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.
