Memberships of associations
AkzoNobel’s membership of trade and industry associations globally can be divided into three broad categories: paints and coatings industry associations; business associations; and topical platforms (for example, sustainability related).
We want the associations we join to act in alignment with our company strategy, although we’re aware they take positions that represent their entire member community. We monitor association behavior and act when any misalignment with our interests occurs. We encourage stakeholders to bring any misalignment to our attention. More information about our approach to stakeholder engagement can be found in our Stakeholder Engagement Policy.
For reasons of transparency, this page features a selection of our 2024 memberships (based on activity and contribution) in our top ten markets, as well as in the EU and internationally.
