Evonik Sustainability Reports

Evonik's Contribution to UN SDGs

Our Sustainability Approach

Our sustainability approach is based on two pillars: continuous improvement within our operations and ongoing development of products and technologies that support changing customer and market requirements across the value chain.

Operational Know-How

We pursue continuous improvements in resource efficiency and operational performance across our production processes.

Examples include initiatives related to waste reduction, process optimization and the use of renewable electricity at selected production sites.

Products and Technologies

We develop products and technologies designed to address evolving customer, regulatory and market requirements.

Examples include low-emission products, technologies with low global warming potential (GWP), solutions designed to support extended service life, and products based on renewable or recycled feedstocks.

Our Ratings and Commitments

Evonik applies transparent, data-based methodologies to assess sustainability-related aspects of its business activities. In doing so, we consider environmental, social and economic factors to support a comprehensive assessment of sustainability performance.

Independent ratings provide external assessments of our sustainability management systems and support transparency across the value chain.

CDP

As part of its participation in the CDP Discloser 2024, Evonik was awarded an "A- for Climate" as well as a "B for Water Security" and a "B for Forest".

EcoVadis

As a founding member of the Together for Sustainability (TfS) initiative, Evonik drives forward transparency and sustainability in the supply chain and is subject to annual assessments.

In 2025, the EcoVadis rating agency, a partner of TfS, also awarded us gold status for our sustainability performance.

Morningstar Sustainalytics

An analysis by the Morningstar Sustainalytics rating agency ranks Evonik’s sustainability performance among the top 5 percent of the roughly 600 chemical companies evaluated.

Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) has awarded Evonik an AA rating for its sustainability performance. Evonik is therefore in the leader category. We scored particularly highly on corporate governance.

Evonik aims to be climate neutral by 2050 and is committed to meeting the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) standards.
Our reduction targets are therefore in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. For scope 1 and 2 emissions, we are aiming for a 25% reduction in emissions by 2030 compared with 2021 emission levels.
