That’s because, on a worldwide average, the human race already consumes twice the amount of resources that the planet can renew every year. That’s an idea that should give us pause—and also inspire us to develop products that make a noticeable con- tribution to sustainability and are themselves produced sustainably. Sustainability is part of our corporate philosophy and is firmly anchored in our DNA. In order to remain competitive in line with this philosophy over the long term, we need innovations, invest- ments, and growth. As a chemicals company, we are also aware of our responsibility to combine economic success with social justice and environmental compatibility. We want to grow sustainably and find solutions for the urgent issues that are shaping our future. Those who truly take on responsibility are those who keep a close watch over themselves and their products and processes. Some time ago we set long-term environmental targets for ourselves for the period between 2004 and 2014, and we’ve reached these targets two years earlier than expected. However, we’re not going to be content with this success. We’ve set ourselves new and challenging targets for the period between 2013 and 2020: We aim to decrease our specific greenhouse gases by a further 12 percent and our specific water consumption by ten percent. A supply of raw materials is essential for a manufacturing company. In many countries all over the world, economic development has caused the demand for raw materials to grow by leaps and bounds. At the same time, companies as well as end consumers are increasingly basing their 5 purchasing decisions on the documented sustainability and environmental compatibility of the supply chain. That’s why we have joined together with other leading chemicals companies to es- tablish the initiative “Together for Sustainability.” Its goal is to improve sustainability along the supply chain by setting shared environmental and social standards. It also aims to increase trans- parency and efficiency and to optimize the environmental and social standards of our suppliers in a targeted way. Sustainability plays an important role for our customers. They expect the products and technolo- gies they receive from us to comply with high environmental and social standards while also being cost-efficient. By developing constantly improved solutions, we are strengthening the trust our customers place in us. For example, we have proved through certified lifecycle assessments that the addition of amino acids to animal feed not only provides balanced nutrition but also saves re- sources and the environment. Another example is the CAREtain toolbox. This platform documents approximately 25 environmentally relevant characteristics of the most important cosmetics in- gredients produced by Evonik and thus gives the cosmetics industry new options for formulating their products. All over the world, Evonik makes sure that the operation of our production plants is safe and free of incidents—for the sake of our employees as well as our neighbors and the environment. We have reduced our plants’ material emissions and energy releases by 50 percent since 2008. The number of work-related accidents and days lost through sickness has decreased by 90 percent since 2000. Those are very good values, but every work-related accident and every release of material emissions is one too much.
