Sustainability

Sika strives to create value for all its stakeholders with its products, systems, solutions along the whole supply chain and throughout the lifespan of its products. The value created outweighs by far the impacts associated with production, distribution and use.

As a globally operating technology-based company, Sika is committed to sustainable development. The Sika sustainability strategy, whose avowed aim is “More Value – Less Impact”, has got off to a successful start, with the company exceeding most of its targets for 2014.

With the avowed aim of “enhancing utility and reducing negative impacts”, Sika defined six strategic targets that focus on sustainable solutions, economic performance, local communities/society, energy, waste/water and safety. Through its products, systems and solutions, Sika seeks to generate benefits for stakeholders that far outweigh the negative consequences of the production process and resource consumption.

The Sika sustainability strategy is accompanied by a management and reporting system meeting the G4 Guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI G4).

Limited Resources, Climate Change, Water, and Infrastructure are trends which are re-shaping Sika markets and guiding Sika business. As an innovative pioneer, Sika thinks ahead and commits to a better environment with an integrated approach incl. solution sustainability, supply chain sustainability and social sustainability.

Sika's mission statement specifies the following: "Our aim is to address environmental and safety concerns throughout the value chain." For Sika ecological efficiency means delivering equivalent or better solutions while consuming less material and energy.
