4 Letter from the Management Board
engagement. The managing director of a Swedish foundation that promotes women
in management positions and an employee representative on ALTANA’s Supervisory Board
talk about what German chemical companies can learn from Swedish firms. And the
purchasing manager of one of our largest customers and his key account manager discuss
the issue of how innovation can be advanced to continue to benefit both sides in the
future, and what role sustainable products play in the process.
Our answer: The people at ALTANA are and will remain our recipe for success. They make
ALTANA what it is: a highly innovative customer- and service-oriented company with the
courage and will to change, yet at the same time with the staying power needed for sus-
tainable corporate action.
We would like to warmly thank our employees for their contribution to the success and
development of ALTANA in the 2017 fiscal year. Thanks also go to the members of the
Supervisory Board for their constructive accompaniment and their trust in ALTANA’s work.
