For us, sustainability means above all social, environmental and economic responsibility, which we as a company in the chemical industry take particularly seriously. Sustainable corporate development – with all its various aspects – is the yardstick for our decisions. In our partnership with Agaia Inc. we are channeling our efforts specifically and strategically in a further key measure to promote sustainability."
