Corporate Governance

Covestro places great importance on responsible corporate governance. At the heart of this promise to our shareholders stands our commitment to the German Corporate Governance Code and to the Articles of Incorporation that reflect this standard.

Since the day it was listed in October 2015, Covestro has met this commitment and been in compliance with all of the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code. It has formally documented this compliance with annual declarations and has further declared that it intends to comply fully with the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code in the future as well.

Moreover, a detailed corporate governance report is an integral part of the annual report. Here, Covestro discusses corporate governance, compliance and compensation in addition to its declaration of conformity.
