Corporate culture

As a company with focus on research, ALTANA is aware of its responsibility when it comes to the commercial use of new scientific insights. We try to weigh the opportunities and risks of applying new technologies in a dialog with scientists, our customers, and the public. The protection of natural resources takes an eminent role in these considerations. ALTANA works diligently to produce sustainably, to conserve resources, and to reduce environmental pollution.

 

Our company is characterized by openness and a work atmosphere of mutual appreciation. Occupational safety and health take precedence over economic considerations. We not only consider environmental awareness an entrepreneurial duty toward society, but also an important prerequisite for our economic success and competitiveness. As a consequence, ALTANA promotes the environmental awareness of its employees and expects responsible use of resources.

We want all of our actions to be based on long-term, fair partnership. We are a fair competitor. ALTANA respects the laws, customs and cultural preferences of the countries in which we are active. We promote equal opportunity and oppose any form of discrimination, be it for sexual orientation, ethnic origin, ideology, disability, or age. Our corporate culture is characterized by openness, honesty, mutual respect, the ability to accept criticism, tolerance, and a positive attitude.
