Action plan—our key objectives

In 2002, Cognis launched a wideranging program under the general heading “25 by 2012”. Wishing to make a meaningful contribution to reducing environmental impact, our aim in instituting this project is to achieve a 25% reduction in all the major indicators—that is to say specific energy consumption, emissions and wastewater, among others—by the year 2012.

This overall company target is reflected facility by facility in our Master Plan processes, whereby specific site conditions are taken into account. The environmental targets are accompanied by ambitious goals in the fields of raw material sourcing, safety, health and human resources, the purpose being to focus the organization on all those essential aspects that characterize a sustainable company.

Sustainability: what we want to achieve in the next five years
