Dividend policy
Covestro intends its shareholders to participate appropriately in the company's success. Therefore, the company has formulated a new dividend policy, valid as of the financial year 2020: Between 35% and 55% of the net income is to be distributed as a dividend.
„This dividend policy is more closely linked to Covestro's overall financial position and enables us to increase the dividend in years with strong earnings.”
Dr Thomas Toepfer
Chief Financial Officer
