Further Elements of Sustainability

Why sustainability is part of Evonik's self-image – and what this means in concrete terms for our company and our stakeholders.

Sustainability is integrated into our strategic management process. We regard our sustainability management as an important basis for maintaining and extending Evonik’s resilience and market success in the long term. Our sustainable corporate strategy with its ambitious targets and management instruments, which help us translate transformation requirements into profitable growth, makes a key contribution to this.

The sustainability analysis supports our operating units in the development of their businesses or products in the respective markets. It complements our strategic business analyses and identifies opportunities and risks in the value chain.

In 2025, we pursued our Next Generation Culture initiative, with the aim of encouraging employees to take an active role in shaping our corporate culture.

The Evonik Social Network Community provides its members with regular updates on developments and actions. This platform promotes networking as well as enhancing the visibility of new actions and special events. A series of videos served to highlight the importance of the human factor as a critical element in our sustainability transformation.

In the future, we will continue to focus on established topics that enable us to address and further strengthen the community on an ongoing basis.

We evaluated actual and potential positive and negative impacts of our business on our area of activity (inside-out perspective) and the impact of external factors on our business activities (outside-in perspective).
