Strategic CR Objectives


Objective	Status
Dimension: The business
CR plays a central role in enabling Evonik to turn megatrends into opportunities, innovations and successful business prospects.	Innovative research and development (R&D) in Science-to-Business Centers, project houses, and business units generates new products and processes. Examples are lithium-ion technology, plastics made from sugar and efficient processes that reduce pressure on the environment. → CR Report pages 17–19 R&D facts: 350 new patent applications were submitted in 2008, positioning Evonik among the leading specialty chemicals companies. The Evonik Group has 350 cooperation agreements with universities, involving annual investment of €15 million.
Dimension: Employees
CR is integrated into vocational training and further education and into the objectives agreed with staff.	Trainees receive training in the Code of Conduct. → see CR Report page 25 A special CR training module is being developed for trainees. Pilot projects are scheduled to start at two sites in 2010 at the latest.
CR dominates Evonik’s corporate culture, is implemented by all employees within their field of influence and fosters their creativity and innovative capacity.	Evonik has adopted a Global Social Policy. All employees now have a full and binding framework for their activities comprising the Code of Conduct, Global Social Policy and the Environment, Safety and Health (ESH) Values. → see CR Report page 26 ff
Dimension: Processes
All business units control and measure their contribution to CR through key performance indicators (KPI).	Evonik compiles extensive data on the environment, safety and health and sets targets for these areas. → see CR Report page 26 ff The Group has identified eight indicators to measure HR performance. → see CR Report page 34 The "Responsibility for Employees and Society" survey provides a basis for defining and updating KPIs. → see CR Report page 15
