Sustainability that makes a difference

At the ALTANA Group, we use specialty chemicals to make products better and more sustainable.

Sustainable growth requires clear values and people who live by them

The ALTANA Group is consistently focused on sustainable and profitable growth. For us, long-term economic success is inextricably linked to environmental and social responsibility. Both are firmly embedded in everything we do.

Our understanding of sustainability is based on a clear triad: economy, ecology, and social responsibility. We leverage our expertise in chemistry, formulation, and application to develop innovative solutions that make everyday products better and more sustainable.

Our greatest lever: better products

Our greatest contribution to sustainability lies in our products and those of our customers. We work on this every day—with ideas, experience, and a sense of responsibility.

At the same time, we aim to operate with almost zero greenhouse gas emissions worldwide by 2050. Our goal: a 90% reduction in emissions across the entire value chain.

We are well on our way: Since 2014, we have reduced greenhouse gas emissions within our direct sphere of influence by approximately 56%—despite growth and acquisitions.
