Sustainability | About Bostik

At Bostik, the adhesive solutions segment of Arkema, we are profoundly convinced that adhesives have an essential role to play to help build a world that is more sustainable.

Be it by allowing objects to last longer, to better insulate, to fix instead of replacing, to reduce size and weight, or make recycling easier, we believe adhesive solutions can help drastically reduce the impact of many of our world’ industries, and of many of the objects that make up our daily environment.

Our goal is to reduce our impact and increase our positive contribution, through our products, our practices, and our societal commitment.

Using a framework developed by our parent company Arkema anchored in the UN’s Development Goals, we systematically evaluate our adhesive solutions so that a growing proportion contributes to the emergence of a more circular economy and a more sustainable world.

CONTRIBUTING TO UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Our strategic contributions include our R&D efforts to develop innovative materials to increase our positive impact, our safety, environmental footprint and diversity commitments: here, we strive to reduce our negative impacts, notably by decreasing our production facilities’ carbon emissions and our commitments to diversity and responsible procurement.

Our Group is committed to shrinking our corporate environmental footprint by reducing our direct greenhouse gas emissions by 46% by 2030, compared to 2019 (scope 1, 2 & 3). In this way, we are on a trajectory aligned with the Paris Agreement to contain global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
