Beckers is First Coil Coatings Company to Receive GreenPro Certificate

Beckers Group is the first coil coating company to receive the GreenPro Certificate, a product certification given by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII-GBC), that recognizes Beckers’ Beckry®Therm paint systems as sustainable throughout their life cycle. The award ceremony took place at the annual Green Building Congress 2017, India’s flagship event on green building.

The certificate is valid for two years and can then be renewed; it aims to enable builders and architects to make an informed choice about sustainable products. During the approval process, the CII-GBC checked Beckers’ quality management system, pro-duction facilities and the product functionalities regarding their sustainability. The unique properties of Beckry®Therm to save energy with enhanced durability make the coating extremely suit-able for green building projects.

“It is a great honor to receive the GreenPro Certificate. We are proud to see that our continuous commitment to sustainability is rewarded and that we are the first paint manufacturer in the coil coatings industry to receive this certification,” says Rajesh Mehro-tra, Managing Director, Berger Becker Coatings India.

“Environmental responsibility is an integral part of our company. We aim to shape our society’s sustainable development and the GreenPro Certificate is an important milestone in Beckers’ journey towards a more sustainable world,” adds Chetan Prakash, Vice President, R&D and Works, Berger Becker Coatings India.

The GreenPro Certificate is product-specific. Beckers Group received the certificate for BeckryTherm PVDF and BeckryTherm SDP.
