We want to contribute to a world that provides a viable future with enhanced quality of life for everyone. We do so by creating chemistry for our customers and society and by making the best use of available resources.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a central component of our strategy. We remain committed to climate protection targets and support our customers in the green transformation with innovative products and processes.

Humanity is facing major challenges such as climate change and dwindling natural resources. Chemistry can make a more sustainable future possible.

Our goal is profitable growth through innovations that make our customers successful. Our solutions help to use raw materials more efficiently and protect the environment.

We also see this as the main driver of our profitable growth: our aim is for customers to be successful in their respective markets thanks to our innovations. Our products, solutions and technologies help to protect the environment and the climate by helping to use raw materials more efficiently, reduce waste and enable healthy, affordable food and climate-friendly mobility. By providing our customers with the best solutions and processes, we also want to grow profitably and create value for our customers.

Chemistry for a sustainable future

We understand sustainability as an integral part of our strategy, goals, governance processes, and business models. We remain firmly committed to our climate protection goals in the future as well. Our ambition goes beyond the green transformation of our own production: since our key customer industries face enormous challenges in achieving their transformation goals, we aim to be the preferred paints and chemical company that enables the green transformation of our customers through our diverse portfolio and our product and process innovations.

Enabling the green transformation of our customers

Our ambition is to be the preferred chemical company to enable the green transformation of our customers. With our diversified portfolio and our product and process innovations, we want to grow profitably and create value for our customers. At the same time, we are driving the change towards a stronger performance culture. We integrate sustainability aspects into our strategy, our business and our valuation, management and remuneration systems. This principle is also anchored in our corporate purpose: We create paints for a sustainable future.
