Clariant – Re-branding
Clariant has undergone a fundamental change in recent years. After successfully completing a restructuring phase, we have resolutely aligned ourselves for profitable growth. We want to become the global leader in specialty chemicals - competitive, innovative, and sustainable, with outstanding value creation for all of our stakeholders and partners. We want this approach to be visible to everyone. So the evolution of our look is a logical step. Our new branding translates this approach into three clear brand values:
Performance. People. Planet.
We are placing these values at the heart of our actions. They describe the way we do business and the values that are our top priority in our interactions with each other, with our partners, as well as with the environment and society. They give us direction and define our corporate culture.
