About Flügger / Corporation
Board of Directors, Executive Board & Leadership Team
According to Flügger’s Articles of Association, in addition to employee-elected board members, the Board of Directors consists of a minimum of three and a maximum of eight board members elected by the General Meeting, who are elected for one year at a time. Resigning members may be re-elected.
In Flügger, it is customary to have four board members elected by the general meeting and two elected by the employees. In the composition of the Board of Directors, the aim is that two or three of the four members elected by the general meeting are independent of the company, the main shareholder and significant supplier or customer interests, and that one member represents the main shareholder. The total remuneration of the Board of Directors is stated in the Annual Report.

CSR
Sustainability at Flügger
At Flügger, we believe in the value of preserving and retaining rather than discarding in favour of new products. That is why we develop high-quality products that extend the life of materials. We also believe that colours make a difference.
They can refresh, refine, reinforce, resize, reshape, and revolutionize.
Colours help to set the mood in our homes and define our surroundings. At Flügger, we appreciate all colours, but green in particular is important to us – and has been for a long time.
Our Sustainability Goals
In the summer of 2024, Flügger launched the strategy ‘Flügger Organic – Delivering sustainable value’, which continues the company’s fundamental commitment to be ‘co-creators of a greener industry’. Flügger Organic builds on our previous strategy, Going Green, and marks the next step in our sustainable development – both commercially and environmentally.
Our ambition is to be the preferred choice of painters and quality-oriented private consumers by providing environmentally friendly and inspiring solutions. With the Flügger Organic strategy, we are raising the ambition level and expanding our climate efforts from production to the entire value chain.
We are committed to three main goals:
- To produce 100% eco-labelled paint by 2030
- 95% of packaging is made from 50% recycled plastic by 2030
- Achieve carbon-neutral production by 2050
We are working towards 2030 with a number of targets within the three strategic areas Paint, Packaging and Value Chain. We have already come a long way on our sustainability journey – but there is still a lot we can do.
Read more about our strategy, how we work to realise our goals and what we have achieved so far in our latest CSR report here.
Our Products, Packaging and Production
At Flügger, sustainability starts with our products – both the contents of the buckets and the packaging itself. 99 % of our sold liquid products are water-based, and over 80 % are certified with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel or the EU Ecolabel. But we do not stop here – year after year, we continue to improve the environmental and health profile of our products.
We also have a responsibility to minimize the environmental and climate impact of our production. That is why we are working to reduce CO₂ emissions from our factories, decrease wastewater volumes, and ensure that as much of our waste as possible is recycled.
Our Social Responsibility
Sustainability at Flügger also means caring for our people. We strive to be a workplace where our employees thrive, develop, and enjoy good working conditions – where everyone feels they can be themselves.
We also support initiatives that make a positive impact on society. With a long history of contributing to charitable causes, we engage in partnerships where we can use our products, skills, or voice to help create a more inclusive, colourful, and sustainable future.
Diversity Policies
Diversity Statement in accordance with section 107d of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Diversity Policies
At Flügger, we believe that a diverse workplace and an inclusive work environment are valuable assets. We recognize and appreciate the differences among our employees, knowing that diverse teams—including leadership groups—drive innovation, make better decisions, and foster new ways of thinking. At the same time, diversity promotes inclusiveness and tolerance among our employees, strengthening our overall work culture.
Flügger is committed to being a responsible workplace that recruits, promotes, and develops employees based on their skills while supporting diversity. We strive to ensure that our recruitment, employment conditions, promotions, and, if necessary, dismissals are conducted without regard to gender, sexual orientation, age, nationality, physical abilities, disability, political views, ethnicity, family status, religious beliefs, or any other ideology.
At Flügger, we report the gender distribution on the Board of Directors and other management levels in accordance with Section 99b of the Danish Financial Statements Act in connection with our annual statuary reporting. For further data, please refer to our latest annual report.
How We Work with Diversity at Flügger
We continuously strive to ensure diversity both at the leadership level and across all employee groups.
Our approach is guided by the following principles:
- Flügger is a workplace that offers equal opportunities for all in a safe and non-discriminatory work environment.
- We aim for a minimum of 40 % representation of both men and women in our leadership levels. To achieve this, we focus on equal opportunities and ensure that candidates of all genders are considered when recruiting new leaders.
- We comply with Danish and international standards regarding human rights and equality laws, ensuring fair and equal employment and working conditions regardless of gender, ethnic origin, religion, or other personal circumstances.
- We do not tolerate bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination, offensive behaviour, or threats. To prevent such issues, we provide ongoing training to employees, minimizing the risk of behaviour that violates this policy.
- We strive for a diverse workforce that combines both young and experienced employees, working together to inspire and contribute to the development of Flügger.
- As needed, and at least once a year, the Board of Directors of Flügger reviews the diversity policy and makes revisions if necessary.
