Over AkzoNobel

AkzoNobel is a major industrial company – a leading supplier of paints and coatings and a key global producer of specialty chemicals. Our business is based on three core principles – Safety, Integrity and Sustainability – and we exist to develop, produce and deliver breakthrough, sustainable solutions for our customers and society as a whole. Our offering encompasses well-known brands such as Flexa, Sikkens and Alabastine and Jozo salt.

All our beliefs and activities come together in our Human Cities initiative. By the 2050s, more than 75 percent of the world’s population will live in cities. Given that 60 percent of our products are in the buildings, infrastructure and transportation end-user segments, AkzoNobel will have an important influence on the ongoing process of urban transformation. As a responsible company, it’s therefore our intention to use our expertise so that city life becomes more energizing, inspiring and vibrant for people across the world. We want to go beyond the purely functional aspects by helping cities and their citizens to connect on an emotional level. In this way we are helping cities across the world to focus on issues including color, heritage, transport, sport, education, and sustainability.
