This was already indicated by the motto of the Capital Markets Day. It was “Unlocking growth – longevity and circular economy in construction and industry”.
According to the globally active specialty chemicals group for construction and industry, increased requirements in terms of sustainability and the circular economy are changing the entire construction industry. “Climate change and the increasing scarcity of resources are megatrends that require sustainable, long-lasting solutions in construction,” Thomas Hasler, CEO of Sika, was quoted as saying in a press release on Capital Markets Day. Longevity brings ecological and economic benefits for both new buildings and renovation projects. “These positive aspects can be further enhanced by the use of recycled materials,” says Hasler. Sika is therefore “consistently aligning its own innovation strategy with these trends”. In addition, the Group has “a comprehensive portfolio of technologies that combine performance and sustainability”.
