Dedication to sustainability
At Bona, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. To be the best company we can be, we know that we must do what we can to protect our environment, and help make the world a better place.

Waterborne finish
We introduced the first waterborne wood floor finish technology to help improve the environment for both contractors and homeowners. Our low VOC formulas limit toxic fumes emitted so there's no need to vacate the home during the renovation process.

Dust-free sanding
Bona dust containment systems make refinishing wood floors clean and safe by reducing airborne dust by up to 99.8%. (Traditional wood floor finishing methods can produce wood dust particle counts of 200 times over the OSHA limit.)

Green certificates
Bona products carry various third-party green certifications. Globally, our products are GREENGUARD Gold Certified while select products are certified to be Safer Choice.

Ingredients
At Bona, we strive for complete transparency around the ingredients in our products. You will find them listed on each individual product page. However, we know there is room to be better so we are constantly working to develop safer formulas.

Safer for kids & pets
As babies learn to crawl or our furry friends nap on the floor, you can rest assured in Bona's commitment to formulating products that are safer around the most precious members of your family.

No animal testing
Developing our own proprietary formulas in our R&D labs around the world allows us to champion the ethical treatment of animals and commit to being cruelty-free.

Reusable materials
We reuse materials within our own production and design our products to reduce landfill clutter. The sustainable design of our Bona Microfiber Cleaning Pads are machine-washable up to 500 times, helping to protect our shared environment.

Refillable bottles
Our spray bottles and spray mop cartridges are easy to refill with our economy-size cleaners. This helps to eliminate unnecesary waste, save you money and just makes sense!
Reports and Certifications
We harness technical innovation to develop safer, healthy and sustainable products that our customers can trust. Bona's products meet the strict requirements of leading third-party certifications through the use of plant-derived ingredients, recyclable packaging, and low VOC emitting products.
100 Year Heritage
From the start of our company in 1919, a constant thread has woven the foundation of Bona. Our values of passion, performance and pioneering are present in everything we do from our products, company culture and sustainable business practices. It’s not only how we operate the business – it’s how we interact in the world.

GREENGUARD Certification
Bona's water-based floor finishes and cleaning products are GREENGUARD GOLD certified to GREENGUARD standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air during product usage.
