Stakeholder dialogue expanded significantly

In 2012, we implemented a variety of projects and events to develop a more active dialogue with key stakeholders on issues that are or may become relevant to our company and our economic success.

The stakeholders of relevance to LANXESS are the groups, institutions and people with whom we are linked directly or indirectly through our business units and who therefore have a justified interest in our activities. The primary purpose of our dialogue with customers, employees, suppliers, capital market participants, the media, neighbors of our sites, and representatives of politics, public authorities and NGOs is to identify topics that we consider to be significant in terms of our corporate responsibility. At the same time, we seek to encourage mutual understanding and build trust through open and constructive dialogue.
