For the third year in a row, Sika achieved a strong sustainability rating in the S&P Global Rating ESG Evaluation, increasing its score from 74 to 75/100. This evaluation reflects S&P Global Ratings' view that Sika embeds sustainability into its processes and products, delivering environmental benefits to customers who are often in hard-to-abate sectors, such as concrete and roofing.

The report reflects that in 2022 Sika committed to set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)-validated targets, covering scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, which is indicative of the company’s commitment to reduce its carbon footprint.
