Empowered People - Our People are the Key to Success

At LANXESS, empowering people is key to our success.
We focus on employee co-determination and engage in dialog with works councils and trade unions around the world to ensure compliance with labor standards and adapt to changes such as digitalization. Diversity and inclusion are cornerstones of our culture: We embrace a rich mix of skills and backgrounds from around the globe. Our commitment to diversity is reflected in our practices and policies, ensuring an inclusive work environment where all employees feel valued and included. We aim to retain 80% of our apprentices after succesful completion of their training, and we attract young talent through modern recruitment efforts, including global programs and digital tools.
