Innovations for climate protection About ALTANA:
ALTANA has been a member of the UN Global Compact initiative
for responsible and sustainable corporate management since 2010.
At the Climate Change Conference in Paris (COP21) in December
2015, 195 countries had agreed on a global action plan to limit global
warming to well below 2°C to combat dangerous climate change. ALTANA is a global leader in true specialty chemicals. The Group
offers innovative, environmentally compatible solutions for coating
manufacturers, paint and plastics processors, the printing and
packaging industries, the cosmetics sector and the electrical and
electronics industry. The product range includes additives, special
coatings and adhesives, effect pigments, sealants and compounds,
impregnating resins and varnishes, and testing and measuring
instruments. ALTANA’s four divisions, BYK, ECKART, ELANTAS, and
ACTEGA, all occupy a leading position in their target markets with
respect to quality, product solution expertise, innovation and service.
ALTANA's corporate goals for environmental and climate protection
have been factored into the calculation of the variable income of top
management since 2007. The goal of climate neutrality by 2025 that
has now been formulated will also be integrated into the individual
target agreements.
“Our decades of experience in researching and developing innovative
solutions that contribute to sustainability will benefit us in the imple-
mentation of our climate protection target,” emphasizes ALTANA
CEO Martin Babilas.
Wire enamels from ALTANA’s ELANTAS division, for example, are
increasingly being used in electric vehicles and extend their service
life. BYK offers a solution for the recycling of polypropylene in car
batteries, which was previously not recyclable. An aluminum pigment
in wall paints developed by the ECKART division ensures that up to
50 percent of the heat is radiated back from the walls into the room.
A PVC-free seal from the ACTEGA division helps beverage bottlers
save 10,000 tons of steel for their crown caps. This corresponds to
the weight of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
