regions of the world.</p><p> <strong> <em>Our Odyssey</em>: an artistic journey</strong></p><p> <em>Our Odyssey</em> is a reflection of this creative evolution. The book features more than 300 artworks, from monumental murals in public spaces to more intimate studio projects. The pages invite readers to explore the PichiAvo universe and witness each stage of their artistic process, from the initial inspiration to the final execution.</p><p> <strong>The synergy between paper and art</strong></p><p>The collaboration between Lecta and PichiAvo highlights the importance of paper as a medium for perpetuating artistic creation.

Each page becomes an extension of the work, transforming the book into a sensory experience which, as the art duo PichiAvo states, pays homage to art. In their words,</p><p>"For us, paper is the starting point for everything we do. Every sketch, every idea that emerges, begins on paper, and that makes it a crucial part of our artistic process. We wanted to convey that importance in Our Odyssey by using different types of papers and textures that reflect the essence of our work. The choice of paper for the book was also vital for faithfully reproducing the colors and details of the original pieces, ensuring that every page captures the visual experience of our art as we conceive it."</p><p>Paper is not only a substrate but an ally of art that can immortalize a moment in time and transmit emotion. In <em>Our Odyssey</em>, the combination has given rise to a book that acts as a bridge between the artists and readers.</p><p> <strong>Committed to culture</strong></p><p>This collaboration reaffirms Lecta's commitment to art by providing PichiAvo with the company's experience and resources to capture their work, creativity and passion on paper.</p><p>Discover this anthology at <a href="https://www.pichiavo.com/" target="_blank"> <strong>www.pichiavo.com</strong></a> and dive into a decade of art and creativity.</p>12/2/2024 11:00:00 PMAbout Us Locations Join the Lecta Team Sales Organization Manufacturing Sites Why Lecta <ddd/> A responsible company Strategic Sustainability Targets and SDGs Environmental Social <ddd/> https://www.lecta.com/en/news/Pages/Lecta-teams-up-with-PichiAvo-to-immortalize-a-decade-of-art-with-Our-Odyssey.aspxLecta teams up with PichiAvo to immortalize a decade of art with "Our Odyssey"
