OUR SOCIAL COMMITMENT
Our four focus topics
Our commitment is based on our corporate competencies and objectives and focuses on the fields of education, climate protection, water and culture.
Our goals are identical for all areas:
- Mobilize resources and people for social engagement,
- achieve positive impacts on business, the environment and society.
As a company, we want to contribute to improving living conditions, education, training and equal opportunities, as well as health and safety. We also strive to attract talent, engage in a comprehensive dialog with our stakeholders, and have a positive impact on employee motivation.

Employees respond to a call from our first responders!
Employees at LANXESS's Pittsburgh HQ volunteered to help the Imperial Volunteer Fire Department (VFD), an important community partner responsible for emergency response at the building, throughout their annual weekly fish fry season! Employees worked together to prepare and serve food, clean up, and handle other tasks to support the popular event, which serves as one of the department’s largest fundraisers. The effort was a success, with the fire department raising funds to support its life-saving work within the community.
Despite the busy event at the fire hall, the firefighters are still responsible for responding to emergencies during these events, so having the extra help from the LANXESS team allowed them to do so without worry as the team picked up the slack to maintain a successful
event – all while having a great time teambuilding and serving the community. The Imperial Volunteer Fire Department has been a long time first responder to our Pittsburgh site. We are grateful for their community service and look forward to continuing to partner with these brave, hardworking men and women for many years to come! A special thanks to all of the LANXESS volunteers who took the time to support this effort!
Founded in 1999, the New Jersey Chemistry Council Education Foundation (NJCCEF), administered by the Chemistry Council of New Jersey, has raised more than $225,000 to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education and the many opportunities available in the business of chemistry.
Past supported events include the Teachers, Industry and the Environment (TIE) workshop, which offered a select group of kindergarten through eighth grade science teachers the opportunity to attend workshops facilitated by education and industry experts.
The workshops designed in conjunction with organizations like the Liberty Science Center and Chemical Heritage Foundation provided hands-on experiments and lessons that teachers might incorporate into their science curriculum. The educators learned new techniques to increase students’ interests in science and science related careers.
The NJCCEF also helps to promote an interest in science by promoting chemistry poster/essay contests. As well, when requested, the Foundation handles speaker requests from schools and other related organizations.
The Foundation also supports other non-profit organizations in New Jersey that promote science education, particularly among younger students.
Education is a main pillar of our corporate giving program, especially STEM Education.
Initiatives
like the Elmira (Ontario) Secondary School’s First Robotics program provide
students with opportunities to learn about growing technologies that can shape
their future – and maybe their careers.
Congratulations to First Robotics Team 4917 and all of the awardees at the Commencement Awards ceremony– we are proud to present these checks and thankful to partner with programs like this!
