Support your green building goals with Bostik
Understanding green building certifications
Green building certifications, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method), and WELL Building Standard, provide frameworks for designing and constructing buildings that prioritize environmental performance, health, and well-being. These systems evaluate key factors such as energy use, indoor air quality, materials selection, and the overall ecological footprint of a building project.
Bostik's role in sustainable construction
Bostik offers a range of adhesive and sealant solutions that align with green building criteria. Our products are formulated to meet stringent environmental standards, ensuring they contribute positively to building certifications.
- Low to ultra-low VOC emissions: many Bostik products are certified for low to ultra-low volatile organic compound emissions, with labels including A+, M1, EMICODE EC1 and EC1PLUS — all of which support better indoor air quality.
- Environmental product declarations (EPDs): transparent EPD documentation is available for many of our solutions, helping specifiers and project teams make informed, data-driven decisions.
- Bio-based products: as part of our innovation strategy, Bostik has developed several bio-based adhesives made with renewable raw materials. These help reduce reliance on fossil resources and potentially lower the overall CO₂ footprint over the product’s lifecycle.
- Recycled content and recyclability: Bostik also integrates recycled materials wherever possible in product formulations and packaging. In addition, several of our products are designed to be recyclable at the end of their life.
Choosing Bostik solutions and applying sustainable construction best practices can make a significant difference in meeting green building criteria and certification goals.
Why green building certification matters
In today’s construction landscape, green building certification is no longer a “nice-to-have” — it’s a strategic advantage. For building owners, developers, architects, and investors, certification signals a long-term commitment to environmental, economic, and social responsibility.
Certified buildings are more attractive to tenants, buyers, and end-users who increasingly demand sustainable, healthier spaces. Certification can enhance brand credibility, unlock access to funding or incentives, and support regulatory compliance across global markets.
Plus, as environmental regulations tighten and carbon accountability becomes mainstream, having third-party certified, future-ready buildings is a proactive way to stay ahead.
Partnering with Bostik means aligning with a company that understands these evolving demands. Our certified, low-impact products are designed to help you meet today’s green building standards — and tomorrow’s expectations.
