Food safety starts with the built environment. In this 20‑minute session, we will share how Sika partners with owners to design, evaluate, and maintain hygienic envelopes—flooring and roofing—aligned with EHEDG DOC 44 principles. We’ll translate the essentials into practice: seamless, durable, easy‑to‑clean floors with integrated drainage and correct falls; hygienically detailed joints and interfaces; and robust, watertight roofs that prevent infiltration and protect production from the outside in.

Building on this, we will show a simple, owner‑tested collaboration model, four pillars of support that scales from a single plant to global networks: (1) knowledge‑transfer workshops, (2) guideline/specification co‑development, (3) coordinated global project support with qualified local applicators, and (4) visual Facility Asset Management Evaluations for floors and roofs. These assessments use clear, traffic‑light outputs to prioritize actions, de‑risk hygiene, and optimize CAPEX sequencing, giving stakeholders comparable, decision‑ready insights across sites and regions.  

Attendees will leave with a pragmatic playbook for partnering with Sika: how to co‑create minimum, performance‑based specifications, roll out consistent evaluations, and extend asset life while safeguarding hygienic performance—whether for refurbishment or new build.
