The Eco Protection Logo takes it essence from our strong belief of preserving the ecosystem by providing durable and innovative solutions with the LOW-VOC products we proudly produce.
The globe icon stands for ourcommitment to protect the earth as a whole while the vivid colors (gre, blue, orange) provide a healthy and sustainable surrounding.
Why Eco Protection
Throughout the world, we see an increasing awareness towards sustainability. This topic is more and more influencing the purchasing behavior of consumers and also the way corporations run their business. In line with this trends, we see an increasing demand for paint concepts that give a positive contribution towards a more sustainable environment.
In Europe, we even see that different laws have been implemented to ensure a more sustainable living. For example, there are guidelines specific for coatings which indicate what the maximum VOC levels allowed for each product are.
Besides the legislations part in Europe, we also see more and more an increase in building specifications that promotes a total “green” concept. This means that not only building materials which are used meet the required ecological standards, but also the way and the location of the building. Inline with these concepts, there are different independent organizations such as LEED, Green Seal and MPI that give guidelines regarding VOC levels in paints.
Being Part of PPG, the world’s largest coatings company, Sigma Paints follows profound ecological ethics and continues to honor its global responsibility. We are pioneers in introducing many of the innovations that lessen adverse impact on our planet.
Therefore, Sigma Paints has developed the “ECO-Protection” logo in its quest to provide durable and innovative solutions to our living environment. When this logo is used on our products it indicates that it meets the specific VOC criteria set by the most commonly used legislation.
This logo can be found on the label and the technical datasheet of those specific products. This makes it easy for architects, consultants and contractors to select our products.
We operate in line with the company’s honorable heritage which dates back to over 3 centuries, balancing a successful business whilst promoting initiatives to secure a sustainable environment.
