Corporate policy

We are ALTANA: collaborative, personal, passionate.

We are the German medium-size business: intercultural and globally active. These are our values:

Openness
Those who would like to shape the future must think long-term. We assume responsibility for environment and society as an integral part of our corporate policy. This preserves the foundations of our growth and opens up new business areas.

Trust
A fruitful, long-term cooperation is based on trust. This applies to our employees, whom we encourage indivdually, as well as to our satisfied customers, suppliers and service providers.

Scope for action
Innovation is not limited to research and development, but encompasses all processes within the company. Every employee is called upon to seek and implement improvement opportunities in his or her area of responsibility.

Appreciation
Our most important resource is decisive for our success: employees who are qualified above average and who are motivated as well as committed.
