As we look back at 2024, we’re filled with gratitude. It wasn’t just about the innovation efforts—though those were certainly worth celebrating—but about the journey we took together as a team. This year has been defined by growth: growth in collaboration, in self-reflection, and in how we support one another. We’re proud to be part of a diverse and dynamic company that embraces open dialogue, values everyone's contributions, and works toward a shared vision. Together, we’re focused on building a sustainable future, and we’re excited to carry this momentum into the year ahead. Here’s to continued, circular progress and shared success in 2025. #Leadership #Reflection #Teamwork #Innovation #Sustainability

Legislation and societal demands on #sustainability and #circularity are increasing - and meeting ever more ambitious targets requires real partnership across the value chain. In the end, a lot comes down to supply and demand. That's why we teamed up with BASF and the result is a match made in heaven: by providing us with the bio-based 2-Octyl Acrylate for our #CQ portfolio, BASF enables us to offer increased sustainability, excellent performance and traceability to customers. At the same time, we hope our CQ portfolio can increase market uptake of high performing, more sustainable materials across a broader range of applications. Interested in the #StatusNext of circularity? Meet us at #ECS2025 and discover specific CQ products and how they can help meet your targets. In the meantime, why not check out our interview with Prof. Dr. Christoph Fleckenstein, Principal Expert Global Acrylics-/ Methacrylics Value Chain at BASF?

⭐ Advent Sundays at Covestro | Coatings & Adhesives – Festive traditions around the world ⭐ For our colleague Dr. Dinesh Patel, Regional Technical Manager for the Middle East and Africa at Covestro | Coatings & Adhesives, the festive season is all about spending more time with others and fostering meaningful connections. Dinesh embodies this spirit by celebrating festivals like #Diwali, the Festival of Lights. This major Hindu celebration symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. It’s a time for vibrant decorations, traditional foods, and cherished moments with loved ones. For Dinesh, Diwali in Dubai is a colorful and joyous affair, complete with homemade sweets, traditional delicacies, intricate rangoli designs on the floor, and radiant lights adorning his home both inside and out. ✨ The celebrations don’t stop there! Dinesh also treasures New Year festivities with family and friends, drawing inspiration from the diverse cultural celebrations around him, from Eid to Christmas. This beautiful blend of traditions highlights the power of inclusion and the joy of learning from different cultures. 🌍 His festive mantra? "Celebration for me is about gaining energy and recharging life's battery by coming closer to friends." Whether it’s cooking with loved ones, joining in group activities, or enjoying Dubai’s vibrant social scene, these moments bring him joy and motivation. As we step into this festive season, let’s take inspiration from Dinesh: Celebrate together, learn from each other, and recharge for the year ahead!

⭐ Advent Sundays at Covestro | Coatings & Adhesives – Festive traditions around the world ⭐ December often feels like a whirlwind, doesn’t it? Year-end deadlines, endless to-do lists, and the rush to wrap up the year can make this season feel more hectic than magical. But for Miriam Weichert, Head of Marketing Communication & Content Marketing EMLA, there’s a little helper who reminds her what this time of year is really about: Milli, the house elf. 🧝 Since last year, Milli has been a beloved part of Miriam’s family traditions, spreading Christmas cheer and delighting her young son with daily adventures. Every morning, when Miriam and her son check to see what Milli’s been up to, the excitement and joy in her child’s eyes bring a sense of calm and comfort - an important reminder that the magic of the season often lies in its simplest moments. 💖 At the office, Miriam admits she sometimes wishes Milli could lend a helping hand with her tasks too. After all, who wouldn’t love a bit of extra magic and order during such a busy time? 🌟 As we embrace this festive season, Miriam’s story encourages us all to pause, cherish the joy around us, and find our own little moments of magic - even amidst the busiest of days. 💬 Do you have a special tradition or "helper" that makes this season magical for you?

Everyone needs more sustainable products but to be truly successful, they need to include a few key ingredients. 👩🍳 According to Dr. Anja Thomas, responsible for Marketing and Sustainability at BASF’s Acrylic and Methacrylic Monomers business, it’s crucial to ensure transparency, avoid competition with food production and achieve proven PCF reductions in today’s more circular coating solutions. But equally important is the need to meet the same high-performance standards that customers know and trust. Thanks to bio-based 2-Octyl Acrylate from BASF, our CQ portfolio shows that increased sustainability and excellent performance really can go hand-in-hand. And all this is only possible when supply and demand work together and when partners from across the value chain collaborate for increased sustainability. 🤝 At #ECS2025 we'll show you how partnership can pioneer increased sustainability for everyone's benefit. To learn more about #StatusNext circularity, meet us at the #EuropeanCoatingsShow to learn what our CQ portfolio means for you.
