Clariant Announces Simplified Organizational and Leadership Structure

Clariant announced changes to its leadership and organizational structure as part of the company’s ongoing initiatives to implement its purpose-led strategy and cultural transformation. The new operating model allows Clariant to position itself for long-term sustainable growth while remaining committed to its strategic priorities, focusing on customers, innovation, sustainability, and people. Clariant also revealed its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) roadmap with a focus on gender equality, an inclusive culture and cultural identity. As part of the reorganization, Clariant will slim down the number of Business Units (BU) from five to three and locate the BU Presidents in the regions with the larger customer base and higher growth potential for the respective businesses. It will also create a new Executive Steering Committee that will include the CEO, the CFO and the Presidents of the new Business Units, who will have full P&L responsibility. The new structure will enable Clariant to reduce hierarchical layers and overall complexity across its business functions. It is expected to foster greater accountability, speed up decision-making processes and enhance customer proximity, while strengthening diversity. Clariant will combine its existing BU Catalysts and Business Line Biofuels & Derivatives into one single BU called “Catalysts”, Functional Minerals and Additives into “Adsorbents & Additives”, and Industrial and Consumer Specialties and Oil and Mining Services into “Care Chemicals”. The reorganization has no impact on the financial reporting by Business Area within the current fiscal year. The new businesses will be headed by newly appointed BU Presidents Angela Cackovich, Jens Cuntze, and Christian Vang. By being located in their biggest growth regions, they will further increase their customer proximity. With the elimination of the Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) roles, the new structure enables direct reporting lines of Clariant’s BUs to the CEO. As a consequence of the new structure, Hans Bohnen, Chief Operating Officer, and Bernd Hoegemann, Chief Transformation Officer, have decided to step down from their current roles in the Executive Committee and will pursue their career outside the company. Clariant will ensure additional transparency and accountability by moving away from its current structure of an Executive Committee with a sole oversight and review role. Instead, the Company will have a new Executive Steering Committee that will include CEO Conrad Keijzer, CFO Bill Collins as well as the three BU Presidents effective July 1st, 2022.Together with Chief Human Resources Officer Tatiana Berardinelli, General Counsel Alfred Muench, newly appointed Chief Corporate Development Officer Chris Hansen, and Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer Richard Haldimann, the Executive Steering Committee will form the Executive Leadership Team. By bringing all key functions together when it comes to important strategic decisions, Clariant will speed up decision making, strengthen its governance and increase accountability. To complement the structural changes by a diversity-based culture, Clariant also launched its DE&I roadmap. It is an essential part of Clariant’s new purpose-led strategy, aimed at building a more diverse, equitable and inclusive future by focusing on gender equality, an inclusive culture and cultural identity. For each of these areas, Clariant has set ambitious targets for 2030 that are accompanied by a variety of concrete actions.
