About the Company

Covestro

Global supplier of polyurethanes and polycarbonates

Covestro makes high-tech polymers, such as polyurethanes and polycarbonates, that are used in everyday products like cars, building insulation, electronics, and footwear. Its materials work by forming durable plastics and foams that add strength, lightness, and other useful properties to end products. Covestro became independent from Bayer in 2015, and now operates as a standalone materials company that focuses on innovation and sustainability. It differentiates itself through its commitment to a circular economy, aiming to make its operations and products fully circular, and by forming strategic partnerships (for example with Abu Dhabi’s XRG) to accelerate growth and sustainability goals. The company’s goal is to provide advanced materials while reducing environmental impact and moving toward a fully circular materials system.
