Our purpose is the cornerstone of our performance pledge: “Leading beyond chemistry to improve life, today and tomorrow.” It can be traced back to our company’s roots and describes why we do something, what drives us and the contribution Evonik makes to society over and above generating profits.

At Evonik, we go beyond chemistry to make life a little better day in, day out – a goal we are committed to. We aim to have a direct, positive impact on everyone’s life by enhancing the properties of our customers’ products. Our purpose is hence the driving force behind our strategic decisions, through which we naturally take responsibility for the present and future generations.
