The underestimated twin

When people think of climate protection, they mostly think of green energy. But energy must also be used much more effectively, particularly in buildings, say Covestro CEO Markus Steilemann and Christian Noll from the German Corporate Energy Efficiency Initiative.

Energetic duo

Wind power and chemicals: one industry cannot do without the other. Together, the two are accelerating the energy transition. A double interview with Covestro CEO Markus Steilemann and Peter Obling, SVP Head of Central Europe Ørsted.

The truth in the age of technical manipulability

Artificial intelligence: It brings fascinating new possibilities into the everyday life and business world. But it also opens the door to disinformation and manipulation. Companies could counter this.

From the boss's chair to the auditorium

For many, this is a professional dream: to sit in the executive chair of a large company. For Yolanda Raffay, this dream came true in 2019 when, as part of the "My Position is Top" campaign, she was given the opportunity to take over the management of the Covestro production sites in North Rhine-Westphalia for one day.

The waste, the city and the summit

The climate summit in Dubai is primarily about expanding green energy. However, in the fight against global warming, the world's cities should become centers of the circular economy by satisfying their hunger for resources by, among other things, turning their waste into raw materials.

Joining forces to make a real impact

The chemical industry still relies heavily on fossil resources, which contributes to climate change. The new CEO-led Global Impact Coalition is set to pave the way to net-zero emissions by 2050.
