Human Rights

At Evonik, we understand that respect for human rights is the backbone of responsible and ethical business. Our commitment extends across the entire organization and reaches into every link of our value chain. We are aware of our responsibilities and take them seriously, not only within our own operations, but also with our partners and suppliers.

Tools and guidelines

We employ a range of tools, principles of conduct and guidelines that help us fulfill our commitment to human rights. These are carefully designed to ensure that we understand and live up to our commitments. For an in-depth look at our human rights approach and policies, we invite you to visit our corporate website (click here).

Acting legally and ethically: our top priority

Compliance with applicable laws and internal company rules is our top priority. We believe that lawful and ethical behavior is essential for the trust of our stakeholders and the success of our company. This principle is embedded in every layer of our organization.

Whistleblower system: your voice counts

To underscore our commitment to integrity, Evonik has implemented a whistleblower system. This system provides a safe and confidential way for employees and external parties to report crimes and serious violations. We encourage a culture in which reporting concerns or potential risks is seen as a constructive step toward continuous improvement.

At Evonik, we strive to conduct business in which respect for human rights is not only an obligation but also a matter of honor. We are committed to maintaining these standards and continuously improving our processes to make a positive impact on society and the business in which we operate.
