A presentation by Dr. Ralf Kelle

Head of Sustainability Strategy at Evonik

Why sustainability is a matter of principle for Evonik—and what it means for Evonik and its stakeholders.

The publication is an excerpt from the Sustainability Report 2020. It contains information on the (sub)targets of the SDGs relevant to the Evonik Group: good health and well-being, clean water and sanitation, responsible consumption & production and climate action.

In constant exchange with our stakeholders and considering the results of our materiality analysis and the Sustainable Development Goals we have developed our Sustainability Strategy.

Our sustainability analysis helps our operational units develop their businesses and products in the relevant markets. It supplements our strategic business analyses and identifies opportunities and risks along the value chain.

At Evonik we deal with the effects of our own business activities. For this purpose we regularly measure and analyze the direct and indirect impacts of our business activities from an economic, ecological and social perspective.

In this publication we inform about how Evonik came through the global pandemic in 2020. We are not only looking back, but we are also looking to a future that will bring changes caused by the pandemic.

Evonik uses renewable raw materials responsibly and supports the use of sustainable palm oil in the supply chain. The following recommendations focus on sustainable sourcing and the responsible use of palm oil, palm kernel oil, and their derivatives.

Good and responsible management of the company (Corporate Governance) is not only an important element of Evonik’s corporate philosophy, it is also a sustainability topic of high relevance.

Protecting the climate and the environment is one of the key global challenges of our time. It is part of our corporate obligation to preserve the natural foundations of life for future generations.

People who want to make a difference can find a variety of global career and development opportunities at Evonik. We promise our employees: “Exploring Opportunities. Growing together.“
