ONE LANXESS, One Vision: Our Core Values, Policies and Compliance Organization

At LANXESS, our corporate culture is based on five core values:

  • Respect
  • Ownership
  • Trust
  • Professionalism and
  • Integrity.

These principles shape our work environment and guide our interactions with employees, customers and stakeholders. To bring these values to life, Formula X encourages solution-oriented thinking, teamwork and innovation. Diversity & Inclusion has been a priority since 2011, enhancing our competitiveness and employee development.

As a responsible corporate citizen, LANXESS follows strict compliance and governance standards. Our Code of Conduct ensures legal and ethical business practices, covering areas such as human rights, anti-corruption and data protection. To enforce these standards, we have a global compliance organization, led by the Group Compliance Officer, and offer a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week anonymous SpeakUp® system for reporting violations.

We are convinced that the principles of good governance must also apply in our collaboration with our business partners.
