Our sustainability credentials have also been extensively recognized. Back in 2000, Cognis received Germany’s Wöhler Award for our alkyl polyglucosides (APG^®), a much vaunted range of surfactants manufactured from renewable raw materials. Also provided from nature’s store are our Disponil^® AFX surfactant systems which the Confederation of German Industry (BDI) honored with its 2006 Environment Award.
