Welcome to Covestro Japan

Purpose – To make the world a brighter place
Climate change, growing world population, urbanization: these and many other global trends constitute huge challenges for mankind – today and even more tomorrow. Covestro contributes to overcoming them: with a wide range of innovative products and solutions. Because high-quality plastics are a key to an ecological and thus brighter future for the next generation.
Our purpose sets the direction for our actions. We must combine our commitment and responsibility to the preservation of life’s natural foundations with the creation of lasting value.
Vision – We will be fully circular
Today’s economy often works as a one-way street: Take, make, waste – this decade-long principle has become obsolete. That’s why we at Covestro are fully embracing the Circular Economy and want to contribute to making it a global guiding principle.
Circularity is the key to climate neutrality, resource conservation and the preservation of nature and environment. So we encourage everybody to help close the loop by:
- Finding new ways of putting resources to good use and reuse
- Making products that last for as long as possible
- Avoiding waste
- Viewing products as a resource for recycling
- Exploring alternative sources of eco-friendly raw materials (e.g. biomass)
