LANXESS sees a commitment to education as one of the key aspects of a sustainable corporate policy. As a specialty chemicals company, LANXESS needs well educated employees to safeguard growth and added value. Qualified young professionals are not always easy to find, though, especially in the scientific field. In addition to investing in training and development initiatives for its own employees, the specialty chemicals company therefore also supports talented young scientists at schools and institutes of higher education. This strengthens society as a whole and, in the long term, boosts LANXESS’s competitiveness.

Commitment with a real impact – the LANXESS education initiative
LANXESS launched a far-reaching education initiative in Germany back in 2008, supporting local schools, providing funds to improve scientific facilities and organizing its own workshops for talented students. This commitment is having a real impact, as demonstrated by a recent student survey. Among other things, LANXESS’s support makes students more motivated, creates a greater interest in science and influences career choices.

This systematic commitment to education also extends to other countries. LANXESS is aware of its responsibilities to its sites and is demonstrating how business and educational institutions can work together constructively.
