The importance of sustainability is recognised the world over but it means different things to different people. For many it is about low environmental impact, whether that is in terms of performance or delivery. However it is so much more than that and for a global business such as Sika, it is imperative that they fully embrace sustainability and practice what they preach.

As a business, sustainability is embedded into everything Sika do – it affects them economically, environmentally and socially. It is a fundamental part of their everyday business. As a leading manufacturer of products working across multiple industry sectors and as a responsible employer, sustainability affects Sika's thoughts, behaviors and actions – everyday. For them, sustainability is a shared goal but one who’s successes directly benefit all.

Transparency is the hallmark of an ethical company, therefore Sika has committed to using the GRI’s (Global Reporting Initiative) sustainability reporting standards for their Annual Report, which details initiatives implemented and progress towards their six sustainability targets.

GRI provides the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting standards – 92% of the world’s largest 250 corporations report on their sustainability performance and 74% of these companies use GRI’s standards. Embracing GRI not only illustrates to Sika’s stakeholders the importance that they place on sustainability, but also demonstrates that they are not afraid of being open and honest – Building Trust with customers and local communities alike.

Sustainability is in everything Sika do, every day. It affects all of us and as a business they are proud to practice what they preach and play their part in delivering a more sustainable future.
