About Flügger / Corporation
Board of Directors
The Board is dedicated to overseeing the company’s overall development and ensuring transparency, risk management and competent sparring with the Executive Board.

ESG
At Flügger, we believe in the value of preserving and retaining rather than discarding in favour of new products. That is why we develop high-quality products that help extend the lifespan of materials and contribute to healthier indoor environments.
We also believe that colours make a difference. They can refresh, refine, reinforce, resize, reshape, and revolutionize. Colours help to set the mood in our homes and define our surroundings.
At Flügger, we appreciate all colours, but green is particularly close to our hearts – and has been for a long time. It reflects our long-standing commitment to sustainability, circular economy and responsible product development, all anchored in our Flügger Organic strategy.
Our Sustainability Goals
In 2024, Flügger launched the strategy Flügger Organic – Delivering sustainable value, which builds on our core belief in contributing to a greener industry. The strategy follows up on our previous Going Green initiative and marks the next step in our sustainable development – both from a business and environmental perspective.

Our ambition is to be the preferred choice for both professional painters and quality-conscious consumers by offering environmentally friendly and inspiring solutions. With the Flügger Organic strategy, we are expanding our climate efforts from production to the entire value chain.
We are committed to three key ESG targets by 2030 and 2050:
- 100% eco-labelled paint by 2030
- 95% of packaging with at least 50% recycled plastic by 2030
- CO2- neutral production by 2050
Read more about our strategy, how we work to realise our goals and what we have achieved so far in our latest annual report here.
Our Products, Packaging & Production
At Flügger, sustainability starts with our products – both the contents of the buckets and the packaging itself. 99 % of our sold liquid products are water-based, and over 80 % are certified with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel or the EU Ecolabel. But we do not stop here – we continuously work to improve the environmental and health profile of our products year by year.
We are also committed to reducing the environmental and climate impact of our production. That is why we are working to reduce CO₂ emissions from our factories, decrease wastewater volumes, and ensure that as much of our waste as possible is recycled. At our factory in Kolding, for example, wastewater is cleansed and reused, while our plastics plant in Sweden recycles production waste directly.
Our Social Responsibility
At Flügger, sustainability is also about people. We strive to be a workplace where employees thrive, grow professionally and feel free to be themselves. That’s why we focus on well-being, mental health, skills development and diversity throughout the organisation.
We also support initiatives that make a positive impact on society. With a long history of contributing to charitable causes, we engage in partnerships where we can use our products, skills, or voice to help create a more inclusive, colourful, and sustainable future.

Business Partners & Suppliers
Flügger’s Code of Conduct outlines our ambitions and requirements for working with suppliers and other business partners. It reflects our core values and strong commitment to economic, environmental and social sustainability.
Flügger supports the principles of the UN Global Compact and the ILO conventions, and has established a Code of Conduct applicable to all Flügger entities – including subsidiaries and suppliers.
In addition, we enforce a set of Sustainability Principles for Suppliers. These cover areas such as human rights, labour conditions, environmental responsibility, anti-corruption and regulatory compliance – and are integrated into our contracts. These standards are non-negotiable, but we maintain them through constructive dialogue and long-term cooperation with suppliers – for the mutual benefit of all parties in our value chain.

Environment & Quality
Flügger is on an extensive journey to become a more environmentally and energy-conscious manufacturer of paint related products.
Flügger's development
Our journey began in 1978, when Flügger built a new production facility in Kolding, Denmark, designed exclusively for the manufacture of water-based paints – one of the first of its kind in Europe.
Part of the journey involved replacing heavy metal-based pigments with new alternatives that maintained colour fastness and durability for outdoor use.

In 2005, our facilities in Kolding and Bollebygd (Sweden) achieved ISO 14001 certification, followed by our Gdansk factory in 2011 and our lab and procurement functions in Rødovre (DK) in 2021.
In recent years, our focus has shifted to reducing biocides and enhancing the health and environmental profiles of our products. Today, most of our indoor paints carry the Nordic Swan or EU Ecolabel.
We aim for full product transparency – often going beyond legal requirements – so customers know exactly what’s inside. Our priorities are quality, expertise and customer satisfaction, supported by sustainable production and clear communication.
Quality & Environmental Policy
Flügger develops, produces and sells high-quality paint solutions for both professional and private customers. Our work is driven by innovation, expertise and responsibility – ensuring that our products and operations support a more sustainable future.
