Outlook

We represent our political interests and support the renewable energy revolution both nationally and at the European level as a means of achieving climate neutrality. Capable of unleashing a surge of innovation, climate neutrality can both secure and strengthen the ability of the European Union to compete internationally. In this regard, the success of Germany’s energy-intensive industry will depend on the country’s expansion of renewable energy sources.

The Dutch Minister for Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, Sigrid Kaag, visited our Amsterdam site in February 2021 to learn about on-site vaccine production. Victor Everhardt, the deputy mayor of Amsterdam, accompanied her. During their tour, they found out about the production lines and quality control.

We presented the WACKER Silicone Award, which has a cash value of €10,000, for the 18th time in July 2021. It ranks alongside the American Chemical Society’s Kipping Award as the most important international accolade in organosilicon chemistry.
