Dr. Haldor Topsøe was the founder, the leader, and the catalyst of the company that bears his name. The business he created has helped shape the modern world. And yet, just as a catalyst initiates a change without changing itself, Dr. Haldor Topsøe lived by the same values that have made Haldor Topsoe such a great place to work – and to have worked.
His passion for science and determination to prove it could make a difference - for customers and the world - have helped define the values which have guided our company for more than half a century, and will continue to do so. Dr. Haldor Topsøe did not just express these values. He lived them. This is perhaps his greatest legacy, and his gift to us all: the Topsoe Spirit.

The Topsoe Spirit unites us, encouraging each one of us to assume responsibility for our actions so that, together, we can make a difference - for our customers and the world.
We honor employees who live out the Topsoe values with Topsoe Spirit Award.
