Bona® has published its 2025 Sustainability Report. The report outlines progress across Bona’s three sustainability pillars – Respect our Planet, Care for People, and Trusted Business – and highlights the continued integration of sustainability into all aspects of its operations.
“Our business is built on extending the life of existing flooring materials and reducing the need for replacement,” says Lidija Broström, interim chief executive officer at Bona. “At Bona, we are making steady progress in reducing our impact while building a stronger foundation for the future. By working closely with our partners, we aim to drive meaningful change across our value chain and contribute to a more sustainable future.”
In 2025, Bona reduced total Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions (market-based) by 46 percent compared to its 2022 baseline, reaching 1,338 tons of CO₂—surpassing its 2025 target. At the same time, the company improved energy efficiency, lowering total energy consumption to 11,777 MWh and reducing energy intensity to 456 kWh per ton of produced product, despite higher sales volumes. Renewable energy accounted for 67.65 percent of total consumption, supported by initiatives such as solar panels, geothermal heating, electric vehicles, and renewable electricity certificates.
Bona completed a screening of Scope 3 emissions and strengthened engagement with key material and transport suppliers. A new supplier evaluation process, covering 70 percent of purchases in 2025, supports responsible sourcing and transparency. In parallel, Bona progressed work on more efficient global transport solutions and initiated a climate transition plan, expected to be adopted in 2026.
Innovation remained central to Bona’s sustainability strategy. During the year, the company launched bio-based wood and hard surface floor cleaners in EMEA and APAC, helping reduce reliance on fossil-based inputs while maintaining high performance standards.
The report also highlights life cycle assessment work conducted by the IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute for the German market shows that refinishing hard flooring surfaces can reduce CO₂ emissions by an average of 83–89 percent compared to replacement.
Bona also continued to expand its environmental and social impact. Through its collaboration with WeForest, the company supports ecosystem restoration around the Tietê River in Brazil, with 17.82 hectares reforested to date, contributing to biodiversity and local communities.
These efforts were recognized externally, with Bona receiving the 2025 Sustainability – Best Practice (Manufacturer) award from European Cleaning Journal.
