Sustainability as Tradition and Future

Our SUS[PAINT]ABILITY Agenda

​From beer to paint. From paint to healthy living solutions. From sustainability to SUS[PAINT]ABILITY.

Our history is built on responsibility, innovation, and the determination to pursue new directions. Together with our employees, partners, and customers, we develop transparent, healthy‑home, and sustainable solutions that are defining tomorrow’s living spaces. Our journey is only just starting…

With clear targets and innovative solutions, we are shaping the future for our environment, our society and our people.
Our aspiration: to create a positive impact on people and the environment through our actions and our products.

  • We improve our environmental footprint by lowering energy use and CO2-emissions while increasing renewable energy.
  • We develop innovative products with careful regard for their effects on consumers and the environment.
  • We promote employee health and safety and foster a workplace defined by equal opportunity, diversity and teamwork.

Our commitment to a sustainable future

Our first sustainability report, aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, shares transparently our achievements in terms of environmental, social and governance but more importantly highlights our ambition for the future.

Sustainability is not such a trend it is a core element of our strategy

100% green electricity and an onsite solar plant

We rely entirely on renewable energy and are consistently steering our energy supply towards climate neutrality. Both our production and our administration run on 100% renewable electricity. Since 2024, our own onsite solar plant has supported this approach and saves more than 1,080 tonnes of CO2 per year. Through precise monitoring and continuous optimising of our energy flows, we ensure maximum efficiency and reaffirm our circular‑economy mindset.

COSMOS®: our platform for preservative-free paints

With COSMOS®, we already offer a holistic answer to the demands of a changing market. As a platform concept for preservative‑free paints, we minimise health risks, improve indoor air quality and conserve resources – without compromising on quality, from emulsion paints through tinting to lacquers.

Within a year, we have increased the share of such systems from 24% to 36%. By 2030, we aim to reach 80%.

Sustainable packaging – taken further, consistently

We are committed to packaging designed for the circular economy. 67% of our plastic packaging already consists of recycled material, and we aim to increase this to 90% by 2030. To achieve this, we are systematically transitioning our packaging systems to recycled materials, securing reliable material streams, enhancing quality and design, and communicating transparently through recognised environmental labels.
In doing so, we reduce the use of fossil resources and actively strengthen the circular economy.
