We are committed to protecting the climate. Our goal is to minimize and avoid climate-damaging emissions as far as possible. To this end, we take into account the entire value chain from raw material use, energy generation and consumption as well as our own plant and synthesis processes through to the products, their transport and delivery as well as the recycling or disposal of products and raw materials.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

We are committed to responsible and comprehensive environmental protection and continually work to improve our environmental performance. We research and develop environmentally-friendly products and processes to avoid potential environmental impacts. We report publicly on our progress in this area.
