El Quarry Life Award es una competición científica y educativa, se lleva a cabo cada tres años, y simultáneamente a nivel nacional e internacional. Su objetivo es crear conciencia sobre el valor ecológico de las actividades extractivas, y compartir nuevas mejores prácticas.
Actualmente, se llevan a cabo proyectos de biodiversidad en nuestras canteras alrededor del mundo.
En 2022 otorgaremos premios internacionales de hasta 30.000 €.
