Global Product Strategy - Initiative for
the safe handling of chemicals.

ALTANA is keen to support this initiative. GPS is one of many initiatives for the protection of human health and the environment launched by the ICCA (International Council of Chemical Associations). The initiative makes a key contribution to the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) of the United Nations. The ICCA is implementing the Global Product Strategy (GPS) as part of the Responsible Care initiative.

EHS represents major responsibility

A chemical company not only offers opportunities, but also is associated with risk. For this reason, occupational safety and health are top priorities for ALTANA. EHS managers make sure that standards are met and risks are minimized. more

Heat and power from our
own production

We have great trust

Employment at ALTANA is built on mutual trust and the high motivation of our employees. This means everyone’s physical and emotional wellbeing must be guaranteed, and a new counseling center for psychological stress is contributing to this effort. more
