On this page, we publish Evonik's policy papers to ensure sustainable action within the company.
ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE ISSUES
Climate change is one of the pressing global challenges that requires urgent and concerted action to mitigate its effects and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. At Evonik, we are taking on this challenge.
PROMOTING CIRCULAR ECONOMY; IMPROVING WASTE MANAGEMENT
Circular Economy is a systems approach involving industrial processes and economic
activities along the whole value chain that are restorative or regenerative by design,
aiming for a climate-neutral and resource-efficient economy by maintaining the value
of products, materials, and resources as long as possible.
PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE WATER PRACTICES
Water is crucial for the manufacturing of our products, but also as a medium along the production chain. In the chemical industry, water is used as a coolant and cleaning agent as well as a component of products. Against this backdrop, Evonik has long been committed to highly efficient water use and sustainable water use along our value chain, especially at its production sites.
PROMOTING SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE CHEMICALS
As a good corporate citizen, Evonik complies with statutory requirements as well as fulfils voluntary commitments that go beyond regulations. Material signals related to certain hazardous substances and regulatory trends are integrated into the Portfolio
Sustainability Assessment. For the responsible handling of chemicals, we pursue a holistic approach to the entire value chain of our products from the procurement of the raw materials to the delivery to our customers.
