We would not be the world’s leading chemical distributor if we did not make a meaningful impact to our business partners, and as such, we strive to create the highest possible value for our partners, regardless of the task at hand. When we think of our business, we need to ask ourselves two questions: How can we help our business partners to succeed – today and in the future?

Brenntag strives to be the industry’s most effective and preferred channel partner.

Brenntag is truly a “people’s business”. Everything we achieve as a business is accomplished with and through our employees. They are the connection between our business partners. They connect people and build relationships. We demonstrate that the distribution of chemicals and ingredients is not just a business for us. It is an attitude. And our passion is to be the best partner connecting you as our customers and suppliers in local markets worldwide. “ConnectingChemistry is an integral part of our corporate culture. Therefore, I believe it is really important we put people at the center point of our communication as they are all making these important connections on a daily basis and are the face of Brenntag to the outside world.” - Steve Holland, CEO, Brenntag AG The “ConnectingChemistry” slogan, reflects Brenntag’s day-to-day business and emphasize Brenntag’s center position in the value chain. Day in, day out, the global Brenntag employees connect customers and suppliers, thus forming a hub for expertise and knowledge in the many different areas of chemical distribution. “Do you know why I like airports? They are my pathways to our global network. As a member of Brenntag's Global Key Account Team, I fly the world to build connections. Meeting with our customers, understanding their changing needs and creating dynamic business solutions in order to help them write their own success stories." “Fortunately my father guided me to a company that has sustainability in its DNA – Brenntag. As Plant Supervisor, it is my responsibility to connect all aspects of sustainability in my daily work. Always putting safety, quality and the environment first in our actions is what I aim for together with my team. I’m proud to be working for a company that has its heart in the right spot when it comes to something as important as sustainability.” Marco Riquelme has been with Brenntag Chile for 20 years and knows the company by heart. He is Plant Supervisor and Head of the Emergency Brigade at the site in Santiago de Chile taking his responsibility in regards to safety towards his team and the environment in general very seriously. Thinking of sustainability and acting to its principles is the basis of his daily work. My dad has been a truck driver all his life, working 25 years transporting products for Brenntag Chile. When I was in school, he told me stories of his work and the risks of the products that are handled here. For me, he was a super hero who lived every day faced with risks and returning home safely. I admired him and wanted to be like him. When the opportunity arose, I presented myself at the offices of the company when I was 19 years old and I passed the selection process. I started at Brenntag mostly dedicated to housekeeping, quickly moving on to become Junior Operator of the drum filling plant and after that Plant Senior Operator working in the truck station. Because environmental protection is important for everyone and fundamental when it comes to working with the kind of products we work with. A company that destroys the environment destroys itself; a society that destroys the environment, destroys itself. The environment allows us to live and so taking care of it is a shared responsibility. Without this concern, Brenntag could not be sustainable, especially considering the hazardous nature of the chemicals we work with. For me it is the most important core value of Brenntag that we should cherish and take care of on a daily basis and in each activity. I’m very proud to be leader of our own internal Emergency Brigade and to contribute to making Brenntag in Santiago a safe place to work. I’m well aware of the responsibility for my team to ensure that everybody reaches his home safely each day. At our site in Santiago and I believe throughout all Brenntag sites globally every employee has the value “Safety First” in mind, which makes me very proud to work for this company.
