Forbo is a leading producer of floor coverings, building and construction adhesives, as well as belts for power transmission and lightweight conveyor technology.
We are dedicated to protecting the environment, fostering social equity, and embedding sustainability into every facet of our business. Our dedication continues to shape a more sustainable future. By aligning sustainability with our economic targets, we ensure long-term growth, resilience, and value creation for both our stakeholders and society.
At Forbo, we design, source, and manufacture with the environment in mind. Minimizing our environmental footprint is a top priority. Both divisions optimize production processes to cut water and energy use, to lower emissions, to recover and reuse process heat, and to reduce and recycle materials. Transparent product data and certifications substantiate our progress. While we acknowledge the milestones already achieved, we recognize that sustainability is a continuous journey. That is why our roadmap targets carbon neutrality by 2050.
At Forbo, acting responsibly, ethically, and within the law is at the heart of everything we do. Our corporate culture, shaped by the Forbo Values and our Code of Conduct, drives our commitment to employees, stakeholders, and communities worldwide. We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring workplace, while also making a tangible positive impact through social and environmental initiatives across the globe.
Our initiatives focus on creating fair and safe working environments, promoting diversity and inclusion, supporting local communities, and contributing to equitable economic development. In doing so, we align our business operations and activities with global sustainability standards and stakeholder expectations. We reaffirm our commitment to health, equality, decent work, reduced inequalities, and collaborative impact across our operations and communities.
Sustainability governance at Forbo provides a consistent framework across our divisions while allowing for division-specific implementation. Global sustainability management is anchored in the Global Strategy and Business Development functions of the divisions, supported by dedicated sustainability structures. Clear Sustainability roadmaps, regular progress reviews, and monthly executive-level decision-making ensure consistent implementation, accountability, and alignment with the Group's sustainability targets.
The Forbo Code of Conduct sets out our most important business principles and basic values. The Code of Conduct is central to the way we protect and develop our reputation. It is built on the principles of integrity, transparency and fairness and describes how we are to behave.
The Code of Conduct not only ensures but goes beyond compliance with the laws and regulations wherever we run our business.
It demonstrates our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in every situation while at the same time respecting people’s rights as individuals. We expect this of every single employee, everywhere, every day. We also expect this of all our business partners. High standards in our relationships are the foundation for lasting success.
