On January 8th, Shanghai Ailu and Sika Davco signed a sustainable strategic cooperation agreement at the newly completed intelligent factory No. 3 of Shanghai Ailu in Shanghai, marking the entry of both parties into a new stage of all-round strategic cooperation.
Converging Missions, Expanding the Boundaries of Cooperation
As a brand under the Sika Group, a world-renowned leader in the global specialty chemicals field and a member of the Hurun Global 500, Sika Davco has created a number of well-received products in the domestic building decoration materials field over the past 30 years. For a long time, through continuous innovation and mutual learning of best practices, a consensus on sustainable development has been established between Shanghai Ailu and Sika Davco to build a more environmentally friendly, responsible, and resilient global supply chain network. This consensus has paved the way for their joint journey.
Shanghai Ailu is committed to providing downstream brand owners with environmentally friendly packaging solutions that reduce carbon emissions throughout the entire supply chain. It continuously improves the emission reduction path from raw material selection, research and development, manufacturing, transportation, use, to product packaging recycling or reuse.
The product carbon footprint calculation platform developed in collaboration with professional institutions by Shanghai Ailu was officially launched at the end of 2024, enabling the tracking of the carbon footprint of its entire product series and providing effective data support for the development of green products.
In terms of actively addressing climate change, the company has completed the submission of its commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and will formulate feasible carbon reduction targets across the entire value chain to achieve dual reductions in carbon emissions from its own operations and the value chain.
Innovative Synergy, Advancing to New Heights of Sustainability
Achieving a transition to net-zero emissions requires the joint efforts of the entire industry chain. With this cooperation upgrade, both parties will fully leverage their respective technological and resource advantages, share benefits mutually, and further expand the value chain collaborative ecosystem. Together, they will bring demonstrative effects and long-term value to the sustainable development of the industry.
