Code

Integrity and ethics are an important part of Sika culture. Ethical behavior is one of the cornerstones on which Sika's excellent reputation is built. Our customers are counting on it and other stakeholders – in particular our shareholders and the entire Sika staff. There is therefore no room for negotiation or interpretation of these rules. The Code of Conduct defines the standards and rules for Sika and all employees.

For us, sustainability is 'the art of staying'. We want to live our lives in such a way that there is a permanent environment for our children in which they can do the same.

We are proud to be the first company in the industry to be certified according to the CSR Performance Ladder, inspired by the standard ISO 26000. A nice addition to the long-present ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and VCA** certificates. Sika and Pulastic® floors are proven durable and meet international standards. Various systems are tested and/or have the sustainable labels: AgBB/DiBT, Ecospecifier, M1, Classification LEED/BREAAM, Eurofins.

Sika Netherlands plays an active role in promoting sport and play and has developed various concepts and total solutions - under the brand name Pulastic® - that are used in both indoor and outdoor sports facilities. Like the Richard Krajicek Foundation, we like to invest in young talent.

The mission of the RKF "To stimulate sporting activities, in a socially safe situation, for young people in those neighbourhoods where opportunities are limited" is supported wholeheartedly. Through sponsorship, but also through intensive cooperation with our partner RKF in order to take our social responsibility together.

Sika Netherlands sponsors scholarships for 7 students and in return these scholarship students will supervise the sports activities for young people at a Krajicek playground in their neighbourhood for at least 100 hours.

Thanks to the expert and intensive guidance provided by the scholarship students at the Krajicek Playgrounds, children have the opportunity to develop in a positive environment. They are an inspiration to other children in the area. Across the country, there are 100 active Krajicek Playgrounds where more than 4,000 children play and play sports together every day.
