Give to Gain - When Women Rise, We All Win
“Give to Gain.” Three simple words - yet they capture something powerful about how progress truly happens. This year’s International Women’s Day motto reminds us that when we invest in our people, we all benefit. At Sika, this belief is deeply rooted in how we think, act, and grow together. That is why People & Culture is a core pillar of our Strategy 2028. On the occasion of International Women’s Day, March is dedicated to our strong women at Sika. Throughout the month, we are spotlighting inspiring women from across the globe who have built impressive careers within our company. Different regions. Different cultures. Different journeys. But they share something powerful: each has built a remarkable career, taken on responsibility, and makes a meaningful contribution to our success. Their stories embody what “Give to Gain” truly means: When women grow, lead, and shape the future of Sika, we all gain!
What “Give to Gain” means at Sika
For us, “giving” means creating opportunities: empowering women across all levels, functions, and regions, and fostering a culture where diverse voices and perspectives truly matter. And the “gain”? It’s tangible. When we invest in women, we strengthen engagement, innovation, and resilience. Diversity of thought is not abstract; it drives profitability, innovation, and long-term growth. It is a competitive advantage!
Creating balance in a traditionally male-dominated industry
As a company operating in technical and traditionally male-dominated fields, we know balance requires intention. That’s why we actively work toward stronger gender representation, particularly where women have historically been underrepresented. From targeted traineeship programs to flexible working models, we aim not only to attract talent, but to retain it, develop it, and help it thrive. As our CEO Thomas Hasler says:“Women leaders often bring different lived experiences and perspectives, which reduces groupthink and leads to more balanced, thoughtful decisions.” That’s a gain - for our teams, for Sika, and for our long-term success.
Give to Gain - all together
International Women’s Day is a moment to reflect - and to act. By continuing to invest in our women, inclusion, and culture, we don’t just give opportunities. We gain stronger teams, better ideas, and a future built on shared success. That’s what “Give to Gain” means to us at Sika and it is our way of saying THANK YOU - to everyone who supports, values, and makes the impact of women across our organization visible.
