Open dialogue to foster acceptance by society

Evonik is committed to making nanotechnology transparent for the general public and therefore takes part in dialogues and discussion platforms with consumers, environmental associations, relevant authorities and international organizations. Representatives of the Evonik Group play part in the German government's "Nano Dialogue", where experts from industry, science, authorities and trade associations discuss the opportunities offered by nanotechnology and ways of avoiding the possible risks.

For example, Evonik is participating in the survey conducted by the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI) on handling nanomaterials.

To help answer open questions and improve test methods, staff from Evonik are involved in international working groups at the European Center for Ecotoxicology and Toxicology of Chemicals (ECETOC), the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). One example is its work on the OECD Working Party on Nanomaterials.
