About Rbppl
Roca Group's commitment
The Roca Group (“Roca”) is keenly aware that water is a unique and limited resource, and has therefore spent over 50 years developing water and energy-saving devices for its products, thereby contributing to more balanced and sustainable co-existence with the environment.
Roca's commitment to the responsible use and consumption of water has taken on a new dimension with the establishment of the ‘We Are Water Foundation India’ trust (“WAWFI”) by Roca Bathroom Products Private Limited (“Roca India” or the “Company”) in June 2016. WAWFI is a new initiative through which Roca India intends to undertake CSR activities centered around responsible water consumption and conservation, and in furtherance of its commitment to the environment, in terms of both its products and its production processes.
By creating this foundation, Roca aims to show its solidarity with those people and communities most affected by water shortage and its consequences.
