How Evonik uses Ideas to create the Future.

Evonik is one providing innovative solutions that help to make our lives more sustainable, more healthy, and more comfortable. 

Sustainibility is part of our corporate thinking and action, and it’s firmly embedded in our DNA as a company. We want to grow sustainably and find solutions to pressing future challenges for and with our customers.

Sustainability is a key component of our performance pledge “Power to create” and an integral part of our corporate strategy. We take on responsibility—for our business, our employees, the environment, and society. For Evonik as a globally operating specialty chemicals company, business responsibility and long-term business success are two sides of the same coin. That can be seen in our customers’ growing demand for our products and services, which maintain an excellent balance between economic, environmental, and social factors. Thanks to our innovative strength and technological leadership, we enable our customers to offer energy-efficient and resource-conserving solutions. The areas of application range from consumer goods for daily use to healthcare products, animal nutrition, and industrial applications such as energy-saving tires, wind turbines, high-performance lubricants, and lightweight construction.

Our challenges

The world’s population is growing, and people in general are growing older than ever before. This is good news. But these developments are also generating new questions in many modern societies. There is a growing need for high-quality food, care products, and medical care. How can we provide healthy food for a world in which an estimated more than nine billion people will be living in 2050? All over the globe, research and development workers, political decision makers, and business people are looking for answers and solutions for the world of tomorrow.

Our resources are limited, and this simple realization has finally sunk in. The need to deal responsibly with drinking water, renewable and fossil raw materials, and the climate has long since become the responsibility of society as a whole. We can’t afford to be satisfied with the progress that has been made so far. In order to safeguard our prosperity and our quality of life, the world has to reinvent itself and continually improve on the progress it has already achieved.

Free trade, global production chains, and social networking around the world—these developments have brought prosperity and growth to regions that were among the poorest in the world only a generation ago. At the same time, globalization is throwing current conditions into question. Shaping change, taking advantage of its opportunities, and achieving the best results for human beings is an immense challenge for businesses and governments.
