Stakeholder dialog

ALTANA stays in close communication with the neighbors of its sites. Especially in places where our production sites directly adjoin residential areas, we distribute information by direct mail or indirectly through the local media and engage in dialog. In Wesel, we organize neighborhood events to report on construction projects and to give the residents advance notice of construction activities. These events are supplemented with neighborhood hotlines and personal contact information.
We also organize regular tours of our buildings and production facilities to strengthen public trust in the safety of our operations. In addition to individual tours, we also take part in nationwide campaigns such as ”Architecture Day” or ”Chemical Industry Open House Day.”

We also maintain a highly constructive and harmonious dialog with local politicians and media. In places where ALTANA is a well-known and important employer, we also initiate local promotional campaigns to show the public how important we are as a large employer in terms of economic impact and jobs.
