Where performance pays

Cognis believes that dedication and performance will enable it to achieve its ambitious goals and long-term success. Only through outstanding performance can we achieve outstanding results. This holds true as much for the individual as for the entire team, for the whole is far more than just the sum of its parts.

Exceptional performance brings exceptional rewards at Cognis. Your personal success is measured by your quantifiable contribution to the company's success. This also means that what you earn is truly performance-related.

Salaries for managerial staff and for employees paid at negotiated rates are determined in accordance with the Target Outstanding Performance System (TOP). In addition to a fixed base salary, you will receive an annual success bonus that reflects both your own personal performance and that of your team. Due to our incentive program, a considerable bonus beyond your base salary is available from day one, even to junior managers.

Outstanding performance by our sales employees are recognized through the Sales Incentive Plan, another performance-based bonus system.
