Asking Questions Is What Makes Us Better

Curiosity sparks progress. We ask how things work and how we can improve them. At Clariant, we don’t have all the answers. But we ask the right questions and take different perspectives. That’s why, for this Integrated Report, we spoke to our own experts and to our stakeholders about the most material topics of the Materiality Matrix.
