Political Foothold in the German Capital
As one of the world's leading manufacturers of polymer materials, Covestro maintains close contacts with political stakeholders. In order to maintain ongoing dialogue with decision-makers in federal politics, the company maintains a liaison office in Berlin. At the liaison office, guests can learn about the role of Covestro products along the entire value chain – from various industries and sectors to society and end consumers.
-
A spacious foyer invites Liaison Office visitors to interact. -
There is also a bit of Covestro in the furniture. The foam from the sofa upholstery comes from the company’s product portfolio. -
In the center of the room, guests will find a small selection of exhibits made of Covestro materials.
The Liaison Office is the center of Covestro’s political communication at the federal level and thus the most important point of contact with the political institutions in Berlin. From the materials manufacturer’s perspective, being able to successfully contribute to shaping policy is an essential component of entrepreneurship. The company is neutral in terms of party politics.
As part of its ongoing dialog, Covestro therefore regularly contacts authorities, members of parliament, associations, and non-governmental organizations directly. The company sees itself as a driving force, actively participating in political, regulatory, and social debates. The materials manufacturer is committed above all to a uniform and fair regulatory framework and fact-based decision-making. The central issues here include building a Circular Economy, chemicals regulation, energy policy, and maintaining global competitiveness.
To this end, the company is also involved in a large number of interest groups and organizations in Germany. Binding directives for political advocacy work apply here as well. Covestro has therefore been listed in the German Bundestag's lobby register since February 2022. Learn more about the company's advocacy activities at the federal level here.
