Why People. Planet. Paint. is our beating heart

AkzoNobel has a long and proud heritage. Throughout our history, we’ve made things happen. We’ve always evolved and expanded our horizons.

Some things, however, have always remained constant. Like being an employer of choice. A responsible global citizen. A pioneer. That’s our bedrock. The foundations of what we stand for. So we have a truly meaningful purpose, with People. Planet. Paint. as our beating heart.



We’re ideally placed to demonstrate our passion for bringing genuine benefits to society and the world we live in. How? By using our pioneering spirit and centuries of paints and coatings expertise to make a real impact. By delivering the sustainable and innovative solutions that our customers, communities – and the planet – are increasingly relying on.

So there’s a deeper, wider meaning to People. Planet. Paint. It’s not only about doing business sustainably. It touches everything we do


Here’s how each element is designed to contribute in its own way:

It’s also a hallmark of our moral duty. Our commitment to future generations. It’s a promise that we’ll keep innovating to address key global issues. If we can, we’ll find a way. We have the courage and the belief. That’s why we’ve set ourselves science-based targets.

People. Planet. Paint. is our reason for being. It excites us. It challenges us. It’s about making a genuine and lasting difference so we can remain at the forefront of our industry.