Diversity Policy in Flügger’s Leadership Team: Goals and Results 2023/24
In accordance with Section 107d of the Danish Financial Statements Act, Flügger has defined diversity targets for the composition of the group’s Board of Directors, Executive Board, and overall workforce.
Board of Directors
When appointing the members elected by the general meeting, Flügger focuses on diversity as well as the skills and experience of its members. The aim is to achieve a balanced gender representation and ensure that the board possesses key competencies within Flügger’s core and strategic focus areas.
To ensure that the group’s Board of Directors consists of the right profiles and competencies, Flügger has set targets for gender representation and member status (dependent/independent). We aim for a Board where all genders are represented and where at least 50 % of the members are independent. We believe this creates a foundation for strong discussions, diverse perspectives, and valuable input on how we run and develop our business while addressing challenges effectively.
Results in 2023/24:
1)
For the Board of Directors elected by the general meeting, Flügger aims for a representation of the underrepresented gender of at least 40 % (40/60%). In 2023/24, with one woman and three men among the four general meeting-elected members, we have, according to the Danish Business Authority’s definition, achieved a balanced gender distribution on the board (25%/75%).
2)
At least half of the board members elected by the general meeting must be independent, in accordance with the Danish recommendations on Corporate Governance. We comply with this recommendation, as two out of the four board members elected by the general meeting are independent.
Executive Board
The Executive Board of Flügger consists of three members, with the company’s majority shareholder, Ulf Schnack, historically holding one of the positions. The remaining two positions are held by the CEO and CFO. Flügger has chosen not to set specific diversity targets for the Executive Board, as we prioritize candidates’ insight, experience, and competencies.
Other Management and Overall Workforce
Flügger aims for a gender composition in other management levels and the overall workforce where the underrepresented gender constitutes at least 40% (40/60%), aligning with the objective for the composition of the Board of Directors.
Results in 2023/24:
As of April 30, 2024, Flügger is close to achieving its goal for the underrepresented gender in other management levels. In the 2023/24 fiscal year, we introduced recruitment principles and guidelines that further support Flügger’s diversity objectives and policy.
Business Partners & Suppliers
Flügger’s Code of Conduct outlines our ambitions and requirements for collaborations with suppliers and partners.
Flügger’s values reflect a strong commitment to economic, environmental, and social sustainability.
As a result, we adhere to the principles of the United Nations Global Compact and have established a Code of Conduct for Flügger group A/S, its subsidiaries, and partners.
This set of requirements is non-negotiable, and each of our suppliers must comply. Our intention is to uphold these standards through constructive dialogue and collaboration – ensuring mutual benefit.
Environment & Quality
Flügger is on an extensive journey to become a more environmentally and energy-conscious manufacturer of paint related products.
Flügger's Development
The journey began in the 1970s when Flügger built a new factory in Kolding, designed exclusively for the production of water-based paints.
Part of the journey involved replacing heavy metal-based pigments with new alternatives that maintained colour fastness and durability for outdoor use.
In 2005, production facilities in Kolding (Denmark) and Bollebygd (Sweden) was ISO 14001 certified, followed by the certification of the Gdansk (Poland) facility in 2011. Most recently, in 2021, Flügger’s laboratory and procurement functions in Rødovre (Denmark) also achieved certification.
In recent years, the focus has been on reducing the amount of biocides in our products. Most of our indoor-use products now carry the Ecolabel, providing consumers with an objective measure of potential health risks associated with their use.
Flügger is committed to labelling and declaring our products transparently, ensuring that our customers know exactly what they contain—even when this requires providing more information than legally mandated.
In addition to Nordic Swan-labelled products and environmentally responsible production methods, Flügger prioritizes customer satisfaction by delivering expert craftsmanship and high-quality products.
Quality and Environmental Policy
Flügger develops, produces, and sells innovative paint solutions for both professional and private customers.
Our strategy emphasizes our responsibility to build and maintain a socially and economically sustainable business.
To meet this responsibility, Flügger will:
- Comply with the laws and regulations in all the countries where we operate.
- Maintain a high ethical standard in accordance with Flügger's Code of Conduct.
- Engage with an open and transparent attitude toward those affected by Flügger's activities.
- Respond to inquiries from external stakeholders and communicate with all parties in a professional and respectful manner.
Management
Quality and the environment are key focus areas for Flügger, and we continuously work on optimizations and improvements at all levels of the organization.
Our management priorities are:
- High-quality, environmentally friendly, and primarily water-based in-house produced products.
- Customer health protection by maintaining product approvals through voluntary certifications such as the Ecolabel and the Nordic Swan.
- Optimizations through projects that enhance customer satisfaction.
- Projects that, over time, will reduce the environmental impact of our products and processes.
- Involvement of employees, selected suppliers, and relevant stakeholders in these priority projects.
- Continuous improvement of production processes through the application of LEAN principles.
