Sustainable trade at Cognis

For Cognis as an international corporation, sustainability is also of key importance in our trading relationships. We place enormous value on ensuring the fair and respectful treatment of our trading partners and of the natural resources on which our business relations are based. We have publicly stated our principles and philosophy in this regard in our commitment to sustainable trade. 

Sustainable development
Similarly, our  sustainable value chain is, as the name might suggest, based on the principles of sustainable development. Examples of our best practice approach, such as the
Argan case study demonstrate how closely we cooperate with Cognis’ local trading partners to their and our benefit. Among other things, we provide investment both for the training of the local population and for environmental protection measures. Cognis has also been a member of the
Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil since 2004, an organization committed to the conservation of the world’s rainforests.
