All employees in Germany are able to submit ideas via the intranet and bonuses are allocated depending on the level of benefit provided by the suggested change. The highest individual bonus was awarded to an employee at the Leverkusen site of the company’s subsidiary, Saltigo, who received approximately €23,000 for his suggestion for increasing efficiency in a plant producing oryzalin, an active ingredient for crop protection products. As a result of this optimisation, the capacity of the plant was increased by 12%.
