•  "Security by design" principle to review and optimize IT applications
• Raising employees’ risk awareness on cybersecurity with mandatory training
• Regular risk assessments onsite security

We protect our employees, sites, plants, and proprietary information from unauthorized access. Cybersecurity and information security play an increasingly important role. The “security by design” principle is applied to critically review and optimize IT applications from a cybersecurity perspective throughout the application development phase. We take various measures, including providing training programs to our employees, to increase our capability to prevent, identify and react to security incidents. BASF’s group-wide recommendations for information protection were also updated in line with the latest developments in 2022.

To improve awareness of security threats, we scheduled mandatory online training for all staff. Cybersecurity has become increasingly important, especially for those who work from home. The training was also designed in different formats, such as seminars, case studies, and interactive training. In 2022, around 58,000 BASF Group employees, including 5,300 from Greater China, completed basic cyber security and information protection training.  

Another important aspect of security is site security. Our security teams handle everything from site access controls to protection from industrial espionage. Potential safety and security hazards are routinely considered for all investment projects and strategic initiatives. The basic premise is to identify potential risks early on, assess them properly and devise appropriate safeguards.
