Covestro celebrates 10 years of making the world a brighter place

PITTSBURGH, September 2, 2025 — Covestro, a world-leading supplier of high-tech polymer materials, celebrated its 10th anniversary on September 1st, marking a decade of innovation, sustainability leadership and community engagement since its separation from Bayer in 2015. 

To celebrate the occasion, the company, whose purpose is to make the world a brighter place, launched an employee driven volunteerism campaign, dubbed 10 for 10. The 10 for 10 program encouraged employees across the Americas region to give back in their local communities through volunteering with non-profit organizations. The goal - providing 10,000 hours of volunteerism between January 1st, 2025, and the company’s tenth anniversary on September 1^st. For every volunteer hour logged, Covestro will donate 10 meals through Feeding America and the Global FoodBanking Network. 

Covestro employees exceeded the 10,000-hour goal nearly two months ahead of schedule, prompting the company to extend the campaign by an additional 5,000 hours through the end of 2025. Covestro will continue donating 10 meals per hour of volunteerism, ultimately providing 150,000 meals for people facing hunger when the new hourly goal is reached. 

"Our people are the heart of Covestro. Their passion and sense of purpose, exemplified by their commitment to volunteerism, drives the spirit of innovation that sets Covestro apart and makes us a steward in our communities and a partner of choice for our customers,” said Samir Hifri, chairman and president of Covestro LLC. "Our 10^th anniversary milestone represents both Covestro’s journey as a company and our dedication to our stakeholders, from the communities where we reside to our customers and partners.” 

Covestro focuses on customer-centric innovation, refining its product portfolio to meet customer demands and co-creating solutions for industries from construction and automotive to electronics, healthcare and beyond. It also continues expanding its product offerings to include more sustainable materials that enable customers to advance their own sustainability journeys. 

As Covestro enters its second decade, the company remains committed to its vision to become fully circular and its climate neutrality goals, aiming to achieve operational climate neutrality by 2035 while continuing to develop solutions that address customers' evolving needs. 

"These past ten years have shown what's possible when customer-focused innovation meets purpose," added Hifri. "We look forward to continuing our journey of creating more sustainable solutions that serve our customers while making meaningful contributions to the communities we call home."
