SUSTAINABILITY

WE ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY

We accept responsibility for our businesses, our employees, the environment and the society. For us, responsible action and economic success belong inseparably together. We began early on to anchor ecological and social criteria in our business decisions in order to pursue new, sustainable paths.

Good and responsible management of the company (Corporate Governance) is not only an important element of Evonik’s corporate philosophy, it is also a sustainability topic of high relevance.

VALUE CHAIN & PRODUCTS

Our approach to sustainability includes the entire value chain. We drive forward the transparency and sustainability of our suppliers and help our customers meet their sustainability targets. In collaboration with them, we want to develop further products and solutions for applications that are resource-efficient and environmentally compatible.

ENVIRONMENT

In the old days, a product was good if it was fit for purpose and the price was right. Today, its sustainability profile also has to be considered.
