Future Topics

Product Safety
We are currently preparing a further 110 substance dossiers for the third REACH stage, which runs until mid-2018.

Ecological Compatibility
WACKER is continuing to develop its environmental product assessments throughout the Group, which we use for evaluating the sustainability performance of our key product lines.

Research and Development
The Group’s R&D work remains focused on key strategic projects. In 2017, WACKER plans to allocate 11 percent (2016: 15 percent) of its R&D budget to these projects. Our R&D work will prioritize the highly promising fields of energy, consumer care, biotechnology, construction applications and semiconductors, with particular emphasis on energy storage and renewable energy generation.
