Sika Sustainability

The overarching ambition of our efforts and initiatives is to offer sustainable solutions for environmentally friendly vehicles, creating value-added products based on better performance and sustainability. 

Sika's chemists and engineers aim to improve energy use and material efficiency in every product within its broad portfolio. From the development phase, we consider how Sika's actions impact the environment, considering its manufacturing processes and source materials and their final industrial functions. 

The evaluation and classification of all new product developments by performance and sustainability belong to the ‘Sustainability Portfolio Management’ (SPM). The SPM framework addresses the global demand for product evaluation and the customers' need for transparent and comprehensive documentation of their environmental impacts. 

Life Cycle Assessments provide a comprehensive insight into the environmental impact of products cradle-to-gate. Sika conducts LCAs to support customers' calculation of their overall vehicle product carbon footprint. Identifying sustainable practices, processes, and materials is fundamental to Sika as it works to fulfil its environmental ambition. 

Global trends, such as climate change and raw materials scarcity, increasing urbanization, and population growth confront companies and communities with major economic, social, and environmental challenges. Efficient use of resources is crucial for sustainable development. 

Sika continues to focus on minimizing energy consumption, waste, natural resource use, and emissions during our production processes. Its emissions reduction targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative with a near-term target by 2032 and a net-zero target by 2050. Sika aims to decrease our footprint by collaborating with our entire value chain.  

Social responsibility is a key component of success. Sika is committed to creating an attractive and inclusive work environment where people can grow and unlock their full potential. A place where everyone is treated fairly and has equal opportunities. A place where it encourages true self and helps team members to develop a strong sense of belonging. It is about empowering people at all levels to actively contribute to building a sustainable future and be truly passionate about daily challenges. 

Good Corporate Governance safeguards the sustainable development and performance of the company. Sika is committed to openness and transparency and provides information on structures and processes, areas of responsibility, and decision procedures, as well as the rights and obligations of various stakeholders. 

Our ESG reporting is central to our commitment to sustainability, addressing climate performance, energy, waste, water, and community engagement. Through measurable targets and verified supply chains, we’re helping shape a responsible, data-driven approach to automotive production delivering sustainable solutions.
