Sustainability targets 2020
At least
%
of our trade should deal with sustainable products by 2020. The use of these products will obviously have benefits for clients and users.
A greater than
%
reduction in our CO2 emissions per ton of products by 2020 is another target. This is an essential step to improve our climate!
Number
has been our rank in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices every year since
2012.

Sustainability targets 2020
Along with our clients and suppliers, we are committed to
achieving sustainable values throughout the whole production
chain and supporting the sustainability programmes of our

Sustainable surfaces at Zweihorn®
In all our development projects,
we focus on promising
environmentally friendly and
sustainable surface systems.
We are committed to making our
products and production
processes more sustainable.
12
Zweihorn® solventborne coatings…
...which meet the
strict requirements of
TOX Control.
Even our 2-component
solventborne coatings meet the
strict requirements of the TOX
Control Label and can therefore be
used inside without any harmful
consequences
13
Zweihorn® HighSolid coatings…
...which manage almost
without solvents.
e.g., Duritan® – the ultra-quick
coating system, which hardens very
quickly and strongly in sunlight. This material is patented, has very low
emissions, fulfils the requirements of
the VOC Directive and has also passed
the strict test of TÜV-Rheinland.
14
Zweihorn® hybrid coatings…
...a clever combination of
solvents and water.
e.g., the Futuran stair topcoat that
presents the benefits of solventcontaining coatings but significantly
reduces VOC emissions. This topcoat is
patented and is naturally mostly used
for fixed components indoors.
15
Zweihorn® waterborne coatings…
...of as high a quality
as solventborne
coatings.
Our waterborne coatings have the
Tox Control Label for low-emission
furniture coatings and some of the
assortment also have the monitoring
symbol for building products (e.g.,
parquet and wooden floors)
corresponding to the health and
safety guidelines set by the German
Institute for Structural Engineering.
16
Zweihorn® parquet coatings…
...which meet the strict
requirements for CE
acceptance.
e.g., our highly resistant 2-component
waterborne Zweihorn® coatings Duocryl or
Unocryl®
have the Tox Control Label for low-emission
furniture coatings.
Some of the assortment also have the
monitoring symbol for building products
(e.g., parquet and wooden floors)
corresponding to the health and safety
guidelines set by the German Institute for
Structural Engineering.
17
Zweihorn® oils & waxes…
...made from natural
raw materials.
Our natural products have the Seal
of Approval for health-aware and
environmentally-conscious
materials and furniture awarded by
the Institut für Baubiologie
Rosenheim (Institute for Building
Biology in Rosenheim). 18

“Passion for wood“

19
Sikkens® coating systems…
...are designed for wood as a
sustainable material.
The claim “Passion for wood“ at Sikkens Wood Coatings
represents the fervour with which we work with wood
as a natural product. As a material, wood gives people
a feeling of well-being and also has excellent qualities
for sustainability that Sikkens Wood Coatings supports.
Wood binds CO², is very durable, has good insulating
capacity and can even produce energy at the end of its
life cycle.
20
Sikkens® coating systems…
…are up to approx. 95% waterthinnable and still offer longstanding protection.
The majority of our product range is composed of
water-thinnable coating systems that greatly reduce
VOC emissions and still offer long-standing wood
protection.
21
Sikkens® Longlife quality chain…
…ensures that developers can
receive a 12-year surface warranty. The warranty concept is designed so that wooden doors
and windows last longer with targeted care. For this, we take into account the whole manufacturing
process from wood selection to fitting and user care.

Conclusions
Sustainability is business and business is sustainability
