Today, BASF publishes its integrated Greater China Report for the 17^th consecutive year. The report reviews performance across the three dimensions of sustainability — economy, environment, and society — in Greater China for the year 2024. This marks the first occasion that BASF Greater China has disclosed comprehensive information since the launch of BASF’s “Winning Ways” strategy in 2024.

BASF inaugurated its fifth Creation Center in Asia Pacific, located in Ansan, Korea on June 17, 2025. Designed as a collaborative space where customers can experience the power of performance materials to inspire and jointly develop cutting-edge design solutions, the BASF Creation Center brings together the discovery and understanding of material applications in the early stage of product design development under one roof. The new Center provides an additional platform to strengthen BASF’s customer proximity and reinforces its commitment to accelerating innovation across key industries.
 

During the 2025 Shanghai International Carbon Neutrality Expo in Technologies, Products and Achievements (CNE), BASF entered into a four-party strategic partnership with Hefei Gotion High-Tech Power Energy Co., Ltd. (Gotion), China Gas Holdings Limited (China Gas), and BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd. (BASF Shanshan).

With the theme “Co-drive Sustainable Journey, Co-create for Shared Success”, BASF participates in the 2025 Shanghai International Carbon Neutrality Expo in Technologies, Products and Achievements (CNE). Through three sections titled “renewable energy”, “alternative raw materials”, and “new technologies”, BASF presents its latest progress towards its goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, along with its innovative low-carbon technologies and co-creations with its partners.

BASF is now complementing its polyphthalamide (PPA) portfolio by Ultramid® Advanced N3U42G6, a polyamide 9T with non-halogenated flame-retardant, which minimizes electro-corrosion of metal contacts in electric and electronics (E&E) parts for e-mobility. The flame-retardant PPA increases the safety and durability of high-voltage (HV) connectors in e.g. inverters, DC-DC converters and batteries of electric cars. Due to its high strength and stiffness over a broad temperature range, its outstanding chemical resistance and dimensional stability, the Ultramid® Advanced N grade enhances the robustness and reliability of thin-walled HV connectors meeting growing industry needs for halide-free E&E components used in warm and humid conditions. The new Ultramid® Advanced N3U42G6 is available in uncolored with UL-certified masterbatches but also as pre-colored version with high color stability for easy processing and excellent color retention after heat ageing.
