Principles ALTANA

For ALTANA, environmental protection and workplace safety are fundamental corporate objectives equal in status to the achievement of economic targets.

In our Principles and Objectives we state:

We aim to act on our own responsibility to ensure that our products and working methods do not harm people or the environment.

The need to strive for economic success must not under any circumstances prevent action in this direction which is prescribed by law or which we consider to be important. We want to create secure jobs and good working conditions for our employees.

To this end ALTANA has defined group-wide environmental and safety standards. These standards are based mainly on the Responsible Care initiative of the chemical industry.

ALTANA attaches great importance to uniform, group-wide compliance with environmental and safety standards. To this end all companies and subsidiaries worldwide are committed to comply with the general principles contained in our Principles and Objectives and those arising from the Responsible Care initiative.
